THE AR'ZONA SCENE

By FRANK DAVIS SecretaryManager

HE CHANGES in the Arizona State Industrial Commission going into effect January l, 1969, give the Association an opportunity to form a Workman's Compensation Group Plan.

President Tom Fridena appointed Bob Silvey, Silvey Products Co., chairman of a committee to study possibilities of a group plan for workmen's compensation, either through a private carrier or through the state industrial commission group dividend plan.

Questionnaires were mailed recently to the membership in regard to their loss experience. It is hoped by November 15th the survey will have been completed so the committee can study the matter.

This is an opportunity every member should take advantage of since many thousands of dollars can be saved for dealers in rates and dividend returns by grouping together.

Another area where the association has been active is the Association's Employment Service. Job applicants are short of the positions open in the industry. The association is considering an advertising program to attract qualified lumber workers to Arizona.

Members from the Arizona association attending the National Lum,ber and Building Materials Dealers Association annual meeting, October 23rd to 26th in New Orleans were: Jay O'Malley and Virgil Hunt, O'Malley Companies, Phoenix; Mr. and Mrs. Jack Sullivan of Midway Lum- ber Co., Tucson I Mr. and Mrs. Larry Hamman of Hamman-McFarland Lumler Co., Phoenix; Mrs. and Mrs. Morris Turken, Thrift Building Material of Phoenix; and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Davis, executive vice president of the association in Phoenix.

Ringing Up Soles Outside

An example of the old theory that shoppers respond to an atmosphere of o'bargain" was well-proved recently by Bonanza Home Center's 15 truckload stampede.

The store, located near San Jose, Calif., doubled its weekly volume by adding 6O/o in sales outside the store 'and. another 40/o inside, Bonanza arranged the trucks wagon train style. Wholesale and manufacturer's reps, dressed as cowboys, manned the trucks while Bonanza employees manned outside checkout counters.
