New Western Pine 'lden Book'

The latest edition of the Western Pine Association's popular booklet for consumers, "Friendly Home Ideas," has been released for national distribution. Replacing an earlier edition of the same name-and continuing a series which has been made available to the public since 1936the 24-page booklet is to be distributed nationally through retail lumber dealers to answer requests stimulated by the Association's nationwide advertising program.

The booklet contains 85 photographs in color and black and white to provide ideas to persons planning home remodeling or building, or lesser homecraft projects. It was featured in the association's full-color ads appearing in October and November. The new publication is expected to "outsell" every previous item put out by the lumber group, according to predictions by the association's director of promotion, J. W. Sherar. The last edition, in less than two years, was distributed to about 500,000 persons.

Just 20 years ago this month, "Western Pine Camera Views" set the pace not only for subsequent Western Pine publications, but for many others.

Single copies of the literature may be obtained free of charge by writing to thc Western Pine Association, Yeon Building, Portland 4, Oregon. Rates for quantities of the booklet are available on r€quest.

The Costa Mesa City Council approved subdividing 45 acres into 223 lots in three projects: 30 acres on Gisler avenue, 10 acres on N. Wilson avenue east of Harbor Blvd., and 5 acres near N. Wilson street.
