In Memory ol Harry W. McLeod

SeSO[be!; That the Board of Directors of this corporation records with deepest sorrow the death on December 27th last of their fellow Director, Harry W. Mcleod, vice president and manager of the Southern Division of this corporation.

His conne.ction with our Company has been continuous since 1903, and with our Southern California Division since 1905. There he achieved for our Company, through innate business ability and indomitable will, an outstanding leadership in the field of retail and wholesale distribution of lumber and allied materials in that area, and perhaps in the entire nation.

His term of management spanned boom and depression. His course knerv no variance : he labored only for the Company's lvelfare, sacrificing much and seeking but little in his personal life. When affliction visited his home, his fortitude and strength of character carried him on in the Company's work without abatement; and during the extended years of this sorrow, climaxed the last months by intense physical suffering on his orvn part, he was never knorvn to complain.

He stood high in the respect accorded him by the business community, tl.re industry, and the personnel of the Company which he served. His friends were legion. We give him this tribute : he was a Man.

Resolution passed by Board of Directors, Hammond Lumber Company, March 4, 1952.

\farm Springs Redwood Co. Ready to Operate lts Predryer

Manufacturers of redwood lumber will be interestcd in the news that Warm Springs Redwood Co. of Willits, Calif., will complete early in April a predryer rvith a capacity of 40O,COC feet at Willits. It is the expectation of this company that the predrl'g1 r.vill reduce their drying yard inventory by shortening the period of drying their lumber, and at the same time get rid of quite a bit of degrade such as endcheck, sticker stain, etc., which normally develops when the lumber is left in the drying yard for several months.

In speaking of the predryer recently Charles F. Wilsor-r, president of \\/arm Springs Redrvood Co., said: "The prcdryer is a u'ooclen building equippcd rvith far.rs, steam coils, and hot u'atcr coils. We intencl to use the hot lvater cor.rdensate from our dry kilns to produce some heat in the predryer, u'hich n'ili be supplemented as r-reeded lty di:ect steam lines from our ltoiler. It is contemplatecl that durini; the summer there rvill be very little use of steam in tirc preclryer, but in the 'w'inter time u'e u'ill probably havc to rurl stcaln alnrost continuously.

"\\re hope that lve rvill be able to take medium and liiqht stock straight fron.r the saur, and put it in the preclryer in which rve rvi1l maintain a maximum temperature of 110 degrees. We u'ill leave this lumber in the predrl'er until the moisture content is somen'here betvi'een 30 and 50 per cent, ar-rd then will take it out and put it into the dry kilns for the final drying."

This company purcl-rased a remanufacturing plant in Willits July 1, 1951, and immediately began constructiorr of dry kilns n'ith capacity of 200,000 feet, and the predryer. The dry kilns were completed late in February, and the first charge came out March 10. llr. \\rilson concluded by saying: "At the present time rve have a rough mill u'here 'lr'e break do'wn cants and resant- 2" lrrmber. This is graded and sorted and either goes to the dry yard or the planing mill. At the present tirne \\'e are also building a Bevel Siding Department, u'hich n'e are expecting to have in operation by I\{ay 1."
