The Clem Fraser Memorial Scholarship Fund was established last year in memory of Oakland Hoo-Hoo Club's 4th president (1927-28).

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'
