Whv W"inton Lumber Has Earned the Rtpntation for " Dnpen d,uble Crud,e"

f{

rne 's A FELLo\r who makes his mark in the ^ ^ world ! He is the grader at \Winton's Martell Mill, and his keen eye and unerring pencil, give \Winton lumber its well-deserved reputation for dependable grading,

A trained grader can quickly size up a board as it comes down the sloping ramp dripping wet from the dip-tank. He marks the grade on the board with an indelible pencil on the end of the stick. Each grader uses a different colored pencil, so that it is easy to check on grading accur^cy.

PONDEROSA PINE SUGAR PINE WHITE FIR DOUGLAS FIR

\Tinton Lumber is manufactured by sawmill people who know their business. Their modern, capably-manned mills reflect great personal interesl in the quality of the product they manufacture. \Winton Lumber is as good as today's machinery, experience and " knolr,hou" can make it!

If you are looking for a steady source of supply for high-quality, de pendably-graded lumber, you should try \Winton. More than 67 years in the lumbering business stands behind every \Winton board.

How Lumber Looks

Unfavorable building weather in most parts of the country kept demand for home-construction lumber down but the dry Douglas Fir figures moved up in Crow's Lum,ber Price Index for April 18. A survey reveals that many wholesalers have restrained optimism about future demand as soon as weather improves enough to encourage building, although none expects a spurt like in recent years.

Lumber shipments of 492 mllts reporting to the National Lumber Manufacturers Assn. in the week ended April 13 were 4.57o above production and new orders were 1.9% aboie; production was 0.8Vo and shipments 9.2/o above the previous week Shipments of 119,536,769 feet were 5.6/o aibove production of 113,235,0b0 feet at 165 mills reporting to the V/est Coast Lumbermen's Assn. in the week ended April 20; orders were 3.3/o below. Orders of 82,166,000 feet and shipments ot 82,798,000 feet were 5.0% and 5.8%, respectively, above production of 78,238,000 feet at 119 mills reporting to the Western Pine Assn. in the week ended April 13 Production of 49,879,0W feet was up 3 million feet and shipnrents of 44,064,000 feet was up nearlv 11 million feet from Februarv at the 15 mills reporting to-the Cilifornia Redwood Assn. for March; they were off 12 million and2A million feet, respectivelv. from March 1956 when the prodqcers werc recovering fron lhe 1955-56 floods; M,arch orders were 2.8 million feet above shipments and stocks on hand were 472,598,000 feet Orders of 20,520,000 feet were 9.22/o and 9t1!nments of 19,699,000 feet,were 4.85/o above production of 18,787,000 feet at 101 mills reporting to the Southern Pine Assn. in the week errded April 13 .

NHW $ALE$ IDEA$ o . o

For many years, copper in its many forms has played an important part in construction. Flashing, dampcoursing, and all types of waterproofrng have been major uses of copper products. However, because of its unique texture, agelessness and workability, sheet copper has also been sold extensively for decorative purposes. Wall and door covering, paneling, fireplace hoods and other forms of decorative applications have been found to be excellent uses for thin sheet copper. Now the use of Copper-Armored Sisalkraft for paneling may also offer labor savings, as well as being original and decorative.

Most dealers are familiar with Copper-Armored Sisalkraft, a product u'hich consists of a sheet of pure electrolytic copper laminated to a sheet of heavy creped kraft. The sheet copper overlay comes in weights ol l, 2, and 3 ounces (per square foot). It is sold mainly as a flashing and waterproofing material. However, because of its light weight, strength, and variance of weights and widths, it is now being sold for various decorative purposes. Its firm crepe kraft backing offers the right amount of padding for texturing and assures a depth to the pattern. Few tools are needed to work with this copper. Ball peen or claw hammer, linoleum knife, scissors, or any small hand implement can be used for designing and texturing. A small dowel with one end pointed and the other end blunt is a handy texturing tool. Many and varied surface treatments can be created. The

Chuck Wagon Breakfast

A merchandising idea that hits the customer right in the appetite is making plenty of friends for a San Francisco grocery chain and it ought to be even better on a smaller scale for retail lumberyards that are interested in building do-it-yourself trade. The promotion is a free "Chuck Wagon" breakfast for customers. It was developed by the Lee Brothers grocery chain. The event has been so successful that up to 2,ffi0 persons have been served in a single Saturday morning. Bill Lee says: "Nothing has made more friends for our 15 stores in the Bay area than our Westein Chuck Wagon breakfast."

Although few lumber dealers would want that many people in their yard during a half day, the breakfast idea is such a proven customer-catch that it's well worth consideration on a smaller scale.

The Lee Brothers' breakfasts are prepared in a large, good-looking booth in front of the store. The booth is constructed of glass and big, strong panels of relief grain fir plywood on the exterior, enameled inside for sanitation. The ZZ-loot long, 6-foot wide and 8-foot high booth is built in sections for easy knock-down when breakfast is over. Customers begin lining up early for an old-fashioned cowboy style breakfast which consists of orange juice, three or four hot cakes with butter and syrup, one or two eggs pan-fried in butter, two pork sausages and a mug of coffee.

Lee Brothers use the breakfast to kick off the opening of a new store, and also to "hypo" stores whose volume may be lagging. Results are positive.

Selling Gopper-Armored Sisqlkroft for Decorotive Uses

imagination of the user is the only limitation to the versatility of Copper-Armored Sisalkraft. A permanent protective coating can be achieved by coating with a clear lacquer or plastic spray. Used over plywood, it makes an attractive hood for a kitchen range, or an interesting table top. Some dealers have sold this product for distinctive panels on the outside of homes. Not only does the copper serve as an attractive decor but it offers protection against moisture and vapor damage. Not only does copper bring a high dollar profit but additional profits are realized through "tie-in sales" of embossing tools, finishing hardware and protective lacquer.

A big advertising splash always precedes each breakfast. It ,consists of throwaways, two-column by eightinch ad mats in local newspapers, and mobile neighborhood advertising by truck and trailer. The booth used by Lee Brothers was designed by Walter Bates of Ray Winther Co., San Francisco engineers. Total cost is estimated at $600. It includes two electric ventilating units and complete wiring for the entire cooking set-up, as well as wiring for the public address system. Bolts and wing nuts hold the booth sections in place.

Cost of staging the Chuck \A/agon sessions is really negligible compared to the results, says Lee. "An ordinary give-away like a TV set," he says, "can arouse a lot of interest, but it only makes one person happy. We feel that we make everyone in the neighborhood happy. And that puts them in a mood to buy our groceries."

Or, in a lumberyard, it could put them in the mood to buy building *","tt.1r.* *

New Use for Plywood and Plastic

Building supply dealers in rural areas were shown in a recent issue of Farm Journal how farmers who raise turkeys can get triple use from the sun porch by the use of plywood and plastic panels, in which a turkey sun porch is used as a brooder house, rearing house, and for the breeding flock during the off-season. Poultrymen put up temporary sides of plywood and clear plastic, lay a temporary floor of roofing paper, and moVed in the brooder stoves. Those wanting plans should write for bulletin on Turkey Production, University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

The Associotion Sense

It has often been said that one great difference between men and monkeys is that men can and do profit by the experi,ences of others, while monkeys do not"

In Borneo the natives capture monkeys by a simple device. They cut the tops off of cocoanuts, put a slip knot with a trigger on it over the top of the hole, and in the cavity they place an eatable of which monkeys are very fond. S&rortly a monkey thrusts his pavr into th,e hole, the trigger springs, and the monkey is caught tight by the wrist. Then what happens? He cries loudly, and th,e other monkeys gather to see what's bothering him. Seeing his predicament, others stick their fists into the h,o1es in other cocanuts the natives have plac,ed close by. They just have to find out rvhat made the first monkey holler. And th'ey do, just as he did.

Now, if those monkeys had possessed the associational sense, that couldn't have happened.

Each business man works out his business problems, has his own experiences, bitter and sweet, and they are filed in his memory and his books. Each other man does the same thing. To each come experiences, ideas, thoughts, etc., t,hat probably come to no other. Separately, his experiences help only hims,elf.

But collectively they help ali those who join in cooperative and association work. The experience of each member becomes the property of them all. One merchant would have to live long to get all the experiences he can get by belonging to an association of .his own kind. The experience

A forest is a crop of trees.

,k ,<

It took the lumber industry a whole lot of years to get that thought over to the public and the press.

{<**

For years the lumber manufacturers were frequently described as tree murderers, and destroyers of the forests.

But the fact is. tor"r,*irl J*o" of trees, an'd unless t&rey are harvested while healthy and young, and sound in their fiber, their great service to mankind is lost. ,<*t<

Truth will prevail if it is repeated often enough, and today the fact that forests are a great renewable asset no longer has to be argued with intelligent people. ***

This does not mean that all q'ho cut down commercial forests, and make trees into lumber, replace them with young and growin* at"a". * * *

But the replacements of forests has become a mighty industry-the timbered areas of the nation now point with pride to the constantly growing number of manufacturers who will run their mills "from now on."

And the list will "or,tir]r" ir :."* as the efforts of numerous concerns working in that direction find their efforts have proven fruitful, and can claim continuous operation of their manufacturing facilities is assured.

Result: dozens of trr*u.*t tl.rrLr."aorers in various parts of the country now incorporate with pride into their business announcements the fact that they have a continuous supply of timber. * ,< :t

For reasons that would fiU this page if detailed, all trees of commercial value cannot be subjected to efforts at replacement. But with those that can, the industry is doing a continually improving job and has much to be proud of.

"We raise our own trees" is a statement that is now regularly incorporated into the publicity statements of many lumber manufacturers throughout the land.

And scores of them go still further in describing their modern methods of doing business, as they install equipment and methods for securing larger and better percentages of commercial recovery from ttreir trees. Barkers and chippers are two of the machines being installed continually in going mills. {< ,6 *

"We utilize everything but the squeal" the modernizing meat packers announced many years ago. And today scores

BY JACK DIONNE

of lumber makers can claim to utilize almost everything but the sound of those saws in their mills. There is migtrty little wasted wood in a modern mill operation today. And it grows steadily less. * :r +

Even men with the most vivid imaginations a generation ago could hardly have conceived the things that could and would be done with a forest of commercial trees and the end is not yet, for doubtlesb more innovations are coming, newer products will be developed. ,< *

The lumber industry was slow to catch the modernizing trend, but since it started it has done itself proud.

Each species of commerl*r-**u has its own characteristics and likewise its own limitations. Various species lend themselves more readily than others to various kinds of manufacturing and remanufacturing, and therefore are cut, and fitted, and glued, etc., into a greater number of finished products than others. It is frequently a matter of fiber.

Let it simply be said,h"l ";;.rcial woods are now used in a greater variety of ways than ever before. And the trend grows. :8 i< :r

Thomas Dreier, in his fine literary rnagazine, "The Vagabond," recently printed a little essay on "Trees and People" that has much merit and beauty. Written by George M5rers Stephens, it follows:

"When I see a bulldozerman, on a new building site, toppling trees like a small boy trying his new hatchet, it sets me to thinking-

"flow two small elms set out when our little family got its first very own home (twenty short years ago) have grown into a cool canopy to shade the roof and cover our outdoor dining room

"IIow a grove of pines we barely saved breaks t&re north wind so that many a winter day seems like spring in our yard.

"How a little Christmas tree spruce set out from a tub in the living room now rises above our roof-top

"How a couple of apple trees planted in far-off hope now reward us and the neighbor children with red and yellow fruit

"FIow across our street the great dome of an ancient white oak shows proud against the evening sky while its brother next door stands starved and thin after needless grading...

"flow my drive home from hot, treeless streets plunges into forest coolness like entering a different climate.

"Ifow a few trees absorbing the heat to evaporate tons of water a day do more cooling-free-than a thousand-dollar air conditioner.

" 'Dozerman, spare that tree'."

Becruriful Trophies

Roy Stonlon qccepl3 the leogue's permonenl lrophy from Vern

The Stanton Timberwolves in the "800" Handicap League of the Huntington Park Bowling Center, walked off with eight beautiful trophies last month when victory was won by a total of six pins. So tight was the race that Ceco Steel placed fifth in the 12-team league.

Roy Stanton, Jr., executive vice-president of the Los Angeles wholesale lumber concern, accepted the permanent trophy from Vern Griffin, president of the league and owner of the Bowling Center, at a ceremony honoring the team April 8.

The contest this year was the closest in 10 years of bowling by Stanton teams. In 1956 this same group finished third, and this year the boys led the league in total pins and also won an additional prize for high single team game of 1065.

Jess Beristain was captain of the winning team, aided by Ferd Haas, By Harmon, Milt Pastornak, Jack Thomas, Lloyd Webb and Max Krause. Stanton Swafford, sales manager of the firm, also attended the presentation, following which the Timberwolves were wined and dined in gala style for their efforts.

Are Unirized Lumber Shipments Gening Any Closer?

By ROBERT B. BROWN, Materials Handling Director, National RCtail Lumber

Dealers Assn.

ft has been proved, as conclusively demonstrated at the last National Retail Lumber Dealdrs Association Exposition, that boxcar shipping of lumber in units is feasible and practical. The savings to retail lumber dealers are tremendous if they can unload these cars with fork trucks. The savings also are appreciable in unloading these cars by hand since there will be no damaged lumber, and it is much easier for the men than working a "jumbled car."

Now the big question remains, "HOW CAN ALL DEALERS GET UNITIZED LUMBER CARS?"

There are many problems that must be overcome and they begin with the dealer. We should agree on standards for the units of lumber. What size units do we wantwidth, height, number of pieces in each ? Will we wanl mixed units with more than one length, size, or type o1 lumber in them ?

Unit of 2x4s being removed from 40' double door boxcqr ot Sr.rling lumber Co., Chicogo, by 6,00G1b. cspqcity fork truck Merhod of "lwisling" unil oul of rqr when lt is longer thcn door opcning. Power st €ring ond sidc-rhifi on fork truck orc dc0nite odvonlcgc in rhis opcrqtion

The permanent Materials Handling committee ol NRLDA has suggested standard units, and these have been reviewed by a similar committee representing the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. To date, action to approve them has not been taken by either committee. The nominal size of these units is 4 wide and 2' high. All lengths up to 14 unitized in this fashion can be handled by a 4,0o0-pound capacity fork truck. 16'and 1& lengths will require a 5,000-pound capacity truck, and.2A lengths will require a 6,000-pound truck. The heavier units can be halved, so that the smaller truck can handle them by the use of easy-entry plates or polished and tapered forks.

A double-door boxcar is required to unload the 4'-wide units, so perhaps narrower units are indicated. Experiments are currently being conducted in the Boston area under the direction of John Mitchell of Field Machinery Company, Cambridge, Mass., with 3'-wide units. Using the initial system that was developed, these units can be unloaded from a boxcar with an S'-door opening. However, since most units of building materials are 4' wide and since the majority of yards handle 4'-wide units, perhaps the 3' units will be too inconvenient to handle.

J. W. McCracken, Leechburg Lumber Co., Leechburg, Penn., has devised a unit system which uses ?-wide units. A major advantage of this system is the fact that these units can be unloaded from a car with a 6'-door opening and, when a double-door car is used, two units wide can be handled at one time, as most dealers would handle them in the yard after the car is unloaded. Of primary importance to smaller dealers is the fact that a method of unloading the Z'-wide units without the use of fork trucks is being de' vised. More on this when it is perfected.

be given to the availability of raii cars. Many dealers feel the railroads should build special cars for our industry, but this is a practical impossibility since there is not enough lumber shipped by rail. In 1955 approximately 7c/o of all rail shipments were "Products of Forests." One-third of this or 2.3/o of the total lvas lnmber. The railroads cannot afford to build "one-\\'ay" cars that would be used only for lumber, for this comparatively small volume of freight.

According to the Association of American Railroads, on all railroads in the United States tl.rere are 634,486 general service 40-long boxcars. 77.2% of these have door openings of 6' lI" ctr less, 5/o have lV doors, .l/o have 13' doors, 2.1/o have 1{ doors, and .8/o have 15' doors. There are 88,7131 boxcars 50/ long, of which 9.9/o have doors d 11" or less, 9.5/r. have 12' doors, I1.8% have 14r doors, and 27.1% have 15' cftrors. Of the total of 723,267 cars avail-

able to ship lumber, 13.5/c have door openings oi 12'or more.

Considering the fact that there zrre not alu'ays enough double-door cars for products now usually shipped in them, perl-raps the standard units should be of a size that can be shipped in any car. The railroads are trying to catch up rvith the demand for the double-cloor cars, rvhich is er.idenced by the fact that 65'/c of the cars no\\' on order l)y ail the railroads har.e door ()penings oi 12' or more. Even so, it may be years before there u'ill be enough of these cars for all shippers rvho u'ant them.

Probably the greatest obstacles to unit shipping of lumber are the mills. A few of them welcome the advent of unit shipping, since it will mean a labor savings to them.

These mi1ls have no great problems rr,ith structural changes in shifting from hand to rnechanical loading. Horvever, the majority of mills feel that they lr,ould have to spend thousands of dollars raising tracks, increasing overhead clearances, or rebuilding lr.rading docks to get the necessary rvidth. Add to this the cost of the necessary handling ecluipment. They are \vorking on the \\'hole problem and r,r.ill ultimately solve it, but it rvill take p1ent1. of time.

I{any retail dealers have said they r,vill change mills if those they are accustomecl to buying from t'ill not provide the lumber ir-r units. This rvill be an influencing factor in getting individual miils to make the change. Unit shipping of lumber is progress, and mills-like other businesses, mttst keep up with progress.

West Coost Lumbermen's Assn. Annucll Urges Mill Members to Step Up Adverrising or Lose Business

Douglas fir millmen were told last month they are at a crossroads in their history. They must step up their national advertising and promotion programs or abandon much potential lumber business in home building and construction to'rvell-financed competitors.

"We have no choice," said N. B. Giustina in his president's report to the 46th annual meeting of the West Coast' Lumbermen's Association. "We must meet competition head-on with more advertising and promotion, or admit that we have quit fighting." Guistina said that every proclucing sau'mill should be doing its share to help in this national promotion.

Robert M. Ingram (above), Aberdeen cedar manufacturer and one-time captain of the University of Washington foot: ball team and crew, was elected president to succeed Giustina. Newly elected vice-presidents include C. Henry Bacon, Shelton; George Flanagan, Medford, and Judd Greenman, Portland. Re-elected were Jack Fairhurst, San Rafael, California, vice-president; Eliot Jenkins, Eugene, treasurer; If.

\r. Simpson, executive vice-president, and Harris Smith, secretary, both of Portland.

Jenkins pointed out in his annual report that national magazine advertising has increased in cost during the past five years and that the price of all the printed promotion literature gotten out by the association has risen. He said the same dollar today bought less advertising and less printing than in 195O. He urged a realistic approach to fttture lumber merchandising, with an adequate financial support from all segments of the industry.

Other speakers included Hermann N. Mangels, San Francisco, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San I?rancisco; Walter Leuthold, Deer Park, Washington, president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association; Don Ostensoe, president of the Oregon Advertising Club: F. L. Mattson, WCLA insurance director, and Judd Greenman. A 41-man board of directors was elected'

Mqrch Housing Stqrts-83rOOo; Totql 1956 Sfqfis-l rl | 8,1OO

The preliminary estimate of 83,000 new nonfarm dwelling units started in March makes a total of 2l3,tJ0O starts the first three months of this year, compared with 252,IOO last year. This brings the seasonally adjusted annual rate dowr: to 880,000 units.

A downward revision in the December figure of 400 units brings the final total estimate of starts for the year 1956 to 1,118,10O units, reports the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

The 83,000 March housing starts were an increase of.28% over February, the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of tabor Statistics reported. The March total was 16/o under ayeat ago, however, and the lowest for any year since 1949. It included 75,5m private and 7,500 public nonfarm housing rrnits. The exceptionally large number of new public housing units placed under construction during March were all in the Capehart military housing program.

Final Figures for 1956

The final reports for 1956, shor,r'ing a total of 1,118,100 nonfarm dwelling units started during the year, was 16/o lower in 1956 than in 1955. Construction of single family houses, which accounted for nearly 89/o ol the 1956 total, was 17% below the record set in 1955. Sharpest cutbacks in homebuilding in 1956 were in the metropolitan areas, wherc housing starts were down. 20/o, compared with only 4/o in the non-metropolitan areas. Regionally, the 1955-56 decline in nonfarm housing starts ranged from l4/' in the South to 19/o in the West.

Sierro-Coscqde Logging Conference Heors Top Speokers

Sacramento, Calif.-Forest improvement work can be "profitable, but we need to know more about our young forests, the properties of young-growth wood and the prospects of future markets to properly plan this work, said Professor Dietrich Muelder on the opening day of the Sierra-Cascade Logging Conference here Feb. 14. He is a visiting professor of forestry from Germany now on the stafi of the University of California School of Forestry.

Great progress in forestry in California was predicted at the Conference by Charles A. Connaughton, regional forester, United States Forest Service. He contrasted this state's forestry development with that of the South, where he was regional forester before coming to California. Forest , protection from fire, insects and disease in California is already, in some respects, ahead of the South, Connaughton said. He declared that the opportunities for forest management are being recognized.

California has the wood resource and the water to permit a great expansion of its wood pulp industry, Paul Bonderson, California State Water Pollution Control Board, told the loggers at the Conference. An important factor will be the treatment and disposal of waste, he said. The state now has six pulp mills with a total capacity of 52I tons per day.

Chipboard is the newest and fastest growing wood product in America today, the loggers were told on the second day of the Sierra-Cascade Logging ,Conference. Bru,ce .Jones, research. director of the Shasta Plywood division, U.S. Plywood Corporation, said that seven years ago the

product was non-existent. By the end of 1956, at least 50 plants were actively producing or nearing completion. Jones outlined the various methods for producing chipboards and told of their use for decorative panels and in the manufacture of furniture. He said that progress is being made toward the development of a panel for exterior use.

Modern loggers are faced with steep country logging

problems the same as the old-timers were, but modern equipment can make rough ground logging pay its way, said H. E. Norton, Feather River Lumber Company, in a talk to the Conference.

D. H. Rogers of the Big Bear Timber Company, Red, lands, California, described the public interest in logging in Southern California, at the Sierra-Cascade Logging Con,ference. He discussed the integration of the recreation and watershed objectives of forest management in Southern California with the logging operations necessary to keep the forests healthy. The public concept of forestry from 1915 on, in Southern California, was to keep loggers out and preserve the woods, Rogers said. Finally, the overall expenditures for direct insect control became exhorbitant and it was evident that recreation values would be difficult to maintain unless the woods were put under management. For the last three years large scale sanitation-salvage operations have been conducted to clean up overmature areas.' The scene of operations has been the mountain playground of the 6 million people of Los Angeles. In 1956 the San Bernardino National Forest alone registered 5,853,000 visitors. Rogers des,cribed the constant public relation work done by the loggers and forest managers to obtain public acceptance of the woods operations.

New developments in logging machinery, especially for handling small timber, were described by R. D. Salter, special representative for the Caterpillar Tractor Company, at the Sierra-Cascade Logging Conference. Salter forecasts increasing operation in small, second growth wood. He expressed the willingness of equipment manufacturers to

work with the loggers in developing the right tools for second growth logging problems.

The use of powerful mechanical muscles to do the logging job cleaner, faster, and at less cost was explained at the Conference by A. W. Jordan, Drott Manufacturing Corp', Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In the past two years, more engineering time and know-horv has been spent in developing proper equipment for the logging market than any other single application and "we haven't even started," he stated.

C. R. Arment, forester for Diamond Match Company, explained at the Sierra-Cascade Logging Conference his company's plans for removing and utilizing the suppressed, weak and defective trees, from second growth stands of timber. Arment described the intensive study made of company-owned young growth and small and defective logs which resulted in a decision to construct an integrated forest products plant at Red Bluff. Arment's talk was one of several by loggers and foresters on the Conference theme of managing young growth timber. Conference discussions concluded Feb. 16 with demonstrations and parade of one of the largest exhibits of logging equipment ever held in the United States. The public was invited to this Loggerama at the Fair Grounds race track from 10:00 a.m. to noon.

CBS-TV Gomerqs Poy Visil ro lO7-Yeor-Old N. Y. Lumberyord

Cross, Austin & Ireland, 107-year old lumber company, played host to a television program on Sunday, March 31, when the CBS public affairs children's show, "Let's Take a Trip," took one of its weekly half-hour trips to this 25-acre lumber yard and mill in the heart of metropolitan New York. Viewers in 94 cities between New York and San Francisco saw at first hand how the lumber that goes into their homes, schools, furniture, etc., arrives by water from the timberlands and is taken off lighters by booms, placed on automatic rollers and transported to the mill area. Brtzz and rip saws were demonstrated and the television audience also got a look at chemical treatment which renders the planks fireproof.

In business since 1850, Cross, Austin furnished the lumber for all the docks and piers of the New York waterfront, the wood which backed up the iron on the famous "ironclad" Monitor of Civil War fame, scaffolding used in constructing the TV antenna on top of the Empire State building, the planking which covered excavations for New York's oldest subway, as well as its newest, and all the structures of the 1939-40 New York World's Fair. Right now the firm is busy shipping lumber to the South Pole for Operation: Deepfreeze.

To host the half-hour television program and its preparations was a job of almost equal stature. The yard was in partial operation for four hours on the Saturday morning of the telecast weekend so that Cross, Austin employes could rehearse with the cast. Then it opened up again on Sunday morning at 2 a.m. so the CBS field crew could bring in the half-dozen cameras needed, set them up, attach the mile or more of cable and connect the lines, a three-orfour-hour job that had to be completed by 6 a.m. when the show cast and Cross, Austin performers began the final round of rehearsals, this time before the cameras.

Ilost on this visit to Cross, Austin was its president, Colonel T. Brvan Williams.

Wesfern Pine Assn. Honors Veteron Lumber Groders

Two veteran western pine lumber inspectors, Vern Johnson and Jack Stewart, widely known in the industry, were among four long-time staff members honored for long service records at the amual Western Pine Association meeting in San Francisco, March 9.

Johnson, chief of the association's grading bureau since 1929, joined the staff 37 years ago. He heads a staff of 29 lumber inspectors charged with maintaining grade standards for the 440 producing mills of the association. More than 27/o of. the nation's softwood lumber production comes from the Western Pine mills.

J. W. (Jack) Stewart came west in l9l4 from Wisconsin and Minnesota, where his father was a logger. In his 38 years of grading, some 100,000,000 feet has passed under his critical eye. He continues in active service, with residence at Spokane, Wash., but almost always "on the road," checking grades at producing mills or working in the East on inspection assignments.

The two others, given recognition for long service with the association are Mrs. Alene Freeman, cashier-bookkeeper, 34 years, and Hugh A. Gillis, traffic manager, 30 years.

3. Approval by Commissioner John C. Hazeltine of the

"This is a big day for San Diego," Mr. Hunter said as he announced the approvals. "These actions will help you solve lihe many problems that arise in a fast-growing large city on the West Coast."

Hunter also mentioned the recent announcement by the Federal National Mortgage Association, an HHFA constituent, o{ a new program in its special assistance operations which is to be inaugurated in San Diego. IJnder the program FNMA for the first time will issue commitments to buy mortgages to help finance the construction of multifamily projects. Heretofore such commitments rvere issued only on 1- to 4-family housing. It is expected that some 3,000 such multi-family dwelling units will be built in San Diego under the program to ease a shortage of rental accommodations for defense workers in the area.

Workable Prograrn

With a current population of approximately half a milliou, San Diego has been booming ever since World War II. It has been adding 27,W to its population every year, many of them workers in the city's aircraft and electronic plants.

The increase in population has been matched by an upsurge in residential construction. New homes have mushroomed by the thousands on hills that were barren only months ago. Between 1950 and 1956 some 30,000 nelv homes

The famous Firefall, delayed nearly "We can all lose our freedom and liberty-our American an hour u'hile the crowd brought the Gateway Singers back

The following quotes are from the talk by Dr. Lantos, a Hungarian native from Budapest and recently a lJniversity of Washington teacher. He has just completed a world tour and gave the dealers these points to think about:

"The world is very near the boiling point-continually just below it ." "The American economy is increasingly reflecting international conditions . ." "Consumers are still largely optimistic-one of the two major bolstering influences in our economy . . ." "I see no tax relief, no Federal budget cuts in sight ." "I predicted the 1.3 million housing starts in 1955; I now predict a further 1957 fall from the 1956 starts."

Signing off with the thought that one end of the human body can absorb more than the other can, Speaker Gange advocated that President Eisenhower implement the recommendations of the Hoover Commission Report.

TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 9

At 9:00 a.m., some 100 dealers gathered in the Indian Room to participate in a recent innovation in the association's annual convention program-the LMA Members Workshop-a chance for dealer members to get together and discuss problems of mutual interest and their possible solution.

Hamilton Knott, owner of Yosemite Lumber Company, Fresno, who spoke on the subject of Advertising. Knott. rvho prior to entering the lumber business was in advertising, spoke with authority when he stated that all too often dealer advertising was being handled in a "catch-ascaJch-can" method. Advertising should not just be carried along on arr "out-of-the-till basis," Knott explained. Dealers

should make up a budget for advertising (somewhere around 2/o of consumer sales) for a full year in advance. "One-shot advertising is fine for the seasonal lines," Knott stressed, "but consistency will prove of most value to us."

Knptt went on to discuss the value of difierent types of' media-radio, TV and newspaper-and Yellow Page adver- . tising in particular. Altogether too often overlooked, Knottrr;,,-, proved by a survey of the dealers present that over X)% '. of them use the Yellow Pages regularly when they want to find out where to buy a product. A further survey of the 'j dea1ersalsoprovedthevalueofclassifiedheadings(for each of the lines carried by a business) over using one :1 catch-a1ldisp1ayadunderonegeneralheading.

During the question and answer period, Dealer Larty King, King-Marshall Lumber Company, Bakersfield, asked about the value of newspaper classified advertising.

"Classified ads," Knott explained, "appeal principally to the bargain hunters; therefore, place your classified advertising with that in mind."

"I've noticed that grocery stores usually run their specials in the Thursday papers. Would this be the best day for us to run our weekend specials ?" asked Frank Heard, partnel -:' in Motroni-Heard Lumber Company, Woodland.

"Any mid-to late-week issue would be best for your weekend specials," Knott answered, "but if your message is especially to women, your Thursday paper would be " your best bet."

"Does extensive consumer advertising impair your business with contractors?" asked Joe Kirk, Kirk Lumber & Building Materials Co., Santa Maria.

"Definitelv not," reDlied Knott. "contractors have found

Paul Ely and Gene Flack, sales counsel and director of advertising for Sunshine Biscuits, Inc.

Ely, who spoke as "one lumber dealer to another," paid high tribute to Jack Pomeroy and Dealer Joe Kirk for their excellent management of LMA afiairs and their good work in NRLDA matters; Pomeroy is currently a member of the NRLDA 1957 Exposition Committee, and Joe Kirk is a member of NRLDA's executive committee representing California.

Besides detailing the drastic evolution in lumberyard merchandising during recent years, Ely went on to outline the many benefits derived from association membership.

"Your Association," E'ly stated, "is the life line of your business. ft represents you in government matters; it helps prof,note better over-all industry relations; and it &ras been extremely successful in maintaining and promoting proper channels of marketing and distribution."

Ely went on to state that the NRLDA was recommending to Congress that VA home-financing be dropped on July 1 and absorbed into FHA (maintaining a special benefits department for veterans within the FHA framework).

The president of NRLDA also urged an extensive program of selling the lumber industry to our young men of high school and college age.

"This is one of our biggest problems," Ely noted, "and the other major industries are capitalizing on it. Because we are doing an inadequate job of selling our industry to our employes and executives of tomorrow' we are faced with having to sell our industry to our employes of today."

Tn closing, Ely declared that the home-improvement trend

Of special interest to the lumbermen present was Flack's statement that America has undergone a 260/0

increase in population since Pearl Harbor days-14,000,000 new families to house-and that this trend was accelerating, not decreasing.

Horborite Plqns Big Advertising

"We're planning for the biggest years in Harborite history by making it the most advertised and publicized overlaid fir plywood in America !" That was the statement voiced by Martin Deggeller, president of the Harbor Plywood Corporation, at the annual sales meeting of company executives and warehouse managers at the firm's national headquarters in Aberdeen, Washington, April 15-19.

Already termed the nation's largest selling overlaid fir plywood, Harborite will continue its efforts to increase its share of the market, Deggeller promised.

Harborite advertising will create more than 15 million reader-impressions through big double-page ads in leading trade publications reaching dealers, building constructors, architects and engineers, boat-builders, "Do-it-yourselfers," civic and s'chool officials and other fields where the product has extensive use and potential.

"B4cking this tremendous advertising campaign will be a consistent public relations and publicity program designed to keep the Harborite name, and its thousand-and-one uses, rvell in the minds of our customers," Degeller said.

WRCLA to Push Cleor I&G Poneling

The Western Red Cedar Lumber Association is expanding the scope of its services to include the clear grades of T&G Paneling. "Our member mills are receiving an increasing number of inquiries about paneling," declared Don Johnston, president.

Clear grades of T&G paneling are used in a variety of ways on both interior and exterior walls, as well as on ceilings, soffits and gables, and applied as siding vertically. It is available in widths from 4t to 10" "B & Btr," "C" and "D" grades packed to handle easily.

A printed guide on cedar paneling, describing its properties and uses, may be obtained by writing to the association, 4403 White-Henry-Stuart Building, Seattle 1, Washington. The association will continue to provide information on Western Red Cedar beveled siding, as well.

He Guessed

f' A waggish character on Broadway appeared one day with face that looked as though it had encountered a battering tam going full speed ahead. Thinking he would, as most i.,$otts do, lie about how he got it, his friend inquired just to I,grve him a chance to use his imagination. Instead, he offered :a frank and truttrful explanation:

. "I got these black eyes playing my favorite game. I like to call people up in the small hours of the morning, and say

f;i$o them-'Guess who?"' l-': "!s5f" inquired his friend.

'l "\Mellr" he said, trying to smile through the bruises. "This i, one DID."

, George Meredith, the English author, lovcd to make i]e1o .tpott words. Richard Le Gallienne says that seeing an €mpty wine bottle on the table, Meredith spoke as follows iii, to the house maid:

,...,, "Mary, you behold here a body from which the soul has .r3eparted. A body without a soul! Mark it there, empty and ':r.useless, of no value to gods or men ! Once full of genial fire, il'gglden warmth' for heart and brain, alive with inspiring g,'tchor, the Hymettian fount of nobl,e talk and soaring ;ithought, the elixir vitae of wit, making of man's dull brain

i!. a thing of magic and dreams, lifting our dull" mortality into 'the highest heaven of invention ! But behold it now, a f;,hoUo*, echoing shell, a forlorn cadaver, its divine life all i:polrred out of it, no laughter in it, no wisdom, no human :ijk-indness in it, any more, forever. What shall be done with ItT-------- --- --' ---J '

ilt, Mary? A body from which the soul has departed ! What do we do with such? What is there to be done, but to hurry out of. sight of gods and men-mournful reminder of .'fcasts that are at an end, and dimming candles."

A Gollont Judge

A certain Southern judge is famous for his gallantries 'Xi'toward the fair sex and his quickness of wit on all and X.Stlndry occasions. One day he compelled a certain young '{ady to give some very unirnportant testimony in a crowded 'eourtroom, to the surprise of the attornies in the case. One of them said to the judge later:

, 'tudge, why did you think it necessary to place Miss lil,Lovely on the witness stand in this case?"

'ii (It q7tr5n'1-sf course it rvasn't," replied the gallant jurist. .,;;.r(But I saw she had on a lovely new hat, and I realized she &:was dying to show it."

. Trodition

. Tradition is not a fetish to be prayed to-but a useful record of experiences. Time should bring improvements-but hot all old things are worthless. We are served by both the .rnoderns and the ancients. The balanced man is he who clings to,the best in the old-and appropriates the desirable in the new.-Richard Steele.

Discovering o Friend

If trouble never happened, And sorrow never came, The only thing you'd know about Your neighbor is his name.

If all your days were bright and-fair, And certain was your place, You'd only know a fellow by The features of his face.

Acquaintances upon this earth Is all you'd ever own, If care had always passed you by And grief you'd never known.

Time was I used to nod at one Who livedacross the way. I knew his name and he knew mine, We passed the time of day.

But nothing did he mean to me, And nothing I to him, Until one evening sorrow came And all the world was grim.

I saw his face, I felt his hand, I knew he'd come to lend The strength I needed, O so much, Right there f found a friend.

'Tis not in sunshine friends are made, But when the skies are gray. The splendid souls that men possess Are never on display.

We cannot tell what lies behind The hasty nod or smile, Nor what of worth will come of it In just a little while.

We only know that when we face The cares that life does send, We realize the passer-by Has changed into a friend.

A new man in the ranks of the paratroopers was being questioned by some admiring youngsters. One of them said to him:

"How long you been in training?"

manufacture of Tenex, its waferwood textured panel. J. M. Brown, Jr. and L. V. Brown, principals, said these plants would increase production from a current 60 tons daily to 300 or more tons daily.

The Browns said the new plants are prompted by widespread acceptance of Tenex in national markets and a sales potential supported by sales contracts for periods of five years. W. F. Stewart, general sales manager for Pack River, added that current demand bears out predictions of a high degree of consumer acceptance indicated by a national market survey in 1955, and actual marketing experience during the past year at wholesale, retail and consumer levels.

First of the new plants, at Sandpoint, Idaho, site of the present Tenex plant, goes into construction September 1, and construction is scheduled to begin on the first. of two production

lines at Coeur d' Alene, tdaho, Decernber 1 this year, and on the seconcl, April 1, 1958.

The substantially increased production capacity of the new plants over the existing one is the result of recent developments in rnanufacturing techniclues and processes at the Sandpoint pilot plant.

, Hysler's New All-Purpose lift Truck Works in Boxcors, Yords or Buildings

An all new, pneumatic tire, lift truck that has the compactness to work inside a single-door boxcar, yet has the traction and capacity to handle 70m-lb. loads over rough yard terrain, has been developed by Hyster Company for both the one truck and multi-truck user. With an unusual combination of long r,r'heelbase for stability and exceptionally compact dimensions for close-quarter work, the Hyster 70 also features maximum power for a trend toward the packaging of larger, more economically handled unit loads.

The Hyster 70 has been designed to meet the needs of the retail lumber industry which requires a heavyduty maneuverable unit which can operate within confined yard and storage areas.

Typifying its manueverability qualities is a turning radius : of 100" and a length of. I06/s". Both measurements are the shortest in the 7000-lb. pneumatic range. In addition to performance in confined lumber handling operations, the iHyster 70 is also advantageous for stevedoring operations, concrete products handling and other industries requiring , lift-truck power and compactness.

Paoitio lumber lfsalers $upply Inc.

Telephone DAvenporf 6-6273

llanufqcturers

The truck is equipped with pneumatic tires to provide the flexibility required for both inside and outside operation. These insure adequate flotation over rough terrain or unpaved yard surfaces at the same time, allow the operator to work in inside storage locations when transferring or stacking a load. All-weather dependability is provided by a heavy-duty Hercules gasoline engine. Large bore and stroke enables this 70-H.P. engine to develop a rated torque ol182 pounds-feet atlZffi R.P.M.

Hydraulic booster-type power steering is standard equiprnent and assures effortless, fast maneuvering and instantaneous response. The Hyster 70 also features center-point steering with rugged steering axle which pivots about the longitudinal axis of the truck to maintain tire contact over rough ground conditions, and long-lived, self-energizing aircraft type brakes that have 166.4 square inches of braking surface, the largest in the field.a

Rugged one-piece frame and body provide maximum stability. Heavy duty upright assembly provides unexcelled strength and rigidity for handling capacity loads. Floating drive axles offer a frnal 4:1 reduction at the drive wheels u'hich reduces strain on transmission components.

The new Hyster 70 can be equipped with any number of special attachments in addition to forks having lengths specifically designed for the loads encountered in retail lumber operations. Among these is the End Loader that enables the operator to end-stack long lengths of lumber, thus eliminating the need for side aisles and alleviating the normally crowded conditions caused by increased inventory the Side Shift, which enables the operator to move his carriage sideways to stack unit loads evenly . the Swing Shift attachment, which permits angle stacking, again to make utilization of existing space and a number of hydraulic or mechanical attachments including a crane boom that is espegially well-suited for unloading gondola-type railroad cars.

Other features include conveniently operated controls

a new direct reading dial for recording engine hours, high-capacity cooling s),stem incorporating a pusher type fan, a heavy-duty lZ-inch diameter clutch. Various upright heights, "free lift" mast, LP-Gas fuel system, diesel engine and dual drive wheels are available as optional equipment. Styled by Henry Dryfuss, this truck provides exceptional comfort for the operator has controls scientifically positioned for ease of operation.

Specifications and additional information may be obtained now at Hyster industrial truck dealers or by writing Hyster Company, n02N. E. Clackamas Street, Portland B, Oregon.

tens enjoyed a hilarious time of it. The new Hoo-HooEttes are:

Margaret Mattola, The Bus McNeil Co.; Beverly Duane Ifall, Carroll Box & Pallet Co.; Regina M. Polin, Goldenberg Plywood & Lumber; Ethyl Clark, Carl W. Baugh Co.; Elna Pavey, John Eells, Inc., Betty Goodfellow, Simmons Hardwood Lumber 'Co.; Margaret Somerville, Mary Spence, Karpen Plywood Co.; Mina Scher, Jameson Lumber Co., and Patricia Douglas, U.S. Plywood Corp. The members agreed the girls were a fine crop of Kittens and gave each a hearty welcome.

The 1957-58 officers were nominated for the coming election and one of the founding members, Anne Murray, announced that she would be going to Ukiah, Calif., soon to help organize another Hoo-Hoo-Ette club in that area. Miss Murray, of the Roy Forest Products Corp., is to be commended again for her unceasing efforts in behalf of the lumberwomen groups.

President Marguerite Dixon cited four members at the meeting for the many times they have devoted their best efforts for the club. These were Jane Adams, The California Lumber Merchant; Faye Bolmer, Pacific Crate Co. ; Felicia Reid, Weyerhaeuser Sales Co., and Marjorey Taylor, E. J. Stanton & Son.

Door prizes donated by Roy Forest Products Co. and Tropical & Western Lumber Co. were won by Ethyl Clark and Lena Galyean. The new bride, Eullale Matich, was presented a handsome gift by the club.

The Hoo-Hoo-Ettes will meet next on May 13, again at Rodger Young, with a beauty counselor from a local salon as the featured attraction and, it was rumored, a free permanent may be awarded some lucky lumberlady.

Permits totaling nearly $200,000 have been issued for 20 single-family homes on Loara street between Broadway and Ball road in Anaheim.

Son Bernordino Receives Federol Approvol for Slum Cleorqnce

San Bernardino, California, received Housing Administrator Albert M. Cole's approval April 11 of its workable program for the elimination of slums and blight. This California city of 83,145 has adopted and is enforcing a comprehensive system of nationally recognized codes and ordinances which establish minimum standards of health, sanitation and safety in the construction and use of dwellings and other structures.

The city recognized the need for planning almost 30 years ago when, in l92f,, it established its first Planning Commission. It completed its comprehensive master plan in 1952. In preparing this master plan the city found that five areas in the city are in need of redevelopment.

San Bernardino is at present conducting a program of "Operation Clean-Up." Purpose of the program is to clear out structures that are economically unsound and to require owners to repair and to bring up to code standards buildings which can be reasonably salvaged.

The city has an urban renewal project (Meadowbrook) in the preliminary planning stage. The Housing Authority of San Bernardino county is operating two low-rent housing projects with a total of 556 units.

The ,. ff Chapter also contains an Explanation of Accounts as contained in the three lists.
