The experience of Associated Plywood Mills dates frcm L92I. That is a long time in the relatively young plywood industrylong enough to mark APMI as one of the pioneers in the development and growth of this importanr building product.

The rich, rain forests of Oregon yield the fine Douglas fir that comes to APMI mills. These mills are among the largest and most modern in the plywood industry. They produce quality exterior and interior panels that are grademarked and trademarked.

APMI plywood is, available in major building and distriburion areas. Your inquiries are welcomed at our general offices, or at APMI sales warehouses.

Adminirtrrtivc Chenge Madc

San Francisco, Mar. l5-The U. S. Forest Service announced today that administrative shifts will be made April I for certain areas of the Shasta. Klamath and Modoc national forests.

Regional Forester Clare Hendee said "The transfer of certain areas is part of a reorganization plan that has been in progress since 1947 when the Six Rivers National Forest was formed on the western drainages of the Coast Range. The main purpose is to save money by taking advantage of newer roads and communication facilities, equilizing the work loads of the forests, and simpiifying our pragrams for developing and administering the forest resources.

"The transfer will not affect existing permits or agreements with forest users."

Administration of the Scott River drainage in Scott ranger district of Shasta National Forest will be transferred to Klamath National Forest. Mr. Hendee said this will permit full integration of timber resource development in the South Fork of the Salmon River with the southern portion of Scott Valley, and will unify the soil conservation program and water resource management of the entire Scott Valley as now. being carried out in cooperation with the U. S. Soil Conservation Service. As the Klamath's headquarters is in Yreka, the normal trading center for Scott Valley, this change will also result in a close tie between Yreka and the timber and grazing industries in southern Scott Valley.

Other administrative shifts are:

Virginic Hardwood Co. Har Nsw Modcrn Ncw Supcrviror of Coopcretivc Forc*ry

Officcr and Wrrchourc

Virginia Hardwood Company moved last December to its new offices and warehouse on its own property at 145 East I)uarte Road, Monrovia, Calif. The company specializes in flooring and hardwood products, and sells wholesale only.

Thc business was started in I'asadena early in 1950 and h:rs been a fast growing concern. Dave V. Ferrari, presi<lerrt ancl manager, has been associated with the wholesale llooring business for many years. He got his lunrber expcrience in the hardwood mills of the South.' Before starting the company he was associated with local firms.

1,.500,000 feet of flooring and hardwood products can be carried under cover in the new warehouse, and there is sufficient yard space available to store a million feet of rough stock. They have e<;uipment and trucks to makc <lelivcries.

Thc company's salesnlen are William A' I)ixon, Jack Sumrall and Clyde Hutcheson. Neil Bigelow, who was a member of the sales stafi, has been called back into thc Scrvice and is stationed at Camp Roberts; he will return to thc company when he gets out of the army. All the salesmen were with local hardwood concerns bcfore joinirrg the firm.

Glen Bessonette, of Bessonette & Eckstrom, Inc., Los Angeles, spent three rveeks in the Pacific Northrvest last month, calling on the various plywood mills.

San Francisco, Mar. ?}-F;mil H. Juntunen, inspector of c<xrperative forest protection work in the Lake States region of U. S. Forest Service, will transfer from Milwaukee to the San Francisco regional office April I to beconte suPervisor of !'orest Service cooperative protection work in California. He succeeds S, D. Jarvi, who has become assistant chief of the division of fire control for California region of the U. S. Forest Service.

The Clarke-McNary Act of. 1924 authorizes such funds for protection of forest and watershed lands which are State-orvned or privately owned. In California, the State Division of l.orestry adnrinisters the cooperative project, and the U' S' F'orest Service assists in tlre financing, planning and inspecting.
