National Forest Products Week has been set for October 16 to 22. It will require cooperation from all clubs to make this project successful and, when material is received from Jack Berry, national chairman, promoting "our week," see that it reaches the proper media in all communities.

"\Mith reference to membership, I was amazed at the small number of wood products people in Hoo-Hoo in comparison to the total number employed throughout the industry. This to me is extremely serious and a constant drive should be maintained to secure new members for our organization," said Snark Dick.

"Although last on the list of duties is Education and Public Relations, this is one of our most important projects. We must sing the praise of Hoo-Hoo and make each program outstanding and successful so that all lumbermen will be proud to be a member of our fraternity," he continued.

In order to acquaint Snark Dick with the various activities of Los Angeles Club 2, President Harold Cole gave each member present a few minutes to discuss his particular function in the club program.

"It was interesting to learn that several committee members were strong on the idea of dividing this largest Hoo- Hoo club in the world into two, or possibly three, clubs. Snark Dick would not comment on this idea but did state he thought smaller clubs with greater action was the answer to better attendance.

This idea is presently being studied by Harvey Koll, Bill Smith and several other members of the board of directors. Hoo-Hoo is the vehicle toknit the lumber industrv rser together; it was said. And Snark Dick. alone witir closer Dick, along wit Essley. Stanton and Bauer susgested a national sloera Essley, be adol suggested slogan be adopted. In order to build enthusiasm, it was also suggested a .co_ntest_be _promoted to gather ideas for a slogan such as, "IJse Wood Because It Is Good."

It was unanimously agreed by all present at this important meeting that several avenues should be explored such as interesting young men in the industry and tht club, knit a closer feeling within the industry, interest the labor unions to promote wood products.and, above all, work constantly to interest the retailers in all cities and communities to join and take an active part in Hoo-Hoo.

Before Harold Cole adjourned the meeting, he thanked Snark Dick for including Los Angeles in his travels. He, in turn, expressed deep appreciation to the local group for making his visit outstanding and wofthwhile. He urged each and every one in attendance to constantly work for the various causes of Hoo-Hoo, and said that, although it took a lot of energy, it was worth the price in the long run.

Thanks, Snark, come again !- By Ole May.
