Stockholders ftleeting tlor. 26

What's ahead for the lumber industry in 1958? Will business be better?

This and many other questions will come before the stockholders of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in Portland, March 26-28, for their 47th anwal meeting.

Up for serious consideration, said H. V. Simpson, executive vice-president, will be various proposals for a steppedup program of lumber promotion. A key speaker will be George M. Rideout, vice-president of Babson Reports, on "The Business Outlook" at the banquet, March 28.

The lumber manufacturers of the Douglas fir region of Oregon, Washington and California will consider traffrc, transportation and freight rate problems at the meetings. Stockholders will also take up important matters of carloading.

President R. M. Ingram will preside at the luncheon meeting where a presentation of an enlarged national lumber promotion plan will be made by Mortimer Doyle, executive head of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, and William Dugdale, Baltimore advertising executive.

A morning session will include reports by Fred Mattson, insurance department manag'er, and Arthur K. Roberts, education director, with H. V. Simpson making his annual report on association affairs. Jack Fairhurst, San Rafael, vice-president for California, will preside at a luncheon meeting which will feature the annual address of President Ingram. T. K. May, technical director, will make the presentation of the new Douglas Fir Use Book. Eliot Jenkins, Eugene, association treasurer, will make his annual financial report and James C. McClellan, Washington, D.C., will discuss a recent survey made by the American Forest Products Industries.

N. Floyd McGowin, president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. will also address the association. The famed Cascades Choir, national prize winners from Eugene, will present a concert.

"I cannot stress too strongly," H, V. Simpson said, "the vital importance of these meetings to the entire Douglas fir industry. All lumber manufacturers should attend to determine the course we will pursue in an all-out effort to stimulate lumber sales."

After 11 years of commuting from his Mill Valley home at 1 Melody Lane to the Gillon Lumber Co. at 4th and Geary streets, Dealer Robert E. Byard, owner of the retail yard, got a free ride over the Golden Gate bridge. Retailer Byard became one of the famed bridge's 1,000,000th customers when he bought his historic ticket, February 19, from Officer Robert E. Miller. AND the dealer also is getting free trips across to San Francisco all during the month of March, the gift of Bridge President Charles W. Reinking. Retailer Byard's trip that day, it was believed, also represented about the 40 millionth commuter trip in the span's time. The dealer and the police officer got their photos in The San Francisco News.
