lndustry Pans Newman Films

Industry groups are on the move to battle public service announcements (PSAs) narrated by actor Paul Newman which give a distorted view of logging on national forests.

The producer, preservationist group Project Lighthawh has offered the ads to radio stations and movie theaters.

In turn, the Anerican Forest Resource Alliance warned stations that the PSAs appear to violate the Federal Regulation of Lobbying Act and advised them to either refuse to air them or give opposing views equal time. AFRA attomeys threatened to file a complaint with the FCC over "false and misleading advertising. "

The American Forest Council sent Newman a point-by-point rebuttal of his remarks and invited him to tour Simpson Redwood Co. operations.

Builders Like Recyclables

Environmentally sensitive construction products are a major concern among residential home builders according to more than 2,400 builders responding to a Dow survey on environmental issues.

Landfill costs and product recycling were cited as top issues with 32% indicating they spend between $250 and $500 on disposal costs per hone built and9%o spending more than $1000 per home.

Second Hand Lumber (Contirucdfrompage 29)

from which their wood is salvaged.

Jefferson Lumber typically purchases the wood from salvages and hauls it to its yard" where crews with metal detectors pull out the nails, the greatest factor in production costs. Two band saws then dimension the wood, mostly into timbers for home builders. Costs are roughly equivalent to what timber companies spend on green wood, but with lumber prices rising and supplies dwindling, their larger beans and timbers should become increasingly competitive.

The biggest obstacle is making demolition contractors aware of the value of lumber they normally might bulldoze into a pile and burn, chip for hog fuel or take to the landfill.

"There's enough to last as long as we want to do this," said McFadand.
