John Hallinan, Hallinarr Lumber Company, of "Strappack" and "Lumberpack" fame, has done it again. Under his capable guidance a modern sawmill with a band headrig, a new barker and chipper, is being erected in Tillamook, Oregon.

The mill will produce in excess of 50M board feet of lumber per eight hour shift, and will fit nicely into Hallinan's modern merchandising program. The project will go a long way to satisfy his "Strappack," "Lumberpack," hungry customers. Roy Stanwood, formerly of Drairr, Oregon, will manage the mil1. Kiln Dry Hemlock will be the principle product, and w-ill supply 2x4 thru2xT2up to2f in length.

The whole thing developed from the efiorts of E. E. Roberts, Field Represerrtative, Spaulding Pulp & Paper Co., and R. F. Hutchinson, Hallinan Lumber Co. towards greater utilization of logs in the Tillamook area. Because of these men, Spaulding will have another source of chips, Hallinan will have more lumber, and f illamook will have another payroll, and mole saleable products from Tillarnook logs.

Mert Whipple, Sales Manager, Hallinan Lumber Co., says, "Wow, this will improve our customer service." Call lfert for the Tillamook story and some of that good "Strappack" and "Lumberpack" lumber.

The revisions were approved and ordered into effect by the Association Grading Committee and Board of Directors at the recent annual meeting in San Francisco.

It provides for stress grading these species in the "Joists and Planks" and "Industrial Light Framing" categories, with special unit working stresses when graded as "Light Framing."

For Irrcense Cedar and Red Cedar, the new grade of "Foundatiorr Lumber" makes its debut in the rules as part of the supplement. The grade is selected from heartvvood and is free of heart center, making for material ideally suited to foundation uses.
