Portland, Oregon-After a slow start, hampered by a log shortage caused, strangely, by last summer's severe drouth and this winter's deep pnows, the Douglas fir industry appears to be hitting its full stride.

Production for the first quarter of the year stands at 2.516 billion board feet, according to Harris E. Smith, secretary, West Coast Lumbermen's Association. This is only 110 million feet below first quarter record output of last year.

Smith reminded that the Douglas fir industry in 1951 had its greatest year. He said the demand for West Coast region's lumber was above normal years and shipments were holding close to orders.

The weekly average of West Coast Lumber production in Mar,ch was 2O7,492.000 b.f. or t10.8% of the 1947-1951 average. Orders averaged 192,018,000 b.f.; shipments 201,561,000 b.f. Weekly averages for February were: Production TO,170,000 b.f. (106.9% of the t947-I95I average); orders 193,923,000 b.f.; shipments 2OO,928,000 b.f.

Three months of 1952 cumulative production 2,516,038,000 b.f.; three months of 1951, 2,627,380,M b.f.; three months of 1950, 2,007,M3,000b.f.

Orders for three months of. 1952 breakdown as follows: Rail & Truck 1,719,573,0N b.f.; Domestic Cargo 503,873,000 b.{.; Export 158,868,000 b.f.; Local 121,806,000 b.f.

The industry' unfilled order file stood at 960,638,000 at the end of March, gross stocks at 1,028,349,000 b.f.

Lumber shipments of 498 mills reporting to the National Luinber Trade Barometer were 7.6 per cent above produc-

tion for the week ending April 5, t952' In the same week new orders of these mills were 9.8 per cent above production. Unfilled orders of the reporting mills amounted to 43 per cent of stocks. For the reporting softwood mills, unfilled orders were equivalent to 24 days' production at the current rate, and gross stocks were equivalent to 52 days' production.

For the year-to-date, shipments of reporting identical mills were 5.9 per cent above production; orders were 7.7 per cent above production.

Compared to the average corresponding week of 19351939, production of reporting mills was 77.9 per cent above; shipments rvere 87.9 per cent above; orders were 87.3 per (Continued on Page 48)

To insure an abundant supply of timber for the generations to come, the lumber production of the C. D. Johnson Lumber Corporation is kept consistent with the growth of its forests.

LUMB ERMEN'S ASSOCIATION

Van Nuys \(/holesale Concern

Represents Established \(/est Coast Mills

Ted Roy

Roy Forest Products Company, whose ad appears on another page in this issue, was established last May. Their offices are at 6310 Van Nuys Boulevard, Van Nuys. Their phone number is STate.5-1141.

This company represents established West Coast mills, specializing in tru,ck and trailer shipments from Oregon and Northern California. They handle Douglas fir, redwood, Ponderosa pine and a small amodnt of White fir. Eighty per cent of their volume is moved by truck and trailer, and the rest by rail.

Ted Roy, the owner, was born in Canada, where his father was in the lumber manufacturing business at Kirkland Lake, Ontario, cutting Spruce, Jackpine, White pine, Red pine, and Aspen. He attended Brandon lJniversity, Branclon, Manitoba, and rvhen his father was killed in an automobile accident his mother became president of the company and Ted was made vice president and manager. Most of their lumber was exported to Detroit. Buffa1o. and New York.

N{r. Roy served four years in World War II with the RCAF as flying officer. This included service in England.

Zoel "Zo" Bourdon, formerly owner of the Lankershim Lumber Co., North Hollwood, became associated with Roy Forest Produ,cts Companv as salesman in the latter part of March. He was in the retail lumber business lor 72 years. His father was in the retail lumber business in Santa Monica. "Zo" was born in Michigan and raised in Canada. This concern recently took on more office space when they added an executive office. This is finished in Baylaun Philippine Mahogany 16 inch panels, with U. S. Gypsum acoustical tile on the ceilings of both offices.

Building Products Dealer Data Book

Special exhibits featuring the Building Produ,cts Dealer Data Book will be displayed at the 1952 meetings of the Federated Associations, according to the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

The plan for the exhibits was first presented at NRLDA's board of directors meeting in Chicago last October by Russell W. Nowels. chairman of the Products Data Subcommittee, and with the board's approval the National has since prepared the displays. Each exhibit includes an actual Data Book and highlights typical pages so that dealers attending the meetings will be able to see exactly what sort of information the participating manufacturers have furnished and how the book can be used.

More than 3500 books have already been distributed to dealers, and the Federated Asso'ciations, through which the books are sold, anticipate an upswing in their orders as a result of this promotion at the meetings.

The purpose of the Data Book, the National points out, is to provide a much-needed service for retail lumber and building materials dealers by gathering under one cover all the basic information on the products they generally handle. Thus it can prove an invaluable counter-sales tool to the dealer and his salesmen.

The data sheets are provided by building products manufacturers throughout the country, with the stress on essential facts about the products. The book, NRLDA emDhasizes, is not an advertising manual.

Since the data sheets are assembled in an expansible binder, new pages can be added and manufacturers already represented in the book can bring old sheets up-to-date by furnishing substitute pages.

Regular mailings of supplementary pages are made through the Federated Associations. The second set of such sheets 'rvas distributed at the end of December, and it is expected that a third set will be made available within the next quarter as additional manufacturers enter the program.

Read in a newspaper the other day that April Z was the birthday of that very important wooden servant of the hurhan race-the tvooden match. Ever stop to think how much the invention of that small bit of wood changed the very history of man?

It seems that on April 7, t827, an obscure pharmacist named John Walker, who lived in Stockton-on-Tees, England, sold one hundred of what he called "sulphurata Hyperoxygenta Friction" sticks to a friend of his, saying that he had invented them. So the wooden match was one hundred and twenty-five years old on April 7, t952.

These one hundred little articles with the long name ivere small pieces of wood, on the end of which was a compound that burst into flame when struck across a rough, dry surface. Thus ended the centuries of dependence of man on the tinderbox, and flint and steel.

The idea caught on rapid$z as you would naturally sup pose, and it was just eight years later that the first wooden match factory was built and opened for business in the United States. And now Americans consume about 57 million matches with every hour that passes. Not all wooden matches, of course, for the paper match came along in 1892 and took over a large part of the match volume.

You don't hear or ,""u l-.,In loo,ra an. beginning of the match era, and many events of incomparably lesser importance catch the headlines. But the fact remains that very few inventions outside of important medicines, mean more to the average human, than that short sulphur stick with the very long name that John Walker made in L827. It looks like some place or other some fitting and lasting remembrance o{ some sort might justly be created in memory of him. **r<

Ask the average well-read man what was the first steamboat and who built it, and it's a ten to one bet that if he answers at all he will say it was the one that Robert Fulton built. In fact, in most of the lists that history hands us, Fulton's steamboat was one *t *an. great inventions.

But we have read about a book called "Steamboats Come True," written by one James Thomas Flexner a number of years ago, that disagrees very definitely with that opinion. According to a newspaper report on that book, Fulton's Clermont, which rrtn up the Hudson in 1807, was four years later than a steam tug built and operated by William Symington, which was named the Charlotte Dundas, and which made a trip on the Clyde and Forth Canal in 1803.

But there was still an earlier one or two. There was a man named James Rumsey who claimed he operated a boat by steam a year or so earlier than that. But the book is of the opinion that the first boat ever operated by steam ran for fifteeen minutes, back in 1773, at Lyons. What Fulton did was to combine what the others had learned by their experiments, thus making a very practical and useful steamboat. And, of course, all of the early boats were built of wood.

Readers of this journal who write us nurnerous friendly letters and thereby do much to keep up the morale of the organization, usually mention three of our special departments, the "Favorite Story," "Fun, Facts and Filosophy," and the "Vagabond Editorials." *

We looked back through the files the other day to see just when these particular departments and headings started, since it was far too long ago to remember off-hand. We found that the "Favorite Story," and "Fun, Facts and Filosophy," were both born in the same issue, that of March t, t923. So they "... i."tlt thirty years old.

Before that time we used short stories, short poems, bits of philosophy, etc., chiefly for fillers in the back part of the magazine. Beginning March t, 1923, and from that time on, such material, became the makings of the two departments referred to. And very popular departments they seem to have been. ;t<**

For many years previous to December L5, L929, we used the headline "Random Editorial Ramblings" over our chief editorial pages. The inaterial was not unlike our present "Vagabond Editorials," being unrestricted in their selection of subjects, the pages being divided into paragraphs, and short items. ***

The heading "Vagabond Editorials" was no doubt inspired by Thomas Dreier's great little magazine and bundle of original literature, "The Vagabond." In this he deals with any and all subjects that seem interesting to him, and the little "mag" is one of the finest things that can come to the desk of a thinking man. So our "Vagabond Editorials" have likewise been wandering in various directions since December 15, 1929, when they first appeared under that title. **>k

Ran on a printed idea the other day that was terrifically impressive. A man was talking about that first address that General MacArthur made to the Congress in Washington, after his return from Japan. He said that if, after the Gen-

eral had made that speech with the impressive quotation about old soldiers never dying, just fading away-if he had made that his swan song and thereafter quit public speaking-that speech would have gone down in history as possibly the champion oration of all time.

***

Get the idea? ft casts no refections on other speeches that the General has made since, or is capable of making, all of which are tops in eloquence. But, the thought is that the time, the situation, and that magnificent finale about old soldiers fading a\ray, made the speech sublime. It was like Patrick. Ffenry's "Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death." Such a speech can never be duplicated. It should by rights be a swan song.

This thought has no ,*rrl"ai"., political or otherwise.

Just a slant on that great speech from a strictly oratorical viewpoint. It just means that when a lruln does something so outstanding that there is slight chance of ever invading that same realm again, it seems regrettable from a strictly oratorical point of view, that it was not a sw:ln song; something for all orators to shoot at from then on. Of course, millions of Americans would regr€t to have the General retire from the list of orators. His greirt ability and influence belbng to his country, which is how it should be. Great and loyal men are the world's chief need, and their services to mankind are much more important than hanging up an oratorical record, of course. But if that Congressional speech with its tear-jerking ending had been a swan song, it would have rung a bell in the history of oratory that would have kept ringing forever. All speeches following that "old soldier" speech, must of necessity be oratorical anti-cllma)aes.

March Housing Starts 98,000

A total of 98,000 new permanent nonfarm dwelling units were started during March, up 27 per cent from February, according to preliminary estimates of the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. The FebruaryMarch rise was not as great as in most previous years on record, but, March 1950 excepted, new housing volume during March 1952 was at a record high for that month. Included in the March 1952 estimate were 12,0n new publicly owned units begun during the month.

Preliminary reports to the Bureau indicated a pronounced rise in new housing activity during March in the New England, Middle Atlantic, and East North Central regions, but evidence of some decline in the Mountain and fiest South Central States.

Private housing starts increased 16 per cent (11,80O units) from February to 86,000 new units in March, bringing the 1952 first-quarter total to almost 225,000. This figure was 10 per cent lower than the volume for the first quarter of 1951, the remaining three quarters of this year, 1952 will nevertheless be another million-unit year for new private housing.

A total of 18,100 new public units were put under construction during the first quarter of t952, compared with 11,400 for the comparable 1951 quarter. During the 9 months July-March of the l95I-52 fiscal year, 28,100 nerv public units were started in the United States. The majority of these (about 26,5n) represent units begun under the

50,0@-unit limit established by Congress (for the U. S. and possessions) for the fiscal year ending June 1952 for the Federal low-rent housing program.

Final 1951 reports show a total of 1,091,300 new permarrent nonfarm dwelling units started, compared with the Bureau's preliminary estimate of 1,090,@0, issued in January. Of the final total, 1,020,000 were privately owned trnits. One-family houses accounted for 87 per cent of prir.ate activity in 1951-a slightly larger proportion than in 1950.

Eureka Redwood Lumber Co. Buys Pacific Lumber Co. Mill at Eureka

San Francisco, April 10-One of the Redwood lumber "majors" changed hands today with the outright purchase of The Pacific Lumber Company's Eureka, California mill by the Eureka Redwood Lumber Company.

Joint announcement of the transaction was made by A. S. Murphy, president of Pacific and Thomas B. Malarkey, president of Eureka Redwood Lumber Company and also The M and M Wood Working Company of Portland, Oregon.

The mill and yard which occupies 55 acres not far from the center of Eureka is the old Dolbeer Carson plant which t'as founded 88 years ago and has recently been modernized. The sale included the plant, some 17,000,000 feet of lumber and the existing log inventory. It was reported the consideration involved was approximately $4,500,000.

Ooens Itll"atherstripped Easily T. M. COBB COMPANY

The Pacific Lumber Company operates one of the most modern and integrated Redwood mills in the West at Scotia, California. Mr. Murphy indicated the fundamental reason for sale of the Eureka property was the recent decision to place his company on a sustained yield basis, thus assuring operation, in perpctuity, of his Scotia mill. Pacific's timber reserves could not maintain both plants on sustained yield.

The Eureka Redwood Lumber Company is a wholly or,vned subsidiary of The M and M Wood Working Company, rvhose 11 plywood, door and lumber factories place it high in the ranks of the Wood Products Industries of the Pacific Northwest. Pacific will retain a management relationship with its former Eureka property, including the sale and distribution of the entire output.

"i\{anagement policies, working conditions, personnel and sales rvill not be disturbed in the slightest," Mr. Malarkey said. "The mill will operate apart from M and M's integrated operations, as a separate and autonomous unit.

"General manager of the Eureka mill will be Alden Ball, rvho served in similar capacity for Pacific. He has been employed at the mill since he was a youngster."

N{r. Malarkey indicated the basic motive behind the accluisition rvas M and M's desire to convert its timber holdings in Northern California. The several billions of feet of Redrvood owned by M and M is more tl-ran enough M and M timber to operate the Eureka mill on a sustained yield basis, thus assuring indefinite operation, he said.

Substantial expansion of manufacturing and drying facilities are contemplated. These additions will be in effect, the same changes 'ivhich had been programmed by Pacific.

C. E. "Chuck" Johnson, sales manager, A. K. Wilson Lumber Co., Compton, Calif., attended the annual convention of the Lumbermen's Association of Texas, held in Galveston, Aprrl 20, 21, and 22.

Thomcrs J. Fox Dr. Elmer S. Nelson

(Continued on Page 28)

Donner-Campbell Lumber Co., Lebanon, Kentucky, whose address, "Where Do We Go From Here ?" made a big hit with the large audience. Some extracts are as follows:

"I will agree that nothing serious probably will happen to our over-all economy in the immediate future, so long as the government continues to prime the pump and spend cur money to keep our business good. The danger sign is that the condition of that road ahead is in direct relation to the amount of political control exercised over our economy.

"As long as our government refuses to practice sound fiscal sanity and continues to move in fear of farm, business, and labor blocks, we will never have a sound, stabilized economy. And on this score f am intensely worried.

"It is ironical that some of the people who profess to be staunch supporters of this free America of ours constantly turn against it in order to enjoy some special benefits for themselves, their friends, their communities, or their industry-regardless of the worth or necessity. Throughout our nation, people in all walks of life long ago developed the philosophy with respeet to government and its funds that "we had better get ours while the getting is good" or that "everyone else is getting a slice of this money, so why shouldn't we ?"

"We do not like it," they say, "but, if it's going to be passed around, we will take some." We sit around today condemning our government for being profligate and for subscribing to this type of pork barrel philosophy. We rave and rant against those responsible for such luscious handouts, and yet when we, our friends, or our communities seem to be in line to receive one of these porks we, too, get itchy fingers. We cannot shout "economy" at our government, and at the same time take off our coats and dive into the pork barrel just because it happens to pass our way.

"As an example, recently the Chamber of Commerce in Louisville came out courageously-and I say that advisedly-against a federal public housing project for their community. Then local welfare workers and local political pressure groups started to work on them. They amended their statement to say, 'we are against public housing, as such, but if it is going to be passed around, we think Louisville should get its share.'

"Jefferson and Lincoln-two of the grandest men in American history-differed in political faiths, but there was one doc(rine upon which they both agreed-sanity and solvency of government. Let us, as patriotic citizens, deeply concerned with the future of our country, exert our every effort to stop useless spending and restore to America sanity and solvency in government. Let us force our political leaders back to the Jefferson and Lincoln policies

Edwcrd G. G<rvia Wcyne Mullin cud Don A. Ccmpbell of thrift, hard work, and plain old fashioned honesty. Let us strive to bring economics and politics into constructive accord."

James C. Downs, Jr., recognized authority on real estate trends, of Chicago, Ill., spoke on "What's Ahead For Real Estate ?"

Mr. Downs said he was optimistic about the future of the construction industry, and particularly in Southern California, where it is stimulated by the steady influx of people.

Attendance prizes were drawn for and awarded to the ladies who held the lucky numbers, and also to the men.

Wednesday Evening

The annual banquet, held in the Embassy Room, was a sellout. President Everett C. Parker presided. More than 525 people were present, and there were many renewals of acquaintanceships and friendships.

W. W. "Dick" Speer, manager, Hammond Lumber Company, Canoga Park, was chairman at the banquet. He paid tribute to the Association's exe'cutive vice president for the fine service he was rendering the retail dealers. He also paid tribute to The California Lumber Merchant and its publisher, Jack Dionne, saying the magazine means much to the retailers.

John Rees, Santa Monica, refugee from Lithuania, author, lecturer and student of national affairs, gave an interesting talk on "Life and Death Behind the Iron Curtain." He stated that "this land is the last hope of freedom-loving men and women."

Ladies who held the right numbers received attendance prizes.

Jack Aronson was musical director and master of ceremonies of the floor shorv. The entertainers were: Crystal White, Virginia Lee, The Four Colleens, Vic Perry, and Liberace. Entertainment was arranged and staged by Jean Meiklejohn.

Thursday

The Hoo-Hoo lucheon, sponsored by Los Angeles HooHoo Club No. 2, was held at 12:6 noon, $'ith Association President Everett C. Parker and Joseph W' Fitzpatrick, Snark of Los Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club presiding.

Rev. Louis H. Evans, Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Hollywood, gave the invocation.

Entertainment was provided by the Marimba Merry Makers, stars of stage, screen, rad.io, and television. Their music was greatly enjoyed, judging by the spontaneous applause. The group consisted of five girls and a boy, none of them over 13 years of age.

Lathrop K. Leishman, Crown City Lumber & Mill Co., Pasadena, officiated at the afternoon session.

Edward G. Gavin, editor of the American Builder, Chicago, addressed the convention on the "Outlook For Building This Year." The speaker said he thought the outlook for building is good lor t952,1953, and 1954, and that it is estimated that 1,000,000 new homes are needed this year. He criticized the restrictions on critical materials by the government, and said that mortgage money is adequate.

"Adam Must Have Sold Eve" was the topic discussed by Grant C. Ehrlich, general manager of Grant Chemical Co., Santa Barbara. He urged the need for increased selling effort by retail lumber dealers.

The last speaker was Dr. Elmer S. Nelson, supervisory economist in the Office of Price Stabilization, Los Angeles. Dr. Nelson made some interesting predictions, one of vuhich was that California, which now ranks second among the states as a cotton producer, will within a very few years be the leading state in cotton production.

Your Association Activities

Opening remarks by President E. C. Parker at the Annual Meeting of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association

This is the 35th Annual Convention of this association. The association was originally formed in 1913 by a group of prominent lumbermen in Southern California. It was organized for the purpose of doing everything that could legally be done to help the lumber industry, and that is still the policy. After a few years it was thought wise to extend this association to cover the rn'hole state, and this was done under the name of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association and functioned in that way for about twenty years. The problems in the North and in the South gradually became so different that in the early years of the last war, in about 1942, the association again functioned only in Southern California, from Tehachapi mountains and Santa Barbara south to the Mexican border. Lumber conditions from Bakersfield north are as difterent from those to the south as the difference could be in any tr,vo states.

Your association is a strong supporter of the National Retail Lumbermen's Association, and Park Arnold and Orrie Hamilton are on their Board of Directors. The functions of the National is to watch national legislation which might be against the interests of retail lumbermen, and to advise with and inform the many Federal control agencies of the problems of the retail lumber industry. One of the reasons for the recent liberalization of restrictions on building has been on account of the continuous and persistent efforts of Mr. Northup, the Natronal Secretary. At each session of the California State Legislature, bills are introduced which are against the interest of our industry, and

rvhen necessary, our association has a representative at Sacramento. Most laws are general in nature, and ofifrcials have much leeway in the administration of same. For instance, a few months ago, your Secretary and two industry men made two or three trips to Sacramento and in conjunction with a committee from Northern California, got changes in a proposed load binding regulation that saved every retail lumber man hundreds of dollars. Then too, your Secretary, with the association attorney, went to Sacramento on several occasions and got changes made in certain other administrative regulations, which saved practically all lumber dealers in Southern California more than his dues to this association for six or seven years. There are many things that an administrative offrcial can rightfully do for an association representing an industry that he cannot do for an individual company.

Your association feels that a knowledge of the cost of cioing business in our industry would be most helpful to lumber dealers, and lve are now conducting such a survey through the offices of a large national auditing firm. The association gets our a weekly letter giving among other things the production and sales of lumber in the North West-a most helpful item in trying to judge what the market on lumber may do. At considerable expense the various regulations and orders of the Federal control agencies are copied mailed to members. Also many other facts and useful information are compiled and given to members. The association has a compensation and accident and a

Madcme de Stcrel Describes Ncpoleon

Far from being reassured from seeing Bonaparte often, he always intimated me more and more. I felt vaguely that no emotional feeling could infuence him. He regards a human creature as a fact or a thing, but not as an existence like his own. He feels no more hate than love. For him there is no one but himself. All other creatures are mere ciphers. The force of his will cdnsists in the imperturbable callulations of his egotism; he is an excellent chess player whose opponent is all human kind, whom he intends to checkmate. His success is due as much to the qualities he lacks as to the talents he possesses. Neither pity, nor sympathy, nor religion, nor attachment to any idea whatsoever would have power to turn him from his path. He has the same devotion to his own interests that a good man has to virtue: if the object were noble his persistency would be admirable.

A Red Red Rose

By Robert Burns

O my luve is like a re{ red rose, That's newly sprung in June,

O -y luve's like the melodie That's sweetly played in tune.

As fair thou art, my bonnie lass

So deep in love am I; And I will love thee still, my dear, Till all the seas gang dry.

Till all the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt, wi' the sun; I will luve thee still, my dear, While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only luve, And fare thee weel a while, And I will come again, my luve, Though it were ten thousand mile.

How Ccrn You Ever Be Bored?

If you want never to be bored, start asking questions, and wait for answers. Harvard's famous geolbgist of many years ago, Professor Nathaniel Shaler, used to say to students in his studY:

"Gentlemen, between the chair where I am sitting, and that fireplace, there are a hundred thousand more unar"*"r"d questions than all the problems solved by all the scientists since time began."

One of those students, Ellery Sedgwick, says that stuck in his mind. ft was what helped him to make a great editor. He says: "It brought you up hard against the realization of man's place in the universal scheme. You saw yourself

standing on the isthmus which divides the microcosm of the illimitably gieat from the microcosm of the immeasurably small. Wonder, the beginning of wisdom, stole over you.

"There's the secret. Surrender to that feeling of wonder. Be thankful. Appreciate the infinite variety life offers you. Seek goodness and beauty in all persons and things and share your discoveries."

-From "The Spice Caravan."

Wrong Party

"Get my bag at once," shouted a doctor to his young lady daughter.

"Why, dad," she asked, "What's the dither?"

"A fellow just phoned who says he can't live without me," explained the doctor, grabbing his hat.

His daughter heaved a vast sigh of relief.

"Hold it, dad," she said quietly; "I think that call was for me."

The Calilorniq Poppy

The golden poppy is God's gold, The gold that lifts, nor weighs us down, The gold that knows no miser's hold, The gold that banks not in the town, But singing, laughing, freely spills

Its hoard far up the haPPy hills; Far up, far down, at every turnWhat beggar has not gold to burn?

-Joaquin Miller.

The AboundingrLile

No one has success until he has the abounding life. This is made of the many-fold activity of energy, enthusiasm, and gladness. It is to spring to meet the day with the thrill of being alive. It is to go forth to meet the morning in an ecstasy of joy. It is to realize the oneness of humanity in true spiritual sympathy.-Lillian

Whiting.

Some Bump

A tourist wanted to see some typical Western mountain scenery, so he hired a car and driver in Denver. He told the driver to show him the best lot of scenery he could in two hours time, since that was his time limit.

It was a hair-raising experience, the car careening over mountain roads at high speed, as the driver sought to give him his money's worth in the time alloted. It was rough going a lot of the way.

When the visitor was paying his bill at the end of the two hours, he thought he'd be a little sarcastic, so he said:

"What was a bump we hit about an hour ago?"

The driver got his drift, and was equal to the occasion. He said:

'"O, that was the Continental Divide."

group insurance plan, where, by reason of large coverage, dealers can get a much lower rate than they could individually.

There are problems of lumber dealers which are badlv in need of correction, but concerning which your association unfortunately can do nothing for legal reasons. I refer to what I call "Disorderly Distribution" in all its phases. The public, the contractor, and the dealer would be mucl-r better off if something could be legally done to correct the problem. There are, however, many things your association can legally do to help the 'ivhole industry to keep healthy and assist it to earn a fair return on its investment. For instance, the holding of conferences such as we held at San Diego some months ago are helpful, and conventions sucl.r as this one, where in addition to hearing fine speakers on current problerns, lumbermen can mingle and learn incidentally that their competitor is not such a bad fellow after all.

I will not burden you with the day to day activities of your association. Belonging to a good, strong association like this one is like knorn'ing a good doctor or a good lawyer. They seem unimportant until something happens and then what a satisfaction it is to reach for a telephone and know that you will receive the very best service obtainable.

We are most pleased with the widespread support of our association by lumber dealers throughout Southern California, and we are very appreciative of the support given us by the wholesale group, some of whom have taken associate memberships, others have placed exhibits at our conventions, or have advertiseC in our Year Book. With a continuance of this support our association and its capable Secretary can continue to help lumbermen throughout Southern California and can strive to do even more in the year ahead.

Thank you.

Five-Day Educational Program for Lumber Merchants Association Employees

Because of the great need for better trained personnel, the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California has planned a five-day Products Course for employees of its members in Sa.n Francisco. This course will 'concentrate on giving employees a thorough knowledge of the products covered, how to use them to the customers' best advantage, and how to sell them to the best advantage of the dealer. The school will be conducted from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, May 5 to May 9. Night classes will be held on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,7:30 to 9:30.

Arrangements have been made to house the men attending at the Whitcomb Hotel, and all classes rvill be held in the Georgian Room of the Whitcomb.

The instructors will be the finest available on the West Coast, and they will approach their subject from the practical standpoint of mer'chandising at the "over the counter" level of the retail lumber yards, with emphasis on the end-use and application of the products.

The Association rvill appreciate it if members rvill inform them if they plan to send one or more men.

Kenneth J. Shipp, president of California Builders Supply Co., fnc., and his wife have just returned from attending the National Plywood Distributors Association's district and board meetings in Chicago, New York and New Orleans.
