Shope of Things to Come?

"By the end of the century, in less than 40 years,60/o oI the world's population will be living in surroundinss difierent from what they are now."

This startling guote comes from a man who heads one of the world's largest city planning and architectural firms.

He is Constantinos A. Doxiadis, a man who knows whereof he speaks. His Athens, Greece firm is currently developing a 500,000- refugee satellite community in Karachi, -and a '2,5-00 o.." ,"development area in Philadelphia which is the largest of its kind in this country.

As a seer of future living patterns, he sees the time when we all will live in a ooUniversal City", or Ecumenopolis as he calls it. It will be a sprawling, densely-populated colleciion of human settlements that will spread across the face of the United States with no apparent distinction or separation.

j:Wgl:: already seeing the beginning of this Ecumenopoliso', he said. "We see these cities already taking shape here, along the Atlantic seaboard, in Europe and elsewhere.,' His views coiicide

with locally voiced opinions that the coast of California will be one city stretching from San Diego to the Oregon border.

4. u planner of the future he is concerned with the present. He feels that o'what we plan and build today will shape the pattern for our cities for generations."

Dr. Doxiadis, founder and chairman of the board of the Athens Technological Institute, is a master in Ekistics, the science of human settlements. He teaches the subiect to students who come from all over the world to study.

The Ecumenopolis that he envisions will be made up of elongated superblocks, or, as he prefers to call them, "human communities." They will be self-contained and will have everything from- shopping centers to schools and may house as many as'2,00d people.

He believes, unlike many of his contemporaries, that the automobile will play a major part in this universal city. He thinks it is unrealistic to plan on sealing off parts of a city from auto traffic as many planners have suggested.

Leaders at Congressional Hearings Offer Strong Testimony Against Timber Tax Revisions

BANKER SPEAKS

A Northwest banker told the House Ways and Means Committee on March 2l that he seriously questions o'the judgment and depth of knowledge of the individual who prepared the Treasury Department's case for eliminating capital gains treatment of income from the sale of timber."

Goodwin Chase, president of the National Bank of Washington, Tacoma, Wash., said the Treasury's document Pro' posing to overturn timber tax practices ex' isting since L944'oreveals total unfamiliar' ity with the Pacific Northwest."

'oThe author of this document has ascribed to farmers and other small wood' lot owners capacities and tendencies which they do not have," he said. Chase then challenged the author to o'join me in Washington State to walk among the woodlots and pastures," where, he said, o'I'm confident he would have difficulty finding a single farmer or other small woodlot owner who practices the reforestation attributed to him."

Chase said his bank deals with hundreds of logging and sawmill operators throughout central and western Washington and that he himself has been a oocountry banker" for years. He indicated that his bank would be compelled to turn down requests for loans by loggers, sawmill operators and tree farmers if the tax laws are changed, because "timber growing would be such a poor investment" without capital gains provisions.

Chase also warned that the proposed changes would seriously impede conservation. "Stockholders will exert great pressures on . companies to accelerate timber cutting in order to offset income loss. In responding to these pressures, companies owning timber will return to the liquidation practices so common prior to l9zX4, when conservation left much to be desired," he explained.

o'It should also be borne in mind," he said, 'othat the accelerated cutting will tend to reduce prices and thus reduce profits. This, in turn, will further reduce tax revenues.tt

The witness pointed out that his bank manages many trust funds and that, if Con' gress votes to do away with timber gains, "our bank will have to be particularly forceful in recommending to the manage' ment of forest companies that they accel' erate their timber severances in order to realize the maximum return on standing timber."

Chase added that "the very existence of this threat to change the tax treatment of timber has deeply shaken our confidence as an investor in the future of this indus try, which needs long-term incentives."

CATIFORNIA TUMBERMAN STATES 1944 CAP'TAL GAINS TAX TREATMENT SAVED HIS BUSINESS

A California lumberman told the House Ways and l\{eans Committee in March that capital gains tax treatment on timber sales voted by Congress in 1944 saved his busi' ness {rom complete collapse and provided an incentive for long'term timber growth.

R. G. Watt of Redding. an officer and director of the Ochoco Lumber Company of Princeville, Ore., in a statement filed with the committee, opposed the Admin' istration's proposals to change provisions of Section 631 (a) and (b) of the Inter' nal Revenue Code. His statement was one of many offered in defense of present capi' tal gains tax treatment on timber.

"The Ochoco Lumber Company, from 19.38 to 1943, had engaged in the wholesale cutting of its timberlands and was in a liquidation proces.s," said Watt. "If our operations had gone on at that pace, we would have closed our doors within a few years. In I9,K, when the tax law on timber was changed, the management decided to change its methods of operation and to hold its timber for future long-term growth."

Watt also said that he and a group of associates purchased a timber tract in northern California 18 years ago, or soon after Congress had passed the capital gains tax provision.

ool would like to tell the committee that this purchase would have been unattractive

to us, and it would not have been made without the capital gain provisior4" he declared, adding:

"If timber owners believed that, in the long run, Congress would not be persuaded to retain gain treatmont of timber small to medium-sized timber owners would either (l) sell out to large corporations, or (2) they would have to cut their timber as rapidly as possible and shut down their operations,"

Watt was optimistic, however, about how Congress ultimately will handle the capital gains issue stating:

" . , in my own view, timber owners who are generally dealing with assets that have a life of 60, 80, or 100 years would recognize that eventually the Congress would have to return some sort of capital gain treatment to timber.

"With this in mind, I would recommend to our companies that they drastically cur' tail the cutting of their own timber, await' ing this change in capital gain law. This would bring about a wild scramble for l'orest Service timber, would force the small operators out of business, and greatly increase the number of unemployed in the lumber industry."

Other forest industry objections to the Administration's proposals have been voiced in resolutions of the American Forestry Association, Society of American Foresters. Association of State Foresters, and by the Legislatures of several states, in' cluding Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina, Maine and ldaho.

FOREST MANAGEMENT ON SUSTAINED BASIS MADE POSSIBLE BY CAPITAT GAINS TAX TREATMENT

Passage in 1944 of capital gains tax treatment on timber sales saved the Boise Cascade Corporation, of Boise, Idaho, from forced liquidation of its timberlands and made possible a program of forest management on a sustained yield basis, the House Ways and Means Committee was told on March 21.

R. V. Hansberger, Boise Cascade president, cited the history of his company as an example of what Section 63I (a) and (b)of the Internal Revenue Code has meant to forest management in the l2-state Western Pine Region, largest lumber producing area of the United States.

In testimony bearing on an Administration proposal to eliminate capital gains treatment on timber sold by corporations, Hansberger said the 1944 enactment enabled his company to accomplish a complete about-face of policy and o'work out a plan looking toward the continued cooperation of its manufacturing plants and the management and operation of the for-

The company has approximately 4,000 shareholders and operates primarily in the area between the Cascade Mountains and the Rockies.

"Our company furnishes a striking example of the contribution of Section 63I to the sustained yield management of private forest lands," said Hansberger. Prior to l9zM Boise Cascade Corporation was committed to the lifldation of its privatelyowned timber and timberland resources, This liquidation policy was reflected even in directors' resolutions declaring dividends."

At that time, he continued, the company had about 500 employees involved in the forest products industry. During its liquidation phase. the company made only minor capital improvements in its two

ooVisit your customdrs," Everitt urged the producers, "and see your merchandise flow through the retail yard to the consumer. You'll find many ways to help sales for your product.

GRADE MARK NEEDCD

oolumber isn't sold when you put the seal on the car door. It isn't sold until it's in place in home or building. What retailers need is materials we can merchandise with confidence. Most good dealers would definitely prefer that every piece of lumber have a grade mark on it."

Everitt, who is retired from long sales service with Long-Bell but is still active in family retail operations in the Southwest and in component manufacturing, advocated well-planned courses as a means of increasing confidence of yard salesmen. Lumber's competitors are making it easy to sell, and wood product manufacturers must do the same, he said.

He predicted that 1963 would see a rise in sales to $10.6 billions for building ma. terial dealers, and pointed out that the home improvement market may reach $15 billion this year.

G. Cleveland Edgett, executive vice president for WCLA, called for unity in the lumber industry.

mills, harvested only the prime timber nearest these plants, engaged in little research and development, and even sold portions ofits company-owned timberlands. This was common practice in the industry in the Western Pine Region at that time, the witness pointed out.

o'Subsequent to the adoption by Congress of Section 631 of the Internal Revenue Code, the corporation reversed its policy of liquidation, stopped the selling of company-owned timberlands, began to make substantial capital expenditures in its sawmills, inaugurated a program of sustained yield forestry applicable to its own lands, and began to purchase from the Forest Service and from others a sufficient portion of the company's timber requirements so that it could return its remaining timberlands to permanent productivity," Hansberger said.

Today, the company executive noted, Boise Cascade has expanded employment

He remarked that, ooThe fight to liberalize building codes has just begun. Standardizing our grades and sizes will be an important step, and we are helping to work out a fair compromise, so that all segments of the industry will have an equal chance.

COOPERAIION NEEDED

Calling for closer efforts by lumber and plywood groups, Edgett noted, o'The salvation of the wood industry may well be to look jointly to its mutual problems and to resolve those areas in which we are competitive.

Outgoing President Garnett warned the Iumbermen that t'we cannot allow ourselves to be lulled into thinking that a restriction of imports will solve all of our present problems. We must continue to improve our products, and make them easier to specify."

Progress has been made, he said, toward acc€ptance ofll1inch dry dimension. Following interim approval by FHA, many mills have received orders for the new size lumber, and have asked for special stamps from the W'est Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau.

Solution is nearer for the dispute over equivalent green sizes in dimension lumber, and when the sizes are determined it will require more strict mill inspection by the Bureau, such as behind the planer checking of sizes and moisture content, but this will add more prestige to our grade marks, Garnett said.

in the forest products industry to 5,400 jobs. It is significant, he said, that of the company's 35 forest products factories now in operation, 17 oI them are located in communities where Boise Cascade is the principal employer.

"Today we operate our timberlands on a sustained yield basis, in spite of the extremely long growth cycle of timber in our area," said Hansberger. "ln 1962, approximately 30 per cent of our total requirements of timber came from our own lands Without the effect of Section 63I, it is mv opinion that Boise Cascade would not be engaged in the forest products industry today."

He said if the proposal of the Treasury Department is implemented, "our corporation would have no choice in its economic struggle in the extremely competitive forest products industry but to return, at least in part, to the practices of the l94O's."

THEI PACIFIC LUMBEIR' COMPANY

Report on Efforts to Secure FHA Acceptance of New Engineered Lumber Sizes

After more than three years of effort a simplified and standardized system of lumber grades and sizes has been developed and is being supported by a substantial number of quality lurnber producers throughout the nation.

The purpose of the new system of lumber grades and sizes is twofold: First, to make lumber easier and more economical to specify, purchase and use; and secondly, to effect a general improvement in overall lumber quality and conformance to standards,

A significant provision in the new system' particularly from the standpoint of im' proved and more economical construction has been the development of new engineered dimensions for studs, joists, rafters and other light framing which will apply at en average moisture content of fSlo. While the thickness of the new lumber has been reduced slightly ftom l5/8" to the easier fraction ot ll/zt', widths have been maintained at 35/8t', 5r/2", 'll/r",91/2tt, at lhe I5/o average moisture content condition. This means, according to U.S. Forest Products Laboratory data, that lumber produced to the new sizes at l5/o is equal or superior to the substantial volume of lumber which is presently surfaced to l6/e" in thickness and subsequently shrinks after installation.

ALSC PROPOSAT

The more efficient ly2" dry lumber thick' ness and a new economiealS/gil board thickness were proposed to the American Lumber Standards Committee at the May, 1962 meeting for acceptance as standard dimensions. In proposing the new dimensions, it was pointed out that the new dry size would also remove a disparity in green and dry Iumber sizes which has existed for a number of years; i.e., that dry lumber, although stronger and stiffer than green lumber, is produced to significantly larger dimensions than the green counterpart when both are measured at the same moisture condition.

At the January 25, 1963, meeting of the Special Subconhittee of the American Lumber Standards Committee to discuss proposed new sizes for green and dry surfaced lumber, the Subcommittee recommended that the I5/o average moisture condition be used to equate green and dry lumber sizes and, despite submittal of private research data on wood shrinkage, designated the U.S. Forest Products [,aboratory as the official source for shrinkage in-

formation upon which the new sizes were to be based. Although there was strong opposition from green lumber producers and from the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau, the AIS Subcommittee, including the consumer, specifier and engineer members, also displayed a significant majority preference for the l\z" dry lumber thickness as the basis for developing new sizes for lumber surfaced at the green condition.

FORIIAT NEQUEST TO FHA

In order to make the new engineered dry lumber sizes available to the designer and builder as quickly as a substantial portion of lumber industry production could be converted to this size, a formal request was made to FHA on October 5, 1962, for acceptance of the new ll2" dry lumber as a non-standard size stamped in accordance with present American Lumber Standards procedures. Subsequently, technical discussions and data were presented at numerous meetings with FHA technical personnel to substantiate the adequacy of the new dimensions over present FHA spans for joists and rafters.

On November 29, 1962, a second letter was written to FHA explaining the ade' quacy of the new dry lumber size and asking for FHA acceptance to permit produc' tion of lumber to the new size by January l, 1963. Following the November 29th ler ter, a letter.of approval'of the new lumber size was actually drafted by FHA and acceptance of the new size was promised, provided that the adequacy of the new lumber over present FHA spans would be veri' fied by the Forest Products Laboratory in accordance with FHA procedures.

Promptly, Dr. Locke, Director of the Forest Products Laboratory, assured FHA in writing that the new Wzt' dry size was equal or superior to the l5/g" green lumber which has been accepted by FHA for many years. Dr. Locke stated further that the Laboratory would have no objection to the use of the new ll/r" lumber over present FHA spans.

Upon receipt of Dr. Locke's letter, FHA technical personnel then introduced certain questions relative to lumber shrinkage which required additional clarification. After further delay, these questions were resolved by a second letter from the Forest Products Laboratory, reafrrming the FPL shrinkage data used in the original lumber calculations. The second FPL letter also re-

iterated the adequacy oI Lr/2" dry Iumber over present FHA spans and its strength and stifiness superiority over green lumber.

More than four months have now elapsed since initial negotiations with FHA for acceptance of the new lumber sizes. Hundreds of dry lumber producers have been standing ready to provide the new It/2" lumber and are still awaiting FHA acceptance. Discussions with officials at FHA make it apparent that the continuing delay in granting acceptance has been due not to technical considerations but rather has resulted from objections raised by certain green lumber producers and distributors and by the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau. Such objections, of course, are not technically substantiated and are at variance with the technical informati,on presented by the U.S. Forest Produats l,aboratory. Therefore, they must be attributed solely to competitive interests.

The National Lumber Manufacturers Association represents quality producers of both green and dry lumber who have recognized the present inconsistencies in our lumber size standards. It has been to standardize the sizes of green and dry lumber on a technically equivalent basis that the ne* W2" dry size has been developed.

oPPOSTTTON VOTCED

It is understandable that any new development which would improve the quality of dry lumber and make it more economically competitive with green lumber would be opposed by green lumber manufacturers and distributors who have little or no interest in the production and use of dry lumber. It is significant to note, however, that the lumber produced and distributed by the green lumber opponents of the new dry size does not and has not complied with FHA Minimum Property Standards.

The objection voiced by the Southen Pine Inspection Bureau to a proposal which would improve the efficiency and economy of dry lumber, particularly when this agency only grades dry lumber, is somewhat more difficult to understand. Here again, however, competitive interests are involved in that it has been suggested that the slight reduction in freight charges for the new 1l/r" dry dimension might be more significant to those who have a greater distance to ship their material to rnarket; i.e., the dry producers in the West.

These, basically, are the issues at hand.

"A dependable reputation for quality has made West Coast Lumber outstanding in the years I have been engaged in the retail lumber busincss. Now, with componcnts becoming more popular with builders, it is easy for a dealer to establish his own fabrication plant and use the West Coast Lumber from his inventory to build trusses and wall sections. West Coast Lumber adapts easily to the trcnds in building."

An increasing number of retail lumbel dealers arc cntering the component building field to serve their buildel and farmer customers better: and more profitably. This step is made easy because the basic material for components is taken from their inventory of standard sizes and grades of West Coast Lumber'.

They have nothing to do with the technical adequacy or acceptability of the new engineered lumber size in relation to Present FHA design criteria. In fact, it is questionable whether those who are urging FHA not to gccept new ll2" lumber are actually aware of the technical considerations which must govern the FHA decision and which have been verified by the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory.

The request for FHA acceptance of a non-standard lumber size is not unusual. FHA presently accepts | 9/Ig',3/nt', and ll/lg'lumber, all of which are non-standard sizes manufactured by both green and dry producers. It seems most unusual, therefore, that FHA would recognize the opposition of those who cannot or do not wish to produce the new lL/2tt dry lumber, in contrast to the best efforts of those who desire to produce in accordance with high standards of quality and in the hest interests of the builder, specifier and the homebuying public.

At a recent meeting of leaders in the lumber manufacturing industry with key members of the National Association of Home Builders, builders indicated they would welcome the more efficient new dry size and would specify such material as soon as FHA acceptance was granted. Many lumber producers are standing ready to manufacture the new drv lumber size. The

ALS Subcommittee presently considering new lumber sizes has indicated a prefer' ence for the ll,!' dry lumber dimensions as the basis for developing new larger green sizes. It is, therefore, most difficult to un' derstand FHA hesitancy to accept lumber produced to the new dimensions and rnore definitive moisture content.

If FHA Minimum Property Standards are to be of greatest benefit to the home' buyer, they must be based upon sound technical data and not be influenced by competitive producer interests. For if it is possible for producers of one type of lum' ber to prevent the acceptance by FHA of another lumber product, then it seems also logical that political pressures applied by competitive materials, such as aluminum, steel, concrete, etc., might also have an effect upon FHA acceptance of lumber, plastics and other building products.

The FHA Minimum Property Standards have come to be regarded as model regulations for good construction, despite minor objections from builders, specifiers and producers. It is inconceivable, therefore, that future acceptability of new materials and methods designed to provide for better and more economical home construction could be influenced by objections from manufacturers of competitive products. Yet the unwarranted delay in gaining approval of a slightly modified lumber size, over a four-

month period, should serve as a warning to all groups who recognize the importance of sound, unbiased construction requirements for FHA guaranteed homes.

Chonge of Rote Bosis on lmported Hordwood Plynrood Shipments

Preliminary information has been received by the Imported Hardwood Plywood Association, San Francisco, that the Hong Kong/Pacific, and Honk Kong Atlantic and Gulf Conferences are in the process of changing the rate basis on imported hardwood plywood shipments to surface measurement.

This follows recent action taken by the Japan-Atlantic and Gulf Freight Conference, and the Trans-Pacific Freight Conference of Japan, both of which recently adopted the simplified surface measure method of determining freight rates on plywood.

Eric Wagner, newly elected president of IHPA and chairman of the IHPA committee recommending these changes, expressed gratification that the conferences had accepted this simplified rate method.

The initial adoption of plywood and ve neer rates on a surface measure basis by the conferences was the result of several years of study and recommendations by the IHPA to the Conferences.

Ask Ken Rogge what it takes to build a million plus board feet a month operation in ten years from scratch out of a small saw mill in the woods. The answer, direct and straight, from an operator who started working in a lumber mill at 16, is typically Ken Rogge: "Understand thoroughly every job in your plant and hire dependable, competent workmen."

Supplying California markets more than 3 million board feet regularly every month from the only o'completely covered storage" on the Pacific Coast, the plant is geared to the particular needs of the California market. Loaded barges leave the covered dock at Rogge Lumber at least once a week and head south half an hour later on the Pacific to California. After frve days on the Pacific, the two cranes mounted on the barge are lifting and swinging lumber to the docks ready for Southern California customers.

Joining Ken Rogge in making water shipment of lumber from the Port of Bandon a volume factor in the Los Angeles and San Diego areas are two substantial and long established names in California lumber merchandising-Art Neth, A. W. Neth Lumber Sales and Dant and Russell, Inc., Portland. Neth, southern California representative for D and R (selling organization for Ken Rogge) can point to an outstanding achievement in building Southern California sales of dimension lumber for Dant and Russell to a new peak.

The real story here, however, is Ken Rogge and what he is doing. That efiort reached a peak almost two years ago when Rogge moved his resaw and set up a planing operation into a two acre enclosed plant alongside U. S. Highway l0l on the Coquille River. Rogge puts it this way: "I simply got tired of working in the mud!"

That was the motivating force behind the new Rogge Lumber Company plant. Operating one to one and a half shifts, Ken Rogge employs 42 including his sawmill operation 5 miles south of Bandon. logging crew and trucking operation. Rogge uses no contract operators, hires nothing done on the outside. Being able

Rogge Lumber ls Geared To The California Markef

to supervise your own crew is the key to quality and efficiency, Rogge believes.

Backed now by owning his own timber, which he runs through his sawmill, Rogge buys logs at private and government sales as well as rough cants for resawing and planing. Like everything else in the Rogge Lumber operation, timber and log supplies are geared to giving the California lumber customer a reliable, continuous supply of what he wants when he wants it.

Output at Rogge Lumber is largely in dimension with emphasis on specialized lengths. The largest percentage of Rogge Lumber Company cut moves into Southern California.

Customers and other mill operators inspecting the Rogge Lumber plant with Ken Rogge are irnpressed immediately by his constant supervision, interest and effort to improve quality and efficiency.

Ken Roggs, standing at head of long table of Rogge produced lumber ready for shipment bY barge to California. The smile comes, Ken saYs, from the guaranteed "drY ' climate" because everY piece is produced under cover and stored in this 70,000 square foot building before shiPPing. Makes demand {or Rogge lumber very good, too, according to Dant & Rus' sell. Portland and Art Neth, Southern California reoresentative.

They talk most of all, however about looking down an aisle with several million feet of lumber under nearly two acres of covered storage space. Here, after end-sealing with a wax base paint, Rogge lumber is kept dry for shipping completely protected from rain and dirt. Even lumber waiting for loading on the dock is under cor-erl

Ken Rogge quietly points out the ease of handling and greater efficiency for customers using Rogge "dry storage" dimension lumber. It is one of the things he says with confidence since Rogge Lumber Company has the only storage facility on the Pacific Coast large enough to keep both plant and production "out of the mud." So, it is not difficult to understand why Rogge, Art Neth and Dant and Russell all confidently make the point that Rogge Lumber is more than just a little "better."

One of the many "better" things about

Rogge Lumber is the steady, dependable, year around water shipping schedule. Sturdy, ocean-going barges with cranes permanently mounted on both ends provide efficient and quick loading and unloading. \fith capacities of 2,500,000 feet of lumber, these barges loaded with Rogge lumber are moved by tugs of the Puget Sound Tug and Barge Co. in just five days to the southern California market. In nearly two years experience, water shipment by barge has proven to be more dependable as well as more economical than other conventional forms of transportation.

When asked how he came to choose Bandon in Coos County, Oregon ten years ago, Ken Rogge came back with his usual matter of fact, direct answer, ool liked the looks of the coast here and I thought that opportunity was here." There's more to the story'of Rogge Lumber Co., however, than its 46 year old manager indicates in that statement.

Long ago, you can sense, Ken Rogge made up his mind that he liked lumber and lumbering; that he'd train himself for the {uture by hard work and a wide range of experience; and that he could do his best work and achieve the satisfaction a real "builder" desires by owning and building his own lumber operation. If you followed Ken Rogge from the age of 16, you'd travel through the forests and mills in Michigan until during World War II when Ken Rogge ran a mill in Alaska. To check on the appeal of the Pacific Coast, Rogge worked in a mill in Chehalis, Washington for a short period after his Alaska stint. Then followed a five year period managing a hardwood mill in Michigan for the Edward Hines Lumber Company. Then-next the building of the first Rogge Lumber Company mill-and now the new Rogge plant on a site unsurpassed on Oregon's coast,

Two names associated with Ken Rogge are synonymous in southern California lumber sales (and have been for years). The names: Art Neth and Dant and Russell. Art Neth started to build his knowledge of saw milling and the lumber market in Portland not too many years after Dant and Russell first began. Widely known throughout Southern California, Art Neth joined Dant and Russell in Los Angeles in 1943 and handled all sales since 1945. Neth built the D and R Southern California branch to one of the largest in the United States. Credited with a keen, penetrating knowledge of market conditions, Art Neth is now Dant and Russell's Southern California representative, operating as A. W. Neth Lumber Sales.

Dant and Russell, Inc. maintains general offices in Portland and has continued worldwide operations as well as dometic

rail and water operations. D and R, working with Ken Rogge as his sales agent, has sparked a sharp upturn in the water shipment of lumber to Southern California. With Rogge Lumber Company accounting for a major portion, estimates made here recently indicate that Dant and Russell are now selling and shipping to Southern

Formation of an Industrial Marketing Division oI Potlatch Forests, Inc., has been announced by Leonard K. Floan, Vice President, Lumber and Wood Products. Division Manager will be Harry L. Grove, Tacoma, Washington.

The new division will market cut stock produced at the Lewiston, Idaho, mill and Southern pine cut stock from the BradleySouthern operation in Warren" Arkansas.

California 60 million feet a year of Oregon lumber.

Art Neth says it something like this: "Take a better lumber product like Ken Rogge cuts, the 65 years of experience and ingenuity of the Dant and Russell organization, plus the Southern California market and you can't tell how high we'll go!"

It will also sell the Company's full lumber and plywood line to industrial accounts and will function as a wholesaler of lumber and plywood products.

Grove, a graduate of Iowa State lJniversity with a Bachelor of Science degree in forestry, began his career with the AllWood Manufacturing Company, where he served as general manager in charge of sales, procurement and manufacturing.

He joined Weyerhaeuser Company in 1949 and handled industrial accounts for wood products in the Midwest. He was appointed Manager of the Industrial Wood Parts Department in 1956 and was responsible for selling cut stock produced by Weyerhaeuser Company and contract suppliers. The department, renamed Industrial Fabricated Products early this year, also carried on a wholesale business in these products.

Grove will be headquartered at the newly-established division office in Tacoma, Washington. Industrial sales representatives within the division are: Jack R. Eggan, Minneapolis, Minnesota; Roland S. Rehm, Glen Ellyn, Illinois; and Robert E. Shaffer, Bethel, Connecticut. John L. Hedden will be sales service supervisor at the Tacoma Office.

Underwriters Approve Wood-Foced Composite lrA-Hour Fire Door

The Fire Council of the Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. has given its label of approval to the Weldwood l/2'hour fire doorthe only veneer-faced composite fire door on the market with this rating, United States Plywood Corporation announced.

This Weldwood door, which now may be used in any interior in' stallation where codes specify l)/2-hour doors, was specially designed for hazardous locations such as vertical shafts and stair wells. Core material is U. S. Plywood's incombustible Weldrok.

Tests were conducted with 4' x 7t frre doors, including hinges and cylinder locksets-the maximum size door allowed under this label's privilege. Further tests are scheduled to permit vision pan' elso mortise closers and mortise locks, the company added.

"While many hollow metal doors have the l1/z-hour label, few of them have the heat transmission loss rating of the Weldwood door," says N. F. Schumaker, manager of U. S. Plywoods door department. "This represents a real breakthrough for our team of research and development experts."

Peninsula Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club 8 and Santa Clara Valley HooHoo Club 170 combined talents for a Gala Company Night Party on Tuesday evening, March 19, at the El Rancho Restaurant in Palo Alto. An estimated 75 lumber guys and dolls attentled the event which featured entertainment, raffie prizes, door prizes, dancing and good food. As the accompanying photos will attest, the party was a big success and will become a regular annual feature on the calendars of both clubs.

The label for the Weldwood fire door will read: "Rating I/9hour (B), temperature rise 30 minutes-250 degrees Fahrenheit maximum."

This rating figure sets a limit of 250 degrees maximum temperature rise at the end of 30 minutes exposure {or the "cold side" of the door. By this time the Underwriters' Laboratories furnace has reached a temperature of almost 1,600 degrees F.

Underwriters' time ratings for fire doors are determined in test chambers where the doors are exposed on one side to gas flames which for the final hour of the test are maintained at approximately I,700 degrees F.

Thermocouples meanwhile record heat transmission tempera' tures on the cold side of the door-the side not exposed to direct flame. Maximum temperature rise of this cold side must not ex' ceed a given figure-25O degrees in the case of the new Veldwood door during the first 30 minutes of the test.

Tests are run for specified periods-lrl hours in this instance. The door finally must remain in its opening under 30 lbs. psi. water pressure from fire hoses.

Throughout the test, the chamber is obqprved to determine that there is no flame penetration of the door.

The K/D Cedar Story

Hous to Succeed in Business by Really Trying!

Marriage and business have a lot in common. Lacking love, misunderstanding and hard work, both will ultimately fail.

But this is a happy story in both departments, so may we present Merv and Doris Kjer, husband and wife, and owners of K/D Cedar Supply Co. and Marshall Shingle Co., in Hayward. Merv and Doris have utilized the aforementioned magic in. gredients to make not only a success of their marriage, but a success of their business.

During June of this year, K/D' Cedar Supply Co. will celebrate its fourth birth. day. Not a long time perhaps, but considering the business climate plaguing irur industry in recent years, the company has shown rerrarkable growth. This has not been by accident. This business reflects the love, understanding and hard work that has gone into its development. But let's start at the beginning.

The Kjers, who purchased Marshall Shingle Co. this past January, first met when they went to work for that company in 1949. Prior to that. heavv construction was Merv"s forte. In fact he entered that field during 1934, and developed into a precutting specialist of considerable skill.

Doris! W'ell, that's the gasser, folks. Prior to joining Marshall Shingle, Doris worked for the Peter Paul Candy Co. Her forte !It was putting the "tw; deHcious toasted almonds" on top of each candv bar! For some strange r"uron Doris did not find this work over stimulatine. So she set out to learn the mechanics of "business; so well, in fact, that she became bookkeeper and office manager {or Marshall Shingle Co. in t949.

In 1952, Merv and Doris exchanged wedding vows, neither of them realizing they would be signing another kind of partnership agreement in another seven years. Merv rose to the position of general manager for Marshall Shingle, a firm estabtished in 1926 by the late Ed Marshall; Doris continued to ride herd on the office detail, but more and more found herself involved in sales as well.

During early 1959, the couple set up the ground rules for their new business. It would be wholesale to dealers only. And it would offer LCL service as well as direct mill shipments by rail or truck.

Sales Agents for American Walnut ComPany

lmporting Company Appointed

Announcement was made last month by Frank M. Rawolle, president, and W. A' "Bill" Howe, vice-president, Mahogany Importing Co., South Pasadena, Califor' nia, that the wholesale distributing concern had been named exclusive sales agents for Arnerican Walnut Company.

Their broad territory will include the states west of the Mississippi, plus several states east of the river and including a number of Canadian Provinces. This assures the many customers of Mahogany Importing in all areas of the 'West of a steady source of supply from another of the many mills, foreign and domestic. who release through the South Pasadena firm.

The American'Walnut Company, Kansas City, Kansas, is the world's largest producer of walnut sunstock blanks; they

ship virtually to every United States manufacturer, and are the suppliers to the Ca' nadian Arsenal and many other foreign countries. This specialty is in addition to the millions of feet of walnut lumber man' ufactured for the markets of the world.

According to Robert Bolon, executive vice-president of American Walnut, the firm's mill and equipment has been completely rebuilt since 196I. New equipment includes a six-foot band mill and automatic carriage and a unique steaming process with complete control of heat and humidity which produces a uniform rich color without heat damage to lumber. Use of short and rough logs in gunstock production leaves only the best logs for lumber production, it was stated.

This complete operation, including the

modern Moore Dry Kiln with a capacity of 250,00C1t, is in the capable hands of Max Jessen, general superintendent. Max, a native of Denmark, takes old world pride in seeing that every item shipped is of the finest quality; that is why he has been with the manufacturing concern for more than 38 years, advised Ralph Perry. president of American Walnut Company.

The Mahogany Importing Company is well qualified to present a firm with such a wide scope, according to president Frank Rawolle. His firm was organized more than 20 years ago by key executives, and around the facilities. of Cadwallader-Gib' son Lumber Qompany who specialized in the distribution of Philippine hardwoods in the United States in the early 1920's. President Rawolle has been identified with the firm since 1955, having previously served with, and helped establish the Bislig Bay Lumber in the Philippines, owned by A. Soriano, y Cia, where he spent more than l0 years following the close WWII.

Bill Howe, vice-president of the progressive wholesale hardwood concern, is a veteran in the distribution field. He has been active with Mahogany Importing since 1960 and has a background of more than 26 years in the distribution of hardwood lumber. He is assisted by Robert E. ooBob" Crotty, who is in charge of the domestic hardwood division. Bob also is long on experience having started his career in 1936 with the Western Hardwood Lumber Company in Los Angeles.

New P. E. l. Wood Bricks Solve Builders' Problems

If it is a beach cabana, luxury home, or a hunting lodge inland, one of the newest products for major distribution in the California area has the answer to the builder's problems.

PEI Wood Brick, Inc., represented by Irv Winger, 5438 \\r. 104th St., Los Angeles, is presenting the new product. ,It is one of the most exciting items on. the commercial or 'oDo-It-Yourself' building scene in many years.

8-2141

PEI Wood Brick is the answer to beauty, comfort and quality needs of the most discerning handyman or builder. New in national trade, wood bricks utilize the versatility, strength, natural charm and beauty of wood under a new set of engineering methods invented in Chile less than five years ago.

Bill Grim Inc. of Wichita, Kansas, widely known for their efiorts to bulld free enterprise throughout the world, brought this patent to the United States. PEI Wood Brick won honors by being named among the Top 15 New Products listings by Building Products Magazine.

The bricks are manufactured by PEI Wood Brick Inc. of Wichita, with planing and finishing mills at Eureka, Calif." near the redwood forests which provide wood for making the bricks.

For the ooDo-It-Yourself" builder, a new partition, set of planters, room dividers, fence, or even adding a rorrm to the house can be done as easily as putting together a s:t o{ children's toy Lincoln Logs. Results glamorize a home.

This exciting new product is precision-planed to finish tongueand-groove fittings both top and underside. It features double-end matching for perfect sealing and finish on all sides.

Only tools needed to construct an entire home of this nerv product are a hammer, nails and a saw.

To the builder-contractor, PEI Wood Bricks mean ready buver acceptance for beauty and warmth. The material makes for smaller investment, less waste, saves time and money, cuts construction time two-thirds, and provides more quality at less cost. One experienced carpenter can build a home in its entirety.

Tests show home construction with PEI Sflood Bricks exceeds maximum standards set by FHA. High racking load resistance, resistance to heat loss and air and water infiltration. as well as insuldtion qualities bettering a l2-inch brick wall, and a sound transmission rate lower than standard wall construction are among attributes of this new material.

P.E.l. Wood Brick's lrv Winger points lo a wall made of the fabulous wood brick. Product was featured in a story in the January 18, 1963 issue of Life Magazine.

Irv Winger, West Coast factory representative, points out that in Chile following recent earthquakes, PEI Wood Brick homes were the only ones left standing.

The new product already is being used in many parts of the United States. Widely circulated news recently showed a particularly new use of the wood bricks. They were used in construction of the Viking Sequoia Sauna Bath rooms in the New York area. This story was a part of Li{e Magazine in the January 18, 1963, issue.

According to Mr. Winger, distributorships are available in some areas of California, Arizona and Nevada. Full information can be secured by contacting or writing PEMood Brick, Inc., Vest Coast office at 5438 West l04th Street in Los Angeles, Calif. Their telephone number is SPring 6-2594.

Longlime Sowmill Closed

One of Lane County's (Oregon) long-established sawmills discontinued operations on March 29. Officials of Giustina Bros. Lumber Company, Eugene, announced that the firm's main sawmill will be shut'down permanently. A plywood plant, and a smaller stud mill will continue to operate.

Ehrman Giustina, one of the partners, said competition from Canadian imports, higher taxes, plant obsolescence, and air pollution regulations were all factors in the firm's decision to close down the mill. Approximately 35 employees were affected by the shutdown, but management expressed hope that some of the men could be absorbed into other phases of the firm's operations.

The first Giustina Bros. mill was established at Dexter (Lane County) in 1923, by Ermino and George Giustina, brothers who came to America from Italy. The present partners are brothers Ehrman, Nat and Gregory, and their uncle Ansel.

Ehrman Giustina notes that the closing follows a trend being experienced throughout Oregon, Washington and California.

"It's the Canadian import situation that is the thorn in our side," Giustina declared. In 1948, Canada had 3 percent of our lumber market. Now the figure is right around 16 percent."

Giustina said the firm has been relying on federal timber sales for about 60 percent of its log supply in recent years, and utilizing its own holdings for the other 40 percent.

With the closing of its main mill these percentages will be approximately reversed, he said. The company plans to continue cutting its own timber on a sustained yield basis.

Lumber Size Controversy-A Logical Solution

by JOHN E. TUNNICUFFE, Generol Monoger Colifornio Lumber Inspection Service

Assuming new size standards will be established by the ALS Committee for green surfaced lumber and for dry surfaced lumber at a set M.C. percentage, it is appropriate to review major opposition to size standards changes. Most green lurnber producerso building officials, wholesalers. and retailers of the West Coast area do not want changes in present size standards; these principals believe industry efforts to induce said changes are a waste of time, because present standards are serving the industry adequately;it is stated there are no problems warranting changes; also, it is believed size change proposals are only being promoted by large dry lumber producers seeking economic advantages. Be that as it may, if differential size standards of dry surfaced and green surfaced lumber are definitely to be adopted by the ALS Committee in May, the opposition of the size standards change proposals will certainly advocate any plan which will satisfy the adopted ALS Committee principle of size-M.C. correlation,

of industry production, distribution, and marketing.

The NLMA proposal oI lr/2" dry thickness for 2" nominal dimension is not looked upon favorably in California, because of the extensively-used 3/n" resawn board; therefore, the base point oI lL/rt' dry is not endorsed to any great extent. The plan most {avored, if size changes are inevitable, is the use of present ALS size standards for green surfaced lumber with just, equitable size scanting equivalents which will brins about the least diskrcainn

for dry surfaced lumber, resulting in the same sizes for both after reaching equilibrium in service. The most reliable" in' dependent studies have shown that soft' woods shrink to a maximum of 1.5/o @ l9a/c M.C., and to a maximum of 2/6' Gf $% M.C. On this basis, size differ' entials, using the present ALS size standards for green surfaced lumber, can be shown for equitable dry surfaced sizes by the following accurate, simple tables:

Appointmenls Announced

In conjunction with the company's current reorganization and expansion of its varied lines in California and other market areas, T. A. Work, Jr', general manager and president of The Work Lumber Co., Inc. Monterey (also The Work Mill & Cabinet Co., Inc., and Work-M' L. Cases, Inc.), has announced the following ap' pointments:

Will Lockyear, controller; Gordon Wil' kinson, buyer; George Kristovich, manu' facturing manager; and Rutledge Bray, sales manager.

We're independent-not tied to any mill or line. If any reputable supplier has the materials our customers require, he doesn't need a lasso to get our business he can't miss ! Contrarywise, if he has the biggest selling brand in the industry and it doesn't fit the needs of our clientele, he can peddle it elsewhere. As your purchasing agents, and experts in this field, we insist on freedom of choice-independence-and offer you the same.

I have had building supply dealers tell me that credit granting and collection procedures generally adopted in other mercantile outlets o'will not work" in their operation. Nothing could be further from the truth, for basically credit is credit.

In fact, lumber yards with retail stores should be more cautious in their credit granting procedures than many other types of retail outlets. Why? Compare your monthlv cash sales with your monthly credit sales.

By comparison, credit managers in furniturg appliance, motor car, television and radio sales outlets carefully evaluate the credit rating, character, stability and ability to pay of the applicant, even though thev are buying a repossessable item, and come up with a yes or no that can easily

be related to good credit granting practices. Credit managers of these businesses want to be paid, and their decisions are not based on the fact that the item can be repossessed in the event of default.

Building supply dealers should adopt very careful credit granting procedures, for lumber, nails, paint, etc., can hardly be repossessed once used.

Furthermore, many of those I have called upon to assist were found to be actually gullible when asked for credit by contractors. Contractors requesting open book credit nreant big ticket sales, end sales took precedence over good judgment. No member of the dealer's stafi took time. or knew how. to discriminate between the speculator and the contractor with financial stability who was able to meet the demands

of his creditors without depending entirely on his draws.

One firm quick to adopt sound and practical credit selling procedures, together with good relationship between the sales force and the credit department, is Willow Lumber Company of San Jose, California.

Manager Bill Mitchell, an excellent merchandiser and businessman. discovered that displays, modern store fixtures, well-stocked inventories and good salesmanship were not all that was needed to succeed. He had to be paid for what he sold. Since the store was enlarged and modernized several years ago, resulting in a larger stafi, better supervision was needed, especially contractor sales.

Twenty-two hardy golfers braved both wind and deluge at Menlo Country Club on March 22, to pafiicipate in the club's l67th tournament. Those who managed to last the full eighteen holes did finally see some sunshine; but, all in all, it was a real test of man against the elements.

First flight-Roy Sjolund, Walt Hjort. Second flight-Bill Bonnell, Gordon Davis and Bob Macfie. Third flight-Ralph Meyer and Ralph Bowman, Jr. Guest flight-Jack Hill and Norm Hedstrom.

Host Hank Needham provided comfortable shelter in the club house and 27 members and guests enjoyed a very delicious dinner to wind up the day's soggy activities.

Good Community Relqtions

An investment of more than one hundred thousand dollars in good neighborliness was completed this month at the Redding (Calif.) plant of Calaveras Cement Company, a division of The Flintkote ComPany.

It consists of two huge steel tanks, each standing approximately 6O feet high and 30 feet across, built for the sole purpose of keeping dust from blowing off the end of a conveyor belt and into neighbors' yards.

The plant, less than a year old, is completely equipped with the latest devices which enable it to capture virtually all of

the dust normally arising from cement plant operations, and it is recognized as probably the cleanest cement manufacturing plant in the nation today.

However, one unanticipated dust "leak" developed at the point where crushed limestone is dropped from a conveyor belt onto a storage pile. Winds blowing across the crushed rock as it fell created oicasional annoyance for families living closest to the plant.

The two new tanks which now cover the storage pile completely prevent the dust from escaping into the air.

Calaveras plant manager James T. Curry said the company's expenditure of more than $100,000 will not afiect operational

efficiency of the plant.

"We simply want to be good neighbors," he declared.

The tanks were designed by Western Knapp Engineering Company of San Francisco. They were fabricated and erected by Consolidated Western Steel Company. Much of the construction work was done on overtime in order to take advantage of good building weather.

Coming Soon: Lumber Stress-Raled by Mochine

Mechanically stress-rated lumber will be coming into the market soon. With machines per{ected and soon available to the mills, the Western Pine association at Portland has just published Amended Supplement No. 3 to the 196I Standard Grading Rules, covering more fully the stress-rating of lumber by mechanical means.

A table showing the correlation of bending stress and stifiness is provided in the new supplement. The relationship of these "f" and "E" values is given at nine different stress levels. Four other strength properties are also listed in their accepted relationship to the others. The table applies to all species.

The rule provides that lumber stressrated by machine must be marked by the machine, and the stamp will show the Association trademark, mill number or name, species, and stress rating. Jurisdiction over the system is vested in the association's grade inspertion service.

Mechanical stress-rating of lumber is announced as an alternate system to be available along with the visual method of grading lumber for load-bearing use.

Gentlemen:

We have received this car of Kiln Dried Hemlock from you and were so pleased that we took pictures, that we have enclosed.

These pictures show the way this lumber was received in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was in perfect condition.

After the strapping was cut, this car was unloaded in 40 minutes. This is a greet labor saver. Lumber is received in units, all Iengths separated, which eliminates any more handling. The lumber is dry and clean and remains that way regardless of weather conditions.

Our customers have shown great interest and have asked for repeat shipments. We have been in the wholesale & retail business since 1850 and at that time used horse and wagon delivery. Since we know it is necessary to keep up with the ever changing times, we are using the modern lumberpack way of handling lumber. By always Iooking for more modern methods, we are able to pass them on to our customers and they in return have a great€r profit, by less handling costs, and in retuln, it increases our sales. We think this is one of the biggest steps in the Lumber Industry, in that way.

Yours very truly,

Thoughrs on fhe Lumber IndustryPost qnd Present

Pubhcation ol this brinl but interesting comment on the lumber ipdustry is a kind, ol "T'inker to Eaers to Cha,nte" triple play. Longtimc Vestern lumberman Andy Dorwuan sent in thn piece, uhich has been written by Raymond, Dickey, reta.il Inmber yord ouncr in Keokuk, Ioum, and, whbh appeared, in "Ths Pinion", pfiIication ol the Ronry CIub ol Keokuk.-Eilinr.

What did people work at before Keokuk had so many industries? The big thing in late 1800 and early 1900 was the lumber business and the packing houses. There were several saw mills along the river. White pine or northern pine logs were rafted down the Mississippi from up North and sawed into lumber.

The building of the Keokuk Dam took millions of feet of lumber, mosdy all yellow pine, which came from such Southern states as Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, Louisiana and others.

Not much yellow pine is used locally, mostly fir, larch, hemlock, spruce, cedar, redwood and ponderosa pine.

When I entered the lumber business in 1917, fir lumber was just coming into this market from the West Coast, Oregon and Washington. We received some that was soaking wet and it had to be piled, stripped and left outside in stacks for about four months. It was then put into bins. All the lumber we buy today is kiln-dried, and has been for a number of years.

To an old timer, it made quite an impression when I learned of the closing of Farley and Loetcher Millwork Company at Du. buque-the largest single millwork plant in the world. AIso the dosing of R-M Millwork Coupany at Muscatine, on December lst. R-M expressed the whole thing in a letter to me, dated October 24th. 'oDuring the past few years, in spite of strenuous efforts by management to improve our equipment and to broaden our sales, conditions within the willwork intiustry have been such that it has not been possible for R-M to make any real progress. Competition within our industry has been increasingly severe and manv orders have been taken knowing that they might not be made at a profit, but realizing that they did help in keeping the plant going. Loss of sales due to products in the building industry now being made of materials other than wood has also been a contributing factor,"

Lumber Ends Yeqr-long Tuolumne Strike

The strike of lumber mill workers which had idled more than l0/o oL Tuolumne county's (Calif.) population for nearly a year has ended with an immediate pay raise of l0 cents per hour.

Beginning April 19, 1962, the strike involved 1300 members of a lumber and sawmill workers' union.

The workers voted to accept an immediate l0 cent hourly pay increase, making the wage $2.14 per hour; plus l0 cents per hour to a pension fund starting in lJecember; plus whatever addi. tional pay increase may be agreed upon in current Central Cali. fornia mill wage negotiations.

Soles, Income Rise for Americqn Foresl Products

OBITUARIES

A. S. Murphy, 71, Chairman of the Boald of Directors of The Pacific Lumber Company, died April 9 at his home in San Francisco, after a brief illness.

Mr. Murphy began working at PALCO's rcdwood lumber operations in Scotia, California in 1911. He was made Executive Vice President in 1925, President in 1931, and had been Chairman of the Board since February 1961, when the Presidency was assumed by his son, Stanwood A. Murphy.

Soon after he became President, the company pioneered in developing and marketing by-products from redwood bark and sawdust. It was also the first to produce end-glued and edge-glued redwood lumber products.

He instituted the first employee retirement program in the redwood lumber industry, and the first electrification of mills in the redwood region.

Mr. Murphy was also President and Director of the Penobscot Iron Ore Co. of Detroit, Michigan, and had formerly been a Director of the California Redwood Association and the Redwood Export Company. Also prominent in eattle ranching, he was active inthe Santa Gertrudis Breeders International.

He was born in Detroit and attended Detroit University. He started working at The Pacific Lumber Company during summer vacations, while attending college. During World War I he joined the U.S. Navy and served as a lieutenant.

In 1920, after war service, he returned to The Pacific Lumber Company and gained experience in woods and mill operations, eastern sales work, and export operations before being named Executive Vice President in 1925.

He maintained a very active part in his business until last year when his health took a turn for the worse.

Notable advances in forest conservation and wood utilization, leading to PALCO's sustained yield forest operations, were made during Mr. Murphy's management of the company. Tractor logging v/as started in the 1930's, enabling the company to plan permanent rcdwood timber operations thtough selective cutting.

Mr. Murphy was a member of a family whose lumber operations started in Maine in 1833, and later extended through Michigan and Wisconsin to Northern California, where The Pacific Lumber Company was established.

Dear Bro. Dick:

I am enclosing an article written by Raymond Dickey, a friend of mine and retail lumber yard owner in Keokuk, Iowa. The remarks about Farley & Loetscher and the R-M Millwork there, as well as the reasons for closing out their business are interesting, but of course not in line with the optimistic articles which should govern your publication at all times.

Keokuk is one of the most interesting small towns in this country-Rupert Hughes, Howard Hughes, Conrad Nagel and Chief Keokuk. who was a SacFox Indian Chief, were all born there. Fifty-nine widows and 18 single girls in the town at last census.

I manage to keep the smell of sawdust in my nose here, with CaI Ida, Diamond National, Lausmann Moulding & Lbr. Co., Deer Creek Lbr. Co., all close at hand, but really miss all my old friends in and out of the lumber business very much.

I think Jack Dionne would be interested in the article by Raymond Dickey enclosed.

Jere Melo Wins Forestry Scholcrship

Jere L. Melo, 21-year-old senior in the University of California School of Forestry at Berkeley, has been named winner of the 1963 Charles Bunting Memorial Scholarship Dean Henry J. Vaux said today.

The 9200 award was announced in Redding by the Redding Forest Forum, which

sponsors the scholarship in memory of the late Charles Bunting, a forestry consultant.

Melo, born in Weed, now lives in Redding and was graduated from Shasta Union High School in 1959. He entered the School of Forestry at Berkeley after two years of pre-forestry study in the University of California College of Agriculture at Davis.

Dean Vaux said elig'ibiilty for the scholarship requires that the student be from the Redding Forest Forum area, be enrolled as a junior, senior, or graduate student in a forestry school accredited by t}re Society of American Foresters, be attaining excellent scholarship, a"nd be of good character and exhibiting strong leadership abilitv.

'The award, made last year to Stephen A. Kling of Redding, is designed to encourage and recognize scholastic attainment and leadership ability among forestry students. Its sponsor, the Fo,rum, is made up of business and professional men who deal with management and protection of the land and timber in the Redding' axea. Bunting, one of the early members and a graduate of the UC School of Forestry, was killed in an air"plane accident in 1961.

Strucfurql Engineers Elecf Oficers

The Structural Engineers Association of Southern California recently installed their 1963 officers: John J. Holstein, president; Cydnor M. Biddison, lst vice president; George W. Gray, 2nd vice president; and Bernard S. Harder. treasurer.

SEAOSC was formed in 1929 to advance the standards of structural engineering. At that time structural engineering was not a sharply defined profession. The design of the engineering features of a structure was performed in many instances by unqualified individuals. The earthquake history of California by then had dictated (San Francisco, 1906; Santa Barbara, 1925) that structures here be designed to resist horizontal forces and the Civil Engineers Act had yet to be enacted (May 15, 1929). The Long Beach earthquake of 1933 was yet to come.

In the 34 years since the organization of SEAOSC' its membership has grown from the 12 founding fathers to 853 members, and the laws of the state now require adequate engineering design to resist earthquake forces. The Field Act (1933) protects school building design and construction, and the Riley Act ( 1933 ) covers all structures in general.

Witnesses said fire spread through the yard Wednesday night "like a bomb." The yard was completely enveloped in flames when fire-fighting equipment arrived. The United yard had been a Tulare landmark since 1904.

A new, low-priced industrial radial saw introduced by Power Tools, Inc. called the "555 Special" and priced at $555. lt is being sold in redistribution channels, and is opening new markets among small building contractors, lumberyards, woodworking shops and maintenance and shipping departments.

Power Tools "555 Speciol" Sow Opens New Morkets

Plans to invade new markets for industrial radial saws were revealed by Power Tools Inc. with the unveiling of a low priced production model for small building contractors, lumberyards, woodworking shops and industrial maintenance and shipping departments.

?he new machine was described as an industry "first" and the lowest priced high-capacity radial saw ever marketed. It will sell

for $555, about $70 less than the cheapest radial saw previously available for production use.

Called the "555 Special," it will be sold through redistribution channels, under a sales policy of wholesale distribution to retail dealers of hardware and building supplies.

J. J. Topolinski, president of Chicago-based Power Tools, said he expects the new model will open up a $2.5 million market almost untouched by his company's competitors.

"We are 'breaking through the bottom' of the market to reach people who recognize the practicality of radial saws but have hesitated to pay the price for existing equipment of production quality," he said.

"Many small contractors, lumberyards and woodworking shop operators have tried to get by with radial saws designed for home shop use," Topolinski continued. "Useful as such equipment may be for the hobbyist, it doesn't have the capacity, power, cutting depth or stamina for real production.

"The '555 Special'was created to fill this gap by narrowing the price differential between amateur and professional radial saws."

The new machine incorporates the exclusive "Retracto-Glide" arm featured in the initial line of 10 radial saws which Power Tools introduced earlier this year for the construction and industrial markets. Instead of pivoting on the vertical support column, the arm moves on eight ball bearings through a pivoting supporting head.

This eliminates over-arm interference, provides more actual working area, permits easier visibility of layout marks, and reduces set-up time to 30 per cent, Topolinski said.

The new- radial saw has a 2-horsepower motor operating on single-phase current, 220 volts, 50 or 60 cycles. Maximum depth of cut with the standard l4-inch blade is 3% inches, rip capacity is 33 inches, and dado capacity is 1% inches.

The switch control is conveniently located on the machine's front apron. Other controls, including a depth adjusting handle beneath the forward edge of the table, are within easy reach.

Tapered pin locks on the cutting head automatically set it at all common 45- and 90-degree cutting angles.

"Distribution Division" is the new name of Georgia-Pacific's former Warehouse Division, according to Stewart White, vice president and division manager, who says the new name is more appropriate for the many new marketing concepts now being applied to the distribution of building products.

"The old plywood storage warehouse, as many of us knew it,

SPECIALIZING

During 1962 Georgia-Pacific added seven new distribution centers, bringing the total to 80, now covering most of the key marketing areas in the U. S.

"Distribution, merchandising and sales techniques are continu' ally undergoing study, change and improvement," White stated. "G-P is pioneering many new and unusual selling concepts for the 20,000 building materials dealers we now service in the industry."

The old warehouse concept, just a central storage depot, now has become a merchandisine distribution center under the G-P concept.

Included in free help now ofiered by G-P distribution centers to their retailers are trained salesmen who assist dealers in holding sales training meetings for retail personnel, assistance in P. O. P. merchandising, colorful promotion literature, newspaper mat services, radio and television commercials, special price tags, technical information and educational color films. White said dealers visit the G-P distribution center display rooms to examine the complete line of G-P products and dozens of related products by other manufacturers. Retailers can select point'of'sale materials and displays they want for their own use. They learn how to tie-in efiectively with G-P's national network color television and magazine advertising. 'ol-ast year Georgia-Pacific distributed over eight million pieces of colorful sales literature and most of it went through our retail dealers," White said.

Wilmars, Inc. of Son Jose to Liquidote

The owners of Wilmars, Inc., 1260 East Santa Clara Ave., Sarr Jose, have announced plans to liquidate the business by March 3I. Del and Carl Travis started the operation during 1947, but there had been a lumberyard on the same property for nearly 50 years. Carl Travis, one of the first dealers in the area to recognize and capitalize on the potential of the remodeling and do-it-yourself market, cited leasehold difficulties as the principal reason behind the liquidation. After winding up the financial affairs of the business, Carl and his dad plan to devote their time to developing some of their property south of town.
