CAI.IFORNIA TUIIBER TERCHANT

BY JACK DIONNE Life is the acceptance of responsibility or their evasions;

Said Henry \A/ard Beecher, famous preacher: "Do not

man is born who isn't afraid, then things begin to happen."

ears can hear them and while their hearts can be cheered by them."

it is a business of meeting obligations, or avoiding them. keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness, sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with Said a wise man once: "Once in awhile, not often, a sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words while their I am a little thing with a big meaning. I help everybody, I unlock doors, open hearts, dispel prejudice. I create friendship and goodwill. I inspire respect and admiration. Everybody loves me. I bore nobody. I violate no law. f cost nothing. Nlany have praised me, none have condemned me. I am pleasing to those of high and low degree. I AM COURTESY. Mathematics : "An ermine coat, a foreign car, a Persian rug, a built in bar, a ten room flat and I'11 tell you sir, she does it all on tl-rirty per. Yet five years back some teaching hick, flunked this gal in arithmetic."

The most hopeless -hope -in the world is when hope leads tacts. a man to turlr away trom Ben Franklin's own epitaph as been reprinted countless times. The fact that good old Ben lifted it from the great fifteenth century thinker, Erasmus, is never noted. It goes like this: "The body of Benjamin Franklin, Printer, (like the cover of an old book, it's contents torn out and stripped of its lettering and gilding) lies here food for worms. Yet the work itself shall not be lost, for it rvill (as he believes) appear once more in a newer and more beautiful edition, corrected and amended by The Author."

Elbert Hubbard said that a recipe for perpetual ignor-

ance is to be satisfied with your own opinions and content -

with your own knowledge.

"I see you have a sign in your store 'we aim to please,'" remarked the irritated customer to the manager. Well all I've got to say is that you ought take more time off for target practice." The author of the following essay on tl-re subject of electricity is unknown, but it's worth mulling over. The essay goes like this, just as it r,'r'as printed in this column more than a generation back: "Electricity is something that starts, the Lord knows where, and ends in the same place. It is one thousandth of a second faster on its feet than it's nearest competitor-back yard gossip-and when turned loose in Europe will get to the United States five hours before it started, daylight savings time. Nobody knows exactly what it is, because it never stands still long enough to be examined. If you are a person with a lively imagination you may think of electrictiy as science gone goofy, and you will be very close to the truth. If you understand its curves you can do anything with it except open a jar of raspberry jam at a picnic. Electricity was locked up in ignorance for centuries until Ben Franklin let it out with a pass key. Since then it has been pulling off more stunts than a monkey on the thousand yards of grapevine. With it you can start conversation, or stop one permanently, cook dinner, curl your hair, press your trousers, blow up a battleship, run an automobile,.signal Mars and many more cute tricks for it to do are being invented.

ls Brilliont Demonstrotion

Of Utilizotion Of Wood

The eight-fioor Forest Industries Building, in Woshington, D.C., serve3 os fhe heodquoilers for the Nctionol Lumber Monufqclurerc A33ociqtion ond the Timber Enginering Compony. Ninaleen species of wood were used in the poneling, 8oors, ceilings ond window frcmes.

The Forest Industries Building, dedicated November 6 during the Annual Nleeting of the National l,umber Nlanufacturers Association and the Timber E,ngineering Company, provides the lumber and wood products industry with an impressive showcase in the nation's capital. Built and owned by the Timber E,ngineering Cornpany, NLN{A's wholly-owned researcl.r and testing subsidiary, the $1,600,000 structure is situatecl at 1619 \{assachussets Avenue, Northwest, in tl.re heart of tl-re rapidly developing new construction area for downtown \Vashington. Although local Building Codes prohibited the use of wood for the exterior structrlre except for u'indou.s. the interior of the Forest ln<ltrstries 13uil<ling is a real slrowcase of the structural and decorative use of wood. More tl.ran 100,000 board feet of lumber was usecl in the building including 19 clifferent species for paneling, ceiling, floors, cabinetry, winclolr.'s ar.rcl otl-rer areas. Tl.re sl)ecies used were : redrvood ; bircl-r plywood i Southerrr pine ; i\testern Red cedar; I)ouglas fir ; asl.r ; Sugar pine ; California Incense cedar; Iclaho rr.Vhite pine ; Ponderosa pine ; \Arest Coast hemlock; walnut (both solid and plywood) ; cherry (both solid and plywoocl) ; n-ragnolia ; cypress ; gum ; \\rhite fir; oak ; and n.raple. Variety of Flooring Used Througl-rout the building, five different types of u'ood flooring were installed, one being a ne.il' type of flexible flooring never before used commercially. The other four types are : random I'vidth oak plank, oak block, and maple block and oak parquet. Because of the numerous sDecies involved. architect Don I.ethbriclge of Keyes, Lethbiidge ancl Condon, rrA'ashington, D.C., used both random width boards and plywood paneling for contrast. He also introduced many unique design features in paneling and ceiling application which make the interior modern in appearance and yet completely practical in application. In addition to quartering NLMA and TECO, the Washington offices of the Southern Pine Association and the West Coast Lumbermen's Association as well as the head-

quarters office of the National Wooclerr Pallet Association,

one organization outside the lumber industry and a branch

of the Housing and Home Finance Agency are housed in the building.

Lobby Paneled in California Redwood Or.re of the beauty spots in the builcling is the main lobby at the street level entrallce. Paneled in beautiful California redwood, tl-re walls of the lobby give a striking contrast to the Sugar pine ceiling above. The ceiling, incidentally, is of a modern construction whicl-r clearly demonstrates the versatility and design possibilities of wood. Exterrding down ll inch fron.r betweeu each piece of n'ood strip ceiling, and measuring 4l inches center to center are dados, which give the ceiling a pleasant rhytl,mic effect. AlTording contrast to this are light {ixtrrres extendirrg from the ceiling approximately 2 inches atrd breaking up the parallel pattern of tl-re dados. The flooring in this area is of mosaic cluality and, in effect, is installed similar to a mosaic system. When manrlfactured, quarter sawu pieces of oak are held together in 2' scluares by means of paper attachecl to the surface of

The ceiling in the Board Room is construction similar to the ceiling in the main lobby on the first floor. On this floor, however, it picks up the rhythm set by the hallway paneling and carries it throughout the room.

Slender Wood Cvlinders Basis For Forest Study 'f l.rousands of slender cylinders of wood, thin enough to be slipped inside soda straws, are the unusual foundation for what may be the most revolutionary wooden buildings in history. They won't be part of the structures, but the knowledge they are providing to a special kind of research scientist is likely to make it possible to build

strollger with less bulk. This could mean better utilization of the raw materials harvested from the country's

forests, in wood by-products as well-as

Iumber and olvwood. It also could mean importani savings in wood construction because less bulk would be needed.

This giant research project is being conducted in a "laboratorv" that stretches from the Pacific border of Canada in the north to middle California in the south. This is the land of the rain forest, where fir, hemlock, pine and cedar grow to impressive size and where much of the country's structural lumber is harvested. Tl-re wood cylinders, called increment cores, are bored from living trees by crews of the U.S. Forest Service. Thousands of trees, gron'ing under

'Ihe cores are baked bone-drv. then weighed, to determine their ipecific gravity. In calculating the strength of wood, a general rule of thumb is that the greater the specific gravity, the greater the strength of wood. An-

Hundreds of Tests

The wafers rvill give researchers a '\'ay to relate the density of the increment core to the density of the whole marketable Dortion of the tree. Since density differs with location on the tree, this information is necessary to complete the picture. The Forest Service, and the Forest

factors that don't apply to every situation. One of the aims of this study is to separate the strength values and

the safety factors so that engineers can

apply the right combination for the

job.

Thomas E. Batey, Jr., a wood technologist who heads the plywood association's Product Research laboratorv. is cautious in his predictions about the final results of the tests. "All we can say for sure is that this new body of knowledge will be accurate. We may find that the old values were correct, even though the samples were small," Batey said. "Even so, the uncertainty will be gone. Today, it's often necessary to figure triple safety factors into engineered wooden buildings. This is because we don't know for certain how the structure will behave. The reevaluation of strength data will certainly eliminate this uncertainty." Others in the field, not so conservative as the scientists, are frankly optimistic about the future of wood building because of this study. W. E. Difford, executive vice president of the plywood asso.ciation and one of the industry's most daring innovators, is cut from this cloth. Revolution Predicted "We're forced to use too much bulk irr wood construction," Difford says, bluntly. "The data that's needed to eliminate structural padding simply hasn't been available before. "By the time these tests are completed you'Il see a revolution in building with lumber and plywood. These

materials will be cheaper to use, because it won't be necessary to use so much. And space, which is what you buy in a building, won't be cluttered up with a lot of unnecessary struc-

tural bulk." Meantime, in the needle-carpeted slopes of the rain forests, crews of steel-hatted experts from the Forest Service are boring tiny holes in giant trees and carefully preserving the thin cores in soda straws. The storv thev tell will be reflected in tomdrrowis skyline.

The 1962 edition of the Nlanual of Nlilhvork as adopted by the Woodwork Institute of California establishes three definite grades-Economy, Custom and Premium-for practically all items of millwork. To aid in establishing that the millwork furnished is in accordance with the grade or grades specified by an owner or his agent, the M/oodwork Institute of California has established a Certified Compliance licensing program available to all qualified millwork firms in California. Applicants for this license must pass a rigid examination and demonstrate their knorvledge and ability to supply millwork produced in accordance with the grade requirements of the Manual of Millwork. Licensees are provided rvith W.I.C. Certified Compliance Grade Stamps, and this stamp, r,vhich may be placed only on an item of casework, constitutes the manufacturer's certification that the product stamped meets all requirements for the grade indicated by the stamp. Licensees may, on items of millwork other than casework, issue a W.I.C. requirement of the specihed \ r.LC. grade. Such certificates are registered with the office of the Woodwork Institute of California. The W.I.C. maintains a staff of qualified inspectors who periodically check on licensees to determine that grade qualities are maintained. Licenses mav be revoked and grade stamps and certificates withdrawn from the manufacturer if the product does not meet the grade indicated. The architect may submit to the W.I.C. office a written request for a reinspection of any job for which the specifi(Continued on Page 72)

The W.I.C. will, upon receipt of such notice and within a reasonable length of time, send a qualified inspector to reinspect the work in question. A written report will be furnished to the architect, giving detailed coverage of the conditions found to exist. There will be no charge for this service, when the millwork has been produced by a W.I.C. licensee. If an owner or architect wishes to take advantage of the Certified Compliance licensing program, he could accomplish his purpose by including in his specifications the following: "All millwork shall be manufactured in accordance with standards as established in the Manual of Millwork of the Woodwork Institute of California, 1962 edition, in the grade or grades hereinafter specified or as shown on the drawings.

Now . . . Noyo brand Redwood Siding is factory stain-primed with P.A.R. Vater Repellent Finish to assure on.the-job dependability If you've been hesitant about using mill stained siding because of uneertain results, your problems are over. Union delivers more than ordinary stain priming. First, you get P.A.R., the penetrating water repellent made by the manufacturers of famous Woodlife. Thoroughly tested, P.A.B. both tones and protects against checking and grain raising. Can't peel, blister or crack. Instead of masking like opaque paints, it enhances the natural beauty of grain and pattern. Just one more coat by the painter of widely distributed P.A.R. and the job's done.

Second, you g:et automatic finishing on allfour sides, so 'eitherthe rough or smooth face can show. Union's new finishing line assures eomplete uniform application, unexcelled quality control and considerable economy. So for "redwood magic" be sure to specify Noyo brand Siding in the two popular P.A.R. colors: Redwood and driftwood Gray.

"When I build a house" is the phrase that almost everyone has often contemplated. This phrase starts the potential home builder or remodeler thinking what he wants in the way of house design, what materials he desires to use in its construction, and how much it will cost him. One of the most important aspects the home builder or remodeler considers is the expression of his individuality,

with the features that make the finished project uniquely fitted to his personal needs and desires. To accomplish this requires numerous decisions, the proof of which will

be the finished product whether it be an additional room, remodeled home, or a whole uew house. Thus he will need extensive knowledge on every aspect concerning the project in order to be able to make the correct decisions. "When I Build a llouse" by authors Harrell, Harvey, Jones, Lendrum, Pusey, and Thompson (Guideways, Inc., Champaign, Ill. - $7.50) covers every aspect of the problems faced by the home builder or remodeler whether he be a do-it-yourselfer or has the project contracted. The book covers everything from selecting the neighborhood and lot for a new home site to selecting the electrical, heating, and plumbing system. Some of the specific problems discussed in this work are planning the house, what rnaterials to use throughout the house, are there any materials which combine roof sheathing and insulation, what is the best wood for window and door frames, what flooring materials should one consider, how to choose the contractor, what about the placement of stairways, does local climate have anything to do with the type of wood used, should the man or woman select the color for the house, what are some of the materials used for pavement, should basement drains be connected to the storm and sanitary systems, how to finance construction, landscaping and lot organization, how does a person's personality enter the planning and design, what about the lighting in bedrooms, what are the best materials for the inside of a house, and hundreds of other questions and alternatives which each home builder or remodeler must consider. There are numerous charts and illustrations to aid the reader to visualize what is being said and to understand detailed systems such as electrical and plumbing. A glossary of building terms is included in the book so that the home builder will be able to understand and use the language of the industry. The book goes into great detail in regard to the various alternative types of wood from which to choose such as for paneling and flooring. In a nutshell, "When I Build a House" is a simplified text book in easy-to-read language which almost everyone will find interesting and educational. The authors are well known in their respective fields which are construction, lumber and material dealers, financing, interior decorating, and architectural engineering. Several are members of at least one lumber association. Messrs. Jones and Lendrum were largely responsible for the development of the Lu-Re-Co system. Home builders and remodelers will find there are many problems concerning their projects which they never thought existed. The retail lumber and building materials dealer will find this book helpful in answering the many questions asked by the home builder and remodeler. The numerous charts and illustrations can serve as a visual aid wl-ren the retailer is explaining, for instance, what a cathedral roof looks like and l-row it is constructed. "When I Build a llouse" will also better acquaint the dealer with how the do-it-yourselfer looks at a project. Thus the book will also aid the retailer in offering suggestions which will best fulfill the needs and desires of the consumer, to help his reputation and sales.

They were Jol-rn and Emelia DeWolfe, their sights set orl making a big killing in the chicken ranching business. After buying two or three hundred cluckers, they settled down at 5041 West Avenue M, and waited for the boom of prosperity. Unfortunately,

the boom was llot as loud and as quick as they had anticipated, so they began to look around for another commercial

venture as a sideline. Iohn, who had been a carpenter and floor-layer, heard about a lumber company in Los Angeles which was selling out a large lot of material at a tremendous reduction in price. The De\\/olfes then r.l'ent to the great metropolis and purchased what turned out to be the turning point in their business careers. They soon discovered that their retail lumber business was gro'w'ing faster tl-ran their chickens. Eventually, the chicken department was completely discontinued to make room for the full line of power tools,

builder's hardware, paints, garden

tools and fencing materials. In the relatively short period of time

During the early part of 1959, the L)e!\'olfe Lumber Cornpany furnished all the lumber and building materials tused to construct "The Showcase of Famous Brands" model home in Portal Heights, a beautiful section near ()uartz Hill. At the present time, the company is supplying goods being ttsed irr the construction of a Ouartz Hill senior citizen housing d&elopment.

Continued expansion of the lumber company created a need for additional lumber storage space. For this reason, Jol-rn DeWolfe decided to purchase a

Tree Forming Adds More Thqn 3 Million Acres During Yeor The tree farm movement with its multiple-use benefits of wood, water, wildlife, recreation and soil stabilization

already has added more than 3 million acres of timberlands this year and shattered all previous records for the number of new tree {arms certified. Certified tree farm acreage has climbed past 571million acres, and the number of timbered tracts enrolled reached nearly 22,000. Alabama has taken over national leadership with 6,093,289 certified tree farm acres, overtaking Florida with 5,963,739. Mississippi maintained leadership in tl-re number of certified tree farm units with 2,861. However, Georgia showed the greatest tree farming spurt during the year, certifying 459 new tree farms embracing 503,131 acres. The continued l-realthy growth of the industry-sponsored tree growing program, now rounding out its ZOth year, was shown in reports at the annual meeting of the sponsoring organization, American Forest Products Industries, meeting in the nation's capital Nov. 1-2. The tree farm program, said Karl Swenning of Scott Paper Co., chairman of AFPI's national Forestry Committee, has helped assure the forest industries of adequate wood supplies for many years to come, provided managed timberlands are not removed from timber oroduction for other purposes. The multiple use benefits of these managed forests, such as hunting, fishing, picknicking and other outdoor activity, are only now coming to be recognized as a public asset of great magnitude. A survey of forest industry lands last year, said Swenning, showed 92 per cent of these lands are open for hunting and fishing and other forms of recreation. More industry parks, camping and picknicking areas for

the public are being developed by wood-growing companies each year, said Swenning.

Another industry forestry program, Busy Acres, spread

to four more states in 1961, Swer.rning reported, making nine

states which have activated this how-to-become-a-tree farmer movement to put idle, lazy and "loafing" lands to work growing trees. Wisconsin, Arkansas, Illinois and Massachussetis are launching Busy Acres this year. Previously, it had been launched in North Carolina, Florida,

Texas, South Carolina and Nfississippi. Swenning said landowner interest in tree farming had been quickined in recent years by Busy Acres _with increasing publicity and stepped-up assistance by foresters, both piivlte and lIovernment. In the Tree Farm System alone some 1,900 foresters serve as inspectors. Foresters are concentrating efforts on the smaller timberland tracts rvhich comprise i;0 per cent of the nation's forest land.

Hoo-Hoo No.2 Steering Commitlee Plons Annuol Dinner-Dqnce President Joe Petrash called the meeting of the HooHoo Club No. 2 Steering Committee to order on January 8 in Rodger Young auditorium. The fiist item brought before the Steering Committee was the Annual Dinnei Datrce to be held at either General Lee' in Chinatown or the Nikabob Restaurant on March 16. Phil Kelty and Harold Cole were designatjd to check on dinner piices and parking facilities and Rex Oxford volunteered- to check on the availability and price of an orchestra. It was further decided that John Osgood and Lee Kramer would handle publicity. Joe Petrash concluded the meeting lrY atttouncing tlat of Bowling Nights, The I-as V-egas Air Exthe subjects " cursion and the Lumbermen's Placement Bureau would be discussed at the next Steering Committee meeting.

Southern California Wholesalers Re-Form Association I'Ieeting January 23 at the Rodger Young Auclitorium in Los Angeles,

98 rvholesale lumbermen and building products distributors voted to establish a ner.'l'' organization to be known as the Wholesale Division of the Lumber Association of Southern California. The group, while becoming affiliated u'ith the Lumber Association as regular members, will still retain iis separate entity.

One of the first moves lvas the appointment of a committee, composed of Terry Mullin and Paul Hollenbeck, president and executive vice president, respectively, of the Lumber Association, who in turn will select a nominating committee for nominees for the executive committee of the Wholesale Division.

The,task of the executive committee rvill be to establish basic principles and

objectives for the organization. Obiectives will reflect the necessity for re-defining sound, economic diitribution channels and oatterns consistent rn'ith modern induitry practices, and the adoption of a declaration of principles for the implementation of such channels. A further objective is the establishment of an arbitration committee, rvhose purpose will be to educate the Association members in the desirability of adhering at all times to the declaration of principles-in the interests of pursuing a logical, forthright and intelligent conduct of the wholesaling and distribution business.

Among lhe Weldwood Stluciures component porrs included in lhis Sgure is lhe orcode of groceful orchei thot gives sweep ond swing to lhe focode. o functionol orchilecturol occenl lhqt hos provided shode ond shelter for shoppers in Europeon cities for c€nluries, yet looks o3 new ca lomorrow in this mode:n cpplicction.

New Shopping Center Prefabbed for San Francisco Builder ETAMILIAR fir plywood rrot only fulfilled its traditional cost-saving role in the construition of the new Skyline Shopping Center in Daly City, near San Francisco, but also provided at low cost the distinctive arrangement of arches that sweep gracefully across the big center's striking facade. This arcade, reminiscent of tl-re porticos that have provided shade and shelter for shoppers in European cities for centuries, was fashioned from factory-fabricated ply-

wood components especially designed by \\/eldrvood Structures of San Leandro, Calif. ; formerly Berkeley Plywood Co. and now a division of tl-re United States Plywood Corporation. In the concept adapted for the new Skyline project, this functional architectural accent from the past looks as modern as tomorrow. Noted California builder I{enry Doelger planned the shopping center on an eight-acre plot to house 18 stores in the service category for the growing Daly City subdivision. Largest tenants are a supermarket, a drugstore and a hardware store, a bank, a rnedical-dental center and a large restaurant geared to family dining-out. "We chose plywood for walls, roof and other areas where we are accustomed to using this versatile material," says Carl Bedell, Doelger's general superintendent. "But lve also selected plywood components wherever these costsaving prefab parts could be used. And then our architects designed for us the unique arrangement of plywood arches that makes this shopping center a Daly City landmark." All told, more than 90,000 square feet of plywood, actually more than two acres of the material, went into the shopping center. Taking advantage of plywood's structural strength and

WPA Publishes Lumber Technicol Mqnuql A complete file of facts about the nation's biggest lumber family-the l0 Western Pine Region species-is contained in the "Lumber Technical Manual" available to users of

lumber products everywhere. Published by the Western Pine Association, the 28-page book includes a product selector guide and detailed information about lumber sizes, grades and special products. The manual u'as initially printed for use in Sweet's Catalog for use by architectural and construction offices.

speed of application, Doelger used the material as a substi-

tute for more costly tilt-up concrete walls-achieving a saving of l0-15 cents per square foot of wall area' Panelized roof components, developed five years ago by Weldwood Structures, then Berkely Plyrvood Co., and norv

in use of some 50 million square feet of roof surface, accounted for still further savings. Roofs set up with these

factory-fabricatecl panels, including purlins and hangers, cost under 33 cents per square foot installed, less Per square foot than conventional roof structures used to cost 20 pre-inflation years ago and three to four cents less than the in-place cost of ply'lvood-and-joist roof construction nowaoays.

Perhaps the most stimulating architectural feature of the Skyline project, designed by Alan R. McKay of Oakland, is an arcade of vaulted plywood overhangs projecting 12 feet from the facade of the market. Delicate-appearing three-inch steel columns support the outboard ends of valleys spaced 20 feet on center in this portico arrangement. Plywood arches of these dimensions previously were considered beyond the limits of thin plywood vault constructions. Compared to the 40-odd pounds per square foot of three-inch thinshell concrete arches, these plywood vaults weigh only three pounds per foot. Walls, framed over a conventional concrete slab foundation, consist of 2x6's spaced 16 inches on center, covered with s/s-inch interior CD Plyscord. 'Ihey were completed with the addition of a vapor barrier and stttcco over wire. In effect, these exterior walls are huge shear diaphragms. But the building is braced additionally by an interior shear wall 20 feet long and up to 20 feet high, covered on both sides with 72-inch plywood. Gypsum board covers the inside walls.

Single copies of the book may be obtained from the Western Pine Association, Yeon building, Portland 4, Ore., without charge. Quantities are available at 15 cents per copy.

Dodge's annual outlook statement preclicts that total constrttction corrtracts in 1962 rvill amount to nearly $40 billion, a. gain of 7 per cent over the estimatecl $37.3 billion for tllls year. The Doclge outlook points out that resiclential builcling t'ill register its best year of the recent past and that dollar volume of residential contracts l'ill total $17.5 billion, up 10 per cent over 1961. Itesidential floor area is expectecl to increase eight per cent over 1961. Using the U.S. Census Bureau basis of measuremellt, Doclge expects ner,r' non-farm housing starts in 1962 to total 1,.100,000, up eight per cent from 1961. t\ccording to the Doclge report, non-residential builcling contracts n ill register a four per cellt increase h 1962 totaling $12.7 billion. Floor area represented by these contracts is expecte<l to rise 3 per ceut primarily because of a 10 per cent jrlmp in rnanufacturir-rg builciings. Floor area of commercial buildings is expectecl to equal tl-re 1961 total, u'hile the ph1'sical volume of eclucational and science builclings is forecast to increase two per ceut. With the exception of hospitals. u'hich are predicted to slip just belorv the 1961 level, all other building types irr the non-residential category r,r'ill register small gains in 1962.

2. To train retail segments of the industry so that homeowners will find efficient and reliable home improve-

ment firms available to them. 3. To provide national coordination for a splintered industry as central in-

formation service, public spokesman and legislative representative. 4. To stimulate civic awareness

among home improvement companies in each community, through the organization of Council chapters and local coordinating committees, and to work for concerted local promotion efforts. 5. To implement programs designed to upgrade industry practices on a long-term basis. In approving plans to move forward, members of the Council's Board of

Directors commented with enthusiasm on results of the 1961 activities, par-

ticularly the series of management training seminars that have been held in 14 cities in all parts of the country. Executive Director Edgar V. Hall reported that more than 525 dealers contractors and others have attended the two-day training sessions to gain authoritative information on pricing, estimating, selling, merchandising and other important management subjects. Additional seminars have been tenta-

tively scheduled in five other cities, he said. The Council has arranged a conference among officials of the FHA, Office of Civil Defense and Better Business Bureaus with the objective of establishing a code of ethical practices to regulate the advertising and selling of fall-out shelters. This came about, Hall said, because the Council has received many expressions of concern from industry leaders and private citizens who are fearful that unscrupulous dealers will move into the fall-out shelter business to victimize unwary homeowners.

"The BASIC-BILT program does not put U.S.G. in either the finance business or the shell home business," Morgan emphasized. "It is designed to assist dealers and builders in taking advantage ,of the opportunity that exists in the shell home field. This is another of the company's industry services to help dealers and builders expand their market.

U.S.G. has arranged with one of the nation's leading finance companies, Allied Building Credits, Inc., to offer a special BASIC-BILT finance plan u'hich provides money for shell homes and low-cost housing with no recourse or liability to tl.re dealer or U.S.G., Nlorgan said.

A permanent dealer clisplay center is another principal promotional element of the program. Morgan said the objective of the BASIC-BILT program

is to help dealers and builders solve the problem of housing for modest income families. He said U.S.G. rvill benefit only as the program stimulates the sale of materials to dealers and builders. The new program rvas introdtlced at the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association exposition at X{cCormick Place in Chicago, November 4 to 7. Bosic-Bilt Fnct Sheet Financing. The program offers a special new finance plan administered through Allied Building Credits, Inc., with low monthly payments which can be met by low-income families.

Lumber Association of Southern California, and to incorporate the Association. The Lumber Association of Southern California was officially incorporated November 13, 1961. At a meeting held December 11, 1961, the Executive Committee corrected the rough draft of the new corporation's By-La.ivs. The revised By-Laws were held up temporarily because of the necessity for deciding whether to be designated as a profit or non-profit corporation. Recent action by the Internal Revenue Department in the non-profit Association field-especially the Illinois Lumber and lUaterial Dealers Association-made this a complicated decision. The attorneys for the Association gave an opinion tl-rat it should be a non-profit corporation and report taxes, if any, due on outside activities, which is possible within the structure of a non-profit corporation.

Abstroction We're living in a frantic Abstract Age, And realistic arts are not admired; So I am going to earnestly engage To live the abstract life so much desired. My lot will be planted with trees made of brass; I'll assemble some scrap-iron in lieu of the grass. My house w'ill be stark and as bare as can be, With windowless walls, for now who wants to see A landscape of actual mountains and lakesl After all, they are nothing but nature's mistakes. For a wife I will search for a freely-formed shape, With bulbous rnidriff and head like a grape; A sort of a Henry Moore creature, you know, Just a beautiful blob from a tub full of dough. And our kids 'r,r'ill be formed out of prisms, I guess; Lovely shapes, though at birth they might cause some distress. And a dog I nrust find of a breed which will be In repose at nry feet just a pile of debris. Now for colors, I must not forget them you know; They should give each observer acute vertigo. They'll be nauseous mustards, vile greens, r.roisome pinks, Oh, my home will be so abstract that it stinks. So here's to my wonderful new way of life Which I'm going to enjoy to the full I can see, With an abstract abode, dog, and kids and wife Now that I have become an abstract devotee.

ber. Located at 3512 Clayton Road. in Concord, California, the new yard is

orvned bv "PoD" Lombardi and a

whole "ciew" of^ Lombardis, including Louis. Gerrv and Frank Lombardi. Frank, an e[ual owner with the rest of the family, is general manager of Contra Costa's newest lumberyard operation.

Clayton Valley Lumber is located on a company-owned three acre tract which is completely graveled for mechanical handling. The business will concentrate on the walk-in trade and small contractors in the area. Emphasis will be on the merchandising of quality materials and personalized service, according to Frank Lom-

ffiff.

bardi.

"Pop" Lombardi has long been

identified with the retail lumber business in the Contra Costa area and he's had a big stake in the tremendous growth that the area has experienced since the end of WWII. Located in what should soon become the "hub" of Contra Costa County, Clayton Val-

ley Lumber and Building Materials should be a sure bet to continue Pop's winning streak in the retail building materials business.

Mognonimiry of Lumbermon Reworded This year's recipient of the annual Inglewood Civic Award for a "true and unselfish desire to make Ingle-

wood a better place in which to live," was well-known lumber veteran, Al Rogers.

The Award Dinner which was held Armistice D"y, November 11, cited Rogers for his life-long interest in vouth. He was resoonsible for donating materials to remodel youth centers in the area, establishing two scholarships for teenagers and attending hundreds of sponsored group meetings. Before his retirement a year ago Rogers was President and owner of the Hyde Park Lumber Company.

Wqlnut in Nolurol Finish Wins Consumer Poll \Alalnut, a traditional prestige wood for furniture, is favored in natural and lighter-than-natural tones these davs, according to a sampling of consumer preferences conducted recently by the American Walnut Manufacturers' Association.

Eight 16 by 24-inch walnut panels in a variety of finish tones and figured effects, were displayed in an association exhibit at the annual open house

of the Decorative Showrooms Guild said Donald H. Gott, secretary-manin Chicago's Merchandise Mart. The ager of the Association. event was open to the public. Visitors were provided with ballots for indicating the panel they preferred. The units were identified only by numbers. Top choice was a panel with an oil-type, close-to-the-wood finish in natural color. The panel, which had a restful, relatively subdued figure, was selected by more than 24 per cent of the nearly 1,000 persons who expressed a pfelerence. Second in popularity was a panel in I u s tro u s lighter-than-natural finish tone. It was chosen by 20 per cent of

the voters. The third place panel, also treated with a lustrous finish, was slightly darker than the number two selection but still lighter than natural. It rvas favored in 13 per cent of the ballots. Although the winning panel placed in the top three in a similar poll at the 1960 Guild open house, there was more widespread support for darker finishes,

"Corrsumer balloting in polls of this type is extremely valuable to the industry," Gott explained. "It often is a direction-setter for furniture manufacturers, retailers, decorators, architects and finish manufacturers." Because of its capacity for dispersing a pigment or stain without losing clarity of the grain, it can be offered in a wide range of finish tones from extremely light to very dark. Appeal-

ing effects can be achieved in the wood by cutting and matching to disPlaY figures in a variety of striking patterns.

ment buildings in nearly every poultry

and livestock enterprise is creating a new and growing demand for comconstruction in the farm market. Donent ^ W. L. Griebeler, agricultural field promotioll manager for the Douglas Fir Plyrvood Association, demonstrated the-accuracy of this thesis with a survey of tarm component construction presented to the Pacific Northwest section of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers. Griebeler also was chosen chairmanelect b1' the 328-member group at its annual-meeting, held at Boise. He will be program chairman for the 1962

and ovdrall section chairman in 1962-63.

"Farmers are showing an increased preference for package-type buildings rather than custom buildings," Griebeler said. "This is because the average farmer is getting to be less and less a 'do-it-yourselfer' in building as he devotes more time to his basic job of farming and management in an increasingly competitive business." Griebeler pointed out that the average farmer is now managing far more acreage than his father did. Griebeler described the growth of component building, with its increased speed and efficiency and the decrease

Second Advance Described Members of this nationwide, nouprofit organization draw on PFS for design help and technical assistance, and are required to produce plywgo{ building components under controlled, factory conditions. This results in manufactured buildings of high, known quality that merely need to be assembled.

Another adr-ance in farm building

r'vas described by Agricultural Engineer

Raymond C. Mitzner, a rnember of Griebeler's staff. Mitzner presented a paper on the development of a lumber and plywood rigid frame building system by Douglas Fir Plywood Association. This is a clear span technique using light lumber and joints that require no glue, but delivers farm buildings at a price well belorv $1 per sq. ft. W. H. Knight of Washington State University was elected chairman of the section lor 196I-62, succeeding L. R. Swarner of Idaho State Reclamation Bureau.

Thornburg's Builders ftl'srt Opened in Sqntq Moricr Well-knorvn area lumberman, Jack Thornburg, was scheduled to open Thornburg's Builders Mart in Santa n{aria during mid-February, as we went to press earlier in the month. The new business is located on a two acre tract, completely fenced, and will serr'ice builders and the shoulder trade rvith a complete line of building materials, hardn'are, including plumbing and electrical supplies. Buildings include a 1200 sq. ft. sholvroom vl'ith an additional 1600 sq. ft. adjoining warehouse, and a 5000 sq. ft. storage shed locatecl in the yard area.

timetested Boliden Salt pressure-treated lumber by McCormick and Baxter. Dollar for dollar, Boliden Salt pressuretreated lumber is your best bet for mudsills, posts, joists, framing members, patios, porchet, fences. Because of its proven protective

Automqtic Roofing Hqmmer-Like Hoving Three Hcrnds! Nail-Fast is a new automatic hanrmer that drives ordinary galvanized or aluminum roofing nails as fast as a nlan can swing it' The impact of each blow not only drives a nail but also feeds another nail into place uncler the hammer head ready for the next blow' There is no r-reed to hold or steady each nail by hand' Thus, the

user's left hand is freed for holding shingles or other materials' Any roofing nail from 7A" to 1,t4" long n-ray be used' and as many as si*ty nails may be driven with successive blows before reloading the nail magarir.te in the handle. Reloading is accomplished in a ferv scconcls with a loading device that comes with each hanrmer. (See photo inset)

Although designecl prirnarily for roofing, Nail-Fast is also useful for instaiiing tt.t"t"l luth and thin sheet nraterials such as flashing ancl gutters. It not only speeds production by eliminating time lost in plicing and starting naiis, but also enables the user to work with gloves on in cold weather. Nail-Fast is built for hard professional use with all working parts of hardened, chrome-plated steel' It is priced at $79'95 and manuiacturecl by Applierl Desigt-, Compar.ry, 1917 Central Avenue N' E', Minneaoolis 18.

thirdly-Books. In which third truly, the last invented, is a u'orth far surpassing that of the two others. \Mondrotts indeed is thi virtue of a true Book. Not like a dead citl- of stones, yearly crumbling, yearly.needing repair; more like a tiiled field, but then a spiritual field:

Buddho qnd Women

The laclies should accluaint themselves with Gautama

Buddha. \\'hy? Because he was the first woman suffragist' No follin'. The idea that woman first won equal rights

with men in the past few decades is for those rn'ho scorn ancient history. F-or Buddha, more than five hundred years

before Chrisi admitted women disciples into his f ree are democracl of spirit on equal -afterterms with the men. We havirrg three times refused tolcl that'he dih so orrly

to admit them. Like Caesar and the cro\\'n, that last offer was too much for him. But, although he recognlzed women's suffrage in his great and growing -organization, he took an awful slap at the ladies while doing s9' {9t he uttered the prediction that their preselce in lit Order would reduce the life of the Order by half,-for, he rvrote : "As when mildew falls on a field the rice is doomed, so when women leave the household life and join an Order, that Order shall not long endure." Wonder n'hat old G.autama would think if he could look the country over today' ancl witness our modern women, and their activities?

"Well, if it ain't my old dad," he said as he looked at the reflection.

Affolter, sales manager for the Wood Fibreboard Company of Albany, Oregon, producers of the new wood-formed board which was introduced a year ago. The California distributors are: Stanline, Inc., and Diamond W. Supply Company, both of Los Angeles; The lliggins Lumber ComPanY, San Francisco; Strable Lumber Company, Oakland; California Plywood Company, Emeryville; San Jose Plywood, Santa Clara; The Frost Ifardwood Lumber Company, San Diego; and Capital Plywood Company and GordonMacBeath Hardwood ComPanY, both of Sacramento.

Capital Plywood in Reno, Nevada, has also recently started stocking Duraflake. Another new distributor is the Decoratrim Company of Phoenix, Arizona. Available in carload or warehouse quantities, Duraflake can be obtained only through

the above distributors in their respective areas. All carry complete inventories, offering wide selections of sizes and thicknesses' Each of these distributors employs qualified technicians for assistance and advice in the use and applications of Duraflake.

Duraflake has distributors throughout the country, and sales of the product have increased so much in recent months, reports Af{olter, that the Albany plant is operating on a three-shift, around-the-clock basis, in order to keep pace with the demands for this ultra-smooth board. Wood Fibreboard Company is the first in

the United States to utilize the famous German-developed Bison system. This method has been used successfully in Europe for many years. Designed for use in all types of furniture,

cabinets and woodworking, Duraflake is also produced for underlayment purposes, and is 'acceptable for use in FHA-insured homes.

Outstanding features of Duraflake and

Duraflake Underlayment are the extremely smooth surfaces and stroug internal borrd

Quality Sorrthern Pine continues to wu1 frie"ds and influence lumber users throughout the country. For example, a Dallas retailer who had been stocking grade marked Southern Pine 2x4's commented to SPIB in-

spector, "It looks as if I will have to start siocking Southern Pine dimension in larger sizes because several builders are specifying grade marked SYP in these sizes and buying it elsewhere." Another dealer in Oklahoma remarked, "I don't see how we can get any that's better than the Southern Pine we've been getting lately." A South Carolina government project contractor compared Southern Pine to other species by stating, "Man,

My good friend, LarrY King,

in his letter published in the January 15th issue touched something that has been bother-

ing everybody in the lumber industry. Dodge published some figures for 1960 showing that th€ lumber industry had the smallest profit when compared to all the large industries in the U. S.

While both California State

and Federal laws prohibit sales at less than cost, and/or at un-

reasonably low prices, neither are prone to help an industry, because they think that the confrom sumer gets the benefit . the ruinous competition. However, the State law does permit private suits.

A recent volunre published bY the "Continuing Education of the Bar" (California) suggests

that the ruinous seller be talked to when he prices a commodity

at less than cost.

However, I feel that the Lum-

ber Merchant can do a great service to the industry if you will continue to publish letters concerning the poor profit picture in the lumber industry. SO,

Signifi cont Developments Noied

Inlrltish Porticle Boqrd Industry

One of the most significant developments in the short history of the British wood chipboard industry occurred recently. This was the entry of the industry into the British Plastics Federation. This move signifies that: I. The Group of Wood Chipboard and Particle Board Manufacturers has appraised the present state of the industry in relation to production, sales and potential; 2. The Group has noted the rapid expansion in world production and consumption of wood chipboard and'particle board and is concerned that Great Britain is not keeping pace with this trend; and 3. The future development of the industry in this country will rely to a large extent upon its successful co operation with the plastics industry.

The world picture of the industry is an encouraging one except

so far as it concerns Great Britain. Total world production of wood chipboard and particle board almost doubled in the years 1958 11d

1960, rising from about 1,500,000 cubic meters to nearly 3'000'000 cubic meters. This is a dramatic illustration of the speed at which new applications for the material are being developed, particularly in some European countries.

Unfortunately, this trend is not apparent in Great Britain where

production capacity is virtually static and where increasingly conpetitive conditions in the wood chipboard industry, aggravated by lh. f.llitrg off in demand from the furniture industry due to credit restrictions and the importation of cheaper materials have curtailed consumption of the British product. Britain's production capacity of 140,000 cubic meters this year is well behind that of West Germany, 1,100,000; France' 289,000; and Belgium, 252,0A0. It is expected that the British production capacity will remain comparatively small in 1962. The sales of plastic materials have increased significantly itr nrost European countries, including England, since 1958. It is the opinion of Frank C. Lynam, chairman of the Wood

Chipboard and Particle Board Group of the British Plastics Federation, that a great potential for the wood chipboard and particle board industry lies in the development of the combination of board and plastic materials. The entry of the wood chipboard industry into the British Plastics Federatior-r is denitely a step in this direction.

CATIFORNIA IU'IABER IAERCHANT

Precutfing Lumber Becomes Source of Real Profits TTRECUTTING LUMBER for home builders has become .F a source of real profits for the Lake Oswego Lumber Company, in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon. General Manager Dale Calhoun states that the precutting service started as a sideline, but it has doubled in just six months and by late autumn of this year was approaching 20 percent of lumber sales volume. "We're riding a rising trend," says Calhoun. "Precutting is the coming thing, and the retail lumberman can make money on it. He's giving the builder a valuable service, and definiie on-site savings. We're sold on it, and we're going in deeper in 1962." This retail lumberman is convinced there's additional sales volume in precutting, and that small and medium size yards can make it part of their operations. Lake Oswego Lumber is upgrading Utility and tr'conomy grades of Douglas fir and west coast hemlock lumber to a iemarkable degree. By skillful operation of its power saws, this yard winds up by tossing about five percent of its lumber in the wood box. Calhoun keeps an exact cost analysis. "On every 1,000 feet of lumber-we put through our precut department, we can tell you within 50 cents what we'll make on it," asserts this Oregon retailer. "There is some trial and error at the start, bui the experienced retail yard can gqt precutting to the break-even pbint in fairlv short order."

preculling service without big investment.

The builder pays $10 more per thousand for his precut lumber, but he can't buy lumber in the usual way and cut it for t'hat price on-site.'His higher hourly labor costs and unavoidable on-site waste and clean-up time amount to more than the difference.

Lake Oswego Lumber does no prefabricating for its

home builder austomers. It leases pait of its new 60 x 140 foot warehouse to a small-scale homes prefabricator, and

one corner to a small cabinet maker. Naturally, Calhoun supplies both with their raw materials and hardware. In recent weeks, the firm has added one more service for the builder : 2 x 4 studs predrilled for the electrical wiring.

With an ordinary heavy-duty handheld power drill, one of his crew bores one-inch holes in the newly-cut studs, five at a t'ime as they stack up on the rack.

New Booklet Exploins Fomily Fqllout Prolection The Douglas Fir Plywood Association has prepared a new 34-page brochure for family use entitled "Nuclear Fallout

and Family Survival." It is an excellent sales tool for lumber dealers interested in capitalizing on the increasing interest in fallout shelter construction. Civil Defense authorities predict that seventy-five per cent of the casualties resulting from a nuclear attack would be caused by radioactive fallout. This booklet explains in laymen's terms what fallout is, where it will fall, how long thi dangerous radiation will last and most important-how the family can protect themselves against it. Included in it are construction plans for DFPA-designed

about 100,000 feet At its peak -of the piant was turning out one man full time precut house framing, rvith a month and uo to three men at rush times. Actually, this modest-size yard goes beyond house f-raming as it- iqueezes all possible sJleable items out of the fii and hemlock dimension lumber it purchases. No plywood panels are precut. Eight-foot studs are the biggest single item in precutting, of course. Out of Economy grade 2 x 4's, the shop produces sttrds rated at Utility and better. The 2 x 4 stock also yields some 54-inch clears that are sold for use in poles for pup tents, and some four-footers that go to plywood mills for" use as stickers. Considerable pallet stock is turned out. A 2 x 4 will yield a 2 x 3-inch piece, plus one lath. Some 2 x 4's are cut entirely into lfth, making seven at a time. In the Portland area, demand for wood lath is greater than the sustained supply. Also, roofers buy quantities of short lath. Service to the builder is the key to the future for retail lumbermen, as Calhoun sees it. He refuses to take an order at a loss just to keep it, and thinks good product and -good service will assure 6is firm its sl-rare of the business in its suburban market. above ground and basement-type shelters and. study plans

for an-underground model. (Construction plans for the underground model are available from DFPA at 50c per copy.)

A iree sample copy of "Nuclear Fallout and Family Survival" will be sent to lumber dealers upon request from

Douglas Fir Plywood Association, 1119 A Street, Tacoma 2, Washington.- DFPA offers a I'olume price to interestecl dealers of $5 per hundred.

United States Plywood Corporation unveiled a new epoxy that the company says will do away with household adhesive problems, including the farniliar frustration of the housewife who pops that priceless plate that hubby repaired with the glue "that will

"The chief problem with the epoxies offered to the amateur thus far," says lVlonroe W. Pollack, U. S. Plywood's vice president in charge of sales," is that they required home compounding of two elements in such exact proportions that none but the skilled

chemist with an apothecary scale coulcl

Fantastic precautions have been taken by industries using epoxies to acl.rieve the cleanliness of bonding surfaces, exact measurements of the ingredients required and the optimum pressure needed to insure the gluing miracles that are coming to pass.

CRA Receives Honor The California Redwood Association's Garden Redwood booklet has won a Certificate of Exceptional Merit in The Producers' Council's 1961 Ideas for Home Builders Contest. Two CRA ads won honorable mention in their class. The ar'r'ards will be presented at the National Association of Home Builders convention in Chicago' The six builder-judges said the Garden Book "supplies good ideas usually ignored by builders'" The judges in an area of home design -reatc the plus that helps sell a home'" T-he went on, "it could help book won the highest award in Class III-"Literature that provides builders with deiign ideas to make their houses more attractive or more functional and thus more saleable." CRA's 1957 and 1958 Garden Books also won Producers' Council awards' The California Redwood Association was one of only six organizations to win more than one award in the contest. There were 173 cntries in all. The judges-half of whom also served in 1960-said that the euality of this year's entries exceeded that of last year's' "Extremely attractive," the judges called the CRA's two ads by Hong-Cooper and Harrington. The ads-titled "Redwood's charm and natural beauty" and "Although you may choose Redwood solely for its beauty" . . . won honorable mention in Class I-"Advertising products and of any type -for directed to consumers that promotes new homes." CRA advertisements won awards earlier materials this year in the Advertising Association of the West's All Western

Advertising Competition. The Ideis for Home Builders Contest is sponsored by the Producers' Council and the National Association of Home Builders in an effort to improve the quality and content of product literature and merchandising services directed to the home builder.

The expansion rvill permit Koppers to pressur-e ireat lumblr, poles, crossarms and plywood with its research-developed "Cellon'i treatment which uses liquified petroleum gas -in a pr.".rr. vessel to deposit the preservative chemicals in the fibers of the wood. The newly developed process makes it possible to achieve the A."p.tt fenltration of preservative chemicals -ever attained in the *ood pr.""rrring business and, at the same time, leave the wood surfaces completely clean.

Moreover, ;'C.llon" treatments already performed on many species of wood inciicate that the end product is far superior to that resulting from conventional treatments with similar preservative chemicals.

Tfre treated wood is unchanged in color or weight, in size, - in strength, in workability, and glueability. It can be readily clear fini.n.a'oi painted. The trcated wood is resistant to termites a'd decay. It ioes not leach, and does not require re-kiln drying' , Since "Cellon" treatment does not swell the wood, dry and fin-

ished-to-size parts may be treated without distortion or grainraising. Freshly cut green wood can also be readily treated' In making the announcement, lVIr. Grymes indicated that tests conducted so far give every evidence that 100/o penetration, of the pieservative is obiained in the treatment of Douglas fir poies' .He also emphasized that the new "Cellon" process will make possible

the fabrication of lumber and plywood after treatment-an operation never before practicable using conventional treatments' $13 Billion Spent On Home tmprovement qnd UPkeeP in l96O

Americans spent mori than $13 billion in 1960 for the upkeep and improvement of their dwelling places according to estimates released today by the Bureau of the Census, U. S. Department of -Commerce. This amount is equal to 75 percent of the sums spent in the same year for the new construction of all housing units; it brings the toial expenditures for all residential building (new .buildings and upkeep and improvement of existing buildings combined) to nearly $31 billion. A detailed report, the first in an entirely new quarterly series

covering .*p.nditu.es on residential additions, alterations, maintenancJ and repairs, and replacements, will be issued later this month. D.ata for this report was obtained from a representative sample of properties in the United States by a combination of per-

sonal interviews and mail surveys. The total outlays estimated for 1960 cover all residential properties-privately and publicly owned, nonfarm and farm, single and multi-family structures-and include the expenditures of owners and renters. Resident owners of single family structures spent $7,950 million' equal to 60 percent of the $13,120 million spent on all residential pioperties. All other owners spent a total of $4,774 million, and renters provided the balance of $395 million. Ownei-occupants of single family houses had expenditures which averaged $283 compared with an average of about $300 for upkeep and improvements by all property owners. This average, however, varied lccording to the number of housing units on the property and according to whether or not the owner lived on the property' Although multi-unit properties generally reported larger expenditure per property than the owner-occupied one-family properties, the average expenditure per housing unit was much smaller'
