U.S. Department of Commerce, for industry consideration and acceptance.

The chief purpose of this industry standard is to establish uniform specifications or quality criteria for hardwood veneered doors produced for stock, and included are standard designs and layouts, standard sizes and construction requirements, as well as methods of testing, grading, and labeling those doors that comply. It thereby serves as a basis of fair competition.

This revision and consolidation were proposed by the National Woodwork Manufacturers Association, Inc., and has been approved by the Standing Committees for both Commercial Standards. (Standing Committees are composed of producers, consumers, and distributors.) The principal changes are new bondage requirements and tests, a new warpage test, new types of core construction, new grading requirements and grade markings, and the addition of hardboard and plastic faced flush doors.

Limited copies of the Recommended Revision, TS-5383, Hardwood Veneered Doors, are available on request from the Commodity Standards Division, U.S. Depirtment of Commerce, Washington 25, D.C.

Nqtionql Dry Kiln & Processing Co. Instolls Modern Fociliries

The National Dry Kiln & Processing Company has been in operation for several years in the San Diego area but, in 1955, management and ownership changed hands. James W. Sullivan is president.

Officers of the new company, desirous of making available to lumber manufacturers of the San Diego area modern kiln and processing facilities, investigated modern drying equipment and, in 1956, an order was placed with Moore Dry Kiln Company at North Portland, Oregon, for the installation of a steam heated double track kiln 34' wide and 34'long. This kiln was completed in the early part of 1957, and has now been producing quality dried lumber for a year.
