Jessup Door Company, a Division of A. J. Industries, Inc., is the world's largest manufacturer of quality louver. colonial panel, and sash doors.

Northway served as Jessup Door Company's exclusive distributor outlet in the West for the past several years, with warehouses in Los Angeles and Oakland. A new custom door manufacturing operation has recently been installed at the Los Angeles location, with complete facilities for the production of special styles and sizes of louvered and paneled doors.

The acquisition of Northway by Jessup Door Company will permit more efficient and economical service to our carload and truckload-volume jobber customers. New styles and new products will be added to the line to meet the specific needs of the Western home building market. The first two of these-the JD-109 eightpanel entrance door and the JD-1 1 3 fifteen-panel en- trance door, are in production, and can be ordered through the Los Angeles or Oakland warehouse offices. In addition to the sales-warehouses in Los Angeles and Oakland, the Jessup Door Company operates a branch manufacturing plant at Chico. California. and is currently constructing a wood crate, pallet and box fabricating plant at La Habra. California.

We look forward to serving you and hope you will find it convenient to visit us soon.

Public Lond Use

Tf/E ARE publishing this month on page six an YY address by Gene C. Brewer, immediate past president of National Forest Products Association and president of U. S. Plywood-Champion Papers, Inc., directed to the NFPA. It is entitled "tr'org' ing an Enlighteneil Public Land, Use Poli.cy lor the Nation."

We take this means oI calling your attention to this address for two reasons:

(I) Never have the problems of "encroachment of sprawling cities, broad avenues of transporta' tion, reservoirs, parks and wilderness areas' sea' shores and scenic tnonuments upon our available productive land base without a national land'use plan" been more clearly set forth; nor the solution been more simply put"Those of us who have been arrayed against each other (preservationists vs. land using industries) these many years must marshall our human resources together to evaluate our natural resources in terms of all our national needs."

(2) Unfortunately, creative thinking of this kind enjoys a very small audience, usually those most immediately concerned. The general public seldom is exposed to the other side of the coin. If we can help in some small way to broaden the base for better understanding of such basic problems, we have made a contribution to the nation's well being.

We urge you to read carefully Mr. Brewer's con. tribution, and tell your friends and neighbors. As we write the above, it occurs to us how infrequently the forest products industry gets its message across to the public. The fantastic flood of mis-information generated in the redwood park problem well illustrates the point. True, the industry and the California Redwood Association in particular have, in this case, done a magnificent job of presenting the true facts. But somehow all this good work goes to waste if the audience is pretty well confined to interested parties. I(/e are far from knowledgeable about public relations. But it does seem as though some means could be devised for complete and saturated public awareness.

While Mr. Brewer doesn't say it in so many words, he implies that the public should demand a national land-use policy, and that it should be set with the interests of the nation paramount. Everyone of us can work towards this goal.

It's 4 O'Clock Alreody?

fN HIS excellent message on the Management of I Ti-" (page 14) Reed Lawton hits on a point that, like the weather, everyone talks about, but no one does much about. All too often in business, the anguished cry, "It's 4 o'clock already?" is heard.

Wasting time can be great fun on your summor vacation, but it can be financially fatal for a busi' ness.

How well do you plan, manage and organize your time in relation to the tasks to be done? Are you well enough organized so that you could fill in that chart on page 15 and not be fibbing to yourself? Remember, no business can run itself, much as we sometimes wish they could. Go on, give it a whirl.
