New Olson Corgoliner

Oliver J. Olson & Co., pioneer lumber shipping firm, stepped up its West Coast-Hawaii service in April with the addition of the new million-dollar cargoliner barge John C. Olson and a tighter schedule that ofiers one sailing to Honolulu every 14 days.

The new welded steel 9000-deadweight-ton vessel has seven underdeck cargo holds with 30,0ffi cubic feet capacity, is equipped with air-tight all steel folding hatch covers and is mounted with two l00-ton cranes. The "no ribs" smooth-walled construction of its underdeck holds is considered a protective advantage against damage to plywood shipments.

The John C. Olson is the second major vessel launched by Olson in recent months. The Oliver J. Olson III, a high-capacity combination lumber carrier and oil tanker, was put into the firm's coastwise service last December.

The announcement of improved Hawaiian service was made by E. Whitney Olson, president, who added: o'In March alone, our lumber bookings to the Islands exceed the entire first quarter of last year. And 1964 was substantially ahead of 1963. We look for an increase of well over 50 percent in 1965."

Redwood and Douglas fir have been heaviest in cargo volume. A modest but steady volume in mouldings has been going in containers. Striking recent increases were attributed, in part, to a favorable tariff and lower minimums.

The John C. Olson has a total capacity of six million board feet and will rotate with the Olson cargoliners Forest and, Fl,orence in service to and from Hawaii.

Olson's April schedule for calls at lumber ports includetl Eureka, Crescent City, Coos Bay, Newport and Longview.

L.A. Times Feqtures Wood

"A garden pavilion built of wood" was the cover and feature story in the April l8th issue of the Los Angeles Times Home Magazine, with a circulation of over 1,100,000.

The thirteen-page story, prepared by the Times in cooperation with the Wood Information Bureau, was originally planned as a garden pavilion built of aluminum and steel.

"When we learned of the project," said Jim Cooper, whooe advertising agency of Cooper, Davis & Co. handles the WIB account, o'we immediately went to work to get the structure built of wood, and within 20 days the pavilion, built ol unod, was completed. This kind of publicity, which focuses attention upon wood and wood products, is necessary to influence people to think more and more about the value and beauty of wood in con. struction," he concluded.

Among future publicity plans of WIB are articles on the use of wood in school construction, commercial construction, and outstanding uses of wood in inilividual homes and in tract homes.
