Cedqr Associqfion Joins WWPA

Western Red Cedar Lumber Association, a Seattle-based trade organization representing major U. S. and Canadian cedar lumber manufacturers, affiliated January I with the Western Wood Products Association and has moved its offices to Portland, announces G. Noel Harrison, oedar association president.

Western Wood Products Association was organized earlier this year with the consolidation in August, 1964 of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and the Western Pine Association and represents a major segment of the lumber manufacturers operat' ine in the 12 western states.

VRCLA" board of trustees entered into a contractual agreement whereby the Portland-based WWPA will provide managem.ent services for the cedar asso.ciation. WRCLA will continue as an independent association although its field stafi will be inte' grated into WWPA as cedar specialists, with the WRCLA's board of trustees continuing to determine tho association's du'es structure and other managemenl policies.

Inland manufacturers in the l2-state region also set an all-time record with a cut of 10.5 billion board feet while coastal region manufacturers recorded the hiehest for the Douqlas fir area since peak production of 9.6 billion f,oard {eet in 195i.

The 1964 Western region cut represents 65/o of the nation's softwood production of an estimated 29.5 billion board feet, says Barnes.

Wilhold ond the Spoce Rqce

C. Willcox Comegys, president of Wilhold Glues, Inc., is as product-proud as are most company executives in this free-enterprise system. Last year he directed his engineers to the development of a new adhesive, Glu-On, whieh he is certain will sweep the market in the field of paneling fixative.

Of course he was pleased, but like many an executive he had a secret ambition to see his industry and his product participating more directly in more exotic fieldslike say, the race to the moon . You know, glamour!

Comegys kept iookinf for the entree into missile business and finally it came. He and 34 other makers were asked to submit bids for an adhesive which would hold the leading edge of a para-glider's wings together as it drifted back through the atmosphere on its return flight {rom the moon. Attached would be the space capsule containing the astronauts.

It was a vital assignment to develop, and Wilhold won. Satisfying to Comegys? Indeed! Never mind that l[ilhold is one of the world's largest manufacturers of a complete line of adhesives, they are now proudest of their moon-shot contract for one quart of glue-priced at $2.75.
