OBITUARIES

ATIONAL Forest Products W'eek, which is sadly ignored by all too many who earn their living from forest products, was happily given a good honk this year by Shasta-Cascade Hoo-Hoo club 133 of Redding, Calif.

In what could well be a guide for other clubs to follow in 1968, they elected a oolumberman of the Year," had representatives appear on TV, staged a joint meeting that drew 450, got space in the local papers and presented programs for local service clubs.

Joe Derrah, president of Dee Lumber, Inc., was presented the award as "Lumberman of the Year" at a big joint meetine held with a local trade club by fellow luirb".*un Virgil Mastelotto.

Long active in Hoo-Hoo, Derrah, whose firm specializes in pre-cut timbers for building tunnels, started his firm with two employees in 1959. It now employs 45 and has a two-year contract to supply timbers to San Francisco's rapid transit project. He has been in the lumber industry since the early 1930s.

*Q is for Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y

At Bellwood Ouality Doors, Ouality is not just our middle name, it's built into our doors. Like doors with the widest stiles in the industry; the widest top and bottom rails; lumber from the West Coast's finest mills; and veneers of the first grades only. And after we build in all this quality we control it. Rigidly. (No wonder our quality control inspectors get eyestrain finding O.O1o/o defects out of a whole month's production !)

That's why when we spell "Q for Quality" at Bellwood... you can bank on it.

Stags Stage Success

A TL-RNOUT OF 50 dubbers and nearly 'if' 125 lumbermen for the post tournament banquet attests to the continuing popularity of the Humboldt Hoo-Hoo Club 63 annual Stag Day golf tourney. This year's big event was again held in Eureka with R. E. Emmerson's Sam Witzel chairing the annual outing.

The Stag is the oldest and largest clubsponsored event of its kind in the producing region of northern California, all the more reason to circle your new calendar for next year's big production.

Some very fine cards were turned in at the 19th hole, the best being Art Bravo's 78 low gross and Dave Davis's 67 low net totals. Other low net cards good for prizes included those of Don Nolan

Nolan Trucking, Dant & Russell's Hank Dreckman, Jack Ivey of Paci{ic Fir Sales, Ed Brattin of Fortuna Wood Products and Art Bravo and Herb Peterson who shared 6th place money.

In the Calloway play Joe Costa of Costa Trucking walked off with first place, CalPacific's Jim Maclnnes and Harold Hess of TW&J close on his heels in the backstretch.
