In citing the increased activity .of lumber dealers in building roof truss compqnents, Rayrnon lfarrell, executive vice-president and research director ,of the Lumber

Dealers Research Council, praised the Timber Engineering Company, Washington, D.C., for the special trusi demon-stration plQgrams it is conducting for ietail lumber dealer and Hoo-Hoo associations throughout the country. The demonstration was conducted for- Lu-Re-Co's Component Clinic at the National Retail Lumber Dealers Assoiiation convention in Philadelphia and has since been held for several regional lumber dealer associations. The program features the complete fabrication and assembly oi a 2+-tt. Teco trussed .raftir.

"Teco is to be congratulated for the job it is doing," said Harrell, "and local retail lumber groups and H-oo-Hoo associations should arrange for a demonstration at one of their meetings."

A full-scale fabricating bench based on a Teco design is u-sed to cut and groove truss members. Following fabricatio-n, the truss is completely assembled. Complele design information is made available to show lumbei dealers the ease with which trusses can be built, and the minimum investment in equipment needed to set up plant fabricatingline operations for Teco split ring roof trusses.

Local retail lumber dealer associations and Hoo-Hoo Clubs can arrange for the demonstrations at their meetings by writing "Operation Demonstrate," Timber Engineering Company, 1319-18th Street, N.W., Wash. 6, D.C.

G-P Consolidoting in Poltland; Redwood Soles lo Somoq, Golif.

Portland, Ore.-Georgia-Pacific Corporation will make two changes in its San Francisco ofifices. John G. Klopfenstein, general sales manager of Redwood sales, will be moved to the G-P general offices at Portland, Oregon, according to Julian N. Cheatham, vice-president of lumber sales and export. The Western Sales office will be shifted to the center of G-P's Redwood production, Samoa, California. Local Redwood lumber sales offices will be maintained at San Francisco and Los Angeles. The moves were effective March 15 and are part of an over-all plan to integrate sales functions at the home office.

The Western Sales office of the Hammond-California Redwood Division of G-P serves California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, l)tah, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado and Idaho.

Georgia-Pacific Corporation is transferring its plywood and specialty sales and accounting department from Olympia, Wash- ington, to its general offices at Portland, Oregon, effective March 15. This move, following its earlier announcement of relocating its warehouse division from Olympia to Portland, is a further consolidation of office personnel of this major forest products company at Portland. There are approximately 40 people in these departments.

In announcing the change, Robert B. Pamplin, president,

"After considerable study we find we can operate with greater efficiency by having all of our sales and accounting divisions concentrated in one place. This move, which will place all plywood and lumber sales, specialty sales and warehouses, combined with research, advertising and sales promotion and accounting in our general offices at Portland, will automatically lead to much greater efficiency in operation. By having all these divisions combined with our production, timber and logging divisions, together with our executive group, we will have much greater flexibility and coordinated direction."

Office personnel necessary for the operation of the three plywood plants at Olympia will continue to be located there, and this will place the Olympia operation on the same basis as the other Georgia-Pacific plants.
