Hearin Lumber Handles Rogue-Ply

A nerv name in plywood "has arrived." It is Rogue-Ply, and it is coming out of the nearest plant in this major plywood center. Capacity of the efficient new operation is given as 5,000,000 feet on a three-sights basis, approximately 85/o sheathing and the balance sanded plywood. All production is TECO tested.

Acting as sales agents for the new plant is one of the area's oldest lumber sales organizations-Hearin Lumber Co., founded in 1939. Operating nationally-the firm has its own warehouse and distribution yard at Clearwater, Fla.-Hearin handles all species of West Coast lumber, plywood and moulding.

Hearin Lumber will ship Rogue-Ply in unitized carloads consisting ol 24 painted bundles, each 35" high, to the carload, according to Joe Hearin, head of the firm. Besides making handling, counting and weighing easier, this system will automatically protect new minimum freight rates on shipments from Medford, Hearin explained.

Rogue-Ply is staffed with key personnel experienced in plywood manufacturing. General manager is Doug Gordonier, plant manager Glen Leach.

Hoyword Lumber Promolions

llomer M. Haylvard, General Manager of Hayward Lumber Company, has anounced two promotions within his firm.

Sherwood Causley, a sixteen year veteran of Hayward Lumber Company, has been promoted to the position of assistant general manager. Mr. Causley joined the lumber firm in \\'atsonville in 1945. He has been Salinas branch manager since his transfer from Mratsonville in 1951.

Arizono Mqn Designs Pump For Fqllout Shelters

Gilbert Raymond, an engineer of Tucson, Arizona who turned lumberman, couldn't find the kind of air pump he wanted for the fallout shelter he is building at his home, so he designed one of his own.

Result? He is now in the manufacturing business. Orders have been taken for over 50 of his hand-cranked pumps, the first being sold in October.

Raymond's invention, the Ray-Capps Air Pump for Family Shelters, weighs 25 pounds and is 22 inches high. It runs by a belt and has no gears.

It can be l-rand operated in case of power failure, or easily motorized for recreational use of shelter.

It is stated tl-rat it provides a dependable air supply for up to 13 people, and has been approved by Civil Defense Engineering.

A comoanion unit. also of Ravmond design, is a filter. Air is pumped through layers of Fiberglass.

After Gilbert Raymond had first planned the pump, he took his design to Capps Manufacturing Co., a Tucson firm engaged mainly in making blowers for steam-cleaners. Civil Defense officials approved the pump, Capps made a mock-up, and production is now underway.

The Ray-Capps Air Pump is distributed by Neal B. Waugh Lumber Co., of which Raymond is the manager. His father-in-law, Neal B. Waugh, is president of the firm.

Howard Graulich has been promoted to Salinas branch manager with the advancement of Causley. Mr. Graulich is a long time resident of Salinas and 'rvas formerly associated with Moore Lumber Company before he joined the Hayward firm in 1957.

Globe President Discusses Use of Fire Protection Gootings

"The various governing bodies of the fire services have recognized fire protective coatings for years for interior application, but have hesitatecl in recognizing such coatings for exterior application for reasons best known to them," explained Harry C. Millerburg, president of Globe Coatings and Fireproofing, Inc., Los Angeles.

As a result, in 1952, the Association of American Railroads assigned the problem of developing an exterior fire protective coating to railroad fire prevention engineers. The AAR Laboratory in Chicago conducted qualifying tests and large scale field tests. Coatings meeting these specifications were placed in actual use throughout the country, Subsequently, these developments were improved upon and refined for commercial purposes, and have been commercially available for five years.

Many fire officials are familiar with, and have witnessed tests of these products. 1\[unicipal regulations f orbid endorsements of such products; however, many public utilities in our area utilize these materiais to protect critical pole lines, flumes, and other structures situated in isolated and dangcrous fire locations.

"Acknowledged that some oI the proposed restrictions will assist in preventing future holocausts, but complete non-combustible construction is highly unrealistic and will not do anything for thousands of existing structures in the canyons and hills that have, at least in part, some combustible construction such as wood, shingles and shakes," Millerburg said.

These homes are candi<lates for fire protective coatings, the cost of which will be no more than regular maitrtenance paint and in some cases considerablv less.

The Lozy Pitcher

This pitcher was notoriously lazy, but he had a very keen head on his shou.lders, and sometimes that quic-k wit helped out his lazy body.

He was in a tight spot in a tough game, and when a very dangerous batter came to the plate the manager gave the pitcher the signal to give him his base on ballipass him.

Wasting no time, the Tazy pitcher threw one into the ribs of the dangerous batter so fast he never had a chance to dodge-or duck it.-Rubbing his side the batter limped down to first base. After the inning was over the mana'ger shoved 1he lazy pitcher into the corner of the dugout, ind snapped:

"What was the idea. of nailing that guy when I only told you to walk him?"

"You wanted me to send him to first, didn't you?,, asked the lazy pitcher.

"I did."

"Then, what's the diffefence ?" drawled the pitcher. ]'Whl should_I tire_my arm with four pitches, .rvhen I got him there with one?'
