Bellwood spells it like it is...
*P is for P-R-E-F-I-N-I-S-H-E-D
Why is it that jobbers and dealers everywher€ are moving as much as a carload a week of Bell- wood doors pre-finished right here at Bellwood? Because for quality priming and pre-finishing our cost is so low no one can honestly afford to pre-finish on the job any more. Also, there's'50% more irofit for you in selling a pre-finished door that takes no rnore of your storage space than a raw one. And, too, our extensive line of standard finishes is immediatety available.ln addition, because Bellwood stands behind every pre-finished door with a guarantee, any replacement haggling is:eliririnatgd.
If you can think of further reasons, they're probabty why these days, more than ever, P for Pre-finished spells BELLWOOD.

Iand Use Poticy
(Continued lrom Page 6) our industry has been obliged to rally to resist what we leel are unthinkins Scenic Trails, Wild and Scenic Rivers, National Redwood Park. and North Cascade National Park bills before the Senate of the United States. Each o{ these bills as put forward by the Secretary of the Interior would scriously reduce the nation's ability to grow trees and manage thcm in the public interest. If all wer.e to pass in their present forms, which is unlikely, the impact upon our public and private commercial timber lands u'ould be catastrophic.
Frankly, we are puzzled by the unrclenting attacks upon the proper management of lands in the fundamental public interest.
IIThere may be those who will say that I, as an individual concerned with the forest industries, have chosen to discuss these matters as a means to resist further federal land acquisition. This I tell you with all earnestness is not the case.
Our industry is concerned u'ith natural resources. We are deeply conscious of the rc-sponsibility we have for husbanding the forest resource in our keeping. We recognize. however, that the land, itsell is the priceless ncttural resource because it can neuer be enlarged.
If those of us who have been arrayed against each other thesc many years could marshall our human resources together to evaluate our natural resources in terms of all of our national needs we would indeed make a contribution to those generations vet to come.
I pray that we can bring this about.
I ask you to consider these questions:
What should the role of the Congress be in establishing a national land policy to meet the many and varying requirements of the nation and its people?
Can a national land policy sponsor a return to rural areas and relieve social and economic pressures in our cities?
Can the values of economics, community stability, and essential goods be equated with recreation, heauty and spiritual needs in terms of land use?
While we seem, as a nation, to be able to provide both guns and butter, why can't we also provide jobs and community stability along with recreation?
Does the nation ever properly consider that the needs o{ the many must be paramount irre,qpective o{ the honest desires of the few?
These are difficult questions afiecting not only our industry, the citizens dependent upon it as workers and consumers, but the whole fabric of our national social and political structure. Ve hope the Congress and the prcss will guide our nation toward the answers-for answers there must be._ answers developed with reason and responsibilitv.


Plywood Oulput to Double
Plywood production in . the United States will more than double in the next ten years, with southern-pine plywood likely to experience the most rapid growth rate.
Total plywood production, both softwood and hardwood, is expected to increase from I5.5 billion sq. ft. in 1966 to an estimated 33.5 billion sq. ft. in 1975.

The plywood market study, carried out by the Battelle Memorial Institute, found that the production of plywood in the U.S. will increase at a faster rate than that of the overall economy.
Battelle notes that the long-term trend of declining softwood plywood prices rela. tive to softwood lumber prices has been an important factor underlying the expanded use of softwood plywood.
