Now EVERY piece of Rockpon Redwood wogd piece Rockpon Bevel Siding is factory-sealed with ITOODTOX w -sealed water-repellent and a., no etctrd cost. This provides the established qualiry lumber dealer with an imporiant extra advantase. H'e can lumber advantage. He now offer his customer a premium Redwood product at comPeuuve Pflces.

A Solution to the Redwood Pqrk Problem

I rllltrt,ln name to lumbermen is Eureka, hub of la' thg redwood producing region. Less familiar is the fact tfrat "Eureka" is the state rnotto of California. Even less familiar is the knowledge that Eureka is derived from the Greek and means o'I (we) have found it."

WeII-EUREKA!!!

The American Forestry Association has found it -1hg answsr to the redwood national park problem.

Late in 1964 AFA commissioned Dr. Samuel T. Dana, dean emeritus of the School of Naturyal Re' sources at the University of Michigan, assisted by the association's chief forester, Kenneth B. Pomeroy, to study various proposals for perpetuating California's redwoods, including the Interior Departmentos three alternate plans' With local council and assistanie lrom Dean Solinsky, the impartial and well-informed forester, a thorough survey was conducted. Recommendations were made with resultant resolutions adopted February 26, by the AFA board of directors. We doubt that Messrs. Dana, Pomeroy and Solinsky are direct descendants of Solomon, but they certainly came up with recom' mendations worthy of that great biblical figure.

Let's look.

(l) Prompt establishment of a redwood' national park to protect one of America's natural wonders.

(2) In the opinion of the directors of AFA, and we guote, "establishment of such a national park can be achieved most advantageously by convert' ing Humboldt Redwood State Park to a national park dtatus with appropriate adjustment of boundaries. Such a transfer should be on a negotiated basis between the federal and state governmentso subiect to the approval of the people of California and acceptance by the Congress of the United States.

'oThis area is recommended for national park status because:

(a) It contains the most outstanding communities of trees in the entire redwood region, such as

those in Bull Creek Flat and Rockefeller Grove.

(b) This inland area has a much better climate for recreational purposes than other coastal state parks farther north.

(c) It presents a compact administrative unit.

(d) It is within easy access by major high' ways of the Interstate Highway System.

(e) It ofiers the traveling public a marvelous view of magnificent redwoods along the Avenue' of the Giants and elsewhere.

(f) It provides recreationists with a substantial mileage of river frontage in a region where water is an importlrnt adjunct to recreation

(g) Its establishment as a national park causes little impairment to an economy that already is in precarious balance, 'oA corollary step by the federal government should be the acquisiton of the'Tall Trees' area on Redwood Creeko as made famous by the National Geographic Society, for preservation as a national monument.

"The American Forestry Association urges that scenic highways, with adequate scenic corridorso be developed as recommended by the California legislature in a concurrent resolution in 1961 and by the Federal Recreation Advisory Council in 1964.

o'The association will call an invitational conference of agencies and organizations interested in redwood park programs fo1 the purpose of pre' senting these recommendations."

We couldn't agree more. Here is a plan that all interested parties can live with in harmony and that will benefit everyone. We sincerely hope the proposed conference, now scheduled for April 5 in San Francisco, adopts these recommendations and that the misinformed propagandists of some private conservation groups are men enough to stand up- and be counted. We have a hunch the Interior Departnient will see it this way too.

Another Amqzing Growth Story From Amqzing Oronge County

HAllOS0ME SlDll{G and shake robf shows a olea-

ORE than five and one-hal{ acres of "action-packed" lumber service is concentrated in the heart of Orange County, where just five years ago stood an orange grove in the toolies of Santa Ana.

Today, more than fifty million feet of prime wood products annually move through to job sites in Santa Barbara county, San Diego, Riverside and Imperial Valley.

In fact, all of southern California feels the impact of this unique operation which was established and designed by three lumbermen, who are specialists in their field.

Bill Hormuth, president and general manager; M. B. "Tim" Timmerman, vicepresident of sales; and Leon Lauderback, secretary-treasurer of Orange Coast Lumber Companl, pooled their interests and jumped into the fastest growing area in the United States to service the contractortract builder. They were no fledglings in the distribution of building material, hav'

ing a combined experience of more than six decades in all aspects of the business. Thirty experienced employees keep an average five million {eet of West Coast softwoods moving through the yard. Twentyfour units of mobile equipment are constantly in use, including low,bed short order carts to build loads of diversified material for customer pick-up and delivery. And a six car Santa Fe spur for receiving shipments in addition to the truck and trailer rigs inbound from the north.

DEATER SPECIATTIES

All species of western woods are carried in this all purpose inventory, including western red cedar siding, shingles and shakes. Heading this part of the action is Bob Lindahl, procurement and purchasing asent.

Salesmen Jim Hormuth and Bill Feldner are responsible for moving the materials out the gate to the customers. A fleet of company trucks, both single rigs and truck and trailers, maintain on-schedule delivery

as indicated by the receivers. Bea Krogstad is in charge of accounts payable, Shirley Sweearden takes care of the do-re-me on the leceivable end and Girl Friday Joy Bushee cares for billing and secretarial chores.

All of this fast action takes place in beautiful new offices which display the various materials they distribute. The interior is in western red cedar wall paneling with cabinets of walnut. The exterior is Moody Beveled western red cedar siding with shingles to match. Everything is upto-date and modern in every detail. All vehicles are painted black and white as a trade mark.

Now five years old, Orange Coast Lumber Company is an organization going places. In addition to the large volume of contractor-builder shipments this fast moving firm is a real source of supply for retail dealers seeking hard to obtain items.

They have the reputation of "filling the order" and doing it right now!

Tree Plqnting Progrom Precedes Sierro-Cosc ode Logging Conference

A S u prelude to the big Sierra'Cascade n Logging Conference. held February II-I3 in Sacramento, leaders of California's forest products industry met to plant the first trees on the site of the new California Exposition & Fair. Public officials and forest industry leaders each planted a tree, resulting in a 60 tree planting of the commercial species of California.

This "first tree-planting," contributed by the forest products industry, was, in fact, the frrst earth to be turned on the state's l0O0 acre exposition and fair in the heart of urban Sacramento. The project, a multimillion dollar development' will begin soon with completion set for 1968 or 1969. Its planners proclaim it will be "the finest fair and exposition in the world."

Hoo-Hoo International was well represented at the ceremonies. On hand to participate and plant first trees were these leaders of the lumbermen's {raternal order: Al Bell, Hobbs-Wall Lumber Co., San Francisco, the international order's vice Snark of the Universe; C. D. LeMaster, Sacramento. Seer of the House of Ancients; and Wayne R. Mercer, president, Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club. C. D' LeMaster was founder of Forest Products Day at the California State Fair.

The ceremonY. under Warren A. Carleton, American Forest Products Corp', Mar' tell, Calif., president of the sponsoring Sierra-Cascade Logging Conference, was opened by DeWitt Nelson, state director ol conservation" Albert T' Hildman, gen'

Lousy Loggers," composed of management personnel of the Pacific Coast timber in' dustry.

The l6th annual Sierra'Cascade Iogging Conferenceo beamed a spotlight on the working logger and the job of logging. More than 1200 loggers, lumbermen and associates of California and southern Oregon assembled at the California State Fair Grounds for conference sessions and the accompanying Logging Equipment Show.

Social events, including Sawdust Bowl Receptions, and Ladies' D"y activities, centered at the Hotel El Dorado, conference headquarters.

Keynote speaker on the opening morn' ing was a 'West Coast leader of the constiuction industry, Charles R. Graff, the 1964 president of the Northern and Central California Chapter, Associated General Contractors Inc. He is manager and vice president of the western division of Ray' mond International.

Invited to give his views of the forest products industry as an outsider, Graff said, o'Your industry must bear the burden of past mistakes and shortsighted policies

HE NEW STOCKTON BOX Company millwork and lumber remanufacturing plant started up operations in early 1964. Construction had begun in July 1963.

Every device and method in modernday woodworking technique was reviewed and considered before final plans were okayed and construction began. Back of this new $1,850,000 ultra-modern plant lies a story-a story based on the policy o{ the founders-service to the customer.

When you see the new Stockton Plant and the rest of the entire Stockton Box complex it is hard to realize that all of this is the result of a humble start and the foresight and courage of three men. Two of these men were Horace Tarter and Bert Webster who believed that their experience

Stockton Box's Mill and Remanufacture Plant is a Marvel of Modern Efficiency

in the lumber and wooden box industry was worthy of a chance of going into business on their own.

In l9I0 Horace Tarter borrowed a couple of thousand dollars from his widowed mother and asked his friend, Bert Webster, who had worked with him in various parts of Cali{ornia to join him as a partner. Bert's mother, also widowed, had so much confidence in her son she placed a mortgage on her home {or a like amount and loaned him the money to start in business. This meager capital, a crew of eight men and an old railroad roundhouse were the beginning of the Stockton Box Company.

A few years later W'alter S. Johnson joined these two gentlemen and the concern became know as Tarter, 'Webster & Johnson and from this stemmed, as the years went by, the present-day American Forest Products Corporation.

From this modest beginning grew one of California's largest industries. This growing wasn't just happenstance though. The original founders knew they had to buck tough competition. Among them they formed a policy that was to be a winning combination. This policy was

(l) a well made product,

(2) fairly priced and

(3) customer service way beyond the usual

This simple and basic policy brought satisfied customers and throueh the last 55 vears the Stockton Box Company has never deviated from this theme. In fact the same policy is still the byword of the American Forest Products Corporation through its two sales divisions, the Amer' ican Box Corporation (wooden and cor' rugated containers and plastics) and Tarter, W'ebster & Johnson (lumber, plywood and lumber specialty items).

'Ihe new plant was in the planning stage for more than lB months. During this time Stan Starkey, Bill Williams and Jim Fechner spent considerable time traveling

Most of the department foremen: A. A. Gehrman, moulding foreman; Lloyd Paxson, cutting and ripping department foreman; Daniel Turner, detail department foreman; Paul Turner, assistant plant superintendent-millwork division and James Cox, maintenance and machine shop foreman also inspected other plants throughout the country in search of mod. ern ideas. To this mass o{ woodworking information they added their own years of practical experience. All oi this preparatory planning is evident by the innovations and flow pattern of the new plant.

the

Western Wood Products Association Convention

extend the guarantee to cover products of its members when graded by grading agencies under the rules of other approved rule making agencies.

In essence, Barnes pointed out, the proposal is that WWPA undertake to provide a. financial guarantee of the grade of gradestamped lumber shipped by each member wishing to join the program, the guarantee to be in accordance with WWPA or other approved grading rules. Claims would be adjusted only after all normal avenues of communication between buyer and seller had been exhausted, and would be adjusted in accordance with the reinspection provisions of the grading rules.

SIGNIFICANT ACTION

"This is the most significant action ever taken by the lumber industry," Barnes emphasized. "It will substantially improve the image of lumber in general, and will have a beneficial effect on the entire industry"' he added.

Barnes explained that the program will be voluntary. WWPA member mills may participate or not, as they choose. How' ever, he told mem,bers, this move by the association means that its members can take the lead in establishing confidence in lumber products in the market place for the entire industry.

"Overdll initiation of the program would adopt procedures that most reputable mills follow today," Barnes added. "Confidence of the buyer in our lumber products will be rein{orced by the program and one more element of risk will be removed in transactions with the lumber industry."

W'WPA's officers, board members and committees faced a long list of industry questions, perennial problems and policy matters at the annual meeting.

Highlighting the session was a speech by Dr. J. Herbert True, president of the National Labor Management Foundation, who spoke on 'oThe Making of a Superior Salesman.o'

'TAARKETING FORUNA

Fred J. Davis, superintendent of the Garden City, New York building depart' mento speaker at the Marketing Forum, warned WWPA members that the recent disclosures of fraudulently grade marked lumber in the eastern section of the U.S. has left no segment of the lumber industry untouched.

\AtV Y ESTERN lumbermen have taken a giant step toward modernizing marketing techniques with the decision by the industry to initiate steps to financially guarantee grade-stamped lum,ber.

This far-reaching action highlighted the annual convention of the Western Wood Products Association held March 3-5, in San Francisco.

The move was taken to restore confidence for lumber in the market place, as well as to stop mismarking and to minimize confusion in marketing practices.

Wendell B. Barnes, executive vice president, commenting on the action, said that other rule making agencies should note WVPA is not limiting this guarantee to products graded and inspected only by its own rules. $e said WWPA proposes. to

Among the many subjects discussed for study or action were: revision of grading rules now under discussion; progress on the reconstitution of the American Lumber Standards Committee; grading and certifi' cation procedures; flood disaster legislation ; log scalers' certification program; forest service contracts; appraisal procedures; wood density survey; load sharing and wood construction concepts ; buildingcodes; correlation oI coast and inland statistics; evaluation of advertising and promotion programs; adoption of new'dues schedule and articles of incorporation.

A unique feature of the convention was a two-day Marketing Forum held in conjunction with the other sessions of the meet. The Forum was programmed to the special interests of lumber sales and marketingorierited people, and was geared to the long-term problems stemming from industry attempts to stay competitive with nonwood products in building markets.

Davis said lum,ber mills. retailers and both association grading agencies have been some extent.

wholesalers, and private involved to , He urged WWPA members to establish proper non-governmental policing author' ity with teeth in it and to initiate stopgap measures to end the practice of fraudulent grading while endeavoring to pro' mulgate the necessary reforms.

EIECTION OF OFFICERS

Heading up the order of business at the convention was the election of officers. John S. Richards, Atlas Tie Co., was re-elected president and L. L. Stewart, Bohemia Lumber Co., was elected new vice president' Also re-elected were A. T. Hildman, Michigan-California Lumber Co., vice president and Glenn Kittrell, Wagner Lumber Products Co,, treasurer,

NEW BOARD MEMBERS

Eight new members at large were named to the WW.PA Board of Directors. They are John Aram, Weyerhaeuser Co., Tacoma, Wash.; Harry Kelsey, International Paper Co., Longview, Wash.; Julian Cheatham, Georgia-Pacific Corp', Portland, Ore.; Nils B.

SOCIAT EVENTS

Convention planners didn't forget the ladies. Special dining, shopping and sightseeing tours were arranged for the pleasure of the gals who accompanied their husbands to San Francisco. Lucy Barnes, wife of WWPA Executive Vice President Wendell Barnes, acted as hostess for the women's activities during the three-day meeting.

Events included a cocktail party, getacquainted coffees, a sightseeing tour of Chinatown, and a conducted tour of exclusive fashion shops in the Union Square district.

New progroms hopefully will restore consumer confidence to wood industry products

ODAY, any couple with children is confronted with a vexing domestic prob. lem. How, under one roof, does one sup. ervise the children when necessary, let them alone when desirable and still enjoy the luxury of adult activities? This problem has been solved in this particular de. sign by providing a spacious family room which is partially open to the kitchen. Mother can perform her kitchen activities and still supervise the children as they use the family room as a play area. This in{ormal room can double as a TV room which is especially important when guests are being entertained in the more formal living and dining rooms.

The kitchen is located between the family room and the large dining room. Note the extremely wide pantry and the generous size eating nook. By using a service cart, it would be very simple to serve outdoor meals on the wide patio which is accessible through the sliding glass doors in the family room. Similar doors open from the living room and master bedroom.

A roofed breezeway ofiers quick access from the garage to the roomy service. The laundry and broom closet are located in this area and there is additional space available for a freezer plus other items. A short hall connects the service, family room, bath and den or fourth bedroom.

One of the unique features of this home is the master bedroom suite. It has a large dressing area with a wardrobe closet, a long dressing table and a twin pullman lavatory. A toilet and shower open from this dressing area.

Double doors have been specified at the entry and again from '"'] the hall to the separate dining '. room.

SN'T IT REMARKABLE, and at the same time isn't it depressing to realize how much like sheep the average humans are?

Content to follow the leader, wherever he might go. Lacking initiative, vision, the courage to think and do originally and independently, and differently, the average man goes through life, following in the footsteps of the plodders, hauling his load in the ruts that others have made by continued following of the same crack, never getting outside those ruts, never seeing beyond the fences that others have built along the way-just plodding.

You say to such a business man, "How is your business?"and he replies, o'Business is slow right now, but I guess I haven't any right to expect it to be otherwise; Jones across the street tells me that he is in the same fix, and the rest of the men in my line around town tell me the same thing, so I guess we are in the sam'e boat. I am in hopes things will pick up soon, but they haven't done it yet."

That's the attitude t ,n. *"r*" ;". A sort of dry leaf on the tree o{ humanity, taking it for granted that the winds that blow will send him hither or thither, hoping that things will turn out all right, watching his neighbor and competitor and satisfied if he fares about like they do, and sort of instinctively resigned to the thought that things are pre'destined to be a oertain way, and he can't change them.

THAT"S the average man. And when he gets a tretter vision of himself and his afiairs and puts that vision into practice, he rises above the bunch of AVERAGE MEN, and people begin to point to him as a man who is UNUSUAL.

**t+**t(*tt

BY JACK DIONNE

average man, unless it is the sin of omission that he continues to commit. But the parable of the ten talents finds him wanting.

He has been given " -r"U a ,n*U with, a will to do with, brains and hands to work with. and there isn't a restriction around him except imaginary ones created by precedent. But he follows the same road that others have followed, sinks a little deeper in the same ruts that others have been making before him, takes it for granted that this is his limitation, and seldom does he try to get out of the rut, jump the fence, and try a new road. So heavy is he burden of established precedent.

But what fun it is to try the other things, to get in the unusual class, to be YOUR sort of a man, doing things in YOUR way, thinking with YOUR brain your own thoughts, and taking for granted the fact that you are FREE and not an automaton.

The world owes all .f to ;.g;r", Jt, o, its improvements, to men who get tired of rut riding, and cut loose for themselves. It is men who won't follow, who won't be held down, who won't let other people think for them, won't have their destinies directed by folks now dead, who make the world worth living in.

Lumbermqn of the Yeor?

The National-American Wholesale Lumber Association, through the foresight oI its outstanding executive vice-president, Jack Mulrooney, has scheduled its annual meeting April 27-29 at Boca Raton, on the beach in southern Florida, where pleasure can be successfully combined with business. As we were contemplating the joys of reporting this meeting, we got thinking about what the association and what Jack Mulrooney had done for the lumber industry, and believe us it adds up .-big.

This last year has seen a lot of changes in grademarking practices. Let's see why. Back in 1956 NAV/LA adopted a resolution urging that all lumber be grademarked, suggesting that abuses existed at that time. In 1961 FHA adopted a rule requiring grademarked lumber in all FHA structures. By 1964 abuses by authorized grading agencies, particularly on the East Coast, was common knowledge, and the American Lumber Standards, in the opinion of some, had failed in its responsibility to police these agenci,es. At this point, spearheaded by Jack Mulrooney, local NAWLA mernbers and certain interested retailers in the New York area, organized to report fraudulent practices to ALS, hoping to stave ofi drastic action by law and 'building code officials.

They started iust in time. Several indictments have been made and the violations corrected. Building code officials, appalled at the fraudulent activities of certain unscrupulous lumber suppliers, organized to enforce rules and indict offenders, even going so far as to suggest they should license local approved grading agencies. You can see where this would lead. Thanks to Mulrooney's foresight in organizing local groups and in contacting all cargo mills and national and regional associations, outlining the problems and urging grademarking of. all dimension lumber, recent industry action has been taken to

(I) reorganize and strengthen ALS so that it can function as a policing agency, and (2) grade stamp all dimension lumber at the mills.

S-Aftwood plywood, the fastest growing industry in the United States, increased its 1963-64 production 13.5 percent to 1I.6 billion square feet, the American Plywood Association has reported'

The increase was 1.8 percent more than the lI.4 billion square feet increase predicted for tfiat period, and nearly double the 7.4 peroent produotion increase in 1963 over l!)62.

The entire softwood plywood industry is expanding at an aver' age annual rate of 14 percent, according to Federal Reserve Board figures. Production from 1960 through 1964 increased an average 1i.2 percent a year. An 8 percent productioqincrease is expected during 1965.

There has been only one year in the past I0 years when ply' wood production did not increase. That was in 1960 when there was a decrease of less than I percent. Prior to 1960 the growing industry must look ,back to 1943 for a decrease in productionthat year there was a 17,6 percent decrease.

A change in the name of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, to the National Forest Products Association, and a consolidation of certain NLMA and National Wood Promotion Program activities moved closer to reality as the result of a two' day meeting, Feb. 9-10 in Washington, of the NLMA executive and NWPP steering committees.

The two committees voted to recommend that the NLMA'NWPP annual meeting in May accept a recent proposal of the Commit' tee on Industry Needs (COIN) that all NLMA and NWPP activi ties, except advertising and field promotion, be financed by a uni' form ll-cent dues rate, efiective June 1. (The present NLMA dues rate is 5 cents.)

The proposed change in the name of NLMA would require the approval of at least 75 per cent of the membership of the federated associations.

Post Flood Lumber Shipping

Lumber from Arcata Redwood Co., Arcata, is being shipped by rail from Fort Bragg, according to Fred C. Holmes Lumber Co. Employeed are loading Arcata redwpod on California Western Railroad cars in Fort Bragg for shipment out of state after the lumber is received on trucks from Arcata.

From C"WR in Fort Bragg, the lumber goes to Willits where it connects with the Northwestern Pacific Railroad.

Four or five trucks, carrying between I?5,000 and 200,000 board feet of lumber, make the trip each day.

If a lumber order originates in California, the truck takes it directly to the point of delivery. Northwestern Pacific rail.service from Willits north was knocked out by the severe December floods. Holmes officials said they are loading approximately .100,000 board feet a day, seven days a week, fbr Arcata Redwood.

The Celotex Corporation, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jim Walter Corporation last year, will move its corporate headquarters from Chicago, Ill. to Tampa, Florida, the site of the parent company headquarters

The move will begin soon and is scheduled for completion by late summer of this year, a company spokesman said. Other Celotex facilities in the Chicago area will remain in their present locations. These include the Celotex research center in Des Plaines and two regional offices in the Loop area.

The de,cision to move was based on a long range economic study which showed that locating company management in the same city would improve efficienby and eliminate many duplications of efiort, the spokesman said.

Western Retail Lumbermen's Association Conyention

rnHE emphasis was on success in an ever' r changing industry at the 62nd annual Western Retail Lumbermen's Association convention and building material exhibit held recently in Spokane, Wash.

The three-day exposition featured a factpacked program of speeches and discussion sessions generously mixed with social events where the emphasis was on fun.

R.y C. Blackstock, partner-owner of Blackstock Lumber Co., Seattle, was elected new president of WRLA, which is comprised of dealers in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. Ansel E. Hyland, presi' dent of Eugene Planing Mill Co., Eugene, Ore., was named lst vice president and James C. Hayes, general rnanager of Boise Cascade's Central Region Merchandising Group, was selected 2nd vice president.

Blackstock is the third memher of his family to hold the position of president of WRLA. His father. the late Carl Blackstock. Sr., was president in 1935-36 and his uncle Herbert presided in 1948.

The convention was kicked-ofi with a breakfast session where television news analyst Bill Shadel spoke on ooPersonalities an Issue of 1965." Out-going president Stewart Orr opened the business session.

Paul R. Hollenbeck, executive vice presi' dent of West Coast Lum,ber Inspection Bu' reau, opened the business session the following day' with a discussion of 'oProven Management Control with Data Processing." He explained the profitable strides many retail dealers are taking by using data processing in pricing inventory control and other areas of financial management. Hollenbeck was assisted in his dem' onstration by repr'esentatives of IBM and National Cash Register.

The closing day of the convention was highlighted by "A Good Old Fashioned Sales Revivalo" by Dr. Herb True and Fred Klemp, a 2-hour session packed with practical sales ideas.

The social side of the convention featured cocktail parties, luncheons and several get-togethers for the conventioneers' ladies.

Running concurrently with the business sessions was an exhibit on tlle latest in new products and services for lumber and buildine material dealers. More than 100 exhirbitJrs displayed their wares at the Spokane'Coliseum. Shop-stopper was a col' lection of antique locks valued at $1 million, presented by the Schlage Lock Co.

WRLA members welcomed 2I dealers who traveled all the way from Montana to attend the convention. Included in the group were Lew Mack of Anaconda Build' ing Supplies, Missoula, president of the Mohtana Building Materials Association, and Mrs. Agnes Zipperian, executive secretary of the group. The Montana association held their annual convention March 28-30 in Great Falls.

Seven new members of the WRLA 40Year Club were presented plaques at the meeting. They are James and Xavier Baker of Baker Lumber Co.; Reginald Houghton, W. J. McCready Lumber Co.; Hal D. Morgatr, Morgan-Staley Lumber Co.; Kent Rubow, Capital Lumber Co.; Ruy F. Smith. W. J. Conrad Lumber Co., and Charles B. Young, Independent Lumber Co.

New directors of the association.named at the convention are Ralph Husom, Mad' ison Lumber & Mill Co., Spokane; Robert M. Slettedahl. Lumbermen's of Shelton, Wash.; Clayton C. Morse, l,amb-Morse Co., Astoria, Ore., and J. M. o'Mel" Bet' tig who was elected to a S'year term as head of the insurance and pension trusts committee.

Redwood Outlook After the Flood

As 1965 moves on, the redwood industry coritinues working hard to recover from the disastrous floods of Christmas 1964. Damage to production facilities and lum' ber inventories was extensive in some in' stances, slight in others, but in many cases firms are still trying to determine total damage. Shipment of redwood lumber is still limited and the Northwestern Pacific Railroad expects no lumber shipment from Humboldt County until June.

With the supply of redwood restricted

for the. present by inability to make shipment, California Redwood Association members are making whatever shipment is possible and are building up inventories so ih"t rhip-"nts can be made quickly when the highway and rail routes open up. Although redwood supply may be limited, association efiorts will be directed at niain' taining consumer and specifier interest in redwood. Four ateas of redwood use are particularly important to the dealer: the residential market, both new construction

and loading area

In 1965, the California Redwood Asso' ciation will be illustrating redwood for resi' dential uses through consumer advertising, publicity to national and regional maga' zines and newspapers. Dealers will find that the numerous idea booklets, envelope stufiers, and advertising mats available from the association are good traffic builders.

CRA recognizes the importance of the farm market to the rural dealers. Over the Dast two yearso fourteen farm building pl"n, h"u"'been developed for dealer use in promoting farm sales. These range from .-ull-itt"t*l feeders to post'frame utility buildings. The dealer can use these practi' cal plans to assist his qustomer irr plan_ning farm buildings or to prefabricate and sell the buildings as packaged units. Aflvertising mats are available for the dealer to promote these plans in his local area.

DEALER OPPORTUNITY

Commercial construction is one. of the most active areas of the construction pic' ture, and the California Redwood Associa' tion recognizes that aPartments' motels, re' tail businesses, ofrce buildings and other small or suburban commercial buildings can be an important part of the dealer's business. These buildings are architect' designed and are built either by the client or by a builder as part of a land develop' ment program.

A steady proportion of the Redunoil Nears editorial coverage has been directed to this important subject and in the past year the association has produced two companion booklets on the use of redwood in commercial construction. One of these covers restaurants, motels, apartments' etc't and the second covers retail stores, offices, municipal buildings, including shopping centers.

One of the most successful dealer redwood promotions has been the garden red' wood program. In 1965, the association will again offer garden redwood promotion material, including specific how-to-do-it data sheets, idea booklets, and bill stufiers, as well as new advertising mats, all for the dealer to use to develop his garden redwood sales.

APA Tcrx Exempt Stqtus Revoked

The Internal Revenue Service has revoked the tax exemption for the non-profit American Plywootl Association. until recently the l)ouglas Fir Plvwood Association, liecause of pronrotion of tht' DFPA tradcmark in national tclevision advcrtising.

Advertising the DFPA trademark mctrns the assoc'iation *-as promotinpr its mt'mlrers' produr:ts rathcr than thrxe of the indu-.try as a rvholc. IRS said.

The IRS ruling. although prepart:d in Washington. uas issued by thc Scattle district director. It was made public liy the APA hcadquarters in Tacoma, and the organization also stated it u'ould appeal the ruling-rvhich could afiect many activities of other trade associations. IRS made the revocation retroactivt. to )961, the year the group launched a program of TV network advertising, which urged buyers to look {or the DFPA trademark. The organization represents 85 percent of softwood plywood produc. tion. and changed its name to Amerrican Plywood to include the relatir.elr. new southern pine plvwood industry.

Regulations of IRS state that to retain tax-exempt status" a business association should direct its activities "to the improlement of business conditions of one or more lintrs of busint.ss. as distinguished {rom the performance o{ particular services for individual pt'rsons." APA Exccutivc Vice President James Turnbull said it appearcd IRS was "making a judgment on thc cffectivt'ness of adverti-sing," sincc thc only change in l96l was to switch advcrtising from national consumer magazines to TV. A spec,ial 25t'-pcr-1.000 square feet oI production was levied on memlrcrs for the tckl'ision advertisins hv thc associatiotr. Irt 1964, thc rrctrvork promotion was dropped, and dues reduccd from 75( (plrrs the 25q) ro 551 per 1,000 squart. feet, after rt.sen'e funds had reacht'd $2.f100"(X)0.

Redwood Logging Conference

Robert H. Barrett, Twin Harbors Lumber Co. logging manager, Arcata, has been elected president of the Redwood Region Logging Conference. Al Rueger of F: M. Crawford Lumber in Ukiah, was elected vice-president and Fred Landenberger of Eureka was re-elected secretary-manager.

Two men were elected to three year terms on the conference board of directors: John Swelley, Masonite Corp., Ukiah, and C. J. Hopkins, Northern California Log Scaling and Grading Bureau, Arcata.

- The 1966 conference will be held in Eureka on March l0-ll with a heavy equipment show. General conference policy is to have an equipment show once every three to four years,

Recognition of the public interest in the preservation of oldgrowth redwood was outlined in a policy statement relative to state and national redwood parks. The conference took no position favoring either state or national administration of redwood parks, but did recognize that outstanding examples of superlative groves should be preserved in the public interest. The conference commended the efforts of the Save-the-Redwoods League in the establishment of over fO0,000 acres of redwood state parks. Additions to redwood parks should be limited to stands of superlative educational inspirational qualities and so situated as to be easily accessible to the public, the conference statement emphasized.

Visitor facilities within old growth redwood parks should be limited to rninimum trails, nature walks, and simple sanitary structures, the conference statement outlined, while camping facilities within the old growth groves were described as impairing the aesthetic and inspirational qualities of the groves and subjecting the public to danger from falling heavy limbs.

The conference redwood statement also refuted the charge that the redwood forests are being destroyed. It was acknowledged that old growth timber was being harvested, but it was empha. sized that modern management left redwood lands in good productive condition and that new crops of redwood were growing back on cutover lands.

The RRLC also deplored the tactics of some conservation groups in directing publicity on redwood preservation to the general public without first making an effort to discuss preservation needs with industry.

In other resolutions the conference commended the American Forestry Association for its recently completed study of the need for establishing state and national redwood parks. The AFA report recommended national status for Humboldt Redwoods state park. (See page four of this issue for their full plan.)

The conlerence also commended the many organizations, public and private, that offered assistance to redwood region flood victims last December. Federal and state legislation and appropriaations were urged for flood control on rivers and streams in the north coast region.

Housing Stqrts Sog

Home building in 1965 was off to a shaky beginning. January housing starts declined to a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 1,487,000 units-seven percent below December and 13 percent below the year-earlier pace. The January figures bore out widespread predictions in the final months oI 1964 that home building would open the new year on a downward trend.

More hopeful was a report on January building permits issued by 12,000 communities. At a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 1,317,000 unitso January permits were 12 p€rcent abweDecember and only slightly below the pace for January a year ago. Over the years, building permit figures have proven one of the best barometers of future housing trends,

Edward A. Hummel Regional Director National Park Service San Francisco.

Calif.

Dear Mr. Hummel:

I am writing in response to National Park Services study of the coast redwoods of California.

My comments are directed to the portion of the report presenting three plans for the prbservation of the coast redwoods for public enjoyment by federal acquisition of lands now in private ownership. All three plans contemplate substantial land acquisitions solely for tJre purpose of incorporating in a proposed redwood national park stretches of ocean blufi and beach. Unfortunately, the suggested acquisitions of

ocean frontage, having no direct relation to the preservation of the redwoods and thus being incidental to the primary purpose of the study and ieport, do not reflect the same careful consideration and analysis that support the proposals for acquisition of redwood stands and watershed areas.

The report is almost devoid of factual data to support the suggested acquisitions of ocean frontage. The few background staterr€nts concerning tle ocean frontage are generalities which are inaccurate and misleading.

The report states that the suggested federal acquisitions for the proposed redwood national park would include 'ol3 miles of wild ocean bluff and beaches in one of the only remaining locations in the world where the original redwood forests sweep down in natural ecological transition to the ocean." This statement gives the impression that redwood forests sweep down to the ocean the entire length of the 13 miles of shoreline. This is not the case.

The redwoods approach the oeean only along a four-mile segment of this shoreline ,immediately bordering the present Prairie Creek Redwood State Park.

inoll

some nve m'es or the proposed acquisi.

*"r'"H'";1f,ifi,*i:i:iffim:

ward frim the northern boundary of the

Prairie Creek Redwood State Park. No' redwoods whatsoever grow on this strip of shoreline and there ari no redwoods in the immediate vicinity. If this strip were in' corporated in the proposed redwood- na; tional park it would not border the inland area of the park but would constitute an isolated appendage. Moreover, the first four miles of this five'mile strip is a strip of precipitous ocean bluffs with virtually no usable beach area. The last mile on the north is a mile of beach frontage at the mouth of the Klamath River. The re' port contains a photograph of a portion -of this beach frontage at the mouth of the Klamath with a caption stating that the mouth of the Klamath adjoins Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park and that it is o'still wild, rugged and beautiful."

The mile of beach at the mouth of the Klamath does not presently adjoin Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, but rather is separated from it by the four'mile stretch of precipitous ocean clifis. This beach is t'beautiful," and some might characterize it as 'orugged" but it is far from olwild."

This mile-stretch of beach comprising approximately one hundred acres was

allotted to my father, a full-blooded American Indian, by the federal government in 1891. It was deeded to him by the federal government in 1907. Sincc 1914, for a halfcentury, this so-called "wild" beach has been developed and operated, first by father and later by myself and my sons and daughters as a recreational area and fishing resort catering to the public.

Alter writing this letter on Oct. 30, 1964, Mr. Williams refused, nourishment and, some ueeks later d,ied, "ol a brohen heart" at the thought ol losing his property, his daughter reports. Dad's Camp was completely d,estroyed by the llood.-Editor.

Our charges to the public for the use of our facilities are, and always have been, most moderate. Our present charge for day use of our facilities is only 75 cents per car and for overnight camping is only $1.50 per car, These charges are less than the current charges for comparable facilities in most of the state parks in California.

These large crowds to which we (:ater are drawn to this beach by the excellent fishing at the mouth of the Klamath. Although we welcome all mcmbers of the public, whether fishermen or not, nearly all of the people making use of our facilities throughout our fifty years of operation have been fishermen. The beach is not appealing solely for camping or picnicking inasmuch as it is usually {og-shrouded and often swept by strong winds.

The beach would be too isolated {rom the redwood area o{ the proposed redwood national park to in any way contribute to the public enjoyment of the redwoods themselves. Because of the prevailing inclement weather conditions it would not be an aDpealing beach lor the average park r-isitor not desirine to fish.

T'he usefulesss of the beach as a public recreational area rvould in no wav be enhanced by incorporating it as a national park. In all probabilitl., the use limitations that would necessarily be incident to the operation of this beach as part of the National Park System would makc the beach Iess available to the public.

I hope and trust that the Park Service will insist on a much more thoroueh investigation oI the ocean frontage propos"d park. In all probability, the use limitations to be incorporated in the redwood national park and a careful consideration of the wisdom of such incorporation before the final report is prepared for submission to the Secretary of the Interior. When this has been done, I am confident that the service will accede to my request.

Sincerely yours,

H ar ry V illitti'ns, Owner DAD'S CAMP Klamath" Calif.

by BOB McBRIEN executive vice president of ihe Lumber Merchonts Associotion of Norihern Coliforniq

QAFETY IS A WORD often tossed about very loosely. It's talked J about from kindergarten to the grave, but few people really give it the full attention it deserves. Not so with LMA dealers, for they realize iull well the hazards in' volved if safety is not paramount in the minds of AL*L their*employees.

This being so, LMA's safety committee has developed a serie.q of In-Yard Safetl Clinics which is now visiting some fifteen northern California cities to show dealers and their yard personnel how to avoid costly accidents.

Our program is built around two l'hour demonstrations in each city and is {ollowed by a question and answer session. Deleloped in cooperation with State Fund. rve are using {ork lift truck,q. flat bed trucks and other equipment to show how materials should be unloaded. stacked and loaded. Special emphasis is placed on avoiding strain and llack injuries, lumber toppling, etc.

II{-YARD SAFETY clinics throughout northern California also ooen to nonmembers are discussed.

Don Blum of the State Fund is a principle speaker at each demonstration and is backed up by the local State F-und representative and LNIA officials. Vith both mornins and afternoon demonstrations. local dealers can send half their personrrel in the morning and the others in the afternoon so as not to interrupt business activities.

A special luncheon for owners and general managers {ollows the morning session and provides the opportunity for dealers to ask questions ahout anything pertaining to W'orkmen's Compensation.

Among the <'ities playing host to the LMA In-Yard Safety Clinic are: Bakersfield, Hanford, Fresno. Modesto. Stockton. Sacramento. Marysville, Redding, Tahoe. Santa Rosa. Oakland, NIt. View. N'Ionterey and San Luis Obispo.

Full details on the program have been sent to all LMA members advising them when the clinic rvould be in their areas. If you are not an LMA member and l'ould like to oliserve the demonstration in your area. please contact our o{fice immediately and we rvill be pleased to make the necessary arrangements.

The LN,IA educational committee is also hard at work planning a 2-day Top Management Con{ercnce to be htld this fall. The special program will include top experts on markt.ting and finance who in addition to providing a programmed session will also be ar-ailahle to help solve specific dealer problems. LMA owners and general managers will participate in this important conference. I'Iore details will be released soon.

Hordwood Action Council Progrqm

Problems in greater utilization of hardwoods, search programs being made in that direction capitalizing on that progress were discussed at a of the Hardwood Council at Madison. Wis.

along with reand plans for recent meeting

Attending the meetings were representatives of ll major hardwood groups, directors and technologists o{ five regional experiment stations of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, representatives of the Forest Products Laboratory and editors of several wood industry trade publications.

Among the principal decisions was appointment of a committee to study plans for a management training seminar soon at the Forest Products Laboratory for top executives of hardwood producing firms.

o'This conference," said Dr. Locke in proposing the seminar, oowould present in two days of concentrated lectures, up-to-date information on log and trec grades, logging practices, sawmilling and seasoning.

'oI think the lumber producers enrolled would go away better informed on the technology of hardwood lumber production-and be in a better position, therefore, to make wise decisions regarding improvement of their own operations."

Woodland' Find a Need and Fill lt

Qever vEARS .\co Frank Robertson disu cor-ered there were many specialty items in demand at the consumer level including dccorative trim, mouldings, corbels, cutting boards, bulletin boards and other fast. turnover products.

Being a progressive young man, knowledgeable in the woodworking industry, he borrowed a pick-up truck, a trailer and $50 in cash and established Woodland Products Company with one idea in mind: personal service to retailers by keeping a constant inventory on display with no effort on the part of his customers.

Today he operates two well-maintained delivery trucks from a new warehouse lo-

cated at 1,X80 East Grand Ave. in Pomona. Thesc trucks service dealers on a regular schedule throuehout the southland with the various p.odrct. manufactured by Woodland. In {act all items, with the exoeption of thc hardboard cutting boards, are pro-

ments of production, shipping and sales. Although he is a young man he has 20 years experience in his field, including several years in lumber retailing-so he is familiar with dealer needs.

He decided to find a way to produce these specialty items and stock patterns, including scallop mouldings, eliminating special handling by the dealers and liis success was assured by immediate customer acceptance,

At present Voodland has four employees and with the growth which this firm most certainly will enjoy more trucks and mctre people will play a big part in the future of this hustling organization.

WCIIB Urges Mill Grodemork

The Vest Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau has urged that all light f raming lumber for interstate shipment be grade marked as to quality, at point of manufacture or re - manufacture, by agencies now or later to be certified by the American Lumber Standards Committee.

Paul Hollenbeck, erecutive vice President of thc WCLIB. said the Federal Housing Administration and local building code authorities have consistently reported di{ficulty in the enforcement of their grade requirements on light framing lumber, as used chiefly in home building.

"Substantial quantities of such lumber enter the channels of commerce with incorrect grade marks or no grade marks," Hollenbeck stated. For instance. some util' iay, or lower grade lumber enters the market without grade marks and often is sold as a higher grade product.

ooThis is bad for the industrv, bad for the builder and bad for the consumer"" Hollenbeck said. "It has caused us grave concern for the reputation and the future of the lumber industry.

"W'e are deeply concerned that fraudulent stamping also damages the reputation of our own respected V/CLIB grade mark and thus is harmful to our membership." he said.

At present the ALSC, a private bod,v,

controls the requirements of grade marking and quality. However, compliance with its requirements is \.oluntary, and it has no authority to require that all light framing lumber be grade marked.

The WCLIB -"aid it would support the enactment by Congress of legislation necessary. suitable and appropriate to achieve grade marking of all light framing lumber shipped interstate.

William T. Robison, :10, has been appointed director oI the field services division of the American Plywood Association. Robison will operate from headquarters in Tacoma. according to the announcement of

Bough lumber On lhe Move

Construction of a new combined plant for Baugh Forest Products Corp. and Baugh Lumber Sales Co. in the City of Industry started in February with a com' pletion date targeted for VIay 1965.

The five-acre site on Willow Street will include a plywood warehouse and four lumber sheds with a storage capacity of 3.5 million board feet, and a modern 5000' square-foot office building.

The dccision to move from the Present location in Vernon to the City of Industry was based upon a desire to serve better the present and future Los Angeles county industrial and dealer markets, according to Bob Baugh, partner with his brother Bill in the lumber enterprises bearing their name.

"[''e feel that our new location in the City of Industry will phase our operations in the best geographical location to serve the entire southern California market area," said Baugh. "Population and indus' try shi{ts indicate the importance of a central location for good customer service.

Jenkins to Leqd Long-Bell

Appointment of Eliot H. Jenkins as general manater of the Long-Bell Division of International Paper Company has been announced by Lamar M. Fearing, president. Jenkins will be responsible for all phases of the l,ong.Bell Division's bperations.

A veteran of many years in the lumber industry, he has served as corporate vice president and general manager of the timber division of the Cyprus Mines Corporation in Eugene, Ore. Previously, he was president of t}le Cascade Fiber Company and was president of the Booth.Kelley Lum'ber Company from 1947 until 1959.

Jenkins has been associated with various industry associations and has served as president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and as a member of the board of forestry of the State of Oreson.

Texqs Lumber Bqn

A biU has been introduced in the Texas Legislature to ban home builders in that state from using lumber olf non-standard sizes or with a moisture content above 19 percent and thus would eliminate "green" lumber and engineered dry lumber produced to the new lt/r-inch thickness.

Opposition from Texas retailers and wholesalers'is expected to be based (I) on the bill's proposed exclusion of non-standard sizes permitted by FHA regulations, and (2) on the measure's linking of size and moisture content, contrary to provisions of the present American Lumber Standards.

Section 4 of the bill states: 'oThe fact that lumber having a moisture content in excess of that specified above (19 percent) is being used daily constitutes a hazard to construction and a danger to the public at large, thereby creating an emergency ."

The bill provides a fine up to $200 for each violation.

Weyerhoeuser Sels Record Eornings ond Sqles in'64

With a 53 percent increase in net income and a 14 percent increase in sales in 1964, Weyerhaeuser Company experienced "the finest year in its history," Norton Clapp, president, has reported.

Net income for the year totaled fi67,627,877, or $2.21 per share, during 1964, he said, exceeding substantially the previous record oI fi64,767,647, or $2.10 per share, which was set in 1963.

Sales, setting a new record for the third consecutive year, totaled $63,332,281, he said, an increase of $81,434,990 over 1963.

"From a standpoint of progress and growth," Clapp said, "we are confident that the year 1964 is, in the long-range view,

simply the beginning. We are on the threshold of a promising future."

The record sales and earnings were not affected substantially by the W'est Coast storms and floods in December. Damage incurred was approximately, $I million, primarily to logging roads and bridges' This was charged against the 1964 earnings.

Clapp pointed out that the company's expenditures on additions to domestic plants, equipment and roads have totaled $504 million in the last I0 years, and said that the company intends to invest S275 million in capital projects within the next three years, approximately $f20 million of it in 1965. The largest projects now underway are a $30 million pulp and containerboard expansion at Springfield, Ore., and a $20 million pulp and paper project at

Plymouth, N.C., both scheduled for com' pletion next fall.

1965 projects announced to date include a $5.2 million expansion of the Cosmopolis, Wash., sulphite pulp mill; a $2 million project to install at Longview, I[ash., capacity for the newly perfected TSV process for manufacturing corrugating rnedium from softwoods; and a Barrington, N.J., project which will result in the largest shipping container plant in Weyerhaeuser's system.

To serve the growing demands of worldwide markets for cellulose, W'eyerhaeuser opened an office in Paris in 1964 for direct paperboard sales in Europe, Iollowing the 1963 opening of a Tokyo pulp sales office.

Weyerhaeuser Company in 1964 owned in fee a total of 3.6 million acres of forest lands, with 2.2 million acres in western Washington, Oregon and California; 600,' 000 acres in eastern Oregon and California; 5rlO,00O acres in North Carolina; 170,000 acres in Alabama and Mississippi, and the remainder in the northeastern United States and in Canada.

Interior Plywood Under Study

A disastrous fire in San Francisco last year, claiming the lives of four residents o{ {rame row houses, has created a flareup in Vashington, D.C., recently, due to what some officials allege caused the severe fire-plywood paneling allowing fast flame spread.

Following code restrictions passed in San Francisco requiring "fireproof" ,backing for burnable interior finishes, a proposal is pending before FHA to limit the use on a nation-wide basis of inflammable materials, including plywood, in the interiors of one and two family dwellings.

The National Lumber and Building Materials Dealers Asso' ciation has joined Il other industry groups to work with FHA in a study of flame spread ratings of interior finish materials. The twelve organizations comprise the newly formed Inter-Indus'

try Committee on Fire Safety, which has met regularly to discuss the contemplated FHA action to restrict the use of Class C interior finish materials. Speaking for the committee, Temporary Chairman Milton W. Smithman wrote FHA Commissioner Brownstein, 'olf this type of action were to spread, it would have a drastic effect on the use of interior materials, which cannot be justified."

Commissioner Brownstein informed Smithman that FHA does not intend to take any action on restrictions on the use and application of thin interior finish materials until a great deal of further study has been made of the problems involved.

More Associotion Mergers Seen

More mergers and more coordination of functions among forest products associations has been predicted by James R. Turnbull, excutive vice president of the American Plywood Association, in a speech before the National Association of Lumber Salesmen.

Turnbullo who took over as chief executive of the plywood association during a period of crisis in 1962, said l7 members had resigned before staff reorganization, some realignments of functions, and a dues reduction restored the association to normal. When proposals to merge West Coast Lumbermen's Assn. and Western Pine Assn. were acted on. Turnbull was 'oborrowed" to put the merger into efiect.

"That was another wonderful source of rumors," he said. "The head of the plywood association was suddenly the head of the new lumber association."

Increased interest for efrective use of natural wood for decorative effects in homes, business offices, hotels, motels, restaurants and other public buildings, has focused public attention on the wide variety of beautiful wood paneling now available in dealers' showrooms.

"It was easy in the days when the only decorative paneling we had was Knotty Pine," complains one dealer, "but what do you do now when there are 125 manufacturers producing who-knows-how-many different finishes."

At least one manufacturer, Evans Products Company, is offering a helping hand by supplying both a wide line of paneling and a complete promotion prog:ram designed to supply the dealer with all the infor-

mation and tools he customers.

sively report that Evans' broad range of finishes make it possible for them to satisfy over 90% of. their customers' needs in record time.

A brisk seller is Evans Lustre - Sheen prefinished hardwood paneling, top of the Evans paneling line. Lustre-Sheen is offered in 16 different finishes, from pale platinum to dark brown.

Promotional material, supplied by Evans free or at minimum cost to dealers, includes full-size display units, wall-hanging sample units, sample carrying cases, product description literature, planning and installation ideas for effective use of the products, and full-color brochures that give prospective customers an at-a-glance comparison between panel finishes.

Cqldoor Adds Sproy Products

Magic Spray Mask and Magic Metal L;ube Spray are two new products recently added to the'California Door Co. line for distribution to retail dealers, according to Art Parkins, general manager of the firm.

Magic Spray Mask is an easy-to-apply protective coating that saves up to 80 per cent on cleanup time during construction by eliminating costly masking tapes and their removal. The spray never hardens, never peels and it stops plaster burns. Just spray it on, and when your job is completed, wipe it off and you're done. It is ideal for protecting metal framed doors and windows while plastering or painting.

Magic Metal Lube Spray was originally developed for the care of louver windows, but has found its way into many fields. The silicone lubricating spray has a thousand

Dear Mr. 'Cutler:

May I take this opportunity of congratulating you on the recent issue of California Lumber Merchant.

The artieles and pictorial content are most admirable, and I was especially interested in your coverage of the various trade association meetings.

Dear Dave:

I am writing to you on behalf of our National lloo-Hoo-Ette president, Miss Pat Howard of United States Plywood at Redding,'We,California. meaning every member, of the Nabonal lloo-Eoo'Ettes

would like to express our appreciation to California Lumber Merchant for the coverage you have given to all of our clubs.

Here are just a few of the activities that our national boald members have attended to in the past months.

Pat Howard and Donna Dean took quite an extensive trip- in the hope of organizing new clubs. They travelled through California, Oregon, and Washington, from San Diego to the Washington border. They also flew to Vancouver, British Columbia.

It looks like a very strong possibility of forming clubs in Portland, Ot'egon; Seattle,

Washington (where a former Club #1 member will help organize\ and a strong possibility of a club in Vancouver, British Columbia. Of course if there is a club in Vancouver, this rvould mean we would be international. We have also received leads for possible clubs in Arizona, New Mexico, Nebraska, Ohio and Florida.

Pat would like to thank her board for their cooperation the past year as her term is coming to an end with the 1965 convention being held in Redding, California, May 15 & 16.

Sincerely,

conveyor each board is stopped momen' tarily while shadow lines are projected onto it. The operator scans the lumber for the most advantageous cut and as the shadow lines are adjusted by him the circle gang rip saws are automatically set electrically to make the same cuts the operator sees. From the saws the ripped lumber goes onto the sorting chain.

Every visitor with a knowledge of woodworking has commented on the ingenious cut-off arrangement. Both of these large units were designed by superintendent Jim

Fechner and 'built by Stockton Box in their own machine shop under the direction of James Cox.

These two phases in the working of stock were designed to increase quality and pro' duction and at the same time provide easier handling of the product by the oper' ator, Surfaced, ripped lumber is fed in units to each pair of cut-ofis by an over' head bridge crane and deposited on scis' sors lifts so the operator always has stock at a uniform and convenient working heilht. As the stock is cut off to desired lengths it proceeds by conveyor belts toward the automatic length sorter.

From the cut-off line conveyor the cut stock travels onto the automatic length sorter conveyor. This sorter has 25 adjust' able openings and can sort stirck from eight inches to seven feet long. Sorting can be done within one-inch increments. The stock drops into its own size bin and is then placed on pallets to be moved to other sections of the plant to be further worked into furniture, box and other components.

The moulding department is a straight' through operation. Lumber comes into the building and goes through twin band rip sa\rs to be sawed to width. This ripped lumber is then loaded on carts to be run

through the resaws and sawed to thickness. Then it goes through the stickers for shaping and into the moulding bay where car, loads are accumulated. The moulding capa. city of the plant is better than a car a d.y.

Besides mouldings, three fulI lines of furniture and box components, the Stockton plant produces industrial cut stock, furniture components, glued-up door panels, glued-up furniture blanks, drawer slides and backs, toy parts, cabinet components,

Iuggage parts and trailer and mobile home parts for cabinets and frameworks.
