E.J. JOHNSON exeCUtive vice president

l|lHE membership of rhe ALBSA was I saddened to learn of the passing of R. "Gus" Michaels who faithfully served this association as managing officer for 18 years prior to his retirement in 1965. Our thoughts and condolences have been extended to his family during this time of oereavement.

The housing market throughout the state has somewhat leveled off during the mid-year months. Although considerable activity continues, expectations for the rest of the year are cautiously optimistic. Population growth, as nationally predicted, continues with the best growth occurring in the job markets of Tucson and Phoenix. The so-called high technology companies continue to expand in these areas which accounts for the largest segment of new employment opportunities. Compared to other areas of the countrv. the Arizona market should not be as aifected by the "leveling off" activity ex- perienced elsewhere. Once the election year anticipations and fears are passed, we look forward to a resumption in lumber sales. at

Although this is a presidential election year, let us not overlook the importance of local, state and congressional races. Many issues of vital importance to the industry will come before those who prevail in November. No better time than now exists to prove the value of "preventative maintenance." Encourage your friends and fellow employees to vote!

The ALBSA's fall program will commence with its quarterly board of directors meeting to be held September 17, at the Poco Diablo Resort in Sedona. President John Wyss has had several committees active throughout the summer and we look forward to a productive fall.

As an early reminder, the 1985 convention will be held May l6J7J8 at the new, fabulously beautiful Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson. Convention chairman Jim Stewart promises "A time not soon forgotten!" Mark your calendars now!
