Effectiveness of the National Hardwood Lumber Association's valuable financial protection on nationally graded hardwood shipments was enhanced starting the first of this year. Coming into operation on January 1 was a new provision under the Reinspection Guarantee which will extend the financial protection to shipments of hardwood lumber in strapped bundles. What is more, the Guarantee will apply on such strapped parcels, even though at time of original inspection they are "piled down" for later shipment. Up to now, the Guarantee was void on all "piled-down" inspections made at point of origin.

This significant action was authorized by the board of managers at their meeting during the convention in Chicago this past November. Ever alert in its responsibility to keep pace with changing conditions in the industry it is designed to serve, the Association has created this new service in recognition of the practice, now become quite extensive, of shipping lumber by truck.

The new procedure is established by revision of Article VIII of the National Reinspection Regulations and Guarantee, and the pertinent provision will be found in the 1959 Rules Book. Coverage is thereby extended to National Certificates which are marked "piled down and strapped" and sl-rowing official seal numbers. provided shipmenf is made within seven days after original inspection. In the event of later complaint, a shipment carrying this type of certificate will be eligible for the reinspection privilege subject to the basic provisions in the Reinspection Regulations with the added stipulation that warp, stain and checks shall not be considered defects in making a reinspection. The usual ten-day time limit will govern the filing of applications for reinspection.

Shippers must undertake the responsibility for strapping bundles at the time of original inspection. This includes the supplying of steel strapping (at least two straps per bundle), labor, and equipment. National Inspectors have been furnished a supply of official seals, and will affix one seal to each parcel under the clip before the clip is tightened.

National Inspectors are authorized to provide this new type service only on specific request. Members who wish to avail themselves of the service are asked to insert their request in their written orders for original inspection.

Western Pine Associofion "Sources" Directory Out

A listing of some 400 Western Pine region lumber manufacturers and the products and product services they make available is contained in the 1959 directory for the \Arestern Pine Association, just published. The mill membership of the Association represents approximately 85/" of the total lumber production of the huge Western Pine Region.

The directory shows mill locations, sales offices, and such details as species, branding, kiln-drying facilities, staple products, special products, packaged paneling, and many more. Estimated capacity of each mill is also indicated.

The first full-color directory cover in the Association's history will not only provide it colorful identification, but will carry on the theme of the Western Pine industry's new full-color ionsumer advertising campaign which gets underway in 1959-the merchandising concept of selling the colorability and workability of \\restern Pine Region specles.
