lmports' Effect On Industry

The U.S. lumber industry is virtually being liquidated by Canadian lumber imports, according to Stanley S. Dennison, retired executive vice president-building products for Georgia-Pacific Corp. and chairman of the U.S. Coalition for Fair Lumber Imports.

Timber prices have been set by the Canadian government for their producers at whatever level is necessary to sell their output in the United States, he said. These government subsidies, which U.S. lumber Producers do not have, are disruPting markets for our nation's forest industry and are not fair trade.

"In the past six years, more than 250 U.S. sawmills have closed with a loss of approximately 27,000 jobs," Dennison noted.

The U.S. Coalition for Fair Lumber lmports represents Iandowners and lumber manufacturers.

Redwood Agencies Consolidate

The California Redwood Association and the Redwood Inspection Service are consolidating as a single organization, the California Redwood Association, headquartered in Mill Valley, Ca.

The Redwood Inspection Service, with 17 member mills, will become the RIS division of CRA, responsible for quality control and grading inspection under the direction of chief inspector Paul R. Jarvela from his office in Eureka, Ca., and a governing committee of RIS representatives.

The California Redwood Association's promotion division continues to be responsible for redwood lumber advertising, literature, publicity and promotion directed by a promotion committee drawn from the five member mills of CRA.

Administration of the consolidated association will be handled by executive vice president and general manager Keith Lanning and secretarytreasurer Diane Parodi.

Simpson Mill Renovation

Simpson Timber Co. plans extensive renovation of the firm's redwood mill at Korbel to begin in November, according to Henry P. Sandstrom, v.p. and general manager of California Operations.

The $13 million project represents a major step in the realignment of Simpson's California manufacturing operations to increase productivity and respond to market demand for tight knotted redwood grades and patterns.

The reorientation of the Korbel facility ties in with the mill's earlier installation of a high speed planer in 1984. Completion of the four month project is slated to achieve increases in productivity and product line quality in processing of smaller logs. Meantime, Simpson's mill at Klamath will concentrate exclusively on processing of larger, older generation logs, maintaining present volumes of production.

"The investment is just another reinforcement of Simpson's commitment to the redwoods and the highest levels of product quality and customer service." Sandstrom added.
