Sterling Stofle, sales manager, Western Hardwood Lumber Co., Los Angeles, returned February 27 from a business trip to Washington and Oregon.

Joe Sherar, head of the promotion department of the Western Pine Association, Portland, Ore., was in Los Angeles during the first week in March. He gave a lecture on Western Pines at the Short Training Course for Retail Lumber Personnel being held this month at the University of Southern California. The course is sponsored by the Southern California Retail Lumber Association.

They took in the races at Santa Anita Park, and saw the running of the Santa Anita Derby. They are now spending a few weeks at the Desert Inn in Palm Springs. While in Los Angeles, Mr. Taylor was a caller at the office of Charles E. Kendall, Southern California representative for the Taylor Lumber Co.

Municipal Building Codes

The streamlining of municipal building codes which have grown so unwiedly that in many instances necessary home and commercial construction is seriously hampered was urged in Portland recently by John Fies, building code consultant for the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

Mr. Fies, whose headquarters are in San Francisco, spoke before an accident prevention and safety group of the American Red Cross.

"There is a growing tendency to put too much detail into building codes," Mr. Fies said. "This has the inevitable result of unneccesarily restricting building that is in the public interest and for the public good.

"Laws Tor the protection of the public are a legitimate police power, but often these laws, insofar as construction is concerned, go beyond the purpose of safeguarding the people's welfare. They tend to restrict the use of materials which are perfectly safe and satisfactory when properly used.

"It is therefore not desirable to see how many restrictions can be written into a building code; it is important to consider the purpose carefully and reduce the regulations under police power to the very minimum required for the public good."
