Nqtionql Housing Show

Chicago became the U. S. housing capital for a week in December as the National Association of Home Builders staged its 2lst annual convention-exposition belore a record-breaking audience of more than 30,000.

New products and new ideas designed to spur new home construction, lumber's biggest single market, underscored the "Operation Teamwork" theme of the five-day meeting.

The floor space of six football fields, at Chicago's elephantine McCormick Place, was covered by exhibits constituting the largest collection of products for the home building industry ever assembled under one roof. Demonstrations and special programs presenting the latest techniques in virtually every phase of home building sought to show builders how they can improve their operations by drawing on the knowledge and experience of other NAHB members.

Heading the list of resolutions approved by NAHB directors was one endorsing administration proposals for establishment of a cabinet post for Housing and Community Developm"t l-'oprovided primary recognition is given to t}e role of privately-financed housing and proper safeguards are established to insure the continued high level of operations of the Federal Housing Administration and Federal National Mortgage Association." Other NAHB resolutions:

(l) Supported the principle of voluntary unionism in the face of an expected all-out union drive to repeal state right-to-work laws; (2) urged an expansion of apprenticeship training programs as part of the administration's anti-poverty efiort; (3) asked an end to most Defense Department construction of on-base military housing and a boost in servicemen's quarters allowances to enable more military personnel to obtain housing in the private merket; and (4) called for an increase in the mortgage ceiling on FHA-insured single-family housing for low-income families.

NAHts elected these prominent builders as its officers for 1965: president, Perry E. Willits, Miami; first vice president, Larry Blackmon, Fort Worth; vice president-treasurer, Leon N. Weiner. W'ilmington, and vice president-secretary, Lloyd Clarke, Des Moines.

Stiffen Plywood Quqlity Control

Stifier quality control requirements and modernized testing procedures have been adopted by the softwood plywood industry as part of a program aimed at eliminating all defective plywood from the marketplace.

The new policies are modifications of a 2S-year old system credited with making plywood the fastest-growing basic industry in the Federal Reserve Board index. They went into eflect Janu' ary 1, 1965.

Quality control has not kept pace with manufacturing advanceso according to an industry spokesman, and a tiny {raction of structural plywood has fallen below industry standards in recent months.

The new procedures, which include drastic penalties for manufacturers who fall below industry standards, were unanimously adopted December 3 in,a special meeting in Salem, Oregon. It was the largest gathering of its kind in the industry's history and brought together I5B policy-making executives of 92 companies, who produce more than 95 percent of this country's plywood.

NEW LOCATION: 85OO Wilshire Blvd.

Phone: 657-4660

The quality co,ntrol changes are the result of a study that began about five years ago and that already has produced new testing methods, which went into efiect in mid-1964. An industry committee created to investigate the possibility of upgrading gluelines in construction grades of plywood is scheduled to make its reeommendatior.rs early in 1965.

$1.5 Million Promotion Budget

The most vigorous and skillfully planned promotion, advertising and sales campaign in the historv o[ the western lumher industry is being launr:hed during 1965 h1' the Western \{'ood Products Association, according to Wendell ll. Barnes, executive vice president.

He reports that nearly $I.5 million will be invested by the association during the year to maintain present markets and materially increase the sale of lumber products produced in the l2-western state region represented by his organization.

In recapping 1964, Barnes termed the rnajor realignment of coastal and inland lumber mills into the Western Wood Prod- ucts Association, the industry's most sig. nificant news. He calls the new alignment one of the most vital steps ever taken on lrehalf of the western fore-st region's (.r'onomy a step thal will have [ar-rear.hing regional and national effects on the production, marketing and use of lumber for years ahead.

"We expect, and must find ways to overr,ome dilfrcult and divisive areas presented hy log exports, foreign lumber imports and inequities in transportation rates," Barnes said. "But, by and large. the overall picture o{ the new year is one of continued and substantial growth of our in. dustry based on 196,X's regional five-year peak production of 19.5 billion board feet up from l8.l billion in 1963 and more than 2.4 hillion or,er prodtr<tion I0 vears ago.

"The western lumber industry's r.(.onomic wcll-being is dependent upon pol)ulation growth and improved marketing mt:thotls." the trnde association olfir:ial explained. "A r:ontinued rise in population will put a --steady strain on much of the nation's already obsolete family housins and an increased building program in both single and multi-family units is a foregone conclusion just to keep pace with growth.
