EDITORJAL

Choos or Compromise?

rftHE LUMBER INDUSTRY was advised in mid' I February by the Department of Commerce that SPR 16-53, the'bible by which its standards are set, would be suspended by September- 15, 1966' uiess revisions Jcceptable to the public interest *"r" "gt""a to by an overwhelming majority of the indistry. In efiect, such action by the Depart' ment will leave the industry in chaos if a solution is not found.

We have just completed a study of the back' sround leading to this decision' Simplified Praci"" n""o**eidation (SPR) 16-53, was promul' eated bv the Commerce Department in 1953 upon i."o-rnlndution of the American Lumber Standards Committee (ALSC). This standard, because of .ttutp disagreement within the industry at that iirrr", aia not relate size to moisture content' The resuitant confusion in manufacture and use led the ALSC in 1962 to adopt the principle that size should be related to moisiure content' By 1964 a "*om*undud revision of SPR 16-53, approved by the ALSC, was transmitted to Commercg which submitted it to an acceptor list. While a majority .pp."u"a, Commerce determined a consensus had not been obtained.

---

Subsequently, in April 1965, a -reconstituted ALSC of ZS members was appointed' In December' it presented to Commerc" u ptopot"d revision of SPil 16-53 embodying the size/moisture content Drecept. which had the endorsement of 19 of the i3 -L.b".. of the Committee. The result was the suspension, by Commerce as of September 15, 1966, of SPR 16-53, coupled with the -assurance that the ALSC's proposed revision would shortly be nromulgated to the acceptor list' If a consensus is ieached] as seems likely, SPR 16-53 (revised)' or with a new number, will become the new testament,

Objections to the revised proposal have- come mai.rly from two sources. One of them is right in our backyard in southern California, where there is some doubt that 6 45/64" green board (which develops from resawing the new proposed green

standard of. I'35/64") could comPete -with 3/{' piy**a roof sheathin,g ot r/'/' plywood- subfloor' 'ing. R"""rr, tests by NeHS,-Nfpe and WWPA de"monstrate that strength characteristics and de' fl""tion performance oI-|/e" dry boards are equiva' il;; ir better than 3/{' plywood roof sheathing ';;--W' subflooring. l' 4slou' green board dries tt {ft' pi"*p. Wi b"li"rn" there can be no real "UiJ"li"ti from those who derive a good profit from this item. A start now in gaining code revision ;lli ;;t dividends tomorrow. Surelv, the .South' l*a'J t.u"y lumbermen will be able to effect a workable compromis" with their local code author' ities. Acceptance of the new standards will improve ;;- r;1" olf lu-b"t, because more lumber will be sold as a result thereof'

The only other objection of conseguence has b"* ."ri"* of rear guard actions by an Oregon transit wholesaler who, mistakenly we believe' ap' "".*if" envisions the loss of a currently favorable i"-p"iiti"" position for himself and his controlled oroa'u"ti"". ile hat presented the ALSC, at various ii-*, *irft no less than three difierent prop-osals' """"'tt which embody the principle of relation of size to moisture content-for which he voted "t th" first meeting of the ALS subcommittee "all"d to consider ihe problem' These machina' tions (and they continue) would almost -be amusins to watch if they were not so harmful to the e;eat industry of which this gentleman is an in' tegral and significant Part.

hh" ALSC, representing manufacturers of all species, inspection agencies, wholesalers, retailers, aichitects, engineers, contractors' millwork manufacturers, horie builders' consumers, and (ex officio) many branches of the government, is, with the exceptions noted, solidly behind the new standards'

Thus Commerce, in efiect, has told us they are unsatisfied with present standards, but are satisfied with the proposed revision. If the industry and its customers fail to vote affirmatively we will be thrown into chaos by suspension of SPR 16-53' The industry has arrived at a good workable compromise which will benefit all sectors from tree owner to consumer and taxpayer. We suggest unanimous support from the acceptor list.

Chaos or compromise! Take your choice.

WRLA's 63rd

HEN WRLA SAID this year's convention would be bigger and better than ever before, it was no idle statement designed to lure the unwary. The fact is, it turned out to be the gospel.

It seems that this 63rd annual 'Western Exposition staged by Western Retail Lum' bermans Association turned out to be something of a record-setter.

A record number of registrants and a record number of exhibitors made this ex' position the association's best ever and the object of a number of compliments for both organization and oPeration'

More than 2,200 registered in Portland's massive new Memorial Coliseum for entry and a look at the more than 125 exhibits. Some of the displays were so comprehensive that they used two, three, even eight show stands.

Februory 3-5, 1966

Elected new president for 1966 was Ansel E. Hyland of Eugene Planing Mill in Eugene. He replaces Ray Blackstock of Blackstock Lumber in Seattle. Ray's father had also been president of WRLA, which has 400 regular members and more than 50 associate members. The group covers Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Alaska. Jim Hayes of Boise, Idaho, was named first vice president and Homer Greer of Sunnyside, Washington, is the new second vice president.

"A Circus o{ Ideas" was the convention theme and when Ray Blackstock cut the ribbon and led in a baby elephant to the accompaniment of a brass band, streamers flying, it was like being back in the center ring at Barnum & Bailey's.

The circus theme also included free hats for everyone, clowns, peanuts and popcorn and all the rest, but more importantly it

served as a backdrop to present new products and new ideas and marketing techniques to the dealers.

Set up adjacent to the displays was a small ring and bleachers and there, under

the tutelage of Ringmaster Ernie Nailor of Nailor Lumber Co. in Port Angeles, Wash. various manufacturers and distributors gave five minute check-outs of their products. Presentations were made both Friday and Saturday afternoons.

The first of the Friday business sessions had a scheduled talk ';American Soeiety and the Communist Future" by a speaker named Dr. I. V. Alexandrov. His talk started quietly enough, but it certainly didn't stay that way long, particularly as he lauded communism and ran America into the ground. Some of the audience were about ready to climb the wall until they were let in on the secret. It seems that Alexandrov is really professional speaker George Velliotes and his gimmick is riling up audiences. And is he good at it!

The need for efrective communications by Montana State Professor Burl ITinchester rounded out the morninE session. The well-attended W'estern Round"up Mixer at the Portland Hilton that evening per. formed its stated task with cordial ease.

A panel discussion on lumber and buildit g materials marketing kicked-off the Saturday business sessions. Panelists were Jack Parshall, Building Supply News, George V. Stein, NLBMDA and Wes Wise,

Dynamic speaker and marketing expert W. Heartsill Wilson then spoke to the dealers on how they could efiectively use the communications and marketing tips he offered.

The big social event of the exposition was the concluding get-together on Saturday night, the annual dinner dance and show.

Headlining this year was Rusty Draper and a troupe of dancers, but for humoro the prize will have to be divided between Ray Blackstock and Ansel Hyland, retiring and incoming presidents respectively. They got so many appreciative laughs with their gentle humor, it was enough to make one wonder if perhaps they were two gentlemen who missed their true calling.

Association manager Ross Kincaid and his right-hand men Felix Johnson and Arnie Kirkebo and Alfred E. Palumbo, exposition chairman, and his wife who handled the distafi side all should take deep bows for this year's exposition.

No doubt about it, first class, all the way.

f'fiHE FORWARD'LOOKING Lumber

I Merchants Association of Northern California, tired of flying by the seat of its pants, a year ago appointed a market' ing and distribution committee charged with developing pertinent facts from its membership, designed to -help all do a better job-(read-rnake more money).

Homer Hayward, that well-known Salina.s father, golfer and H4yward Lumber's boss, chaired the committee, with the able assistance of members Lloyd Carter, Sterling Lumber; Budd Hubbard, Hubbard & Johnson; Lyle Schafer, Minton's, and Steve Yeager, Yeager & Kirk. They developed a searching questionnaire coveri"S (f) self analysis, (2) future goals, and

(3) supplier analysis.

, On the basis of replies from half of the LMA membership some mighty interesting information was developed, to wit:

(l) In business:

more than 20 years under 10-19 years I0 years

Same ownership: tnore than under 20 years lI-19 years I0 years

s6.4% 2s% rL.S%

(3) Same location: more than und,er 20 years lI-19 years I0 years

ffi.zvo ISvo 8%

The figures sent in by northern California dealers of LMA regarding annual sales volume show tlat nearly eight percent have an annual sales volume in excess of one million dollars. The breakdown is: Annual sales volume: und,er $200,000 $201,000-#399,000

2Ls% 2r.s% $4100,000-$700,000 $700,000-$I million 30.8% rg.s%

More than $1 million

7.7%

\ffhile many of the figures show that the individual features of a business tend to expand as the business grows larger, this is certainly not true in all cases. In tlle

MORE seeks the way to SALES O

data on space utilization in the box on this page we see that the dealer who does $700 thousand to $I million in annual dollar sales actually has more total property than the firm that does more than one million dollars yearly.

There has been a lot of discussion re' garding the influx of cash and carry oper' ations, plus wholesale predictions that it was the wave of the future that would shortly engulf all retailers, but the survey seems to indicate otherwise. For the fact is that of those who sent back their an' swers to the surveyos questionnaire, fully 93/q ofr.er delivery service. And in eight out of ten cases, no charge is made for the service. In the survey, only twenty percent of those responding were classified as cash and carry yards.

In the northern California area, component manufacture doesntt seem as widespread as in the southern part of the state. None make wall panels and only a miniscule 3.7/o fabricate trusses. Eleven percent assemble door units.

Credit is an important sales toQl and a"co,rrrts for nearly three quarters -ofall sales. Slightly *otl than half the dealers analyze their sales by costs' Sixty percent work out a monthly operating statement'' while the balance get around to it once a vear.

The biggest customer the dealers polled had was-ihe contractor, who made uP 45.6% of sales. Homeowners were next, accounting for 36/o of the sales' Farmer sales mad"e up ten percent and industrial' commercial was smallest with 7 '5/a of sales. Four out of ten dealers have outside salesmen calling on contractor€, while only three out of ten have their salesmen call' ing on industrial accounts. "A ,"ul note of anxiety crept into the responseft when dealers were asked about their personal role in the business in the comirrg years. Almost five percent blithely replieJ ihat th"y expected to go out of burin".s this vear. Another faint-hearted (Coniinueil on Page 74)

The annual three-day convention at palm Desert, Calif., was aiso the scene of a prevue of the association's new symbol designed by Walter Landor & Associates of San Francisco. This new IHPA svmbol will be used much as those used by the United States plywood industry to promote buyer confidence and product uniiormity.

Another potential boost to the imaee of IHPA as a truly national organization- was the possibility of attracting irembers from other imported hardwood products groups by lurther diversifying IHPA's e*isting

servlces.

ooAt this convention," Smith told the Bloup, o'We have provided the requisites which could bring together members of other associations into a national entitv. which when finalized, will be called the Imported Hardwood Products Association. If this is achieved, IHPA would then be the broad base for membership by all firms presently importing hardwood pioducts of all kinds." Up to this time IHPA has concerned itself only with imported hardwood plywood, veneers, core stock and hard. board.

Another big hurdle was cleared at the loth annual convention when the member-

ship approved the rough draft of IHPA's Commercial Standards for imported hardwood plywood, authored by Tom Parker. Final formulation of the Commercial Standards is now under way for submission to the United States Department of Commerce. If approved by the Department, the relatively new imported hardwood plywood industry will have its first true Com-

mercial Standard afiecting all imported hardwood plywood products.

Although the three days produced nu. merous excellent speakers, standout talks were given by Clark McDonald, managing director of the Hardwood Plywood Manufacturers Association; IHPA attorney Myron Solter of the firm of Sharp, Soiter & (Continued on Page 72)

Federql Pork Plqn Reveqled

Some two months after it was promised, the Johnson adminis' tration has taken the wraps off its plan for a national redwood park.

It has proposed legislation to establish a two-unit'45,000 acre park, and is supported by Calif. Gov. Edmund G. Brown and Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel (R.-Calif.). The proposal calls for a 43,392-acre unit in Del Norte County and a separate 1,400'acre unit in Humboldt county, including tlle tallest trees in the world ranging up to 367.8 feet in height.

The -Miller Redwood Co. would lose about lB,00O acres and the Simpson company, 896 acres. Other private holdings in the proposed park area total about 5,800 acres. The proposal calls fo, "t immediate start on development of the park to provide jobs for displaced lumbermen. President Johnson's budget for itt" tZ months beginning July 1 includ"s $I0 million to start land acquisition.

The area would be about half the size advocated by the Sierra Club and proposed in bills introduced last year by Rep. Jeffery Cohelan, (D-Calif.) and February 23, by 15 Democratic senators headed by Sen. Lee Metcalf (D-Mont.).

Kuchel introduced the administration bill in the Senate and Rep. Don H. Clausen (R-Calif.) introduced it in the house.

Brown expressed his support in a telegram to Kuchel, saying the administration had adopted their joint recommendations for protecting the communities that would be affected by the park.

Brown said the administration's proposal represents an $84 million package over a five-year period.

"This," he said, "is by far the largest proposed federal invest' ment in a park in our history, and it is the most that reasonable men can expect to achieve."

The administration's bill includes provisions for payment of $342,000 a year for five years in econornic adjustment aid to the California counties to compensate for loss of tax revenue. The figure was arrived at in negotiations between federal and state officials.

Acquisition costs of new land to be included in the park was estimated by the Interior Department at $56,850,000, including $54,167,950 for timber land owned by the Miller Redwood Co. and the Simpson Timber Co.

The Del Norte park area would include the Jedediah Smith and Del Norte Coast Redwood state parks, totalling about 14,0fr) acres.

The plan calls for a $19 million investment in park facilities, $16 million in the first five years, including more than $2 million in the first year for roads and trails, buildings and utilities.

The bill as drafted proposes donation to the federal government of the state park lands, an action that would require approval of the state legislature.

The federal government would purchase for about $4 million redwood stands {or addition to the existing Prairie Creek and Humboldt Redwood parks, as recommendei by th" State Park Commission.

In addition the federal sovernment would transfer to the state the Muir Woods National Monument as a unit of the Tamalpias State Park and some 31,000 acres of the Kings Range area west of Humboldt State Park.

Foresf Service Fire Record

Forest fires which started in the National Forests in 1965 were better-controlled than ever before, according to figures just re' leased by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In fact, acreage burned was the lowest in the 60-year history of the Service.

Other records in managing National Forest resources were shattered, too. Timber cut hit an all-time high; the largest timber sale in history was made in Alaska; more trees were planted than ever before, and recreation visits continued to rise.

AINT HEART NEVER won fair dividends. The man who doesn't believe he can--+eldom DOES.

Self-confidence is the general manager-the pusher-the director-of the master mind. It decides the thing that CAN be done-and drives and inspires the man to do it. It is the breeder of courage; the foundation of resolve, the stimulator of energy and genius. It reveals in competition; sneers at gifts; o'poohpoohs" the insurmountable; just goes along bull-headedly and does the things that folks say can't be done.

Ten fingers, or," *hoi -irrd, *on. ao.rit-proof heart, and oNE GOOD BACKBONE is all that any man ever needed to do ANYTHING. If there ever was a time in your life when you had a chance to achieve something big-it's NOW. Yesterdays are never as wonderful as tomorrows. The world keeps on. It progresses-doesn't backslide. You may have whatever your performance deserves. The only patent on possession is merit and service.

Before you say there isn't a chance, that it can't be done, that money is too tight, that the obstacles are too great, take a look at the telescope and see if you aren't looking through the wrong end.

BY JACK DIONNE

Severe men, ovetbearing men, strongly self-opinionated men, ungenerous menare NEVER great men, and seldom does a man possess any of these characteristics who can claim to be a BIG man. Seldom indeed.

I've always liked the words of this little rhyme-the authorship of which I have no idea:

I'd rather have it said of me

When this old journey's through

That on my way I tried to be

A friend to all I knew

Then have it said I gathered gold

And then have voices lall

Because they knew when that was said

That they had said it all

I'd gladly pass along my way

When my time comes to die

If everybody said of me

He was a friendly guy.

NEW MOBITE DISPTAY

Takes the product to the prospects

A N INTERESTING NEW idea for show- fl ing building products in a simulated environment, which can be taken to the very door-step of prospects, has been unveiled by the Ed Fountain Lumber Company in Los Angeles, originators of the mobile pecky cedar display.

The unit, which is built around a Cortez mobile home, presents the product in both interior and exterior applieations. It also uses illustrated panels to demonstrate how Lam-Loc pecky cedar is produced and includes a section on finishing techniques.

Since the product is rather unusual and has so many applications which are sometimes hard to visualize, Fountain decided that an actual miniature home would be the answer. This way the message could be graphically presented to architects, builders, decorators, dealers and the general public at home shows and fairs throughout the country.

The result is a very attractive presentation with the various pecky cedar surfaces, smooth, re-sawn and sandblasted, shown in an inviting environment similar to home and commercial uses. Planters, paintings,

furniture, indirect lighting and an attractive little bar add interest and give the display a luxurious feel. There are many finishing ideas and one section of pull-out (Continued, on Page 71)

Down River qnd Mid-Sierrq Merge

The Down River Packaging Corporation, with converting plants at Wayne, Michigan and Stockton, California, and the Mid' Sierra Lumber Company of Stockton, have announced that their productive facilities will be combined.

The agreement also calls for a phase'in merger between the two firms.

Down River produces "Dor'Kor,t' ex' pandable corrugated honeycomb used extensively in the hollow core door industry as the sandwich material. Mid'Sierra man' ufactures the complete wood frame and oth' er specialized interior components for the same industries.

Under terms of the agreement, customer€ may order combined carloads of cut stock frame section and o'Dor-Kor" fillers to be shipped together from Stockton. This will allow tighter inventory control by the user and more flexibility in ordering and releas' ing, according to the company.

Plans call for the immediate relocation o{ Down River's Stockton plant to land adjacent to Mid-Sierra in Stockton. The site is serviced by three major West Coast railroads and is less than a mile from the Port of Stockton.

Jim Frutchey, the president of Los-Cal Lumber Co. has announced a change in policy for the Los Angeles wholesale lumber company.

Their distribution yard will be leased and as of now Los-Cal is handling direct mill shipments, with milling facilities available at point of delivery when requested or necessary.

"We represent a number of good, solid mills throughout the Pacific Northwest and are concentrating our efforts on direct shipments," said Jim. "We have long been recognized as pine specialists but we'll also concentrate on all species of Pacific Coast softwoods." he continued.

Duol Associqtion Meet in Son Diego

The National Woodwork Manufacturers Association and Ponderosa Pine Woodwork met at the Hilton Inn iir San Diego during early February. These two organizations complement each other.

NWMA, 39 years old, has been responsible over the years for setting standards and conducting research for its national membership of sash and door manufacturers. PPW, with a budget in the neighborhood of $500,000, devotes itself exclusively to pub' licity and advertising. Between them, these two associations have contributed much over the years to better engineered wood and a greater understanding of wood's uses and advantages in millwork. sash and doors.

Retiring NWMA President E. C. Swanson, who is also president of Anderson Corporation in Bayport, Minnesota, gave 120 delegates from all over the U. S. a comprehensive rundown on the association's accomplishments past and present. Particularly impressive was the. vigorous manner in which they have fought product boycotts by carpenters and others. A recent victory in a Philadelphia door boycott case was national significance. President Swanson also pointed with pride to the recent publication of the NIVMA, 450 page book, "Millworh," a bible for the industry, specifiers, colleges, trainees, etc.

We caught a glimpse of NWMA members Charlie and Jim Strait, Strait Door & Plywood, El Monte, accompanied by Laurent Wilkinson. Also in attendance were Bud Critchfield and Joe Reese, California Wood Products, Santa Rosa; Greg Clarke, Collins & Aikman, Los Angeles; Bob Ahrens and John Hawley, Diamond National, Chico; V. E.

Lumber Output Increoses

Latest lumber production figures show that December was at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 40.1 billion board feet which was 8.2 percent above the rate for the previous month and 10.5 percent above the rate of December a year ago, the National Forest Products Association has reported.

Softwood output accounted for 33.3 billion board feet, a rise of 8.2 percent over November and nearly l0 percent over December 1964. Hardwood production, at 6.8 billion board feet, also rose 8.2 percent over November and was l4.I percent above the year-ago level.

Total lumber shipments in December were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 39.9 billion board feet-6.1 percent above the previous month and 14.1 percent above December a year ago.

Softwood shipments, amounting to 33.4 billion board feet, showed an increase oI 8.2 percent above November and were 16.9 percent over December 1964. Hardwood shipments of 6.5 billion board feet, declined nearly four percent from the previous month but rose 1.5 percent over December of last year.

U.S. Ply Buys Another One

U.S. Plywood Corp., continuing its acquisition program, has arranged to purchase the assets of West Coast Plywood Corp., Aberdeen, Wash. for stock.

U.S.P. will swap 109,000 of its shares, with a recent market value of $5.6 million, for West Coast Plywood's assets, including a plywood plant and about 150 million board feet of timber in Washington. The timber includes cedar, hemlock, Douglas fir and spruce.

Directors of both companies approved the proposed transaction, but authorization of West Coast's shareholders is still required.

WfHILE Tarter, Webster & Johnson is YY known to most western lumbermen as a sales company, to some 2@ sawmills in the Pacific Northwesl TW&J is better known as a buying organization.

As an outgrowth of it reputation, TU/&J customers many years ago started looking to this division as a source of wood products not manufactured by its associated sawmillsparticular species and specialty products, primarily.

These requests, and the subsequent need to develop additional sources of supply for the TW&J wholesale distribution yards (nine in California, one Arizona), resulted in establishing arbout 15 years ago an office in Redding, California to acquire the needed products from northern California, portions of Oregon and the coastal redwood region sources.

This activity has regularly expanded and two years ago was supplemented with the opening of a second buying office at Eugene, Oregon.

Virgil Mastelotto, a veteran of 15 years with TW&J, is in charge of the Redding buying office. He is assisted by Lowell Ambrosini who came to Redding in 1963 following four years at the TW&J distribution yard at Fresno.

The responsitbility of this office extends from all northern California, including coastal mills, through the timbered areas of eastern Oregon.

Bob Nielson, who joined TW&J upon opening of the Eugene office, purchases from the mills in western Oregon, the state of Washington and at times up into Canada.

All three find that much of their timehalf or moreis taken up in visits to inspect mills. To buy well it is necessary to

have intimate knowledge of a sawmill's manufacturing capabilities, the type of logs being sawed, the availability of par' ticular grades and species. Consequendy major mill sources of supply are visited at least once a month; and over the course of a year perhaps a hundred or more saw' mill, plywood and remanufacturing plants are visited by one or more of these TW&J representatives,

The purchases they make for company distribution yards and customers will, on the average, exceed 200 million board feet a year.

Boise Gets Electron Process

Boise Cascade has an exclusive, three-year agreement with Ford Motor Company to apply a Ford-developed process for electronbeam curing of paint coatings on wood products, according to a joint announcement by the two firms.

The process hardens the coating and simultaneously chemically bonds it with the material to which it is applied. The paint not only coats the material but actually becomes part of it. High energy electron 'beams initiate the bonding and curing step.

The Ford-Boise process eures the paint in less than six seconds at room temperature, eliminating the need for expensive curing ovens.

Boise Cascade intends to use this process to develop maintenance-free, low-cost, pre-painted building materials including ex' terior siding, pl1'wood, wood particleboard, and Insulite wood fiber exterior siding, all produced by them'

S ATHLETES ARE quick to tell you, setting a new record gives them mixed emotions. They are elated with attaining goal, but they also realize they rnust do a previously unreached even better the next time because it is expected of tht'm.

The reason this comes to mind is LMA's fast-approaching annual convention which will ,be held May I-3 at Harvey's Wagon Wheel at Lake Tahoe. As most dealers and suppliers will remember, our 25th annual convention at Monterey broke all attendance records and was judged the o'best ever" by those in attendance.

BEIIERIIIG THE existing record is always a problem, as Bob McBrien points out this month.

It's my firm conviction that the 1966 LMA Convention will again be 'othe biggest and best svsr"-$/i1lr your support. Months of planning will culminate with President Charlie Darr's welcoming speech on May 1, and we hope that you and your associates will be on hand to hear it and participate in our excellent program.

Convention Chairman Hamilton Knott of Yosemite Lumber spent two days at Tahoe recently meeting with officials of Harvey's and making arrangements for the social side of the program with Convention Host Chairman Charles Cross, Sr., Truckee-Tahoe Lumber.

Both of these gentlemen and their committees are taking valuable time from their personal business enterprises to help you. They are pleased to do so for they know that a healthy, progressive retail lumber industry is good for everyone involved. They ask only your support and attendance at the conveniion for their time and effort.

As I write this column, I have fresh in mind the better than 2000-person turnout for the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association Convention just held in Portland. This is a full-blown trade show which attracts members from a four-state region and which this year won attendance from lortheT California.

No matter how many conventions any of us attend each year, we never fail to go home with ideas that can help to improve our activities. We get some of these ideas from noted convention speakers, others from suppliers who have new products and materials to tell us about, and still others from talk sessions that seem to occur most anyplace.

LMA's convention committee promises you while ideas-plus a good time with your fellow time is May I-3, the place is Lake Tphoe and will be out. Circle the dates today and make be with us as we head into another quarter conventions.

Treated Poles Solve Problem

One of the finest stretchs of unspoiled beach on the California coast presentt'd serious problems to the developcrs oI Place de Mer, until pressure-treated polt'-tvpe con,qtmction was considered.

Thc clifi sloped to the beach belon' at .15 to 15 degree angles. This, plus sandy soil. made conventional-type footing impossible. reports the builder, J. H. Hed' rick Co.

The site. nine miles south of Santa Cruz, is a planned-unit development of 4'1' row' houses for vacation purPoses. The homes, ranging 20 to 30 feet above the beach. would have required financially unfeasible foundations using anything other than pole-type construction. With conventional post-girder design, tying footings together on the 1:l slope would have been difficult; and either a large expanse of wall or many bracing cross members would he obviously unattractive from the beach frontage" developers felt.

Baxco-Chemonite pressure-treated pole-s, supplied by J. H. Baxter & Co., were chosen. The poles serve also as framing and roof support members.

Lots were designed 20'wide by 52'deep for the two-story homes; poles were placed on l0-foot centers.

Problems during construction centered on the sandy soil; maintaining vertical cuts for the poles when the sand dried was not practical. so metal shields were

used to maintain the cuts. Each pole was placed on a l-ft. concrete pad 15 ft. deep, and the remainder of the cut filled with soil cement. Shields were removed for reuse.

The rowhouses were constructed in I0unit groups; poles were secured laterally with 4"x14" timber. and longitudinally with 3"x8". On the second-story, entrance level. poles were secured laterally with 6"x12" timbers to lJ' diameter concrete piers; these timbers supported the joists, 28-gauge corrugated steel, and 4" concrete (Continued' on Page 58)

Tree Fqrms Are 25 YeErs Old

The forest industry Tree Farm program, possibly the greatest sustained conservation effort ever conducted under private auspiceg will pass the quarter-century milestone this year.

It developed from the concept of growing timber as a renewable crop implied in the name "tree farm" first given to a producing industrial forest at Montesano, Wash., in 1941. Today there are nearly 30,000 Tree Farms with nearly 67 million acres certified throughout the nation.

Looking back to,{ay, the nation's private tree farmers are adding up what has been achieved in the past 25 years. Items:

o The U.S. turned an historic corner in the relationship of growth to removal in the producing forests. The latest government survey shows that America's forests are now growing wood 6l per' cent faster than it is being harvested or lost to natural causes. Providing for tomorrow's growing timber needs remains a challenge, however.

o Forest fires have been reduced to a small fraction of their former threat. In 1941, fires raged over 26.4 million acres of forests in the U.S. exclusive of Alaska. ln 1964 by contrast, fires burned Iess than 4.2 million acres, this time including losses in Alaska,

o In 1941, the Society of American Foresters numbered something more than 2,000 professional foresters, nearly all of them government employees. Today the SAF counts some 17,00O members, about half of whom are employed by industrial tree farmers.

o Trees were planted on 470,000 acres of burned or barren land in 1941. In 1965 there were nearly 1.3 million acreg reforested by man. Private lands accounted for more than 900,000 acres of the total.

o In a nation increasingly concerned with enhancing natural beauty, the tree farmer is protecting the forest, keeping it healthy and in a vigorous growing condition.

. Foresters point out that the side benefrts of tree farming are better access for hunting, fishing and picnicking, better wildli{e habitat, better watershed conditions and a continuing source of tax revenue for the community.

Take a trip into a tlpical Tree Farm and the impressions you collect add up to a picture of protection and growth. The road system itself, poking fingers of access into all sections of the property, is a basic element of the tree farmer's protection and develop' ment plan. It permits him to do forestry work anywhere, speed firefighters to any part of the forest and, as a side benefit to visitors, open the land to greater recreation potential.

The visitor is likely to see areas where diseased or insect-ridden trees have been removed, overcrowded stands thinned to give the best trees more growing room, barren land reforested and whitened snags felled in burned-over areas to remove fire hazards.

The tree farmer has been called a practicing conservationist. What he does is beine called "creative conservation."

Steel Eyes Building Morket

The full weight of United States Steel's research and marketing resources is being focused on products used in construction of homes and light commercial structures with the formation of a Residential Tech Center.

"For tlte first tirne, a basic steel firm has a research facility specifically designed to identify, analyze and solve significant problems facing the building industry," Bennett S. Chapple, Jr., of U.S.S. said.

"Our determination to discover builders' problems through our marketing efiorts will be backed up by the full facilities of the Tech Center, where we can call on the vast research resources available."

Tangible results of work carried out at the U. S. Steel research facility are embodied in a fully-instrumented, two-story headquarters structure which incorporates a number of the innovations in- home building products which have emerged from the laboratories devoted to residential construction component development.

Included in the building are such products as structural wall panel systems, both interior and exterior, a thermal-acoustic ceiling suspended on steel runners, steel doors, and new approaches to structure support systems.

Super Tree Developments

Millions of super forest tree seedlings are becomine available for planting by tree farmers and othei forest owners"and these should upgrade eventually the quality of the nation's forest resource, says the chief {grester of the American Tree Farm System, James C. McClellan.'

'oSeed orchards of superior trees, established in recent years by both the forest industries and state agencies, are now blgin- ning to produce substantial seed crops,', MeClellan said.

"In 1965 industry and state nurseries for the first time grew millions of seedlings of superior form, growth, quality wood and resistance to disease."

McClellan said that to insure the maximum number of trees, most of last year's superior seed will be used for growing seedli-ngs in nurseries and will not be used in direct see-cling piojects. He explained that when areas are direct-seeded by pline, marry more seeds are required to reforest an area than whln seedlines are used. This is because many do not live in the field.

Second Homes Get Ad Boost

Building materials dealers interested in selling products for second home construction will be able to take advantase of a special seven-month national adv-ertising campaign sponsored by Western WooJ Products Association and American Plywood Association.

The joint campaign by the two associations involves full-page four color advertisements in Sporfs lllustrated, plus full merchandising back-up.

The campaign is being kicked off this month with a message from WWPA stressing that investment in a second home is sound financially as well as glamorous. During April, the plywood asiociation's first ad will point out that money invested in a European trip would be much more wisely spent in a "lasting" vacation home.

A dealer merchandising program is a key element in the program. A special 12page booklet has been prepared by Sports Illustrated, and sent to more than 10.000 dealers around the country. The booklet contains market information on second homes and information on the availabilitv of plans and second homes point-of-sall material from each participating association. Dealers not receiving copies of the booklet may obtain them from either association.

Article on Wood Use

"Wood and You" is the title of an article in the 1966 House and Garden Plans Cuide by Joseph

F. Schram of Los Altos.

The report details every use of wood in new home construction and remodeling.

According to Schram, more than f0,000 b.f. go into the average new home, with more and more emphasis being placed on engineered wood which is glue-laminated. Prefinished wood of many species is also being used at an ever-increasing rate because of its durability and low-maintenance factor.

A major portion of the article is presented in chart form to enable the reader to determine the specific types of wood

and wood products available for such residential applications as: ceilings. built'ins and cabinets, doors, walls, structural mem' bers, flooring, etc.

According to the author, this report is a complete roster of a basic home material, its types, sizes and uses. Schram is widely known in the construction industry.

Freeway Lumber already had Norwalk's only patio shop, so the transition to a garden shop was a natural one. Owner Paul simply installed a fenced-ofi area at

the front of the store and laid in a complete stock of garden supplies, ranging from Juniper bushes to flower seeds to manure.

Low Cost Fibergloss Goroge Door

To satisfy the demand for a low cost fiberglass gatage door, an attractive onepiece unit has been designed and put in production by Taylor Garage Doors.

Translucent Tedlar permits improved penetration of light, but retards heat accumulation under awnings up to 70/o mot:e etrectively than conventional awning materials, according to Du Pont research.

The protective film prevents surface erosion and fiber exposure three to six times better than conventional fiberglass panels and therefore the surface remains smooth and prevents dirt collection. The only maintenance required is an occasional hosing down.

The do-it-yourself awnings and canopies -which can be installed in five minutesare available for most size doors and windows.

Eosily-lnstolled Closet Shelving Designed for Drywull or Ploster

Novoshelf, a time- and money-saving closet shelf installation system for use on dry wall or plaster, now is available from U.S. Plywood.

The new system, a combination of the company's Novoply shelving and a steel hanger bar, requires only two end brackets, yet an 8' Novoshelf will support 50 pounds per lineal foot.

The Novoply shelving comes sanded smooth on both surdaces, has no knots and cannot check, crack or grain raise, warp or bend. The steel hanger bar reinforces this strength and eliminates the need for center or back shelf supports. Novoshelf and the supporting end brackets are finished in a matching off-white prime coat,

Novoshelf is installed easily by driving the self-contained end cleats of the brackets into the wall and inserting screws in predrilled holes. After the adjustable Novoply shelf is cut to fit the desired length, it is dropped into place and tapped lightly to set it onto the bracket spurs. The adjustable section of the hanger bar is pushed firmly against the right wall and easily screwed into place.

Novoshelf is available in six adjustable sizes. Each package contains two complete shelves, end brackets and necessary screws.

Fire Roled Floors, Roofs

Plywood has been approved for one-hour, fire-rated floor and roof assemblies and is now included in 23 different systems listed by the Underwriters' Laboratories. The approval means architects, engineers and contractors will be able to take advantage of the economies of plywood in floor and roof systems where it was formerly ruled out.

In most of the listed assemblies, the floor consists of lz-inc}n C-D grade panels with exterior glue for subflooring, building paper and %-inch Underlayment grade tongue and groove panels. Various types of ceiling systems complete the assembly.

Most codes do not require the top layer of plywood and building paper when the assembly is used for one-hour roofs.

Tests on one-hour floor-ceiling assemblies were conducted for the American Plywood Association in accordance with the standard ASTM fire tests for building construction. These tests are accepted by all the model building eodes (Uniform Building Code, Basic Building Code, Southern Standard Building Code and National Building Code). Plywood's economies have been proven to

Poflqtch Adopts Finger Jointing

Potlatch Forests has announced adoption of a new process for end gluing lumber called impression finger jointing. The development uses a heated die to form a joint which tests show to be superior in strength to present methods used to join wood.

Impression finger jointing will enable Potlatch mills to end glue smaller pieces of lumber into longer, more useful sizes. One example cited is production of 2 x 6 and 2 x 8-inch lumber 32 feet in length or longer.

Lumber joined by impression finger joint more than matches the strength of lumber regularly used in housing and other construction. In a series of tension tesls on Common lumber grades, no piece has ever broken at the fing:er joint.

dealers on quality window performance. A study on condensation is of special im-

portance at this time, the association pointed out, because the tightly-built modern house and the increasing use of moisture-generating appliances is bound to raise the level of relative humidity. This higher humidity is healthful, and it prevents the "drying out" of furniture, But it also increases the possibility of condensation on windows.

Information provided by the calculator shows that at favorable levels of relative humidity the window treatment most likely to rule out condenSation is wood sash with either insulating glass or storm windows.

waiting rooms and other areas. Prefinished hardboard fills these specifications and another common requirement at reasonable cost, Marion observed. Commodity hardboards, of course, have wide applications, too.

For the first time, Masonite now is maki.tg Benelex 70 available to industry through its building products dealers, Marion said.

This extremely dense but light weight laminate, available in thicknesses from L/8" to 2t', is an ideal material for such industrial plant maintenance and operation uses as bench and table tops, storage pallets, shelving, gauge blocks, and even wheels for handcarts.

"Let's spell out some of the factory potential more specifically," Marion said. 'oFor example, the dealer in a small community has a great opportunity to capture this business. Small cities and towns have production facilities ranging from small to large. Industrial communities present an even greater chance for the lumber dealer to service the plants' maintenance, purchasing and office departments."

Each one thanks God for the knowledge and the skill that made a cancer cure possible. Each one is in debt to millions of neighbors who have been supporting the efforts of the American Cancer Society. More than a million are living today who have been cured of cancer.

A few years ago, it was possible to save only one in four victims. Now we are saving one in three. One in two could be saved, if we can only reach them in time. And ahead ofus : the permanent conquest ofcancer.

Lam-Loc pecky cedar is a natural lumber product from the California and Oregon high country. Its peck is the result of a fungus growth which stops the moment the tree is felled. Northwest lncense Cedar is among the world's most durable woods and ranks with redwood in its dimensional stability, resistance to decay and paint holding characteristics.

The patented Lam-Loc process makes the cedar easier to handle and eliminates any through-pecks which are found in the natural product. It is available in B', LU,12l widths s/o" thick, in specified lengths to 16r.

Plywood Gussel Trusses Rote Besl

Trusses fabricated with nail-glued plywood gussets are stronger and stifier than metal-gusset trusses, with less deflection under loads, according to the final report of a Michigan State University study conducted recently.

The tests were conducted to determine the load versus deflection characteristics of full-size trusses. (Trusses used for the tests were 26-foot-span W trusses with a 3/I2 pitch.)

Results of the tests showed creep deflection of the plywood-gusset trusses was negligible. In two of the metal-gusset trusses there was a 20 percent deflection, the third metal-gusset truss had a 15 percent deflection under the same loads.

Trusses built with plywood gussets proved to be considerably stronger and stiffer than the metal-gusset trusses. For purposes of comparison, plywood-gusset trusses were rated at 100 percent in strength and stifiness. On that basis, the other three trusses were rated at 73,73 and 57 percent for strength; all three were rated at 42 percent for stiffness.

All 2 x 4 lumber members in the trusses were nondestructively tested to establish their stifiness factors.

Plywood gussets used in the tests were 3f inches thick, nailed with 4d common nails on 4-inch centers and glued with casein glue.

Two of the metal gusset plates were .040-inch thick steel sheet and the third was .037-inch-thick steel sheet.

The Michigan State University formal laboratory report is entitled 'oEffect of Variables on Performance of Trussed Rafters.'o A booklet describing various types of plywood-gusset truss designs similar to those tested by MSU is available by writing to American Plywood Association" Tacoma. Wash. 98401.

WWPA Tops District Directors

Moterials Firm Closes

L. A. Material and Supply Co., southern California building material dealer firm for decades, has closed its' doors.

Andrew E. Crowell, company president, asserted, 'oL. A. Material and Supply Company commenced a complete liquidation of its business and in due course will dissolve its corporate existence. Our retirement from the building material supply business is entirely voluntary."

It is expected that a new corporation to be named L.A. Building Material Co., headed by two of the prior firm's employees, Vayne Blackstock and Merle Swanson, will take over any of the job commitments.

Hutchison; Don Short, vice president of Walter Landor & Associates; customs attorney Ned Glad, of Glad & Tuttle; Bronson Lewis, secretary of the American Plywood Association; and [. Barry Thompson, vice president, international department, United California Bank.

Hopeful of a government compromise, Glad told the group that a judge had ruled that overseas mill price, not selling price, should determine the basis of duty appraisement. Although the government has appealed, Glad was optimistic that a compromise agreement would be reached by this coming June.

In the field of predictions, Washington, D.C. attorney Myron Solter, told the group that he felt the Herlong antidumping bill had an excellent chance to come before Con-

gress this year. Also that there is a definite possibility of the United States imposing oPreferential Tariffs' on commodities imported from'underdeveloped countries.' Solter also pointed out that a recent U.S. Forest Service survey predicts a 22L/o increase in the use of hardwood plywood in this country by the year 2000 and quoted the report as estimating that domestic production capabilities could supply only a small part of this increase.

Although the convention produced many finer points too numerous to cover, it was evident that IHPA is on the verge of emerging 'as a truly national association not only concerned with legal representation in Washington, D.C., but also striving for uniform industry standards and practices, orderly marketing, and the merchandising of imported hardwood productg not just as a commodity, but for their exotic appeal and end use.

California Lumber Merchant

Gentlemen:

After forty-four years in the lumber industry, from woods swamper thru second assistant to the third assistant sales manager, and for the past thirty-five years as sales manager, I've decided to take a permanent vacation. (Twenty years with old Caldor, ten years with Hazel Valley as sm). In fact, after two months of this 100% retirement, which so

I believe I made a grievous mistake by not having quit ten

years ag'o.

Calif. Lumber Merchant Dear Al:

I doubt if there

left to do all is enuf the things we had planned on.

A few days ago, Andy Donosan on his way down 101 to L.A. gave me a jingle from Atascadero. Sure was great to hear from this old timer with whom I worked at Union Lumber, L.A., in 1921. Keep your good magazine coming. You are doing a great work.

Cordially, Loren Ifall Morro Bay, Calif.

As you no doubt know by this time that the Wisnom Lumber Co., is now defunet, dehydrated, liquidated and generally out of business as of August 1, 1965, but we still receive bulletins, pricelists, etc.from about every wholesaler. mill owner and everyone else who has something to sell, which we have to dump in File 13.

I would appreciate it if you would run an item in your publication, on the demise of the Wisnom Lumber Co., as to when and how it started and the fact that it is now history, also if you could get word to other publications to further spread the news. I feel that this is a great waste of postage, sending us these merchandising pamphlets, vrhen we have absolutely no use for them.

Anything you can do, Al, to spread the news that we have joined the great army of unemployed and to stop sending us bulletins covering the lumber industry affairs, will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, W. J. Wisnom

A. J. Miller P.S.-With some money that we have left over, I am planning on having a wake-dinner on S't, Patrick's Day, naturally, and would like to have you as our guest.

Our apologies, Waher, lor the sornewhat perluncnry r/wnner in which ue treated. the dernise ol your fine old, San Mateo retail building supply yaril. It's jwt that we find, it hard, n urite an obituary on a 60 year okl family business.

Our readers will be interested. we krww" that Wahter's uncle, la,mes Wisnom, started, Wisrcm Lurnber Co. in 19O6, and successlully operated the business untll the early 40's when Al Miller bought a piece ol th.e a,ctiltn. A third pa,rtner in the person ol one Roy Bleeher was admitted in 1945, but he sold, bach his interest n Wisrwn'L in 1949. Mr. Wisrwm passed, away in 1953 and his interest 'went to his nepheto a,nd, Hillsborough Chiel ol Police, Walter I. Wisrwm. AI Milter continued to menage th"e firm while the Chiet kept the "badd,ies" out ol Hillsborough urxit May 1962 uhen Waher retired. lrorn the lorce to spend, lull time at the Wisnom Tard.Edinr.

6.2/o allowed as how they probably will go under the next year. By 1970 nearly a quarter do not expect to be in the business. By 1975 another five percent sag over into the uncertain group or have decided to fold their tents.

But it appears as perhaps they aren't really as downhearted as they sound. Particularly when seventy percent are now offering or are planning to offer on-the-job training to tJreir employees in such futureoriented areas as merchandising, products and materials. Half will also eive their

people management, purchasing and credit training. So the outlook can hardly be as black as some paint it.

fu to the interpretation of the information turned up by the surveyo everyone who goes over it carefully will probably difier in what they see as the real mean. ing. But of one thing there can be no doubt. LMA has done all a real service in getting this information. Now let's hope that all concerned will put it to good use.

Top Money Crop

The top money crop on the nation's certified tree farms are veneer logs, sawlogs and poles.

Henry Holl Retircs
