Governmenf Reporf on Industry Problems Draws Praise of NLMA

The National Lumber Manufacturers Association has conveyed to Commerce Secretary Luther Hodges the industry's "sincere appreciation" for the efforts of Commerce officials to find solutions to the several problems presently confronting lumbermen.

The expression of thanks was contained in a letter from NLMA Executive Vice President Mortimer B. Doyle, commenting on a recent l80O-word ooStatement on the Lumber Problem," prepared by the Business and Defense Services Administration, an agency under Hodges' jurisdiction.

Doyle applauded the BDSA statement as "an extremely well-prepared summary of many of the problems confronting our industry." Even more important, he said, it "sets out in very readable form the very specific actions taken by this Administration to assist domestic lumber producers to overcome these problems." The association spokesman added:

"Much remains to be done in order to restore full health and vigor to our industry, but it is appropriate, particularly at this time of year, to tender our sincere appreciation for the efforts on the part of many men in your Department to help find solutions to our problems that are in the public interest."

Doyle singled out for special praise BDSA Administrator Daniel L. Goldv; Thomas C. Mason. director of the Forest Products Division of BDSA; and Assistant Secretary of Commerce for International Afrairs Jack N. Behrman.

Elforts to lrnprooe UnlaoorobleConditions

Doyle also wrote to Goldy advising him that the lumber association plans to give "wide circulation" to BDSA's "well-bal. anced, concise statement of the situation."

The BDSA report attributed present difficulties of the lumber industry to "a complex of factors related to industry operations, governmental policies and regulations, technological changes, and domestic and international economic developments."

A major factor, the agency said, has been "the substantial increase in softwood lumber imports resulting from the competitive advantages of Canadian producers in raw materials, production and shipping costs and the devaluation of Canadian currency."

After identifying specific causes of the industry's difliculties, the report reviewed st€ps taken by the Administration to ease the situation.

President Kennedy, the statement noted, has asked the Tarifi Commission to expedite its current investigation of whether imports have caused serious injury, or threaten to cause serious injury, to domestic producers. If the Tarifi Commission finds in favor of U. S. manufacturers, the President could restrict imports by increasing the duty, establishing a quota or developing "orderly marketing agreements" with supplying countries, the report observed.

While awaiting the Tarifi Commission findings, BDSA reported, Mr. Kennedy has asked the Justice Department to advise him whether" in the current lumber

import controversy, he could legally invoke a law (Section 22 oI the Agricultural Marketing Act of f937) which, under certain conditions, empowers the Chief Executive to curb imports of agricultural commodities.

The report also recalls that last July the President announced a six-point program intended to assist the domestic lumber industry. In this connection BDSA reported the following developments:

o The U. S. and Canada are establishing "an ad hoc joint expert working group of government officials" to examine such issues as the recent West Coast timber blowdown, long-term supply and demand prospects for North American timber resources, wood utilization and market development.

o The Administration asked Congress for additional funds for forest development roads and trails, to speed harvesting of National Forest timber-and the lawmakers responded by authorizing "substantial increases" for fiscal 1963.1964. and 1965.

o The Interior Department increased by 150 million board feet the allowable cut oI timber on lands managed by Interior. Similarly, the Agriculture Deparhent increased by 547 million board feet the allowable cut in the 42 National Forests in the West Coast and Inland Empire states where timber demand is critical.

ROCKPORT BEVEL SIDING IS FACTORY SEAIED

The advantages of this protective treatment are widely recognized, since moisture is the greatest single cause of problems with wood sidings. Now EVERY piece of Rockport Redwood Bevel Siding is factory-sealed with \TOODTOX water-repellent and at no extra cost. This provides the established quality lumber dealer with an important exrra advantage. He can now offer his customer a premium Redwood product at competitive prices.

Promotion ls Streamlined with DFPA Reorganization

All promotional activities except field services have been brought together in one o{ five new divisions created in a reorganization of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association.

The stafi reorganization is designed to "improve coordination of all activities and provide for maximum utilization of personnel and facilities," according to Executive Vice President James R. Turnbull. The changes were based on a study conducted by George W. Fortis and Associates, a New York management consulting firm.

John D. Ritchie, former DFPA advertising director, was named director of the Public Information Services division and assumes overall responsibility for advertising, sales promotion, public relations and technical writing. He also becomes chairman of the association's new Operations committee, charged with setting promotional policy under Turnbull and the board of tlustees, and with planning, coordination and control of all programs undertaken on behalf of DFPA's 130 member mills.

The other new division directors are Hugo A. Peterson, Financial and Adminis-

trative Services division; John M. Hess, Technical Services division; Stanley A. Taylor, Field Services division, and Arthur H. Jones, Market Research and Economic Services division.

Turnbull also announced the appointment of Bronson J. Lewis as assistant to Harrison Clark, DFPA secretary, and of Harold Wright, who recently joined the association from the firm of Touche, Ross, Bailey and Smart, as assistant director of the Financial and Administrative Services division. W. T. Robison, regional field manager at Atlanta, was appointed assistant director of Field Services. Paul D. Colbenson will move up to replace Robison.

NEW DEPART'IIENTS

The functions of the division Ritchie heads have been broken down into new departments with specific assignments. Donold A. Jaenicke has been appointed manager, advertising and sales promotion; George C. Cheek is manager, public relations; Duane G. McQuilkin, manager, publications production, and Joseph L. Leitzinger, manager, technical writing and editins.

The association, biggest in its field, has more than tripled the scope of its activities since 1952, Turnbull said, and the realignment was necessary to get the most in efficiency and bconomy from DFPA's oper. ations.

Peterson, DFPA treasurer, will act as chairman of a second new staff committee, which will direct financial planning, ad' ministration and control systems.

OTHER CHANGES MADE

Some changes in responsibility were made within other divisionq in addition to those in Public Information Services.

David R. Countryman was named manager, research and engineering; Robert H. Ripley, manager, quality control, and Arthur E. Larsen, manager, Quality super' vision, all in the Technical Services divi' sion.

In the Field Services division, W. L. Griebeler was appointed manager, agricul' tural field services, and Douglas D. Walker, manager, Industrial fi eld services.

E. W. Hilton was designated manager' traffic department, within the Financial and Administrative Services division.

HPf to Hold 22nd Annual Spring Meeting

Jack Ramsey, Hardwood Plywood Institute's Convention Chairman, has announced the following program for hardwood plywood manufacturers on March t3-15" 1963" at the Royal Orleans Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana:

Manufacturers will gather in Pensacola, Florida, on Wednesday, March 13 for a tour of Southern Corporation's new plant l8 miles north of Pensacola in Escambia County. Many new production techniques and ideas have been incorporated into the new plant, which will begin production the latter part of January.

Chartered buses will take the manu{acturers to Pascagoula, Mississippi, for a tour of Pascagoula Veneer Company. Plant inspection tours have been combined in the past with annual and regional meetings, and have taken "friendly competitors" into practically all of the hardwood ply. wood plants east of the Rockies. Mr. Ramsey stated that these tours have resulted in higher standards for the production of HPl-stamped hardwood plywood.

After the tour of Pascagoula Veneer

Company, the buses will proceed to the Royal Orleans Hotel for an Early Bird reception.

Thursday morning, March 14th, Jim Burrell, editor of Plywood Magazine will moderate a panel discussion on product development and necessary merchandising of hardwood veneer and plywood. The panelists will include a veneer manufacturer, a plywood manufacturer, a machinery manufacturer, and a management consultant.

Ladies in attendance will ioin the men for lunch, where an outstanding speaker will address the group. Thursday afternoon, buses will take the manufacturers to tour Higgins Industries, Inc., laminated block flooring plant, and Ipik Plywood Company's flush door plant. The President's reception will be held Thursday night.

On Friday the 15th, the annual HPI membership meeting will be held. Reports will be made by Mark Warren, Chairman of the Audit Committee; John Prince, who will present the 1963 Budget; Bob Weber,

who will make nominations for Officers and Directors, and Clark McDonald, who will review HPI's activities. This meeting will adjourn after lunch.

President French McKnight has cordially invited all hardwood, plywood and veneer manufacturers in the United States and Canada to attend the meetins.

Economic Council Debatcs Problems ol Lumber Ind'ustry

IU[EETING January 9, 10 and lI at the rvr 9o1"1 Riviera in Palm Springs, California, members of the Economic Council of the Lumber Industry gave intensive consideration to long-range problems and prospects facing the industry.

Though our page heading may seem to be an over-simplification of the prooeedings of this top echelon group, actually it pretty well covers the three main avenues which the discussions followed.

Naturally, the Economic Council was at all times concerned with the oosticks" end of their business-from timber lands to on-site product use.

"Stones"? It gave a frank look at its public image, at what stones may have been thrown at it in the past or are likely - to be lrefted in the future, and what can be done to improve it.

"Substitutes." Interwoven in all discussions was the problem of retaining lumber's markets in face of stifi competition from concrete, steelo aluminum, plastics and other construction materials.

KEY EXECUTIVES PRESENT

Participating were 35 members of the Council, all key executives of four organizations covering the entire range of the American lumber industry-National Lumber Manufacturers Association, National Lumber and Building Materials Association, National-American Wholesale Lumber Associatio! and the National Association of Lumber Salesmen, Inc.

In addition, 17 guests, including repre-

sentatives of regional asociations and the trade press, took part in the deliberations.

J. B. Edens, president of Southwest Forest Industries, Phoenix, Arizona, served as chairman of the Council and. backstopped by NLMA Executive Vice President Mortimer B. Doyle and stafi, did an outstanding job of keeping the discussions to the point and moving at a swift pace.

Generally, during the two-day meet, the working format followed was for members, after meeting in general session, to be divided into four or five groups for consideration of a specific subject. Following their group meetings the respective chairmen report€d back at general session the majority opinions or analyses arrived at. Comments and discussion were then in. vited from the floor.

As the proceedings of these meetings were ofi-the-record, let us emphasize that the following reporting of the activities is strictly our summation and reflect no official positions of the groups involved.

After a 7:30 A.M. breakfast and briefing Thursday morning, members held their first open session at 9:00 A.M. and immediately dug into a big subject, ooHow can the forest products industry meet the increasing pressures for public use of forest land and pressures for government partici. pation in private forestland management?"

In general summary it was acknowledged that it was in the best interests of the industry to develop a program meeting the r,equirements of both land owners and the public for increased use of private and public forest land for recreation and other

multiple uses, but specifying that true economicvalues of those uses berecognized.

Ccprule refieclions qnd commanls: lhese prob' lernr cqn'l be solved quickly humon righis ore fodcy in vogue, ond qr€ 3tronger thon prop. perry righrs the indushy murt odopl o progrom for the multiple use qnd purpose of londs . the industry cqn besf schieve its own foir ond reosonoble gools if it wins the support of lhe olher moior recreotionol, wslershed ond wildlife groups but this will require sn intensive ond stepped-op progtom of publiciry ond public relclions . . ir will be in the besl inlerest lo become ollied with olher lqnd owners lformers, coltlemen, etc,l in o progrom lo inform thc pubtic of lhe righfs. the problems ond lhe cosls of lqnd ownership lhe educolion of lhe public in fhese oreos must be strenglhened.

Generally, it seemed to us that the in' dustry acknowledged that, in the absence of a timbei famine as an emotional stimulus to encourage further government control programs over forest lands, the needs of the water, wildlife, scenery and recreation groups would gain increasing prominence and attention. It further acknowledged that the accompanying problems must be met head-on with a positive program by the industry, so that the industry can help guide any eventual government-sponsored program,

There was considerable discussion, without any conclusion, on the subject of land owners charging fees for recreational use of their lands. It was properly recognized that just compensation should be received, yet equally recognized that the public' generally accustom,ed to using national parks and other recreational lands for free, might well object.

MUITIPTE UsE OF IAND'

It seemed to be agreed that the lumber industry will have to adapt to the principle of the multiple use and purpose of lands; that it can adapt to it by treating it as a lorest prod,ucls problem in concert with other allied groups; that the industry, instead of being on the defensive, can stand on its own merits, experience and ability, to participate in the development of an equitable program; and that a sound pubIic relations and education presentation is called for. No specific steps or plans were agreed upon, nor was it the purpose of the Council to arrive at such; however, the fact that the Council was willing to so frankly acknowledge the problems and (Continueil on Page 12)

California Sugar & Western Pine Agency made arrangements with Boise-Cascade Corporation approximately one year ago, and more recently with Woodlam, Inc., to distribute their Glue Laminated Beams & Arches to the retail lumber dealers in Northern California. Both firms are active members of the American Institute of TimLrer Construction, and both are qualified participants of the AITC Quality Control Program.

Initially, when California Sugar & Western Pine began distribution of Glu Lam beams last year, the company found that a large percentage of lumber dealers were

A second major topic for consideration asked, "What is the most significant general improvement which can be made in our lumber products in the next l0 years to enhance our competitive position with otlrcr construction materials?"

It was recognized that in keeping and extending its markets, the lumber industry faces a two-fold problem: l. Competing with concrete. steel, aluminum and other construction materials; and,, 2, Overcoming adverse consumer reaction created by the substantial volume of poor quality lumber which accounts for an appreciable portion of the total lumber market each year.

"We have various color samples prepared," Mr. Toroya stated, 'oincluding Driftwood, Palomino, Antique Birch and all natural wood finishes."

Custom selections will be quoted upon request.

It was ofiered that the lumber industry must re-orient its thinking, that it must look ol the market frsl,' manufacturers need mor'e information as to the merchandiser's use of his products-they arc trying to serve all dealers the same way, yet dealers are divided into numerous categories of operations and service. Retailers themselves don't have enough infor'mation for selling lumber. Typical sales pitch: "It's a certain size at a certain price."

There was considerable discussion concerning the necessity for additional research into the development and use of wood products, but ne particular agreement as to who should do the research: whether by individual companies, through Associa-

tion effort, by the U.S. Forest Products Research Laboratory or through government subsidized programs. The F.P. Research Lab was singled out, however, as the most likely facility.

It was generally agreed that product improvement and acceptance can greatly come by meeting end-use requirements at lower in-place costs. The subject of developing engineered systems for better and more €conomical installation at building site was stressed again and again, plus the necessity for better packaging of products.

Third major topic for discussion con. cerned improvement oI marketing methods and activities toward acquiring a greater shar.e of existing markets and developing new ones. Generally, though it was acknowledged that big improvement is needed in this area, there was little agreement as to how this should be brought about.

Dr. George Cline Smith Profects 1975 Lumber Use Before Economic Council

Dr. George Cline Smith, senior partner of McKay-Shields, New York, and a noted economist in the construction field, told the Economic Council of the Lumber Industry meeting January I0 at Palm Springs, California, that a maximum potential lumber market oI 64.6 billion board feet could develop in 1975 based on current use rates and his total construction projection of $100 billion for 1975.

The preliminary estimates for 1962 indicate a total lumber consumption in the U.S. of 36.6 billion board feet. Dr. Smith said the 64.6 billion board feet was an o'outside" figure, unlikely to be achieved, but stated that it did show the size of the potential market for which lumber would be competing.

Retained by NLMA as an economic advisor to the lumber industry, Dr. Smith provided the Economic Council with a thorough analysis of population projections through 1975 and related this growth to the lumber economy.

Taking into account the gradual decline in per capita consumption of lumber over the past several decades, he nevertheless predicted a potential national consumption of 40 billion board feet in 1967 even if per

capita consumption declined to as little as I70 board feet.

Analyzing the population growth of the nation to a gain of 47 million above present levels, he indicated that housing requirements would then provide a residential market of $32 billion. If the 1960 ratio of apartment starts to single-family units held at the same level in 1975, Dr. Smith said that lumber's share would total 20.2 billion board feet. If, however, apartments totaled 3O/o of the residential market bv that time. as he expects, lumber in residential construction would total a billion feet less.

HIGH I.EVET OF STAGNATTON

Dr. Smith opened his remarls before.the lumbermen by declaring that the 1963 short-range outlook was confusing since the economy is currently at "a high level of stagnation" and it is difficult to predict what will make it move.

'olf we go on at the present pace and don't get new life into the economy"" he warned, "we may slide off."

Commenting on the short-range horizon, he indicated that the possibility of a tax cut may be the force to make the economy begin a gradual rise. He anticipated that a

tax cut may be forthcoming by late summer but that it will be smaller than hoped and will offer little economic impetus this year.

Turning to construction projections he predicted tlat. private residential, construction would be off slightly in 1963 with public construction up and school construction Ieveling ofi so that the 1963 totals in construction would be about the same as in t962.

r963 CONSIRUCTION SucHnY OFF

Pinpointing the overall construction industry figure for 1963 as l/o ofr rhe 1962 pace, he specified the following changes in the coming year: Residential, down 3.2Vo; Non-residential, down 3.SVo; Industrial, down 3.6/o; Commercial, down 4/o; and Other, down,2.9/e.

Emphasizing that the construction industry had apparently set a new record every year since 1947, except for 1960, he pointed out that a conversion of construction statistics in the transfer of data collection and reporting from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to the Census Bureau accounted for much of the apparent sustained rise in the past 5 years.

"The Census Bureau, when it agsumed this responsibility, considered that BLS had missed about 150,000 units and added them in 1959," he said. ooThis accounted for the apparent jump in 1959, but, if this statistical change were taken out, it would be clear that the construction industry had remained level since 1955 in real terms" although the dollar figures rose because of inflated costs."

'ooTis a mad world, my masters." Thus wrote Bill Shakespeare, long ago. But, if Al Jolson had read it even then, he would have said: "You ain't seen nothin' vet."

Wonder what the Bard of Avon would have said could he have looked ahead to the present time?

I doubt if Shakespeare would have believed it. Think of it. A rough Russian peasant holds the civilized world by the throat, and it shakes with fear. The Red Menace.

This character doesn't believe in God. Can't help wondering what God thinks of him.

And back of the Red Menace is still another deep threat to the future peace of the world. This is the Yellow Peril, which many thinking men consider is an even greater threat than the Red. The Yellow Peril is six hundred million creatures who know no Godand don't care.

Of course, the Red Threat is the more imminent. Long ago a man of prophetic vision uttered some words that had been quoted millions of times, when he said that wherever on the ramparts of E-.I*pu a sentry eries, ttWho goes there?", the answer is always ttRugsia."

And the only change that has taken place sinoe is that today it can be just as truthfully said that wherever on the ramparts of

Long ago, an Asiatic named Ghengis Khan leading swarms of horsemen carried yellow warriors into Europe, and seemed about to take it over. Death suddenly claimed him; and his hordes of men turned their horses and went back to Asia.

And Winston Churchill remarked several years ago that ..They never returned, until now." But the great Khan irever ofiered such a threat to world peace as the Red tr["rr"." does today,

Some humorist remarked one time that the reason God puts fleas on_a dog is to keep him from worrying about being a dog. Nevertheless, that doesn't answer the question, why did God cieate the Communist monster?

The best laugh that has come to this column lately was one Bob Hope pulled in explaining our space efforts. He said that for all we lcnown there may be millions of people on the moon who don't brush their t€eth after every meal.

Which, if you will pardbn me saying so, is probably as logical a reason as any we have heard for trying to reach t}te moon. The Book of Genesis in the Bible says that the moon was made to furnish us light by night. Those old Biblical writers were a bit short on their knowledge of astronomy.

Things were happier in the days when the moon was made to write songs about, for lovers to spoon under, or just to have certain efiects upon the ocean tides. It didn't cost billions for such purpos€s.

In the words of a great American-"If this be treasono rr,ake the most of it."

South Dokolq Equolizes Insurqnce Rotes on Rooftng Moteriols

Removal of fire insurance differentials against wood-roofed dwellings in South Dakota brings to 28 the number of states which have achieved similar rate equalization, according to the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, Seattle.

Spokesmen for the Bureau, which represents the red cedar shingle and shake industry, expressed great satisfaction in the South Dakota action, which took effect January 2, 1963.

'oWe have worked patiently to achieve rate equality,', states C. G. Watson, president of the Bureau, ooand the real story rests in the over-all safety characteristics of our wood shingle product.

"We feel that insurance rates should reflect not only fire performance of roofing materials, but their ability to resist wind and hail storms as well. The action in South Dakota undoubtedlv is a direct result of this over-all product performance."

The new South Dakota ruling follows by six months similar action in the state of Oklahoma.

Other states now having equal insurance rates f<jr all types of roofing are, alphabetically. Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregono Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin and Washington.

Exfro Width Boords, Giont logs Are Feqture of Atlqs Lumber Buying Trip

Atlas Lumber Co. president Carl Porter and general nranager N{ac Mclemore took advantage of a business trip to the deep South to get some unusually wide and fine lumber from areas nor generally logged.

Visiting the Jonesville, Louisiana site of the Mississippi Valley Hardwood Sales Co. mills. they found that extremelv drv seasons had opened new areas of the deep swamp near the -itt. Ii was the first time the areas had been logged in many years.

The resulting southern hardwood species are of a quality and quantity of higher standards than recently seen.

The spectacular log pictured produced 1086 board feet with some of the planks 34" to 37" in width. These selected pieces of tremendous width are set aside at the Atlas yard at 2170 East l4th St., Los Angeles. Carl Porter said that anyone who woultl like to see them is cordially invited to visit the yard.

After inspection of the logs it was agreed to manufacture the fine ash logs in 4/4 stack with 75,000 of the selected veneer type logs to be cut to 5/4,6/4 andB/4 and then shipped to Memphis, Tenn. for drying and millwork. The logs were then sent to Atlas in Los Angeles.

Prior to this Porter and Mclemore had visited various dr-v* kilns and met with the producers in the area for whom Atlas purchase lumber and millwork items.

The trip continued on to Natchez, Miss. and then to Farriday and Alexandria, Louisiana for visits with other producers,

Carl Porter and Mac Mclemore wound up in New Orleans to try some of the world-famous Southern cooking. "Right up to snufi," said Porter. "but none of it could touch the catfish at Jonesville, Louisiana."

Wholesqle Forest Products Division Receives Huge Borge Shipment

A huge, ocean going barge, 220 feet long and 55 feet at the beam, arrived last month at the Wilmington, California dock of the Wholesale Forest Products Division of U.S. Plywood.

It carried 2.2 million board feet of lumber (equivalent to 70 railroad boxcars) which had been loaded at the Mapleton, Oregon dock of the U.S. Plywood mill.

Los Angeles manager of the Division Carl Poynor reports that the shipment was made up of production from the Mapleton

mill of U.S. Plywood and the nearby mills of Erskine Lumber Co. and Mt. Canary Lumber.

The barge, owned by Sause Brothers oI Coos Bay, is believed to be one of the largest vessels ever to travel up the Siuslaw River.

Only rivals to the sea-borne behemoth were the flat bottomed lumber schooners that plyed the river until the early 1920's. They were put out of action by the railroad.

The barge displaces 3,300 tons and can

Rust ond Corrosion Prevenlqtive Being Mode By Former Lumbermqn

A chemical compound that prevents rust and corrosion on all metals, lubricates, penetrates and displaces moisture, i" being manufactured by former lumbermal, C. E. "Cy" Irvingo president of Rocket Chemical Company in San Diego.

The product is WD-40, which has seen such varied service as orbiting the earth as a protective coating on the Atlas missile of Iohn Glenn, to protecting millions of dollars of machinery threatened by Hurricane Carla on the Gulf Coast,to such everyday uses as protecting tools, guns, household and electrical appliances at home or in your car, or both.

WD-40 is specified for corrosion protection of the Atlas missile by its manufacturer, General Dynamics/Astronautics. It prevents rust; displaces moisture, lubricates precision p'arts, prevents electrolysis, will not congeal and is a non-conductor.

Rocket Chemical Company rushed an l8 ton shipment of the rust preventative to Houston and Galveston, Texas jobbers after Hurricane Carla. Three truck drivers took

turns at the wheel to hurry the shipment to the Gulf Coast cities.

It is credited by businessmen there with saving untold millions of dollars of machinery from salt water damage as a result of the coast-battering storm.

Cy Irving said that in addition to being sold nationally WD-40 is being marketed in l5 European countries and in the British

be loaded at a rate of 100,000 board feet per hour, according to Jack Robertson, area manager for Sause Brothers. The hull design,. worked out by the Michigan Institute of Technology, adds up to a knot and a half of speed to the vessel over the conventional barge.

Another unusual feature, according to Robertson, is that everything is loaded above deck. The barge has no hold.

One 1,200 horsepower tug is needed to tow the carrier fully loaded.

The barge was moored at a new dock constructed by U.S. Plywood. Fork lifts brought the lumber to the dock in relays where a giant crane hoisted it onto the carrier's deck.

Isles by Sun Electric Company of Chicago under franchise from Rocket Chemical Company. It is made in San Diego then shipped in concentrate to London v,here it is repackaged for the overseas market.

Founded seven years ago, the c(impany also manufactures the product in Mexico City for the Mexican and South American trade. Other branches include Sydney, Australia, and Valparaiso, Chile.

It is widely distributed on the Pacific Coast to retail dealers through hardware, marine and sporting goods jobbers. Pacific Coast distributors are: Joseph F. Taraba Company, 1016 First Avenue South, Seat. tle, Washington; Joseph F. Taraba Company, 1824 S.

Mechqnicol6rce

One of the most forward thinking pieces of research activity has just been made known to the industry by the Lumber Dealers Research C.ouncil.

The method of fabricating, hauling, and site inetallation of mechanical core units is the subject of a research report prepared by James T. lendrum, A.I.A., Head of the Deparhnent of Architecture, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, who also did the research work for the Lumber Dealere Research Council. This report was published by Georgia-Pacific Corporation as the co-sponsor.

At the local leveln mechanical core units from the single bathroom variety to units tlat contain two baths, hotwater tank, furnace, complete kitchen cabinetso and closets can be fabricated and fully finished in the retail yard for delivery to the site by truck.

In pointing outl the advantages of fabricating mechanical core units at the local levelo Ray Harrell, Executive Vice President of L.D.R.C., covered these following points at the first public discussion of the project last month:

1. This report acts as a vehicle for the retail lumber dealer and the plumbing, heating, and wiring contractors to work closer together in controlling of cost.

2. Shop fabricating eliminates much travel and unproductive time at the site by the plumber.

3. Scheduling of the plumber immediately after the house is under cover is eliminated. On many units, site work for the plumber will consigt of connccting drain and supply lines within the floor joist space and extending the vents through the roof line.

4. Many for-sale items such as ceramic tilg medicine cabinets, bath accessories, etc. Iost by dealers to others can be recaptured.

5. The quality of the construction is improved while the cost of the finished unit is reduced.

6. The over-all construction time of the house can be reduced by at least one week for the builder customer thus reducing construction loan cost and the overhead charges normally associated with the construction period.

7. By fabricating at the local level and working with the local plumber, dealers can comply with all of the local code requirements and be inspected for plumbing and wiring compliance.

8. Four out of five house designs lend themselves, without dimension changes, to some mechanical core construction and this parE of the house should be thought of as the most expensive part that'lreguires the greater number of difierent trades to schedule and corihpleto,

9. Units can be moved and loaded in the yard bv the dealers normal mechanical handling equipment. A crane sized to the weight of the unit seems to be best for site work and can be set in fifteen minutes.

To act as guide for the retail lumberman, the Council has made available for $25 four complete sets of working drawings showing four difierent core designs ranging in size irom 9,I1" x 24, down to 7'2" x 9'8". Inquiries should be directed to L.D.R.C., Suite 316 Ring Building, 18th & M Streets, N.W., Washington 6, D.C.

There have been some notable attempts at solving this dilemma, but until now little success has been achieved. We say until now because the recent purchase of Fountain Lam-Loc Lumber Trees by Northridge Lurnber Co. looks like both a good and economical solution to this long-standing enigma.

The trees are designed so that any variety

of items are easily stored in their own bay. Longs, shorts, special species all have an orderly location that can be reached with a lift truck, and without moving any other loads. The bays are adjustable so either eight or ten modules can be made available to fit a particular condition. The trees are designed with a large safety factor which means that every inch of space can be utilized. According to Leon Gillespie, President of Northridge Lumber Co., "The Lam-Loc Lumber Trees cut our hunting and handling time in half on these orders, and I feel our inventory is under much bettef control. The unusual items move faster because they are manageable and out where we can see them, The trees have been so successful for us that we have already ordered additional units from Fountain."

YARD 'IIORE REXIBIE

Another advantage of Lam-Loc Lumber Trees is the increased yard flexibility. They are simple to move as storage problems change. No foundations are required. The usual lift truck available in every yard permits relocation in minutes. An interesting side advantage of these trees is to show the strength of laminated timbers. Fully loaded, they become an excellent example

Woiting Room on Wheels Ends Airport Wqlkqthon

The foot-fracturing walkathon from ticket counter to aircraft that has plagued passengers at the nation's big air terminals for years, has been abolished at the new Dulles International Airport in Washington, D. C. by the introduction of the mobile lounge.

Twenty of these "waiting rooms on wheels"-the largest automotive land vehicles ever built-taxi passengers the half mile from the terminal to the parked planes in club-car comfort, sheltered from weather and the noise and fumes of the jetport.

Each of these quarter-million-dollar step-savers is capable of transporting 90 passengers at a clip. At that, it takes two lounges or two trips to fill the bigger jets now plying the international airways. And by 1975 when additional gates at Dulles International will have been constructed and some aircraft will be parked as far as three miles from the terminal building, this number of mobile lounges may have to be doubled.

It is anticipated that nine million passengers will pass through Dulles International by that date and the present 24 mobile lounge positions will be increased to 56.

THE XIA]NTENANCE FACIOR

Maintenance and maneuverability were prime factors in construction of the mobile lounge-creation of the late Eero Saarinen who considered his architectural design for Dulles International "the best thing I have done."

To hold down the weight factor in the lounge, which weigh approximately 76,000 pounds each, dicorative plastics were used fof most of the interior shell of each lounge. Vinyl-covered metal panels house the air-conditioning ducts that ring the perimeter of the ceiling. And white Micarta panels were us€d in the fabrication of the bulkheads and swinging doors at each end of the lounges.

An additional advantage of this material lies in the fact that Micarta, used extehsively in interiors of airplanes, ships and railroad cars, is a permanently colored laminate that resists abrasion and other hard wear, cleans easily and never needs painting.

U.S. Plywood, exclusive distributor of Micarta, not only supplied most of the material for the interior shell of the mobile lounge, but the company's specialists in maintenance-free interiors for the transportation industry, also furnished design and application criteria for use of their products. Specially treated, heavy-duty plywood was used for flooring, while ceilings were fabricated with Duraply, a resin-fiber faced plywood to which the decorative vinyl was laminated.

The interior color scheme of the lounges is white, charcoal and dark red-keyed to the decor of the new terminal building.

MOST FIEXIBLE SOTUTION

The Federal Aviation Agency agreed with Saarinen that the mobile lounge appeared the most flexible solution to the growing problem of airport mobility and the ever-growing distances thai passengers are required to walk between most terminal buildings and their aircraft.

Th.e average walk from ticket counter to plane has lengthened at airports throughout the country to a quarter of a mile. This average climbs to half a mile for the passenger who must change planes at any given airport.

Saarinen designed one end of the mobile lounge to seal to the terminal building until passengers are aboard; the other end to mate with the aircraft at door level by means of a unique tele- scoping ramp device that adjusts up, down and sideways to accommodate all jet passenger craft in use today or in the foreseeable future.

F.A.A. officials, who envisioned Dulles International as the world's first jetport designed from the outset to meet the needs of the jet age, estimate that the $5 million cost of the 20 lounges now in service will be defrayed by savings in taxiing that would otherwisc be necessary in guiding jets from terminal to service apron and takeoff runways.

Today's jetliners are the most expensive form of transportation ever, they point out. Taxiing on the ground or idling its engines, a jet burns up $50 or more in fuel per minuts-3n expense that runs into hundreds if not thousands of dollars per taxiing trip at some. airports.

"Loading bridges" were installed several years ago in order to solve the passenger walkathon at Idlewild, O'Hare and Los Angeles International airports. These bridges sheltered passengers while they were boarding their planes, but passengers stiU had to negotiate long distances on foot through the corridors of,.finger" system terminal buildings. And the problem of costly, intricate taxiing of jetliners from landing strip to terminal loading gates remained unsolved.

Drive power for the air-conditioned. radio-controlled mobile lounges at Dulles is supplied by twin l?2-horsepower engines located at each end of the vehicle so that it may Ee driven from either end without being turned around. Prime contractor for the huge mobile lounges, each equivalent in size to eight intercity buses stacked four-on-four, was Chrysler Corporation. The Budd Company, Philadelphia, leading builders of automobile bodies and railway cars, built the bodies under subcontract to Chrysler.

The Pacific Lumber Company Completes New Glulam Shipping Structure to Handle Mixed-Car Shipments

To meet demand for its special mixed-car service on redwood, fir and fir plywood, The Pacific Lumber Company has completed a modern 65,100 sq. ft. all-wood shipping structure, at its Scotia, California mill. The building assures completely covered storage and loading area required for the complex job o{ assembly and handling, prior to mixed'car loading.

Among ihe features of the building are the extensive use of wood construction, the giant glue laminated columns, and a high' speed 100-foot overhead crane. The main building is 105' wide by 62A long and 47' high to the lower chord of the I05' clear span trusses. Along the side of this main building is a 32' wide lean-to, 500'long and24'in clear height.

items. Nearly 90,000 sq. it. of half-inch CD Exterior Plyscord was used for the roof deck. The wall sheathing consisted of 43,000 sq. ft. of half-inch medium tensity overlaid plywood, installed horizontally with a horizontal lap joint and with all vertical jointsfilled with Hypalon mastic. Approximately 2z[5,000 board feet of glulam was required to fabricate the over 200 members comprising beams. columns. and truss lower chords used in the structure'

The Pacific Lumber Company's basic specification was that the building should be of wood. After the overall dimensions and

and requirements were laid down by the owners, the specific design was worked out by Tim'Con, Inc' in consultation with Mr. Willi"tn Van Beckum, Vice-President in charge of Research and Development, and Mr' John Martin, Development Ensineer of The Pacific Lumber Company. Glulam was used for beirns, columns and other heavily stressed members because long experience with this material proved its greater strength, utility und ""ono-y in structural design. The glulam crane rail beams proved to be lower in cost than any other comparable structural material. For all their economy, these beams and columns provide greater strength to weight ratio, dimensional stability qd fire salety than other materials. The glulam members were fabricated to exact detail in the plant of Fluor Products Company of Santa Rosa, while the solid sawn heavy timber material for the trusses was {abricated at the Tim-Com plant at Richmond, California.

With the major elements pre{abricated at plants especially equipped for such work and with field fabrication of modular pu.r"l. io. installation on walls and roof decks, the result was u.,usual speed o{ erection and excellent economy. The entire job, including foundations was completed in approximately five months'

Beside the normal live and dead loads including earthquake loadings, the structure was designed to resist both the lateral and longitudinal forces resulting from the operation of a 100' span brilge crane which imposed a total load of 50,000 pounds' The glue-laminated columns and the lean-to bents of the same rnaterial were designed to resist these {orces.

Approximately 220,000 board feet of solid sawn lumber was t."d itt the walis, roof framing, trusses and other miscellaneous

..AWARD CONTRACTS ON BASIS OF AAER]T AND QUA[ITY,'' SAYS

FRANK W. DATUISO

The California Lumber Merchant

Attention Don Dick

Managing Editor

Dear Mr. Dick:

In regard to Mr. W. L. Johnston's "What's Happened to Woodworking" (Jan. C.L.M.,p.24) | find that while I agrge with him in regard to buying from California manufacturers and having local firms install the work, I do not feel that it is in the best interests of all concerned to strictly specify one particular association code over all others.

The point to be remembered here is that we in this state want the taxsupported institutions buying from instate concerns.

The schools and colleges of our state should be able to award contracts on the basis of merit and quality, rather than have them tied to a single code of specifications.

The important question of local manufacture deserves another mention in addition to what was said in Mr. Johnston's fine letter.

It should be remembered that when the state lets a bid to an out-of-state company it deprives the qualified and reputable manufacturers of California the chance to do the work with the result that no workers are hired and no taxes are paid back to the state.

I feel that it is evident that even though an outside company may make the lowest bid on a particular job' the state cost will still be higher in the Iong run. The loss of employment and no return of taxes are only two reasons.

The small woodwolking shops try- ing to compete against the lower wage rates of other states will suffer and some will have to close,

The end result is foreseeable. The number of bidders on each job will drop and the inevitable result will be higher and higher bids on jobs let by the remaining companies that still survive.

Again let me mention that the point for us to remember in striving for increased manufacture and installation by California firms in state jobs is that we must bring the business back within the state.

Awards of contracts should be made on the basis of merit and level of quality and the incontrovertible fact that the State and the people it represents benefit when a firm of that state is awarded the contract.

Sincerely,

Frank W. Daluiso Executive Secretary, Southern California Association of Cabinet Manufactuers. 9120 S. Western Avenue Los Angeles 41 , Calif.

More Wood Reseqrch Promised

Stepped up wood product and marketing research was forecast by Chief of the Forest Service Edward P. Clitr in a speech December 12 at Seattle, Wash., the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported.

At the 53rd Western Forestry Conference, Chief Clifi said that because of the inroads made by competing products, more fundamental research on wood was needed, ooparticularly in wood chemistry and more diversified and improved solid wood products."

He called for additional marketing research to learn more about trends in forest product consumption and more about consumer preference "and how best to meet the needs with what we have or can devise." Pointing out that wood has many tough competitors, Chief Clifi said "these inroads will continue and intensify without stronger wood utilization and marketing research."

Plans for increased Federal forestry research were orrtlined by the chief forester. A ten-year expanded research plan, still under consideration by the Agriculture Department, would "accelerate both basic and applied research in the five basic forest and range resources--timber, water, forage, wildlife habitat, and recreation.

This overall program envisions additional Federal assistance to States in forestry research. This was authorized by the recently enacted Mclntire-Stennis Act, which provides for Federal payments to the States on a matching basis.

The new cooperative research help will be available to all the States and Puerto Rico and is to be done at eligible colleges and universities, Chief Clifi said.

He emphasized how stepped-up forestry research, in such fields as outdoor recreation and better use of low-value trees, could help rural communities improve their economies under the growing Rural Areas Development program.

Ooors play a role of warmth and beauty in modern architecture because they add a natural look to every decor.

Laucks Laboratory tests show that after 250,000 cycles of opening and closing, the Soacesaver Wood Door still operates smothly.

I. llll. C0BB Company

While a major share of forestry research in product development, Chief Cliff pointed out, will continue to come from private industry, the Federal Government and colleges and universities have important roles to play.

o'Expenditures for forestry research lag far behind that for other research," the chief forester emphasized. He said some $12.5 billion was spent each year on all research and development activities in the United States, while the total annual forestry research outlays was some $90 million including Federal, State and private funds.

While total U.S. research money amounts to about 2l/2 per cent of the Gross National Product, forestry research expenditures come to only 4/I0 of one per oent of the GNP contributed by the timber-based industries.

o'I{ we are going to move ahead in technology of more intensive multiple-use management of our forests and the technology of expanded industries and employment based on forest resources," he concluded, "we must expand the forestry sciences on which new and improved technology can be built."

Dear Ole:

Dee Essley has sent me a copy of your December 1st issue containing the account of the National Forest Products Week program in which I had a small part.

The coverage on this event was certainly most complete, characteristic of the way you do things in California.

But what you say, editorially, about the speaker is also characteristic of California journalism, as I understand it. A flair for exaggeration, I think is the way I can best describe it.

Sorry we were not able to visit with each other more than we did. I promise I will check in with you again the next time I am in your state,

The best of season's greetings to you and yours-and health, happiness and long life to a dedicat€d lumber journalisL. Sincerely, John B. Egan Shell Lake, Wisconsin

Bonquet Move Aheod

Plans for the staging of the 28th annual Construction Industries Award Banquet are moving into high gear, according to an announcement issued by Robert Reordan, general chairman for the premier event of the Southland building trades.

The 1963 version of th-e traditional gathering of over 1,000 construction leaders, ,dgtud for Wednesday nlght, March 13, at the Hollywood Palladium, will have a new name and a new format. The banquet was formerly known as the Construction Industries Gridiron Banquet, because much of the festivity was devoted to lampooning

of public officials who hold sway over the construction industry.

Whereas this fun-poking will be continued under a new technique, the new name for the event will better reflect its more serious side, featured by presentation of an achievement award to the industry's "man of the year." Last year's winner of this singular honor was engineer D. Lee Narver.

Sub-cqmmittee chairmen who were recently named by Reordan to handle the various banquet details inclqde: script, Jack Landon and Walter Hagedohm; ticket sales, Walter Lindsay; special guest reception, Robert Boyd and Verne Boget; menu design, Earl Heitschmidt and Frank

Gillelen; program, William [right; awards co-ordination, S. B. Barnes; budget, How' ard Fitzpatrick; publicity, Sam Jaffee; and general reception, Alex Silverstein.

The banquet is sponsored by the con' struction industries committee of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, composed of principal trade associations and indi' viduals in the industry,

San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Remembers The Kids

Vell, San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club 9 did it again.

December 14, the club repeated with a top notch production of its Annual Christmas Party for 30 deserving kids from the San Francisco Boys' Club. The big party, held at the St. Francis Hotel, was attended by more than 125 lumbermen, wives and secretaries, all of whom were quick to pick up the Christmas Spirit generated by the 30 little guests of honor.

Following the usual successful format, the party began with a short reception in the Italian Room, followed by luncheon with the excited little junior citizens in the Colonial Room. Luncheon entertainment was supplied by Wes Usher, The Man of a 1000 Tricks, and the DeSalli Marrionettes.

But the main event was still the arrival of ol' Santa Claus. Through the cooperation of the San Francisco Boys' Club, and most of all the generous response from the party's sponsors,

Club 9 was able to give just about every youngster the present he most wanted

An undertaking such as this takes a lot of time and money and lacking either there would have just been 30 more little boys and girls who went without Christmas. And there are too many now. Perhaps other western Hoo-Hoo clubs not already involved in similar projects could look into the advisability of lending a hand to needy youngsters during Christmastime.

Three cheers to Frank Billings and Dave Mackin who cochairmanned the party, the same goes for the following lumbermen who donated time and effort to producing their part of the show:

Lloyd Hickok, tickets; Jim Hall, presents for the kiddies; Chuck Dickenson, publicity; Bill Carter, donations; Fred Ziese, children's transportation; Ed Brush, entertainment; and Shirley Crumpler and San Francisco Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club 3, reception.

Sawmills of the Douglas fir region cut eight billion board feet of lumber in 1962, u .hud" more than in recession 1961 but a hefty 1.I billion feet less than in 1959, the last prosperous year before Canadian imports began to zoom.

G. Cleveland Edgett, exicutive vice president of West Coast Lumbermen's Association, made these comparisons from figures gathered for western Oregon and Washington.

Though far short of 1959, the past year's orders gui"gq sfightly over thi previous two lean years, aud mills finished 1962 with slightly better unfilled orders and tighter inventories' The year's slit gains failed to reflect the solid advances by construction nationally.

The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in December was 137,i24,000 b.L or 86'4/o of the 1957-61 average' Orders averaged 149,794,000 b.f.; shipments 134,074,ffi0 b'f'; weekly "u"r"!". for November were production I54,794,0W b't', 97 '47o of the" Ig57'6L average; orders 142,763,000 b.f'; shipments I47,' 149,000 b.f.

Twelve months of the 1962 cumulative production 8,001,675,000 b.f.; twelve months of 196I, 7,809,023,000 b.f.; twelve months of 1960, 8,100,000,000 b.f.; twelve months of 1959, 9,104,000,000 b.f.

Orders for twelve months of 1962 break down as follows: rail and truck 6,097,302,000 b.f.; domestic cargo 1,387,367,000 b'f'; export 381,293,000 b.f .; local 350,138-000 b-f.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 507,136,000 b'f' at the end of December, lumber inventory at 927,718,000 b.f'

How To Sell 'Em Down On The Form

The California Redwood Association has developed a full-scale promotion to protect lumber's share of the farm market. The Association has prepared a series of sales aids for retailers, the front line in any promotion, and will back them up with advertising, publicity, and direct mail.

The Association is building the current phase of the farm promotion around a new series of data sheets with plals for farm structures and telling farmers how to specify and use lumber economically. CRA advertising and publicity will tell farmers that the source of these free plans is their local lumber yard. The Association is offering local dealers ad mats, envelope stuffers, and radio spots so that he can let people know that he is the local source of the plans. Dealers can get free samples of these sales aids from their California Redwood Association supplier (Arcata Redwood Company, Simpson Timber Company, The Pacific Lumber Company, Union Lumber Company, Georgia-Pacific Corporation, Willits Redwood Products Company), or directly from the California Redwood Association, Dept. P-44, 576 Sacramento Street, San Francisco ll, California.

The envelope stufier is priced the same as all other CRA silent salesmen, $1.00 per hundred. It can be ordered through the mills or directly.

The new plans are suitable for use on farms in any of the fifty states. The sheets contain full working plans, instructions, and materials list. An enterprising lumber dealer can use the plans to pre-cut or partially pre-fabricate the farm structures and sell the components at an even better profit.

Wood has been found in tombs excavated in the Midle East in good condition which was buried 4,000 years or more ago.

Agency for International Development has instructed its foreign missions to review the lumber procurement programs they finance, with a view to o'maximizing" procurement from the U.S.

o As the result of a government-industry conference in Portland, October 30-31, held to consider the effects of a widespread West Coast timber blowdown last fall, federal agencies are considering ways of possibly increasing or advancing their procurement schedules, "so as to reduce the effect of the excess lumber which will result from the storm."

One follow-up action, the report stated,

has been that purchase financed by the Agency for International Development {or use within Koreao Japan and other Pacific areas will be limited to lumber and wood products obtained from U.S. sources.

Another development has been that federal agencies are stepping up their efiorts to expand exports of U.S. lumber overseas.

Considering the complexity of the industry's problem, it is clear that it "will not be solved overnight," BDSA emphasized. The agency added:

"It will not be solved by the government alone, nor by industry alone, but through a cooperative effort.

the California Redwood Association at recent Society for Paint Technology meetings. He called for "significant improvements. in exterior wood finish performance."

Harpell, of the Association's research stafi, told the paint technologists only 25 per cent of residential exteriors in new construc' tion were painted or otherwise finished in 1960, compared to 80 per cent a decade earlier. The difierenceo he said, was due in large part to the trend toward low maintenance exterior materials such as brick and masonry. Better communications between the lumber and coatings industries are needed he said for more ,effective research toward low-maintenance finishes for wood sidings.

Harpell made his remarks in introducing CRA's Dr. Harold B. Gatslick, Project Director, Coatings and Treatments. Gatslick described his newly-created job as "stimulating the development of improved exterior treatments and coatings for wood and acting as wood consultant to the paint industry.

"I visualize a broad national research program," Gatslick went on, "with the research effort broken into workable segments Parcelled out to the laboratories with the talent to come up with the answers."

Students in the building classes at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College are again busy on the construction of the college's sixth model home, "Artisan'63."

At present, work on the two-bedroom home is at the half-way mark with frame and base work completed. The next steps will be lathing and plastering which will be done by the college's evening and day lathing and plastering students.

Overall, the all-student built home includes some 1,460 square feet of living space, designed in the Balanced Power concept by architectural drafting student John De Young, Jr.

Planned around a theme of a Roman Courtyard, the novel home emphasizes Southland ii.rdoor-outdoor living. In additionn it features a modern built-in gas kitchen, dining nook and den, and a master bedroom suite. The entire home offers complete year-round climate control with a central gas-fired air conditioning system for summer cooling, winter heating, ventilation, and humidity control.

end of World War II, Dr. Smith reminded his audience that the backlog of housing requirements, originating in the Depression and extending through the war years, had made construction attractive as a market for investment and expansion. In the presently stagnant market, he warned that production capacity now exceeded demand.

He cited the fact tlat Portland cement capacity presently exceeds actual production by more than 100 million barrels and that fir plywood capacity has been rising ahead of production since 1959.

Citing statistics to show that construction pays higher hourly wages than manufacturing and that the gap is increasing, Dr. Smith predicted that labor in the industry will tend to be moved off the site and into the factory where more efficiency, better controls, and better performance at lower rates will make the industry more competitive. He supported this contention by show.

ing that the trend has already begun, with manufactured homes now representing 16/o of single-family dwellings, as opposed to 3Vo in 1947.

Commenting that housing starts had been influenced in the past by the easing and tightening of mortgage terms by the Veterans Administration and the Federal Housing Administration, he showed that the backlog for housing had now been used up and that although rates were now eased there were fewer ready buyers.

"Housing starts bailed the United States out of two recessions when, despite general business being off, housing starts boomed," he said. "But this is no longer true and housing starts will match the general business level for some years."

He cautioned that housing starts $rere useless to the lumber industry as a. barometer unless related to the kind of construction involved. Pointing out that less lumber is used in apartment construction than in single-family dwellings, he cited the fact that apartments represented 28/o of the

residential market in L962 and would run to as much as 30/o in 1963. He predicted that in the late sixties, apartments will reach as great a proportion as 40/o oI the housing market in the U.S.

Smith told the lumbermen that 1975 would ofier a great potential world-wide market for construction materials in view of a billion increase in world population and that industries which take advantage of the opportunity would prosper. He concluded that strong industry associations provide the greatest single means for producers to capitalize upon the markets created by population booms in the next dozen years.

It was offered that the industry is not yet ready for such an all encoml)assing marketing program, because of its presently

badly divided or 'osplintered" nature. Thus, as a main group effort is apparently not practical, what can individual firms do? Strengthen the quality of their marketing efiort and promotion; place greater emphasis on service, advance commitment and delivery. [t was suggested that in the past too much emphasis has been on productiono too little on sales, too much on cost and tr>o little on service.

There was a recognition of the vacuum oxisting betwcen production and end us€. The industry needs to concentrate upon developing sales engineers to present the c€rse of lumber before architects, specifiers and buyers.

Though it seemed to be generally agreed that "the industry is not presently ready for a comprehensive marketing plan,o' it was also acknowledged that because of the splintered nature of the industry such a plan is needed. A minority opinion, strongly voiced, was that there must be a "Gold Seal" kind of marketing promotion, that the industry has gol to unite under common objectives or suffer further loss of markets.

Final mrjor topic for analysis centered upon the question: o'How can forest products industries in the next decade win greater product acceptance, legislative consideration, governmental understanding and public good will ?

Here, briefly, it was recognized that the industry must plan and conduct a better' more intensive program of public relations; such a plan, however, must be based upon an industry which has achieved a greater unity of purpose. It was suggested that the activities of the many, many associations need to be re-examined and that there must come about a sreater consolidation of their efiorts. It was recognized that the endorsement of the principle of the multiplc use of forest lands will win greater public acceptance and so improve the image of the forest products industry.

Timber Operulor's Permil Revoked

DeWitt Nelson, Director of the Department of Conservation, revoked the Timber Operator's Permit of the Riffie Logging Company, Weaverville, Trinity County, California. Effective date of the revocation was February 1, 1963.

Revocation of the permit entitling the firm to conduct timber operations in California was the result of violations of forest practice rules for the Coast Range Pine and Fir Forest District.

State Forester Francis H. Raymond charged the Riffie Logging Company with failure and refusal to leave required seed

trees for reforestation; to minimize soil erosion; to fell snags; and to lop slash as required by the applicable forest practice rules. Felling snags is a forest fire prevention measure. Lopping slash is the cutting of branches from the logging residue left in the woods. This practice is for the reduction of fire hazard and the elimination of favorable habitat for destructive forest insects.

Deputy Attorney General Robert H. Connett represented State Forester Raymond in bringing charges against the logging com'. pany for law violations in Trinity County. State Hearing Officer Coleman E. Stewart represented Director Nelson.

It was more than 40 years ago when pioneer lumberman Forrest W. Wilson arved in Los Angeles to follow his career in the wood products industry. He had begun his basic training in San Francisco, but then decided he would rather make his home in Southern California,

It was also four decades ago last September 9th when Forrest became a member of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, along with such prominent southland lumber executives as Roy Stanton, Sr., and Dee Essley, In the same year of 1922 he became a Mason, following this work through to the Shrine. He has been a leader in fraternal and civic affairs throughout his lifetime.

Forrest has covered the seven Western

states in the distribution of Western building products. For the past several years he has been the sales representative for

MacMillan, Bloedell & Powell, Ltd., of Vancouver, B.C. His firm is the exelusive distributor for B. C. Forest Products in the Western states, and Forrest travels the southwest territory selling dealers and remanufacturers at the wholesale level. Forrest lVilson resides in the beautiful Villa Mesa district in Pasadena with his wife, Margaret. Son Ronald is presently with the U. S. Air Force in France, and daughter Dianne is raising her family in Southern California.

Beautiful grain of wood is made by different growth rates of softwoods in spring and summer. Slower summer growth makes a dark annual ring which is generally more narrow than the fast growing and lighter colored spring wood.

Omqrk Technicions Keep Power Scws Running

To Cleqr Storm Debris

Cleanup after a severe Pacific Coast storm put all available chain saws to work causing a windfall of problems for the service department of OMARK Industries, Inc., manufacturer of OREGON Saw Chain.

On Monday follo'wing the October 12,1962 storm, OMARK'g service technicians handled some 300 power saw and chain problems. "We filed close to 250 chains that day," said serviceman Bill Haglan. "Our customers included the Milwaukie City Fire Department, the U.S. Army, the State Highway Department and the State Police. Many of the jobs were on a no-charge basis."

'

"'We salr many old-time 84w8,' added Ileglen. "Makes like Electro Boss, Redhead Wood Boss, IEL Twin, Reed hentice came in, and these were all from 10 to 15 years old."

Perhaps the toughest cutting job for an OREGON Chain following the storm was on a 4"x7ty'z," concrete tree plug. The customer biought his chain in after sawing the plug completely in half. Re-filing put the chain back to work.

"Some funny things happened that day," related Gordon Hodson, another OMARK serviceman. "One fellow drove 50 miles for some repair work, only to find he didn't have a key to unlock the chain saw from his trunk. We had to help him take out the back seat of his automobile before we could do any chain fixing. In another incident, two fellows swapped their saws in the parking lot after having some work done, and both appeared to be delighted with the impromptu transaction."

Arizono's Cliflon lumber Celebrotes Soth Anniversory

Pete and Thora Pollack, owners of Clifton Lumber & Improvement Co., 403 Railroad Avenue, Clifton, Arizona, recently celebrated the company's 50th Anniversary with a big three-day Anniversary Sale. Some 1500 local friends and customers attended the event which, according to the latest census records, would mean that just about every man, woman, child and dog living in Clifton was in the store sometime during the celebration!

Although the Pollacks advertised leaders, including a new line of plastics, they were successful in moving a good amount of slow moving merchandise as well. Principal advertising of the event was done by handbills, and door prizes were awarded to those who guessed the closest to the number of nails contained in a large jar displayed in the showroom window.

Evonite Exponds Line

One of the fastest growing segments of the Evanite plywood line is the company's new family of factory finished hardwood plywood paneling. Recently Evanite Lustre-Sheen finished panel- ing was increased to 14 distinctly different panel types oi pre- finished woods.

Also available with the paneling are matching color nails which blend with the finish of the paneling, These nails are annular threaded for lifetime grip. T'hey may be face driven and do not require setting or touch up puttying.

The durable surface of Evanite hardwood paneling is protected by a scratch and wear resistant catalyzed iesin finish.- Evanite officials state that although the Lustre-Sheen process applied a deeper film for longer protection than most other marruf-u-"ture", use, the Evanite resin is so clear it does not retard the show through of the wood grain. The finish is baked onto the wood surface to form an actual bond with the wood. Backs of all panels are sealed to prevent moisture absorption.

All panel species are V-grooved in random pattern and have beveled edges to achieve a continuous monolithic surface effect. Wh-en properly applied with the exclusive Evanite matching color nails, it is nearly impossible to locate the panel joints anJ nails.

This paneling line includes four surfacei which Evanite calls "Charactef' grain. The paneling in this classification bears burl, knot and swirl patterns which add to its informality, The charac_ ter-grain woods ihclude Antique Birch, Natural tsirch, Natural Walnut and Provincial Cherry.

In addition to the characrer grain woods the line also includes

Silver Mist Ash, Golden Oak, Platinum Oak, Desert Oak, American Black Walnut, American Cherry, New England Birch, Colonial Birch, Knotty Pine and Knotty Cedar.

Prefinished mouldings in eight different types are also available to rnatch the panel coloring. Panel sizes may be 4'x8, or 4'xL0'xr/a,".

Evanite hardwood paneling is a product of Evans Products Company, Building Materials Division, 1029 S.W. Alder Street, Portland 5, Oregon. A full color folder is available upon request.

llodern Morketing Goncept Plqnned For New Diqmond Notionol Stores

A new marketing concept in lumber merchandising witl be introduced by Diamond National Corporation at four retail-building supply stores planned for construction in New England shopping centers, William II. Walters, chairman and president, has announced.

For the first time, all the services usually found in a multi-acre lumber yard will be provided in just 6,000 square-feet of floor space at the stores soon to be opened in I{ingham, Natick and lfaverhill, Massachusetts, and North Kingstown, Rhode Island, near Providence.

"We are breaking age-old lumber yard traditions in simplifying our sales approaeh to meet the special needs of home building supply customers," Mr. Walters said. "Our aim is to provide more and better service to all our customers. Contractors and builders will find greatly improved and accelerated service at these convenient locations."

The shopping center sites at Hingham Plaza, Haverhill Plaza, Sherwood Plaza in Natick, and Kingstown Plaza in North Kingstown, are located in rapidly expanding suburbs of Boston and Providence. They were chosen by Diamond National after extensive market studies.

Construction is already underway at the Ifingham Plaza store, which was scheduled to open on or about November 8. Tentative opening dates for the other stores are: Sherwood Plaza, November 23, and Haverhill Plaza, December 6. The North Kingstown store is expected to be ready early this year.

The stores will be of identical one-story brick and concrete block construetion, Colonial style in design, and each containing 6,000 square-feet of retail floor space. They will have anothet 2,400 square-foot of outdoor selling area. They will be airconditioned and operated on modern retailing principles.

"Our stores will be open when people want to shop-in the evening as well as daytime," L. S, Lavezzi, director of DN's Eastern Retail Division, commented. "Tlte usual technical lumber yard terms used to quote prices and in estimating material needs will be reduced to laymen's language as an aid to the rapidly gtowing ranks of do-it-yourself buyers."

There will be ample parking space available at the four locations, making it easy for customers to carry purchases of small lumber items in their cars. Express delivery on larger orders will be made possible through servicing from nearby Diamond National lumber yards.

In addition, Diamond National will offer its own financing plans to help homeowners make improvements when needed rather than having to wait until they can pay cash. Specially trained store personnel also will assist customers in planning various home improvement projects.

In that conneetion, the new stores will be staffed with local area people, and there will be opportunities for management responsibilities through Diamond National's training program.

K. L. Brownell, general manag:er, Eastern Retail Division, announced the stores will sell lumber and lumber products, brandname hand and power tools, household appliances, paints, garden supplies, plumb-

ing equipment, prefinished wood paneling and a wide variety of other building and home improvement materials.

Diamond National's Eastern Retail Division presently operates 26 building-supply stores and lumber yards in Connecticut' Massachuetts, Maine, New Ilampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. The company's West Coast Retail Division has 64 stores in California, Idaho and Washington.

Diamond National. with 39 manufacturing plants here and abroad, is a leading manufacturer of packaging, printing and molded-pulp produets, matches, lumber and wood products.

Two-Yeqr Molor Guorqnte€

A new, heavy-duty portable bayonet saw -described by the manufacturer as the fastest cutting saw of its kind-has been developed by Rockwell Manufacturing Company's Power Tool Division.

An unprecedented two-year consumer guarantee covers the unique failure-proof motor which powers the new Porter-Cable Model 300.

The saw's high-speed cutting action is attributed to a simplified orbital drive mechanism in place of the usual six, coupled with its 5/32-in. longer stroke.

It is used for hundreds of jobs from general rough cutting to fine scroll work on many types of materials-including wood, metals, plastics and compositions-by builders, cabinet shops, contractors and hobbyists. It can be used for ripping and crosscutting operations and serves also as a coping, keyhole, jig and hack saw.

Rockwell is making the unusual motor guarantee-longest in the industry-on the basis of exhaustive testing which proved average motor life is well in excess of the warranty period. Test results also demonstrated the tool's greater speed and power

Green & Dry Uppers

Rough & Milled Commons

in comparison with other available models. In extensive testing, the lightweight (six lbs) unit cut through almost 614 miles of 1tl-in. and 2-in. playwood without a sign of failure. In eontinuous eight-hour test periods throughout the summerr not a single motor was burned out, the company said. No difficulty was experienced even after 15% hours of testing, the longest single test period, while a comparable competitive model lasted only three hours and two minutes.

The saw "ot 1-r/rin. to 2-in. stock 30 per cent faster than other models. Tests showed also that blade life with the new saw is three times longer in heavy stock than other bayonet saws tested.

Durability of the motor is attributable partially to the treatment of critical components with special plastic formulations for improved insulation and longer wear. Commutation is 50 per cent improved due to an increased number of armature slots and commutator bars, Arcing and commutator wear are reduced and brush wear is cut by more than 300 per cent.

Equipped with a tilting base for 0- to 45-degree angle cuts, the machine also has a rip guide, circle cutting guide and base insert. A built-in spring clip prevents the

blade from tearing veneer, and an improved blower keeps the line of cut completely clear of sawdust. An improvcd dust seal in the blade holder bearing provides an airtight seal between the bearing and blade holder, thus protecting the gear chamber,

The 2,5-amp motor delivers a speed of 4000 strokes per minute. Capacity of the heavy-duty machine is 2r/z in. in wood, 96 in. in aluminum, and 3/16 in. in steel.

TECO Preporee Gomprchen3ivc Trurs Cutting Schedule

Timber Engineering Company has announced the availability of a comprehensive cutting and assembly schedule for its plate type truss system. Available without charge to fabricators of roof trusses using TECO plates, the schedule presents a complete breakdown on angle cuts and member lengths for W-pattern trusses.

In the Timber Engineering Company schedule there is an individual dimension sheet for each of six slopes ranging from 2\5 in72 to ? in 12. Spans covered run from L6' to 32' and for convenience are broken down into f increments. For a given slope and span the TECO schedule provides a total of 24 cutting dimensions and fabricating checks. Without the schedule a fabri-

cator of roof trusses would be required to spend hours either making detailed computations or laying out a full scale pattern truss in order to determine member lengths and angle cuts. The detail of the TECO schedule is suggested by the fact that close to 10,000 computations were involved in its preparation.

Also contained in TECO's schedule is a procedure sheet explaining how angle cuts and member lengths should be laid out using the pre-determined dimensions. For further guidance a detailed instruction sheet covering the construction of an assembly jig is included.

Information on how to obtain a copy of TECO's schedule can be obtained by writing Timber Engineering Company, 16lg Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington 6, D.C.
