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.
