Green fir displayed its most sus,tained period of strength in more than a year in the Crow's l,umber Marke't News Service of April 25. Utility and Economy fir dimension, both green and dry, felt the g'reates't demand and the green stock was extremely scarce. Green studs, were especially in demand. Dry white fir and green fir and larch d,imension were performing better pricewise and there was more life in low-grade pine boards.

The March report of 14 mills to the California ,Redwood Association, showing shipments of 42,68Q000 feet against production of 38,000,000 feet, was the first healthy sign of increased activity this year, due in part to improved weather. Production was 4 million and shipments 16l million feet above February, while orders went 6 million feet above the February figure. Orders on hand at the end of March totaled 57 million feet, 3 million feet more than the same 1957 date.

"Like so many other professions, to make a good editorial employee one must love his work. Editorial work cannot be done by the clock. Your best thoughts are liable to occur any time of the day or night, if you have the proper viewpoint toward your work. We must have vision and still not be visionary. We must anticipate and have plenty of initiative. Earnestness must be our keystone."-Harold H. Rosenberg, wellknown publisher of building industry trade papers, who died in retirement in Los Angeles, Feb.24.

April g, 1958

"We believe that he has given the lumber industry fine service in the Northern California metropolis. and that his broader position in charge of the active ifiorts of the publication at Los Angeles simply enlarges his opportunities in that same direction." The notice was signed by Jack Dionne.

When the first issue of The CALI'FORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT stood before the industry for judgment that First of July, 1922, it also looked confidently ahead and said, "We will also soon announce a gentleman who will manage the San Francisco office of this journal in both an editorial and business capacity."

The word was made good within the month and the top story on the first news page of the third issue, August 1, 1922, stated: "The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT announces the appointment of M.. J. E,. Martin as the manager of its business and editorial affairs in Northern California. Mr. Martin is a trained and experienced lumberman and forester. He is entirely at vour service. Any courtesies extended to Mr. Martin wili be fully appreciated.-Jack DIONNE, Publisher."

Thus began a close working association that continued thirty-one years, nine months and two tveeks-until Ed Martin went home to his Massachusetts birthplace to repair his health after getting out as usual the issue of May 15, 1954. But the close business association and great personal friendship of employer and employee continued beyond that date, for Ed Martin was still a member of this staff and an officer of the company when he passed away without pain at2:00 a.m. the morning of April 9, 1958, in a Lake Worth, Florida, hospital where he had been resting from a series of strokes.

When that first item about him appeared in these pages almost thirty-six years ago, that a "gentleman" would be announced for the San Francisco office of this journal, it also announced to the lumber industry the true character of a man who was to work with it and help shape its ends through these pages for more than thirty years.

J. E. ("Eddie") Martin, Editor

And the larger career was not long in taking form and substance. Under the heading above, this appeared on Page 4 of the issue dated March l, 1927:

"1.8.'Ed' Martin, of San Francisco, has been called into the Los Angeles publishing office of The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT and installed in the chair of Managing Editor of the publication.

"Mr. Martin has been associated with The Lumber Merchant since it started business nearly five years ag'o, as secretary of the corporation and San Francisco manager. Mr. Martin is a graduate of }farvard University Forestry school, has had several years' experience as Technical Forester with the U.S. Forest Service in Colorado after leaving college, and several years' experience as a lumber salesman and buyer in the Pacific Nolthwest, before coming to join The Lumber Merchant.

The twenty-seven years that followed this announcement never gave Jack Dionne a day's fegret for bringing Eddie Martin to the magazine's seat of operations and thus begin the major part of a life's work of selflessness and service. For besides getting out a complete and accurate chronicle of the state's and nation's building materials business twice every month, Ed Martin found time to do his good works. The International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo knew him rvell, and he of all men knerv and understood its loftv Code of Ethics. Ffe was a Vicegerent Snark of his local clu6 and rose to membership on the Supreme 9.

Ed Martin's day was never too full, nor his paper's deadlines,too pressing, to take time out to reminisce with every woodsman who came a-calling, or to make time to help find a job for some lean and hungry wholesale or retail lumberman who came looking to him for one.

And they came in droves, especially in those depres- sion years, for his unfailing kindness and generosity were universally known. It has been truly said of Ed Martin that he helped place, and place again, more men in the state's lumber industry than any ten other'men who ever lived.

Ed Martin loved life and life must have appreciated his true worth, for it treated him u'ell. He savored its smaller. simpler pleasures like the gentle man he was. He asked for little but he offered much. Ed probably felt no fears, no regrets, if he realized as he approached his seventy-sixtl-r year that he was going away from his multitude of friends for a while. Still he might have requested just a short extension of his allotted tirne to see how the first few games of the state's first major-league baseball games came out, for next to his work and his friendshipi, Eddie Martin loved sports, particularly baseball, and he knew the champio_nship stripe, as befitted this champion of gentlemen.

James Edward lVlartin was a native of Brockton. Massach'usetts, the son of the late Patrick and Margaret O'Brien Martin. He was educated in Brockton schoolJ and graduated from the lJniversity of Massachusetts and the Forestry schools of Harvard ahd Yale universities. He follg*:d the light of the forest trails west to forever stamp his hand and mind on the western lumber industrv. then went home four years ago to join his brothers and- sisters at the old_ family place in Brockton, summering with them o.n.Cape Cod,. wintering with them in Florida, and happily liv_i1S again the scenes of his boyhood and young man6ood.

Mr. Martin leaves two sisters. Mrs. Tohn E. Lucev and I\4rs. George F. Murphy; the now suiviving one of fout brothers, Joseph, of West Harwich, and a nefhew, Edward F. I\4artin. The funeral services were held April 14 and a solemn hiqlr mass of requiem was sung at Saint Margaret,s church in Brockton, lvhere the beloved editor now rests in Calvary cemetery.

As the issues continue to be edited here where he worked so long, the job will be less difficult and the road ahead well-marked because of the principles he laid down for us and the noble ideals by which Eddie Martin lived and labored. \Me can iinow in which direction we should head b-ecause a great and good man-this gentleman-walked the way before us.

So be my passing - My task ammpUshed md the long day done, My wages taken, and in my heart Some late lark singing; Let me be gathered to the quiet west, The sundot'n splendid and -serene ,W. E. Henley.

Spinoza told about a peasant who had persuaded himself that beyond his fields there were no others. and when he lost a cow and was compelled to go search for her, he was astonished at the great number of fields that lay beyond his own acres. This, said Spinoza, must also be the case of many theorists who have persuaded themselves that beyond this field or this little globe of earth, there lie no other worlds, simply because they have not seen them.

It was the famous or"l"n"l, rrlr,.y Ward Beecher, who said: "A man's house should be on the hilltop of cheerfulness and serenity, so high that no shadows rest upon it, and where the morning comes so early and the evening tarries so late that the day has twice as many golden hours as those of other men. He is to be pitied whose house is in some valley of grief between the hills, with the longest night and the shortest day."

President Grover Cleveland.once made a speech at the University of Virginia, and was introduced by the witty and famous Fitzhugh Lee, who said:

"Mr. President, we are honored in welcoming you to Virginia today, both as a loyal Democrat, and as president of the United States. 'Tis a long time since we have had a President with us.

rf, perchance, your opirioJ of*poetry is not overly high, hark to the words on that subject once uttered by William Hazlettt

"Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry cannot have much respect for himself or for anything else. It is not a mere frivolous accomplishment; it has been the study and delight of mankind in all ages. Nor is it found only in books. Wherever there is a sense of beauty, or power, or harmony, as in a wave of the sea, or in the growth of a fower, there is poetry in its birth. It is the stuff of which our life is made. The rest is mere oblivion, for all that is worth remembering in life is the poetry of it."

Thomas Nelson P"g" *1""*" lreat admirer of factories and the factory spirit. He wrote:

"A great factory, with the machinery all working and revolving with absolute and rhythmic regularity, and with the men all driven by one impulse and working in unison, is one of the most inspiring examples of directed force that the world knows. I have rarely seen the face of a mechanic in the act of creation which was not fine, never one that was not earnest and impressive."

Of all the multitua" oi OJ"trl, that have been written about George Washington, few are more eloquent or convincing than those written-by George W-illiam Curtis:

"Without a beacon, without a ehart, but with unwavering eye and steady hand, he guided his country safe through darkness and through storm. He held his steadfast way like the sun across the firmament, giving life and health and strength to the new nation; and, upon a searching survey of his administration, there is no great act which his country would annul; no word spoken, no line written, no deed done by him which justice would reverse, or wisdom deplore."

not only to monetary cost, G. D. Tadlock of the Lumbermen's Mutual Casualty Compd.ny told members of the group, but accidents must alio be measured against the discomfort of the injured men. An effective safety program' he noted, is one of the simplest ways to reduce operating costs through reduced insurance premiums. Such- a program requires no _capital exPenditure. and yields high returns in increased employee satistactlon.

The Association-developed slide program of correct handling methods, which is ivailable tb members' was shown to tfre class'and Mr. Tadlock stressed that safety must be practiced at all levels-management through yard employes, but that the success of such a program ls largely ln ihe-hands of supervisory personnel, for it is their responsibility to instill enthusiam for the program in the mind of subordinate personnel.

Mechanical-handling equipment is to the retail lumber dealer what the assembly line is to the automobile industry, Jack Wright of the Hyster Company told the gfoup, and witt yield iorresponding benefits in the form of reduced handling- costs. Mechanical equipment, he noted, complements J well-planned yard, foi the two are interdep-endent and go far toward permitting increased volume in a limited area-while giving the yard's customers better service.

Although-layout varies greatly from.yard to-yard,. in many cais cireful analysis will make it possible to improvi handling and storage methods with little, if any, cost for alterations or equipment.

Diagonal stacking, he comme.tted, can save yards as much is 25/o in space, but more importantly it permits the speed of yard operations to be materially impro.ved. -

Ply-Tie Holder qnd Plywood Teom Up for Profits

One-Piece Fostening Device For Concrete Forming Provides Significonf lobor Sovings

After years of development, a Seattle firm called Trueforms, fnc., has marketed an unusual fastening device for plywood concrete forms which holds both'the f"orm tie and rvaler _in pl-ace. Contractors using the new system report it makes forming 20 to 4O/o Taster than -conventi6nal systems.

_ The fas-tening device is a bracket called a Ply-Tie holder, design-ed for use with conventional fir plywood panels. One arm of the bracket has a tear-drop slot which fits over the head of a special form tie. The other arm of the bracket holds the waler.

With the Trueform system, the tie holes are pre-drilled in the plywood, using a standardized pattern. -Then the contractor tacks 2x4 studs to the plywood with one of the

Contractor Charles Dahlgren of the Dahlgren Construction Co. in Seattle, who recently used the Trueform system with success in construction of the Roxburv Sch6ol in Seattle, says that with the Trueform system, his men were able to erect forms for the school walls at least 2O/o faster than the conventional or prefab forms they have used in the past. He adds that the finished wall had an excellent architectural concrete finish and the alignment was "straight as a die." Besides the labor savings possible with the Trueform system, Dahlgren points'out that fewer walers and studs are required, and studs need only to be tacked into place.

Since the waler dr-ops into a procession of holders along the entire lengt! of the wall, a minimum of nailing G nec€ssary. The form work can be quickly stripped by sqringing the walers loose and releaiing tne tie- holder with the tap of a hammer.

The same holder can be used for light, medium or heavy construction by varying the spacing ana thlckness of studs and walers. Since stan<iard panels of fir plywood are used, there is no problem of hauling prefabricited forms to the job site.

Walls for a new Army Reserve Training Center at Fort Lawton in Seattle were formed 20% fastlr by using the Trueform system, according to the Kuney-Johnson Construction Co. of Seattle. Bud Collins, project engineer, added that the forms went up "very fast" and were easy to strip.

Over 40,000 square feet of plywood was used on the Fort Lawton job for walls 14 to 16 feet high. "As for alignment," said Collins, "Trueform forms are as accurate as anything I've ever seen."

Kuney-Johnson is also using the new method for construction of a library in Olympia, Washington.

Mullen Construction Co. of Seattle urJd the Trueform method for heavy footings and battered piers on eight p_rjmar_y highway bridges near Lewiston, Idaho. Hairy Klaterboss, job superintendent, said that the use of th'e Trueform method resulted in a time saving of about 40/o.

He noted that one man could easily lift the panels and stripping was easier since there were fewer nails to pull.

Klaterboss also said the forms "line up quickly and don't bulge. We get an excellent concrete surface."

Years of Development

The Trueform concept was developed by Homer Allen, president of the firm. Allen has been in the prefabricated form business for several years. He has consulted with dozens of engineers, and contractors to develop a system which would achieve an architectural concrete hnish-at an economical cost.

According to Allen, the Trueform system capitalizes on the relatively high cost of prefabricated forms. With Trueform, contractors can use standard size fir plywood panels which are widely available.

The contractor can also select his own stud spacing according to the nature of the job.

Low-Cost System

There is no high initial cost for the forming, since the raw materials consist of conventional panels of hr plywood, a minimum number of studs and walers, plus the irolders and ties. List pric-e for thePly-Tie holders is approximately 80c each, f.o.b. factory. Trueform ties are the same ai

Well line of cabinet units, tested a 2-day cabinet-training school at the Claremont hotel in Berkeley, March 18 and 19. The session served as a model school to train a few dealers and L. J. Carr and Co. employes in the mLthod of putqing on future cabinet training schools for retail lumber dealers.

Schools of this type will be put on in various communities throughout Northern California for retail lumber dealers who are interested in learning the details of kitchen design and layout. Retailers who are aware of the high profits connected with merchandising packaged, knockdown cabinets will find many potential customers for both new construction and remodeling.

The cabinet-training schools are a part of the continuing program which L. J. Carr & Co. will conduct for the benefit of retail dealers in assisting them to merchandise and carry fasic commodities that are properly a part of the profits which belong to retail lumberdealers.

Sterling's Sontq Rosq Yord First Colifornio Deoler to Receive Georgio-Pqcific's Pqckcged Fir Finish

Dealer Herb Latell, manager of the Sterling Lumber Company, Santa Rosa, became the first dealer in-California to stock the new packaged Dougla"s fir finish produced by Georgia-Pacific's Toledo, Oregon, sawmill. The car of C&Btr. VG Douglas fir finish arrived at the Santa Rosa yard on March 20.

Georgia-Pacific Corp., in offering this extra service, scored another first in the merchandising of lumber. Besides cutting handling costs, the package is also a silent salesman with its colorful three-color end-labels giving both size and grade.

The package is also moisture resistant, being formed of heavy kraft with plastic film and completely heat sealed on top and ends.

Thus lumber stays dry and sawmill fresh right up to its

Dow Hos New Pob-fype Bullding Movie Subiecr

Increased construction of large, industrial pole-type buildings is opening up new business for the building materials dealers because these structures recuire materials that these firms normally handle. To help infbrm customers about pole-type construction, The Dow Chemical Company has produced a new l7-minute, l6mm color and sound film, "Twice for the Nloney."

This movie shows a huge industrial building under construction and many examples of industrial applications of pole-type construction. Building materials dealers can use the film to explain pole-building features to architects, con-

tractors and industrial customers ket for new buildings.

The film is available'from The Midland, Michigan.

Pole-Type Building Highly Praised

_ Growing firms require increased warehousing space, and Jerry O'Brien of J. H. Baxter & Company told the group that pole-type construction presents an excellent answei to today's high building qssfs-slcssllsnl warehousing facilities, adaptable to mechanical equipment, can be erectea for slightly less than a dollar per square foot.

Pole buildings, he noted, are gaining increased acceptance not only at industry and institutional levels, but also in the area of residential construction.

Through sustained promotion of pole-type construction, Mr. O'Brien emphasized to members of the group, the lumber industry has available a tool against substitute construction materials.

Scheduling of deliveries presents both a challenge and an opportunity to yard foremen, Carl Travis of Wilmar's told the group, to demonstrate a high order of ability. For although customer service must often precede maintenance of a delivery schedule, the alert yard foreman can do much to achieve lower delivery costs.

Mr. Travis, who was joined by his yard foreman, William Metz, reviewed average operating statistics with members of the group and stated that it costs from ll-lZc per minute to operate a half-ton pickup and approximately 28c for a

Deoler Spokesmon Endorses ;. Repeol of Tronsportotion Tox

Repeal of theFederal excise tax on transportation of p_roperty was endorsgd bt J. C. O'Malley, president of the National Retail Lumber -Dealers Associaiion, in a letter to S.e,natgg George. A. Smathers of Florida who, along with other senators, has introduced legislation to that effict.

In his letter, iVIr. O'Nlalley said: ,,I have read with a g'reat, deal of interest that you and other Senators have introduced legislation which. if enacted into law, *outa repeal the excise tax on transportation of property.

"As President of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, and on behalf of the thirty thousand retail lumber and building material dealers of tire Nation, I want to commend you for sponsoring this legislation.

"This tax was a wartime measure designed to discourage the use of our transportation facilitie.. Th. reason for tfie

tax no longer exists.

"In fact, our ma jor solvent and everything the continuation of an

railroads are fighting to remain possible should be done to assure adequate transportation system. - -'jT-h. 3/o exctse tax on the transportation of property falls heavily upon the shipment of lumber, building *it.ri-

1L.; ?t9, other products. sold by the average retail lumber and burldrng material dealer.

."This taxls necessarily reflected in the cost of everything that goes into the rew'house and all "th;;;;;;il;l;;:, wi.thout adding to the value of the.structure.

"Such a tax penalize-s the long-haul shipper and pyramids at each step of manufacture aid distribu^tion

"Much of our lumber must be shipped from the north_ west and south to markets a great distance from the aiea of production.

"Because the tax is a .fixed percentage tax on freight ch.arges-, the recent _{reight-rate increasi granted to ?t " ralfloads automatically increased the tax 3" ir.igh1.

"This tax affects every consumer, his home, his f8oJ, and everything that he lvears or uses.

"The tax is not only discriminatory as between different areas of the country, but as between large and small shippers. Y"ny smaller shippers must depira o" pulii. transportation systems entirely.

"$.epeal of the excise tax on transportation of property at this time will, I feel confident, provide a stimulus tb tfre economy, and increase the revenue of the railroads at a time when additional revenue is badly needed to provide a sound and healthy transportation .yite*.

"I sincerely hope that your efforti to repeal this burdensome tax will meet with success in the piesent session of the Congress."

Fqctories ond Temples

Some of the finest bits of philosophy on the subject of business that have ever been given the Amefican nation came from that quiet little man, President Calvin Coolidge. Take this masterpiece: "The man who builds a factory, builds a temple; the man who works there, worships there; and to each is due, not scorn and blame, but reverence and praise."

It was Coolidge who said that. He also said: ,,The measure of success is not merchandise, but character."

In those brief sentences the quiet little man who was President, but who would not run again, gave to thinking business people some fine thoughts to apply to their activities.

An Editorial

"I do criticize those sentiments held by so many,', he also said, "in all too respectable quarters, that our economic system is fundamentally wrong, that commerce is only selfishness, and that our citizens, holding the hope of all that America means, are living in industrial slavery.,' Reading and studying such fine thoughts enlarge the opinion of the average business man concerning Mr. Coolidge. He was indeed wise.

Oprimism Voiced for Future t 958 Home Building Outlook

Homebuilding will continue at a high level during l95g ln splte ot varlous cross-currents in our economv. Walter E.. Hoadley, J_r., treasurer of the Armstrong Cork Cbmpany, said at the 1lth annual convention of w[olesale disiributors of Armstrong building products. Mr. Hoadley said that when the still-growing home-modernization market is added to new housing, the home-building industry can be optimistic about the balance of this year. He stited that new--ho_me-building has been showing an irregular but gradually rising trend since reaching a-low point-early last year.

"Repair and moderinzation work continues to be very 'big' business and is still growing, although at a slower rat-e than in recent years." he said.

"The financial roadblocks to building expansion have been.lifted.at least partially and many g-overnment leaders are determined to bolster homebuilding. The money and credit factor constitutes an important 'plus', in the building outlook for the period ahead," Hoadley said.

"A mounting roadblock to expansion in home construction lies in the absence of an inexpensive device to handle the trade-in house problem. With high home ownership across the country, more and more people who are interested in a new house face the problem of disposing of an old one. llowever, to trade in a house is still a very complex and expensive process."

While they will have little effect on 1958 home-building activity, Mr. Hoadley said that there are many new developments in homebuilding on the horizon. He cited new materials and methods of erection as samples.

.flere's a simple bookkeeping system that will save time and- mgney for lumber and building supplies dealers who do both cash and charge businEss. -UARCO Incorporated, manufacturJr of business forms, said its monthly statement system will save as much as Q% "t the time normally required to send monthly bills to charge-account customers. It virtually eliminates the chance that the retailer will lose his recoid of a sale and thus forget to charge the customer for it.

-

The system, is keyed to the use of a three-ply register form- to record all transactions. Although the aveiage imall retailer is not a trained accountant, proper handling of the

three-ply sales slip.will efiable him to keep necessary records in minimum time. Here's what he should do with the copies :

l. The "Customer's Invoice" is given to the customer at time of sale or delivered with th1 merchandise bv the driver.

.2. !" keep his ledger account, the retailer posts only the date, ticket number, and amount of sales^ from the "9S." -Copyl'- of the sales slip. After posting at the end of the day, office copies are filed permanently-in numerical sequence in a storage binder.

3. The "Statement Copy" is filed alphabetic4lly by customer's name in a desk hie.

At the end of the month, the customer's statement is prepared direct from the ledger account. Only the date of transaction, ticket number, and amount of sale need be written on the statement. Statement copies of sales slips are removed from the desk file and mailed to the custom-er for verification.

Preparing the monthly statement in such a simple way means a great time saving, UARCO pointed out. A second advantage is that customers almost never question charges, since they receive copies of all sales slip-. The third lmportant point is that the chance of error is reduced because

Goliforniq's Bristlecone Pines Profected From Souvenir Hunters

-Washington, D. C.-The U. S. Forest Service on April 12 established a restricted, 27,000-acre forest around the gnarled old trees in the Inyo National Forest of California's White Mountains recently discovered to be the oldest living things in the world. The government is afraid that souvenir hunters may do to the state's Bristlecone Pine trees what nature had not been able to do in 4.000 vears. Mining, fumbering and souvenir hunting will be banned.

One of the Bristlecone pines is 4,600 years-old-a seedling when the Sphinx and Pyramids of Egypt were being built. At least 100 of the trees are over 4,000 years old, and thousands are in the 3,000-4,000-year age bracket.

The USFS said nearby private property owners started selling pieces of the trees on their land to souvenir hunters soon after the late Dr. Edmund Schulman of the University of Arizona discovered their age two years ago.

1958 Deoler Exposition Looks Like Sellout With Opening Six Xlonths Awoy

In its first three weeks of sales activity, the 1958 Building Products Exposition was off to a running start, according to Phil Creden, merchandising manager of the Edward Hines Lumber Company and general chairman of the 1958 NRLDA Exposition, following a report to officers and directors of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

"We are even a little surprised ourselves with the fine initial response we have had in view of the generally softened conditions prevailing throughout the economy today," Chairman Creden revealed. "Three weeks after the release of our first brochure and prospectus, and three days after the opening of space assignments, we have confirmed twothirds of our available space."

Exposition Director Martin C. Dwyer disclosed that about 78/o of the early response had come from "steady customers" who this year will participate for the third time in the five-year-old Building Products Exposition. Eighteen new exhibitors are listed among firgt space assignments for the 1958 show, NRLDA's second to be staged in Chicago.

Virtually all categories of building materials are represented in the first NRLDA assignments, Dwyer stated. The list includes suppliers of lumber, millwork, metal specialties, power tools, builder's hardware ; roofing, siding and insulation materials; electrical and gas appliances, paint, wall coverings, floors, bath room fixtures, air conditioning, display, storage and materials handling equipment, and a wide range of modern, light-weight metal building products.

- Although budget-paring has afrected the extent of. exhibit participation in many trade shows, Dwyer be-

lieves that suppliers in the building materials industry generally, recognizing the optimism of their distributors as to sales possibilities in the period ahead, are joining in the efforts to improve and accelerate aggressive merchandising programs.

"Exhibitors will soend hundreds of thousands of dollars this year putting salis-building and cost-cutting know-how into their NRLDA exhibits," Chairman Creden pointed out. "It will be a selling education for a dealer to open his mind and walk objectively through the 1958 Exposition Hall, talking with exhibitors and asking questions. Without this he will miss one of his finest opportunities to improve his own merchandising performance. The need today for more building material sales, across the board and all the way down the distribution line, will in itself force us to produce next November the biggest NRLDA Exposition we have ever staged."

[umber Firm Fined for R.oil Rebotes

Oakland, Calif.-An East Oakland firm, the Eastshore Lumber & Mill Co., was fined $30,000 in Federal court, April 8, on a plea of nolo contendere to 15 separate counts of violating interstate railroad laws. The owner and operator, H. A. Tildesley, could have been fined $300,000, reported The S. F. Examiner. The firm was accused of receiving $3,974 in fraudulent rebates from the Southern Pacific R. R. between September 1954 and April 1956, and was specifically charged with soliciting and receiving rebates which gave it a lower rate for shipping lumber to the east coast than it was entitled to receive under federal tariff laws. In a prior civil suit, it was brought out that the lumber company received and paid back $32,132 to the railroad in total rebates.

There -was the biggest attendance of any convention ye_t at the annual_ 9p"+ House when the dealers play host_ to their employres, families, contractor customers and architects and let them see the new products and product applicatlons on display at the handsome exhibit booths of the manufacturers andsuppliers.

There was, also, the unusual business sessions in whicl-r, this. year, top men from the lumber associations personally told the Southern California dealers of new plans to push and promote their retail sales of lumber and building products. On hand were Bob MahalTay from the West- Coast Lumbermen's Assn., Joe Sherar from the Western Pine Assn., Philip T. Farnsworth and Owen Stebbins from the California Redwood Assn., and Dan Sedgrvick from the Douglas Fir Plywood Assn.

These far-sighted lumber association executives all told the California dealers in person the words the retailers have been reading in every issue of The CALIFORNIA LUNIBER MERCHANT for many months now-how the associations are spending thousands of dollars in consumer advertising, horne plans, mailing pieces and unusual promotions to boom the dealer's share of the homeowner's building dollar.

Outstanding Products on Display

The manufacturers and wholesalers demonstrated their wares as outstandingly as ever this year, and they were generously patronized by the retailers, who have come to learn (to their greater profit) that their suppliers and the salesmen who man these annual exhibit booths can help them cut the corners to a better use of their evervdav materials, and put the sing in Merchandising.

J. W. Sherar, marlager of the super-specialized promotion department of the Western Pine Association, detailed the tremendous work it is doing to help the dealers handling its species. ALL the W.P.A. ads, he said, identify the dealer as the place to BUY the products mentioned in their advertising. 1958 will be this association's greatest year in parading an almost never-ending promotion series to get lumber back where it should be in tl-re retail lumberyard inventory, but every dealer who reads these pages knows wl-rat this and the other associations have in mincl for his aid.

Farnsworth, executive vice-president of the California Redlvood Association, an unscheduled speaker on the morning's prog'ram, was in the audience and was called upon to sum up the promotion work of the various associations for the breakfast crorvd. Mr. Farnsworth made his always excellent appearance and said, "Fir, pine and redwood are the 'old-timers' among your productsthe foundations of your businesses.

"ff ever it was true that lumber advertising suffered, it is true no longer ! But the promotion job is not finished till the lumber is delivered and the money is in the dealer's cash drawer.

"The ads in tl-re consumer magazines are YOUR ads. The products Russ Fritchey sells at the Palm Avenue Lumber Co. are mentioned 11 times in one magazine, the products Andy Beckstrom sells at Arcadia Lumber Co.

are mentioned l7 times in another issue, the products handled by the Blanchards at their North Hollywood yard are mentioned 19 times in another magazine." ih. .peik.t pointed out.

"This meeting with you dealers is a Planning Session in Sales Strategy and you will harvest what the Associations are reaping for you today," Mr. Farnsworth concluded for his fellow association officers.

Each of the association speakers used brilliant color slides to illustrate the many points of their fine talks, and if any dealer present had previous doubt that the associations were just talkingor that they weren't all masters of selling showmanshipthese superb slides rvere proof that the biggest pre-selling job is being done by the lumber trade associations today.

"Selling America to Americans"

Wayne Mullin, the immediate past president of the SCRLA and president of the Mullin Lumber Co. yards in Los Angeles, presided at the second-day luncheon with his expected polish. He presented President Brown for the annual SCRLA Association Reoort. and Hal Brown delivered in his friendly, forthright way,' calling the shots.

The featured speaker was Dr. Kenneth McFarland, who has been heard before at SCRLA conventions but who is always better than before. His short talk was pure delight and, like all good talks, an equal mixture of humor and common sense thinking. He put in speech what many know, that "Too many news, radio and TV 'analysts' today are answering questions that no one is

Pausing to reflect on the current, so-called "recession," Dr. McFirland said, "Let us not ASSUME anything, for when you break down that word, it becomes ass/u/me."

President Brown adjourned the luncheon after reading the 1958-59 offrcers and-paying tribute to Wayne Mullirl for his judgment, the time 'he devotes to SCRLA activities, and -thJgains made in his 1955-56, 1956-57 admirristrations of the rlealer associatiotr.

Younger Generation Takes Over

The dealers who clidn't get up in time for the third day's morning busines. .esiiotl missed another highlight of -the conveirtion. C. R. (Bob) Sievers, young g,eneral manager of the John W. Fisher Lumber Co., Santa Monica, trainJd by no less an authority of this -business than Tom Fox himself, was the presidei' and did a bang-up job of marshaling his audience.

providing lumber dealers and builders in these precarious times.

Nlerchancliser Sedgwick noted that 52/o of the total plywood production passes through lumber-dealer hands, itid tt-r"t S5% of U. S. lumber dealers participate in homebuilding today. So the Douglas Fir Plywood Assn. has develop"ed a -$ZOO,OOO merchindising program for retail yards'in 1958, and 650 (six-hundred and fifty) d9ql91s .iened for the DFPA's uew Home Plan Service (CLM, 4Il/58> in the first eight weeks' time.

Most any recent issue of this lumber -t31f9 jo-ur1al will fill vou in on many another strong DFPA dealer-plus orosru- as outlined by Master-mirid Sedgwick himself it fi" SCRLA conventi,on (it was his l3th such national appearance before lumber dealers)'

Donald Shaffer, u'estern regional manager of the Hyster Company (CLM, 4/t/58), was the other speaker at the final^ morning business session and began, by saying' "Mechanical handling in lumberyards was born on the west coast and it is hard to talk to experts'"

56to llonico'i Sieverr w6 recstly nmed "Yowg ilo of the Yeor" by his locol Juniq r Chmber of Cmmerte

Like the young retailers before him at recent Palm Springs and Santa Barbara conference meetings of the SCRLA, Bob Sievers also personifies the oncoming younger generation of the Southern California retail lumber industry. And we may now all rest assured that our future will be in most capable hands.

Since every issue of The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT carries one or more lengthy helpful articles on what the Douglas Fir Plywood Assn. is doing..for dealers today, to go into detail on Dan Sedgwick's-excellent talk would be repeating ourself. But Mr. D. B. Sedgwick, the merchandising director of the very merchandising-minded DFPA (ai everyone now knows unless he's deaf, dumb and blind), gave an enormously enlightening. suTmary of the many and varied aids that association is

Nevertheless, the young and handsome Shaffer (with young and handsome Sievers, Sedgwick and Shaffer all inreel Orrie Hamilton really should have thrown THIS session wide open to the ladies of the convention for a peak attendance; d;a talk to the. experts and talked very ivell. His short.talk was so well blueprinted and full of potent pointers that it will be reported in its eutirety. in in early issue for its maximum importance on mechanical handling in retail yards.

Hoo-Hoo Produce the Crowd

It remained, as usual, for the Southern California HooHoo clubs to round up the largest attendance of any of the convention sessions. More than 400 filled and overflowed the Enrbassy room for the April 10 luncheon honorins Los Anseles -Hoo-Hoo Club 2, San Diego Club 3, Rii'erside Cointv Club 117 and L. A.

just in time to see a dainty, aloof-looking woman sweep proudly by, her head erect, her eyes forward. Not even a glance in his direction. He watched her go, then staggered back into the bar and ordered another drink.

"That's what makes a drunkard of me," he said to the bartender. "Women won't let me alone."

Ler Others Do Your Brogging

There was once a Dutch housewife wtro was unduly arrogant about her clean floor. One day she scrubbed right through the floor and fell into the basement and broke her leg. Pride came before her fall.

The loud speaker, used in our own behalf, fills the air with static for others. If we do a good job and someone catches us at it, we feel like Peary at the pole. But if we do a good job and then cackle like a hen, folks are more riled with the racket than they are pleased at the deed.

Even among the hens the greatest cacklers are greater liars than layers. They start by cackling after laying, as all respectable hens should, and later they cackle both before and after laying. StiU later they help other hens to cackle, and. soon they are devoting their lives to cackling.

People who cheer for themselves are pretty apt to give away to the same temptation; that is, they soon warble rather than work. A bird sings, but because you sing you are not necessarily a bird.

There is nothing less cheering than a self-cheering companion whose true worth is scarcely less than half of nothing at all. True worth is worth no less in sneakers.

To scrub floors right, you must get on your hands and knees, which is a humble position, and a ridiculoub one from which to indulge in loud talk.-C. H. Struble.

The proportions of a curving roof, a girl smiling sleepily in a doorway as she whisks the fies away, a child riding a black pig bareback, three women walking arm-in-arm through a rnist-laden field, the clean curve of a plow as it comes dropping from the earth-all these have the qualities of everlastingness. If you search fot' them you will never find them.-Robert Payne.

A pink elephant, and a yellow snake, and a green rat entered the bar together. "You're too early, boys," said the bartender, "he ain't here yet."

Toll Hogs

A couple of Texas men went into Arkansas thinking about buying a farm. A real estate man showed them a fine tract near a river, with good soil and everything a farmer could desire.

It was low land and close to a creek. They noticed on the trees, about five feet from the ground, the marks of dark, rich mud.

"Looks like this land is overflowed in high-water time,', said one of the prospects.

"No, Sir," said the real estate man, "This land is never overfowed. Those marks are where the hogs come up from the bottoms and rub the mud off their backs.',

Said the prospects: "We've decided not to buy the land, but we sure would like to buy six carloads of those hogs."

"An egotist," said "-fgg?lerce, .,is a person of low taste, more interested in himself than in me."

The Federal Trade Commission said it is well along in an investigation involving five major fir plywood manufacturers in the Pacific Northwest to determine whether recent mergers of the companies violate Section 7 of the

Clayton Act. A Seattle FTC official said the compapies involved are Georgia-Pacific Corp., United States-plywood Corp., Simpson Redwood Co., Weyerhaeuser Timblr Co. and International Paper Co.

The Seattle office of the FTC expects the investigation to be finished in a few weeks but decision on filingln antitrust suit against any of the majors depends on Washing- tol D. C. after the investigation is completed.

The five companies, the five largest fir plywood manufacturers, have an annual capacity ln the weitern mills of ??7g of the fir plywood industry capacity of about 6.9 billion square feet a year.

Portland, Ore.-A spokesman for the United States plywood Corp. said his company has no reason to be concerned over the current FTC investigation of alleged. monopoly in recent plywood mergers. In recent years, U. S. ety*ooh has been involved in mergers with The Mengel 'Corp., Associated Plywood Mills and Youngsbay Lum6er Co. -

"We have no comment to make at this time,?-said an official of Simpson Timber Co., of which Simpson Redwood Co. is a wholly owned subsidiary. Simpson Redwood acquired all of the assets of M & M Wood Working Co. in August 1956.

A Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. official stated, "Neither the government nor anyone else has advised or conferred with us on any FTC investigation of the plywood industry or ourselves. Our counsel knows of 'no reason for any such investigation."

Georgia-Pacific Corp. officials were unavailable for comment.

Overflow Clqss Attends Bilt-Well School in Soufhern Colifornicr

Two Bilt-\Ve11 Cabinets clealer-training schools have been helcl in Northern Califomia ancl one in Southern California already tl.ris year. Robert M. Bodkin, the Southland distribrrtor for the Carr, Aclams & Collier product, reports that his school vgas held in conjunction with Frigiclaire for all its SoCal clealers and tl'rat 60 attended ancl are now asking for more. Bodkin believes it is high time the lumber dealer takes aclvantage of tl.re fine opportunity that is his to tap nelv 1958 profits with the fast-selling kitchen cabinets line.

William Chapman, sales manager of Frigidaire, sent out annourlcemeni of the dealer classes, stating: "Frigidaire appliances and Kitcl-ren Cabinets represent excellent sales potential for dealers in the new home and kitchen-remodeling markets, and Frigidaire is cooperating at factory ancl field levels with certain kitchen cabinet manufacturers in various areas to help properly cover these markets.

"In the Los Angeles district, Carr, Adams & Collier Co. of Dubuque, Iowa, through its subsidiary, Bilt-Well Distributors, Inc., of Southern California, have worked out a cooperative program whereby the Bilt-Well Cabinets are available to Frigidaire dealers where desired.

"The Frigidaire factory just displayed their beautiful Oriental Magic Kitchen at the National Home Builders Show in Chicago using Bilt-Well cabinetry. Many of the builders who saw this display showed great interest ir.r these Bilt-IrA'ell cabinets because of the completeness and flexibility of their line and the oustanding value they represented to the builder and to the buying public. They manufacture these cabinets in both birch and pine fronts and in a knock-down condition which are very easily assembled on the iob.

"In keeping with this cooperative effort, Bilt-Well ofiered

These sohools put on by Bilt-Well in the past have been very complete and have proven very highly successful. We feel that we in Frigidaire and the Frigidaire dealers attending are very fortunate in having this training opportunity.

"You, who are attending the school, as evidence of this training, will receive on behalf of the Bilt-Well organization a certificate stating that you have successfully completed their Cabinet Training Course and have shown ability in all matters relative to kitchen ancl storage wall planning, layout, installation and decoration," Chapman's annoullcement concluded.

Carl H. Wittenberg, partner and general manager of Twaits-Wittenberg Co., cited the importance of the carpenter to the construction industry when he spoke at the March 1958 Apprentice Completion ceremonies at the Biltmore, Los Angeles, for new journeymen carpenters, millwrights, and cabinet makers.

"The construction industrv lives bv the skill and knowhow of its manpower; thereiore, our ritr.... interest in the Carpentry Apprenticeship program which is jointly conducted by the contractors and carpenters union," Wittenberg said.

He also related that "men who have completed the apprenticeship program have an excellent foundation for working as journeymen and are the best source for future supervisory personnel. In recent years, more than 50/o of

the men completing the Apprenticeship program have gone on to become foremen within a year."

Basically, the entire structure of the entrance canopy and the main arena building is of wood. The roof of the arena building spans a distance of 360 feet and is a new design using modulated delta plate girders which, in turn, are supported by four columns.

The exterior of the building is wood, or glass in a wood frame, with lateral resistance for the glass wall provided by laminated Douglas fir wood members measuring 8 inches by 3 feet by & feet tall. A concrete bowl inside the main wood structure will seat up to 15,000 people for various sports, conventions and arena tlrpe events.

The Insulation Board Institute has announced recommendations made by its Materials Handling committee for the minimum fork truck that should be used by insulation board dealers.

For general warehouS€ uS€; the IBI luggests cushion tires. Pneumatic tires are necessary for outdoor usage or for an indoor-outdoor vehicle. It calls for a minimum fork length of 46 inches, fork width of 6 inches and a fork that is fully tapered and polished. The standard transmission is adequate, the IBI says, but fully automatic transmissions are preferred.

The fork truck used in handling insulation board also should have an overhead guard and a load safety rack, according to the IBI.

An effective display of Western Red Cedar beveled siding, ideal for home-planning departments and show rooms of retail lumber dealers, can be prepared in 10 minutes with a kit now available from the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association. The kit is made to utilize the NRLDA display panels already in use in thousands of lumber stores throughout the United States. It includes six full-width sections of cedar siding, each finished in a different way, and three colored photographs showing interior and exterior uses of America's favorite side-wall material, plus attention-compelling display lines and ".opy" cards. Everything is punched for easy mounting with clips which are a part of the kit. Two metal baskets are provided to hold literature giving further information on siding.

"Many lumber dealers appreciate the value of good displays but lack the time to make, their own and' hesitate to spend the money that a display designer would require," says Arthur I. Ellsworth, secretarymanager of the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association. "This kit gives the dealer everything he could get from a professional designer, at a fraction of the cost. The only tools he needs to prepare the display are his fingers, and he need not letter a single line unless he desires to post prices."

Only cost for the kit is $2, to cover the expense of handling and mailing, Ellsworth said. Kits are available from the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association, 4403 White-Henry-Stgart Building, Seattle 1, Washington. NRLDA display panels usually measure 3Ox8O inches and are made of two sheets of oerforated hardboard placed back to back, with spacers between, in a frame mounted in a rack which permits the panels to swing or slide out freely.

Weekly TV Series Promofes Building

"Building America," a new half-hour filmed weekly TV program series of great importance to lumber manufacturers, retailers and woodworkers, will make its debut in 200 cities starting this spring. It is designed to be the multibillion dollar construction industry's best foot forward on television. The pro[Iram, consisting of four features and an interview with an industry expert, is nationally distributed by the Public Service Network of Princeton, N. J., and coordinated by The Producers' Council in association with the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, the National Association of Home Builders, the American Institute of Architects, and others.

The opportunities for the lumber and rvoodworking industries to benefit from increased spending on building and

modernizing is, of course, obvious. By presenting new ideas, developments, and products, the show will appeal not only to the general consumer, but to industrial consumers, architects, engineers, contractors and dealers. The concept of obsolescence, so long used to increase automobile sales. rvill be stressed in the program to stimulate the use of lumber and wood products in new building and modernrzlng.

Four one-minute periods in each program are available for purchase by local advertisers from participating TV stations. These offer an unparalleled opportunity for building supply dealers, as rvell as builders and home improvement contractors, to reach a prime TV time period audience especially interested in building and improving homes, schools. churches. factories. offices and other structures.

Western Pine Quqrter Shipmenfs Expected to Show Decreqse

Portland-The following report of first quarter, 1958, production and shipments of Western Pine r-egion lumber products and estimate of probable second quarter, 1958, shipments, was released by W. E. Griffee, assistant secretary-manager of the Western Pine Association. The report covered all 10 woods of 'the Western Pine region, of which the \Mestern Pines comprise about 51/o.

The statement in full :

"A preliminary estimate puts the Western Pine industry's production during the first quarter of this year at 1468 million board feet, down 5.1/o lrom the same quarter of last year.

"Shipments were about 1511 million feet, a reduction of 8.3/o f.rom the first quarter of 1957. They were the lowest for any corresponding quarter since 1952.

February and much of March were largely responsible for less-than expected shipments during the first quarter.

"The seasonally adjusted rate of new housing starts fell below a million a year in February for the first time since late last spring. Weather likely had much to do with the drop and it is hoped that the rate came back up during March.

"The emergency housing bill which Congress sent to the President should stimulate home construction. The additional funds it provides, the more realistic ceilings on both VA and FHA loans and freeing FHA-VA-backed mortgages from discount controls all should make it easier to finance new housing. Additional proposals now shaping in Congress u'ill help too, though effects likely won't be felt before late spring or early summer.

"While the volume of lumber needed for housing should improve as the year goes along, the current slump in industrial production, which is helping to keep our shipments below those of last year, is not expected to improve much before fall at the earliest

"Stocks on March 31 are estimated at 1986 million feet, down from 2029 million at the beginning of the year and Irom 2OO4 million a year ago. The drop in than the normal seasonal reduction and the stocks to current shipments is as high as it number of years.

"Based upon srich factors and all other available information upon prospective demand, it would seem probable' that, during the second quarter of 1958, shipments (consumption) of lumber from the Western Pine region will approxirirate 2000 million feet, or about 5/o below those in the second quarter of 1957."

Pickering Fiscql-Yeor Net Off

Kansas City, Mo.-Pickering Lumber Corporation's net income for the fiscal year ended March 31 fell to an estimated $550,000, Chairman James M. Kemper said at the annual meeting in April. He said the earnings decline was a result of substantial price declines in the lumber industry.

The Redwood Region I ogging Conference, to be held at Ukiah May 23 and 24, is the oldest regional logging conference in the country, according to Conference President George Stoodley. The conference was started by Emanuel Fritz in February- 1936 and has been held annually since then, except for a three-year break during World War II. Fritz is still active in the conference, as secretary-manager.

The Redwood Region Logging Conference, attended by loggers, foresters, lumbermen and equipment dealers, is organized for the purpose of improving forest and logging practices in the redu'ood and Douglas fir forests of northwestern California.

The first redwood logging conference was attended by only 50 or 60 people, Fritz remembers. Since then it has grown to an annual registration of over 500 persons, with many more attending without registering.

The railroads have been unable to supply Oregon with sumcient cars in the past. Each year there is much complaint, as you are probably aware, because they are not sup- plied. The reduction in rate would not increase the supply because the conditions would remain the same, lack of back-haul, etc. The only effect would be one that would be

extremely harmful to the mills in California situated as ours is, and the trucks, water carriers and kindred lines such as the sale of gasoline, diesel, tires, trucks, etc. We know from having.operated trucks at one time ourselves, that the pres- ent existing rate in California without back-haul iJ not profitable and there is not enough back-haul available to srpply the individual truckers. The new rate would put them completely out of business.

I think that for the protection of the interested people in California, of whom there are thousands, this decrease in rate should be prohibted.

?op. & Tqlbot Now Supplying Pqrticle Boord With New Strength ond Smoothness

A new kind of engineered particle board-available for the first time in a range of strengths and smoothnesseshas been developed by Pope & Talbot, Inc., long-time western lumber and veneer produce.rs. This is the firs1 successful multi-grade production in the particle board industry. Pope & Talbot is now .supplying- building and industrial accounts with board accuiately ingineerCd to serve a wide range of requirements.

is proving eminently successful. This combines the extra smoothness requireil work with the additional strengfh not particle board.

A new production technique, developed for the one-anda-half-million dollar Oakridge, Oregon, plant, enables complete integration of two different formi of wood'fibre in any_ desired proportion. One material is regular planing mill shavings, pneumatically piped into hali of t6e dual supply system from the adjacent The other material is long-fibre factured from solid green wood.

Pope & Talbot sawmill. flakes, carefully manu-

With electronic measuring devices, these two materials -shavings and flakes-can be blended to form a multi-

platen particle board with predetermined characteristics. Although practically any desired proportion of the two materials is possible, most end uses can be served with either pure board of one type or the other, or 25/o combinations of the two.

_ Manl- furniture-manrllacturers, for example, are choosing Pope & Talbot 100/o Flakeboard as theif core stock, be*cause of its smoothness, high strength and machineability. In some instances, this material has eliminated the need for cross-banding. In other applications, such as cabinetwork, a Pope & Talbot blend of 50/o shavings-S}/o flakes

Still another area of use is pointing up the value of Pope & Talbot 100/o shavings-'board.-Initalled as floor underlayment, this board is not only further cutting building costs, but providing a floor covering base of iemarkably new smoothness.

Additional information on these new Pope & Talbot particle--boards may be obtained by writing directly to the sales ofifices at Pope & Talbot, Inc., 3070 N-.W. Front Ave., Portland 10, Oregon.

l-a Habra councilmen approved three dwellings; one tract of 87 homes at avenue, and two tracts with 54 north of
