I T OCEAi\ SHORES, Washington. 98 / \ men and 66 women representing all facets of lumber and building material marketing met Sept. 15 (lor details see p.45).

o Viewpoints were exchanged, recommendations were made, and perhaps above all the conference was an ideal opportunity to get acquainted and discuss with candor and understanding the problems and potentials of our industry.

o The "Outlook for the Building Industry in the Northwest Economy" as presented by Dr. H. Dewayne Kreager portrayed a picture of economic and population growth and, generally, a great deal of opportunity for most types of businesses. Dr. Kraeger's speech was exceptionally well received and, in our opinion, spelled out some facts of our economy that must be carefully evaluated in any future marketing plans. One such fact is that the hish cost of labor will undoubtedly encourage more homeowners to do their own repair or remodeling work.

Ten small discussion groups spent part o{ another duy reviewing and evaluating recommendations and conclusions of previous conferences, and the balance of the day discussing other pertinent topics.

Despite the inclement weather, 46 men and 17 women golfed, lB went fishing and 29 toured the area with Bob Bush, guide and genial host.

Fishing was in one of the stormiest bar crossings ever experienced, according to the veteran charter boat skippers; here are the award winners among the hearty fishermen: Largest Fish (34# King)Dan Ayers, Simpson Building Supply, Kirkland, Wash.; Most Fish-Phil Bowman, P. H. Bowman Co., Inc., Seattle; Smallest Fish-Nels Millspaugh, Wepco, Mountlake Terrace, Wash.

Amended Title I Regulations efiective August 1, 1968 make these changes: Maximum principal amount increased $3,500 to $5,000.

Maximum financing charge changed from $5.00 to $5.50 discount on first $2,500 and $4.00 to $4.50 discount on net proceeds in excess of $2,500.

The lending institution is now required to make an on-the-premises inspection of the work performed under the first contract presented by a dealer, plus an interview with the borrower. The same procedure is also required on one of every five contracts performed by the dealer where the net proceeds of the loan exceed $3,500.

These changes are to a great extent due to the long and continuous efiort of your national association in Washinston. D.C.
