RYAN l-Bt 8l FOR

Since L922 Balsam-Wool has been sold exclusively to retail lumber and building material dealers, through recognr,zed wholesale rs . I[e are not changing, nor do we contemplate changing, our distribution policy on Balsam-Wool blanket insulation, either by eliminating the wholesaler or by selling retail outlets other than the dealer.

This policy reflects our belief that the lumber and building materiaL dealer is the natural outl-et for the retail merchandising of building products; and we also believe that the wholesaler of building materials is in the best position to serve you, the dealer, for these reasons:

1. He provides fast service because he carries complete inventories, can filt out pool cars by taking naterial into his stock, and is located in your natural trading area.

His warehouse stocks incl-ude a wide variety of building products and building specialtiesand thus offer a ftone-stoptt service for many types of materials.

The wholesaler enables you to serve your customers with smaller inventories-he provides capital investment in inventory that reduces the amount of money you need for this purpose.

4. He provides quick, local credit.

2. 3.

letter to lumber dealers:

5. He serves as a stabilizing influence in the sound distribution of building materials.

6. The wholesaler has only one customer-the retai-I lumber dealer.

'1. He assists you through a sales organization geared to local service and counsel, which helps you keep your stocks balanced so as to give maximum service with a minimum investment.

8. The wholesaler, in the best interests of l-umber dealers, counsels with manufacturers on matters of product design, market development, cataloging, adjustments, and advertising and promotion of building products.

9. The savings in time, effort and money represented by the foregoing provide a service which justifies the wholesaler's part in the distribution of building materials, and which a dealer cannot duplicate at lower cost.

We feel this poli-cy is completely iustified by the steady growth of Balsam-Wool@ sales and the consistent contribution of this product over many years to Lumber dealersr sales and profits.

Very truly yours, WOOD

Planned storage as carried out in this closet makes excelIent use of practically all available space. Among the accessories seen performing their special duties are shoe racks. a twodrawer plastic storage unit, wire shelves, hat holders, a hangrail shelf and a hanger arm set for skirts.

wcLA, wPA JOIN TO PUBLISH COLORFUL WP MOULDING PATTERN CHART

A unique and colorful moulding pattern chart-featuring the WP series western moulding patternshas been published jointly by the Western Pine Association and the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and is now being distributed. The chart displays more than 200 standard moulding pro6les silhouetted in white against a blue background. Each of the mould- ing use categories is neatlv classified. Novel but useful feature of the chart is a "use description" for each moulding type, conceived to help mouldtng users.

All told, some 50O Wp moulding numbers are covered by the chart. Standard dimensions are included with many of the profiles, which are about two-thirds actual size. For full size patterns, ref€rence is made to the WP Series Moulding Book published by the two associations in 1957. The blue, black and white wall-hanger is quite a contrast to nost moulding pattern charts of the past. It is 24x37 inches in size and was designed to compete with colorful and expensive point-of-purchase merchandisine materials in lumberyard show rooms. It also will be useful in millwork and cabinet shops, in architect and contractor offices,

and wherever else moulding identification is important.

The Western Pine and West Coast associations represent two lumber industries whose joint moulding production makes up a majoi' part of the nation's volume. Since initiating efforts to standardize western moulding patterns two years ago, the WP series has been accepted throughout most of the industry. In one year alone, more than 40,000 WP Series Moulding Books were distributed to the nation's millwork trade.

Copies of the new mouldine pattern display chart may be obtained free of charge ,by writing to: Western Pine Association. 510 Yeon Building, Portland 4, Ore., or West Coast Lumbermen's Association, 1410 S.W, Morrison St., Portland 5, Ore.

HIGH-PRODUCTION MACHINE FOR PRE-FAB AND COMPONENT PARTS MANUFACTURERS

A new machine developed by IDACO will make home building easier and faster. It is designed primarily for cutting roof rafters but, because of its versatility and ease of setting up, it is being pressed into service for double-end trimming, truss cords, and many other component parts. This new tool will make four cuts at one pass. All saws can be adjusted fot straight

or angle cuts. The two bottom saws can use dado or notcher heads and can be adjusted for cutting material from 4' to 24" in length. Material 8" thick can be dou,ble-end trimmed. Four powered feed chains with chairs move the material in an endless flow past the saws, making this new tool a very high production machine. The speed of these feed chains is variable.

The California Lumber Merchant 108 West 6th Street Los Angeles 14, Calif.

Gentlemen:

May 6, 1959

We notice in your issue of May 1 the item about "Lien Law Bill in Committee."

Surely you are not referring to the lumber industry when you state this bill has almost unanimous industry backing. I cannot understand how its passage could possibly benefit lumber merchants or any other building material merchants.

We are enclosing photostat of a letter we received from the Building Material Dealers Assn. of San Jose and, on receipt of this, we sent the following telegram to all of the members of the California Senate : "Senate Bill 814, if passed, will practically destroy lien right of material men and subcontractors unless they do business direct with owner. This obviously unfair and means serious credit losses to material men and subcontractors. We hope, therefore, you will vote 'No'on this bill."

We have collected thousands of dollars over the years as a result of filing liens when we dealt with contractors or subcontractors and we feel sure that most other lumber merchants have done the same. A building material supplier has only 30 days after the notice of completion is filed to record his lien and, in many cases, we do not know that a notice of completion has been filed for two weeks or longer after this has occurred. We depend for this information on the filing of notices of completion in The Daily Pacific Builder, a newspaper published in San Francisco and, for example, we received a copy of that paper today and it lists notices of completion recorded as far back as April l+, 1959.

If this new Bill is passed we would be too late to notify the owner if we did business with the contractor or subcontractor. Furthermore, in many cases, we do not realize the necessity of filing a lien until two weeks or more after the notice of completion has been recorded.

We hope, undei the circumstances, that you will see your way clear to issue a revised article on this Bill so that the backers of it will not get the impression that the lumber merchants are in favor of it.

Yours truly,

Senate Bill 814 "The Notice Bill," was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee and has been forwarded to the Senate for approval or disapproval.

Last minute amendments were made at the hearing last Thursday:

1. "Unless one under contract with the contractor as owner" was changed to read, "unless one under contract with the owner."

(a) This means unless the subcontractor has a contract with the OWNER he must give notice or forfeit his lien rights.

(b) Unless the material man has a contract with the OWNER, he must give notice or forfeit lien rights.

(c) A contract with the contractor is not sufficient, the contract must be with the OWNER.

(d) On "spec" work you will not be able to accept this contractor's word for ownership. He may be absolutely honest about ownership ibut the property may be in the name of the title company. The property may be in the name of an affiliated corporation. To be sure, you must confirm title.

WottcoairfrHenlnrk, THE llu trll-PU RPOSE IUIU|BER

Nature is good to hemlock in the Pacific Northwest. Plentiful moisture and even temperatures produce a species of hemlock that is superior to hemlocks grown elsewhere, in its yield of high quality multi-purpose lumber.

The name "ability" wood has been applied to Weyerhaeuser 4-Square West Coast Hemlock because of its wide usability, wearability and workability. Weyerhaeuser takes this abundant "ability" wood and through scientific logging, accurate sawing, controlled kiln-seasoning, precision surfacing, proper grading, careful handling and shipping, produces a multitude of West Coast Hemlock lumber products.

Dealers who sell this plentiful "ability" wood have found it to be a highly profitable species.

A Yerserlile Full Line

Weyerhaeuser 4-Square West Coast Hemlock is ideal for framing, sheathing, and siding application. It is excellent for flooring because it actually toughens with age. Among the many popular specialty uses are: shelving, furniture, cabinets, paneling, and trim.

West Coast Hemlock is becoming increasingly popular as a finish lumber because it combines exceptional building values with outstanding beauty. It is stiff and strong, easy to work and holds nails securely. It has a beautiful light color which takes natural finishes well, and also has remarkable paint retention qualities.

Many lumber dealers are featuring this practical, dependable species because West Coast Hemlock ideally serves many uses. Ask your Weyerhaeuser District Representative about this fi.ne species when he next visits your Yard.

The lndiqn's Thrde Wishes

One of the great stories about Indians concerns the good chief who had so pleased the Spirits of the Red Men that one of them appeared to him and told him he could have three wishes, and whatsoever he wished for he would get.

YOU

So he pointed to the great sea on whose shore they stood 3rrd 5sifl-"All whiskey."

"You get it," said the Spirit.

Then the Chief pointed to a great mountain that seemed to reach the sky, and said-"All tobacco."

"You get it," said the Spirit.

"And now'you have one more wish," the Spirit reminded him.

The Indian scratched his head for a minute. "Oh, well," he said-"little more whiskey."

Edword J. Hines lumber Co. Sees Holr in Sqles Decline

Chicago, Ill.-A reversal, or at least a halt, in a 3-year downward trend in sales and earnings is forecast in 1959 for the Edward J. Hines Lumber Co. by President Charles M. Hines in a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal. The company, which cuts timber and processes it to finished building products for its midwest retail yards and others, reported sales in 1958 of $61,376,368 were down from $69,457,298 1n 1957.

A 7f-months strike beginning last June closed Hines' big Westfir, Ordgon, sawmill with an annual 40-million b.f. cutting capacity. To broaden its product line, Hines will soon introduce a new method of joining residential roof trusses which will be prefabbed at a Cl-ricago mill, using a simple metal fastening device.

"This year," Mr. Hines said, "everybody is anxious to start new homebuilding. Whenever we have a few nice days, builders will get out and push their foundation work. It wasn't that way last Spring."

Washington, D.C., April l4-Hearings on the first major, industry-wide investigation of the injury reportedly done domestic manufacturers by excessive imports to be conducted under the 1958 revision of the Escipe Clause of the Trade Agreements Act opened today before the United States Tariff Commission, it was announced by Robert N. llawes, general counsel of the Hardwood Plywood Institue, petitioners in the case.

Testimony supporting the domestic industry was presented to the Commission by senators and representatives from widespread sections of the country. Congressional witnesses included Senators Thurmond (D-S.C.) and Wiley (R-Wis.) and Representatives Blitch (D-Ga.), Byrnes (R-Wis.), Dorn (D-S.C.), Laird (R-Wis.), and Mack (R-Wash.).

"This is a test case for all American industries suffering from low-wage foreign competition," Hawes pointed out. "It will reveal whether the Escape Clause, as now written, offers a significant avenue of relief to a nation-wide industry group, such as the hardwood plywood industry."

The Institute, representing 48 American manufacturers, l-rad petitioned the Tariff Commission in January to establish a quota on hardwood plywood imports under the terms of the so-called Escape Clause. The Commission ordered an investigation of the problem which was the subject of today's hearing.

. A year-end report of the Forest Products Division, Business and Defense Services Administration. U.S. Deoartment of Commerce, was used to show the domestic industry's plight and predict that the downward trend in American production rvill continue through 1959, HPI disclosed.

The petition filed by HPI traced most of the industry's trouble to imports from Japan, whose share of the American market jumped lrom I.5,4o in 1951 to almost 40/o in 1958. Four-fifths of the hardwood plywood imported into the LTnited States comes from Japan, HPI noted. Imports from Japan alone equal 84/o oI total domestic output.

Total imports in 1958 exceeded 900 million square feet, about 117 million square feet more than American factoriei produced, the Institute reported. It said imports have gained 36/o since 1955, and I,157% since 1951, when Japan began its spectacular climb to become the world's biggest hardwood plywood producer and exporter.

nearly doubled since 1952, but the domestic industry's production has decreased, Attorney Hawes pointed out. American producers shipped 792 million square feet in 1958, continuing a decline that began in 1955 ; it was the industry's second worst year since 1951, Hawes observed.

The petition pointed out that profits realized by domestic manufacturers of hardwood plywood have also been hard hit by imports. In 1955, the average profits on sales before taxes for Institute members was 5.77/o.In 1956 this figure declined to 3.35/o in 1957 to 0.44/o; and in 1958 these manufacturers suffered a loss of l.29%o.

Japanese prices, reflecting that country's wage levels, were alleged to have forced cutbacks in imports from other countries. Canada's share of the American hardwood plywood market has dropped 50/o, and imports from countries other than Japan declined 44 million square feet from 1955 to 1957. thev claimed.

In 19'57 the average price per 1,000 square feet of Japanese

hardwood plywood was $65.13, HPI said, while the average price of imports from other countries was $110.39. By August 1958, other countries had slashed their average price to $6.76 per 1,000 square feet in efforts to meet TaDanese competition.

Fallacy of Figures Shown

Testifying before the United States Tariff Commission in the hearing instituted by the domestic hardwoo_d plyyqod industiy, Jack Davidson, executive vice-president -of Pacific Wood Products Co. of Los Angeles, said that whatever difficulties the domestic industry was undergoing, they were not caused by imports but by other factors within the United States.

He listed five domestic products which have greatly increased in use during the past few years:

(1) Hardboard consumption in-the United :3t::11; increased from 1951 to 1958 by some 800,000,000 rncreased trom ly5r to ryJ6 Dy 6t J,u\ J'( ^r square feet. This product is used largely for the same purposes as is plywood and by the same three indusiries, namely, the construction industry, the furniture industry and the mobile home industry.

(2) The Chipboard industry had a total production in 1956 of 83.000.000 square feet and in 1958 183,000,000 square feei, an incrdase of approximately 125/o. This pioduct is also replacing plywood in the same fields as hardboard.

(3) Mr. Davidson cited the recent growth of the so-called ' prefinishing business and pointed out that where faneling r.ias done on the job it cost considerable money,-but now when it is merely a question of installing a prefinished panel, this can be done at considerably less expense.

(4) Mr. Davidson said that a whole new industry had ' developed in the United States in the so-called pri-nr ing or^lithographing of hardwood-plywood .and.that this industry is supplyin1 80% of the needs of the mobile home industry for interior decorations.

(5) The fifth development which is affecting the domestic hardwood plywood industry is the great growth of the hardwood plvwood industry in the Pacific Northwest, which-was 417,000,000 square feet in 1958, which on a converted basis as far as Japanese imports of plywood are concerned, is more than the 1958 Japanese imports.

Mr. Davidson paid tribute to the Japanese plywood industrv and the Ta-panese Government for their efforts to put into effect a woikable export quota system. This system has been in effect since April 1 of this year and, Mr. Davidson believes, should solve many of the problems about r,vhich the domestic industry has been complaining.

Residentiql Building Hikes Construction Totqls to Peqk

New construction activity expanded seasonally in April and brought the total value of work put in place to rlew highs of $4,2 billion for the month, and $15.1 billion for the January-April period, according to preliminary estimates prepared jointly by the Departments of Labor ancl Commerce. This year's April figure \vas up 75o/o from 1958, and the total for the first four months was l3/o greater. Spending for new construction thus far in 1959 was at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $54.3 billion, compared with actual outlays of $49.0 billion for the entire year 1958.

Private expenditures for new construction in the January-April 1959 period reached a record $10.7 billion, mainly because of the 29/o advance in residential building (to $6.1 billion) over the early months of 1958.

Wood Informqtion Cenfer Esroblished

A "one-stop" information center has been organized by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association as an aid to those seeking specific editorial research material, photographs, background information and references on wood and lumber products.

The Wood Information Center hopes to be of help to many segments of the general public, architectural and building professions, communications media and any other group or individual interested in acquiring the most np-to-date, complete and accurate information available on the subject of wood and its many uses, benefits and contributions to our lives, homes, work and leisure.

The NLMA's Wood Information Center-which is headquartered in Washington, D.C.-has set up the facilities and staff to provide a full range of these services.

The broad scope of the WIC's activities has been made possible because of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association's coordinating role as the federated national organization for 17 of the country's top regional wood associations. Li addition to direct research aid, the WIC will also function as a centralized referral source to gather product information and materials from key regional groups and brandname manufacturers to meet editorial requests.

The Wood Information Center will als6 draw upon other non-affiliated associations and manufacturers whose products and services ally them with the lumber manufacturir.rg industry, to supplement its regular irrformation and material-gathering sources.

Aside from the service functions of the WIC, the center will also act as a creative generator of news stories, feature articles, photograph features and other factual information based on material teceived through the inter-change of ideas in the WIC. This creative function will er.rable \ rIC to aid editors, feature writers and newspaper men to initiate, research and write interesting authentic stories about the lumber and wood products industry. A continuing flow of news releases, article ideas and oustanding pictures from WIC will be sent to newspapers, magazines and trade publications.

There will be no charges made for the services provided by the WIC. Inquiries should be addressed to the "Wood Information Center," National Lumber Manufacturers Association, 1319lSth Street, NW., Washington 6, D.C.

Bosic Weokness of Communism

The basic weakness that will eventually destroy communism is lack of spiritualitylack of religion.

A great nation of atheists is an impossibility.

The basic principle of such a society must necessarily be selfishness, and from such a foundation no permanent structure can ever rise.

Such personal powers as Hitler and the recent Russian leaders are but incidents in the history of nations. But religion is the very life of great nations.

Man, at heart, is a creature that requires sentiment, and religion is the deepest, most ineradicable sentiment of the human heart. Strike out religion and you reduce a nation to the level of educated beasts.

An Editorial

Annul the power that draws a nation upward and it falls back to savagery. Where there is no Fatherhood of God, there can be no Brotherhood of Man.

The dictators may try as they will to erase religion from the human heart but the effort will finally be in vain, and the adoration of a Supreme Power will remain the divine perfume of the soul.

WEATHERPROOF PARTICLE BOARD PROVES IMPERVIOUSTO HUMIDITY IN ORANGE-PACKING PLANT

A new building rnaterial called Par-TEX has clrawn the plaudits of a California fruit 1>acker for its ability to withstand 88% humidity conditions in orange and lemon coloring rooms of a new packing plant. After extensive use of the new coloring rooms with almost constant exposure to high humidity conclitions, the Par-TEX walls and ceilings showed no swelling, buckling or any other bad effects.

"We are very pleased with our building and woul<l recommencl the use of Par-TEX to anyone building for an operation sinrilar to ours," said Harry C. Harding of Harding & Leggett, who said his firm used a considerable amount of Par-.TEX in building a new orange packing plant at Orange Cove, Calif., upon the recommendation of Architect David H. Horn of Fresno.

Par-TEX is an exterior particle board rnacle with 700/o waterproof phenolic glue. It's manufactured by Pacqua, Inc., of P.O. Box 78, Dillard, Ore.

About 55,000 square feet of Par-TEX was used on the job as siding and roof decking in fu" thickness. The manufacturer does not recommend fu" thickness for roof decking but in this case results were quite satisfactory. Galvanized nails were used to nail the Par-TEX to 4x4 studs on 16-inch centers throughout the building. About r,4" gap was left between the sheets, which come in standard 4x8 panels, to allow for expansion. Exterior walls were painted with two coats of outside paint. It was possible to use ParTEX Ior single-wall construction of this packing plant because of its great structural strength and dimensional stability. Par-TEX forms its own insulation; it's non-porous and resists swelling, shrinking, checking or scuffing.

Par-TEX is available in IRB Insect Repellent Board wl-rich gives permanent protection against insects and fungi when used as recommended.

Boys

There are many kinds of boys - Rollos and Tommies and Fauntleroys; Boys who are crude, and blunt, and rough; Boys who are made of sterner stuff Boys who try in their blundering way, A friendly, chivalrous thing to say And only succeed in stammering out Some words whose meaning is left in doubt.

Boys who are awkward, boys who are boldBoys who will never do as they're told; Boys who are bashful, boys who are shy, Who can't be at ease however they try .

Boys who are dull, boys who are bright, Boys who are always ready to fight; Boys with ambition and boys withoutBoys who bristle and boys who shout Boys who wheedle, boys who tease, Boys who wear out their trouser knees. Of all the boys, which one is best? Away ahead of all the rest?

'Tis not a matter lrte may discussHe's just the boy who belongs to us.

,How Mory Lost o Tip

The newly appointed high court judge was in one of the county seats of his district, holding court. He was a man well satisfied with himself. He engaged the Irish waitress in conversation during lunch. She said she had been in this country two years and she liked it only fairly well. No enthusiasm. So the judge tried to sell her a bill of goods on this country. Said she had many privileges here she would never have in Ireland. He said:

"For instance, in freland a waitress would never be chatting in friendly fashion with a high court judge, now would she?"

And Mary said: "But in Ireland, you'd niver be a high court judge."

Determinotion

When you speak of selling, remember the boy who applied for a certain job. The employer looked him over and asked, "Weren't you here asking for this same job a week ago ?"

"Yes, sir," said the boy, "but you said I wasn't old enough."

"Then why are you back again?" asked the man.

"Mister, I'm older no!r/r" said the boy.

He got the job.

Technicql

The teacher in a science class will never forget the following answer, written by a young lady in a quiz. One of the questions was "Define a bolt and nut, and explain the difference."

The girl wrote: "A bolt is a thing like a stick of hard metal such as iron, with a square bunch on one end, and a lot of scratching wound round the other end. A nut is similar to a bolt, only just the oppositebeing a hole in a chunk of iron, sawed off short with wrinkles round the outside of the hole."

The startled teacher blinked several times. and then marked it "A."

Rhymed Philosophy

I hate to be a kicker,

I always long for peace,

But the wheel that does the squeaking

Is the wheel that gets the grease.

It's nice to be a peaceful soul

And not too hard to please,

But the dog that does the scratching

Is the one that has the fleas.

I hate to be a kicker -

Means nothing in a show, But the kickers in the chorus

Are the ones that get the dough.

The art of softsoap-spreading

Is the thing that palls and stales, But the guy that swings the hammer

Is the one that drives the nails.

Let us not put any notions

That are harmful in your head, But the baby that keeps yelling

Is the baby that gets fed.

Northern Colifornio Lumber ftterchonts Stockpile

The Merchondising Ammunition qt lgth Annuql

Presidency of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California was bestowed on Frank Heard, Motroni-Heard Lumber Co., Woodland, California, during the closing hours of LMA's 19th annual convention, April 19-21. at the Ahwahnee hotel in beautiful Yosemite National Park. Dealer Heard accepted the presidency with enthusiasm and humility after first paying tribute to Outgoing President Hamilton Knott of Yosemite Lumber Co. in Fresno.

For his faithful and inspiring leadership of LMA during the past two years, Dealer Knott received a surprise gift of a miniature desk and chair set-a replica of a full-sized desk and leather chair set awaiting him back in Yosemite Lumber's new Fresno ofifrces.

Heard, who had served as vice-president under Knott for the past two years, then went on to introduce the man who will fill the association's number two spot, Madera Dealer Elmer Rau, head of Madera Lumber & Hardware. The association's venerable Ira E. Horton, of South City Lumber & Supply in South San Francisco, was again unanimously re-elected treasurer.

The 19th annual LMA convention officially got underway on Sunday, April 19, with a golf tournament at the Wawona Golf Course in Yosemite Park, with President "Ham" Knott and Charlie Dart of K-Y Lumber Co. running the tournament.

Winner of the coveted LMANC low gross trophy was "Shorty" Weaver of Paramino Lumber Co., who bested all efforts with his 26 scorecard. Last year's winner, Visalia Dealer Ray Noble, was unable to be on hand to defend his

Medco's Ed Nave nipped last year's low-net winner Ralph Lamon for possession of the LMANC low net trophy.

Following the tournament was the first of three industrysponsored cocktail parties, held from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. in the Ahwahnee's Indian Room. An informal dinner followed the get-acquainted party.

MONDAY _ APRIL 20

Monday morning dawned with clear blue skies and brilliant sunshine-made to order for the Lumbermen and Lumberladies Outdoor Breakfast, held in the beautiful setting of Firefall Meadows.

_ At 12 Noon, the Ahwahnee's huge main dining room was filled to capacity for the Invocation presented by Dr. James Woodruff,- ancl the President's Welcome bv ttamltton Knott.

_ Following lunch, LMA President Knott presented tl-re first of the -iwo afternoon speakers on the program-Frank

"You've got to change your habit patterns," Lovejoy warned. "Start selling lumber on the basis of its quality rather than its price. Merchandise respect for wood, the many uses for wood, excite the consumer about wood and, most important, don't lose your identity as a lumber dealer.

"Don't stock every item that comes along that competes with lumber. Lumber is where you dealers present have made your success," Lovejoy emphasized.

"The problem is not to produce goods in this country," he stated, "the problem is to sell them. The retail dealer has got to get out and sell. p1i_ting fo_r customers to come into your store is not enough," he declared.

"Put SING in your merchandising and, above all, remember that no sale is really complete until you have made the buyer a salesman for the thing which you've just sold him," the New York City executive concluded.

Dr. Orlo M. Brees followed Lovejoy to the platform. Dr. Brees, public relations director-Western Division for the National Association of Manufacturers. an association of businessmen and industrial concerns representing 85/. ol America's production and 7I/o of her employmJnt, spoke on "What is America?" Dr. Brees deplored the lack of responsibility on the part of the average voter-too complacent, too dependent on the government for his keep. As a result, government spending is today taking one clollar <lut of every three that Americans earn, he noted. The federal budget for the first tirne exceeded one billion dollars way back in the "war year" of 1917, he said. Since that time there lras been a monumental 7500% increase in govern- ment spending while our population has only increased a paltry (by comparison) 74/o.

Brees, a devoted anti-Socialist, urged the American

E. Lovejoy, an inspiring speaker and executive of Socony Mobil Oil Co. of New York City. Lovejoy, while admittedly an "outside" speaker, also had the advantage of being on the "outside-looking-in" when it came to analyzing the many merchandising and operating problems confronting today's retail lumber merchant.

"Put SING in your merchandising," he said, "MerchandiSING is spiritual as well as physical. It should tell your customer of the joy and contentment that comes to him with the ownership of the thing which you are trying to sell him. The lumber industry, like many another, has just come through a prosperous ag'e, an age which has also bred complacency in many quarters," Lovejoy stated. "During this period, too much of the SING has gone out of merchandising," he said.

PTAQUES in Appreciotion of mony yeors' service to LMA were presented to Outgoing Directors (1. ro r.) les ley (Santo Cruz Lumber), Henry Hulefi (North Boy lumber), Chorlie Shepord (Friend & Terry), Homilron Knott (Yosemite Lumber), Joe Kirk (Kirk lumber & Building l/lateriols), Art Post (Delono Building Moreriols), Frcncis Christionsen (Moderto tumber) ond J.

voter to "get down out of the granclstand and on the playing field while there's still time." Too many people are rushing to welfare agencies throughout the country at the slightest excuse. Too many people have come to consider government as a super-entity above the people, capable of SUPPORTING THEM-rather thar.r an irrstrument of the people which must be supported IIY THITN{, he saicl. I)rrring the rrext five years our work force will be increasecl by some 5,000,000 individuals, Dr. IJrees noted, rvhicl-r will necessitate a capital expenditure of some 25 billion clollars on tl.re part of private industry in order to create these jobs.

"There is no place in our econorny, if we are to rnaintain it as we now know it, for bigotry and prejudice," Dr. Brees said in conclusion. "The American Heritage of icleas grouped abont the central concept of the dignity of marr and tl.re worth of the individual, the ideas of equality, responsibility and freedom, can only find its fulfillmerrt when these ideas have become the commor-r possession of all men everywhere.

"For if it is true that all men are created eoual. that men are endowed by their Creator r,r,'ith certain inalienable rigl-rts, that governments are constituted an-ror.rg men to secure these rights, then those statements are true in Rrrssia, Hungary and Cl-rina, India and Egypt, as well as in the U.S.A. Not that we have either the right or the resporlsibility to FORCE acceptance of these ideas upou otl-rer peoples . but it is both our responsibility and our privilege to continue to furnish to the world, through our owlr devotior-r to these ideas, concrete examples of their productivity in happiness and well-beilrg when free men voluntarily associate themselves together in a society rvhere one is for all and all are for one !"

The afternoon session concluded, the Convention moved into the second of its industrv-sDonsored cocktail parties in the Ahr,r'ahnee's main lounge. Dinner, entertairrmeirt featuring the "Onetos," a special spectacular Firefall and dancing irr tl-re Inclian Room concluded the second convention day.

N\\rPP field rnen, such as Prestamou, are contacting architects, buiiders and school districts throttgl.rout the Couutry on tlre behalf of \A-OOD.

Altl-rough Prestamon was enthrlsiastic about results of the campaign thus far, he did note that in contacting architects and builders, Lumber did sulTer to its competition due to its complexity of grades and variety of speciis.

T1.re second speaker was llou'ard Neal, representing National Associates, Inc., LNfA's pensiorr consultauts, u'htr outlined various pension and profit-sharing plans available to LMA members. Each pension arrang'ement, he noted, is tailorecl to suit the neecls of each individual participatirrg comDanv.

The main reason for a pension-type program being the desire on the part of management to treat non-nnion employes eclually as u'ell as union employes, each firm uorv affiliated with LX,IA may, througll using NA's already established trust, enjoy considerable sar.ings r.ron-nally associated with "group buying," he sai<l. Neal noted that NA currently has 50,000 such programs in force. ancl that sonre 10,000 firms are initiating a N'Iaster Trust Pensiorr Progran.r each year. Xlost of these firms, he notecl, fall into the 4 to 50 employee classifi catiorr.

TUESDAY_APRIL 21

At 9:00 a.m. sharp, LMA dealer members, associate members and guests met in the Indiarl Room for a threehour discussion of lien laws, stop notices, bonds, pension plans, profit-sharing plans, promotion of the use of lumber and wood products and other topics of interest to all dealers alike.

The first speaker on the program was Dean Prestamon, West Coast representative for NLMA's National Wood Promotion Program which kicked off last September. Through the use of slides depicting ads which have appeared in consumer, architectural, building and school publications, Prestamon outlined the NWPP to date. In addition to the "Build Better with Wood" advertising program,

The last speaker on the morning program lvas Leo Hubbard, secretary of Hayward Lumber & Investment Co., Los Angeles. Mr. Hubbard, an acknowledged expert in the field of lien laws, extensively reviewed and brought the group up to date on the late changes in these laws. Hubbard also touched on the legal technicalities of usury laws, noting that while a direct loan may only carry a maximum of lo/o interest, any carrying charge may be added at tl-re

In discussing the lumber dealer profit picture, Blackstock noted that average net profits have slipped to only lfu/o of. gross sales . a figure which pretty much sums up why conventions and clinics such as the 19th LMA Annual are being regularly held throughout the nation.

In closing, Blackstock paid high tribute to LMANC as an association as a rvhole, and particularly to LMA Executive Vice-President lack Pomeroy and his assistant Ken Ruck, and urged a unified associaiion effort striving for increased membership and improved marketing patterns.

Three lumber Veterons Esfoblish Wholesqle Speciolry Yord in Gordenq

Freeman D. Campbell, for the past several years salesmanag'er of Western Mill & Lumber Co., Los Angeles, has joinecl forces with Ted Hoyt and Jim Dye to establish James M. Dye, Inc., Lumber Specialists, at 403 East Olive Street. Gardena. California.

The purpose of "Lumber Specialists" is to procure harclto-get items for the retail lumber dealers. At the one-auclone-half acre plant situated in the southside industrial clistrict, specialty items of mouldings, trim, batts, door stops, sills, etc., are produced in volume for the trade, it was said. The wholesale firm will also fumisl-r direct mill shipments {or volume delivery, or mixed-truck LCL from yard.

The three partners need no introduction to Southland lumber folks as all of them have been identified in the wood products industry in the Los Angeles area for many years. "We are interested in serving the retail lumber concerns only with quality items that are more or less hard to obtain," saicl Campbell.

Annuol €onvention in Duluth to Nqme 'Mrs. Infernotionql Hoo-Hoo'

A special feature of the annual convention of the International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo this vear. to be held in Duluth, Minn., Sept. 13-16, will be the seiection of a "Mrs. International IIoo-Hoo." The selection will be coupled with a "Mystery Day" program that should provide enough interest and enthusiasm to make this year's convention one of the largest in history.

These and other plans were announced at a meeting, April 10, called by Robert Stephany, general chairman of the-1959 convention, to his committee chairmen. Speaking to 97 members and their wives of the Head-of-Laftes and Range Hoo-Hoo Club at Cronstrom's Supper Club, Superior, Wis., Stephany said the lumber frateinal organization should cash in on the "Miss-This and Miss-That" contests always held by some group or other and name its own "queen."

"Why not pay homage to the girl who makes an association such as Hoo-Hoo successful-the wife of a Hoo-Hoo member?" Stephany asked. "Let's select a Mrs. Hoo-Hoo to reign over our convention, and by this token show that our wives are our most treasured possessions."

As the plan is tentatively set up, each Jurisdiction will be permitted to select its method of choosing its "Mrs." candidate. The nine candidates will then be presented on Monday noon, Sept. 14.

Glenn Ross, Junior Hoo-Hoo on the Supreme 9, Jurisdiction VIII, plans to have each club in that Jurisdiction bring

its candidate to a special contest meeting in Minneapolis where the "Mrs. VIII" candidate will be named. Another method mentioned would consist of having the club select its candidates and send photos and biographies to Supreme t headquarters for selection of the Jurisdiction candidate.

The "Mrs. Hoo-lfoo" will be named at the convention after the nine candidates have had ample. opportunity to campaign there. Stephany's current plan is to give one vote to each Hoo-Hoo member registered at the Duluth annual. Announcement of the winner would be made at the convention banquet-dance, Wednesday night, Sept. 16.

Preliminary plans for the "Mystery Day" include a bus tour of scenic Duluth and North Shore sites starting at 9 a.m. and ending in the early evening after a dayful of surprises. Everything will be free through courtesy of the host Head-of-Lakes and Range club.

Conslruction Contrqcts Up 23o/o for New Morch Record

Increasecl activity in housing boosted construction contracts in Xfarch in the United States (except Alaska) to $3,339,934,000, 23% above N{arch 1958 and a new record for the month, annollnces F. W. Dodge Corporation, construction nervs and marketing specialists.

FACIORY PRE.FIT

Dodge-vice president and economist, Dr. George Cline Smith, declared that housing, which accounted for almost half the total of March contracts, has been the major source of strength in the construction industry so far in 1959.

"Single family houses sparked the increase in N{arch, rising 49/o above a year ago. Apartment units, which shor'l'ed strength throughout 1958, also registered a sl-rarp gain in Nfarch," stated Dr. Smith.

"The number of du'elling units covered by the residential contracts totaled 122,327, 44/o above Nfarch 1958," he added. Dollar volume of residential contracts in the United States in March amounted to $1,540,722,000, up 44o/o over the like 1958 month.

NEW COMMERCIAL STANDAR,D UP.DATES REGTUIREMENTS FOR HAR,DWOOD VENEERED DOORS

A new commercial standard for hardwood veneered doors, embodying revisions recommended by the National Woodwork Manufacturers Association, has been promulgated by the Commodity Standards Division of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The new Standard, CS l7l-58, consolidates and up-dates requirements for hardwood veneered hollow-core and solid-core flush doors. the styles used extensively today in homes and many other typei of buildings. Formerly these requirements were covered in separate standards CS 200-55 and CS l7l-50, respectively.

Also included in the new standard are harclwoocl veneered doors of the panel and sash styles as well as those rvith plastic and with hardboard faces.

The standard, which is now effective, covers grades, construction designs, sizes, tolerances, inspection, methocls of test, labeling, nomenclature and definitions.

"In setting up these basic requirements," said Ormie C. I,ance, NWMA manag'er, "the standard affords producers, distributors, architects, builders and the general public a reliable quality guide for hardwood veneeied doors. It reIates the specifications to a new NWMA grade marketing system for the various kinds of doors."

The NWMA acts as licensing agent for the gracle labeling system. Under this arrangement, use of the system is not restricted to NWMA members. It is expected to be adopted by non-member companies accepting tl-re standarcl.

The standard designates three grades for hbllow-core and solid-core flush doors with wood faces. Thev are Premium. Good and Sound. Hollow-core doors formerly were classifi9d ,qs Premium, Good and Paint in the supersedecl CS 200-55. The old standard l7l-50 for solid-core flush doors called for only two grades, 1 and 1P.

In the new requirements hardwood veneered doors are grouped into two categories. A Type I door must be able to pass a severe waterproof test. It also must withstarrd full rveather exposure, provided the exterior face and the top ancl bottom of the door have been finished with two or more coats of paint or varnish before exposure. A Type II door must be water-resistant, that is its bond must retain practically all of its strength when subjected occasionally to tl-rorough wetting and drying.

Three thicknesses are specified for interior cloors-l /s, ls/s and lfi inches. Thickness requirements of Isl and 2r/a inches are set up for exterior doors, with the additional specification that solid-core flush doors and panel and sash doors are the only ones to which the 2fu inihes applies. A height and width tolerance of l/16 inch is allowed, unless otherwise specified, for doors other than those ordered prefit.

Prefit doors must be 3/16 inch less ir.r width and rf inch less in height than the nominal door size, with a plus or minus tolerance oL l/16 inch allowed. Vertical edges of such doors must be slightly eased. These doors musi have skid blocks, scuff strips or other protection attached to the bottoms.

Among other provisions in the standard are these:

-Doors must be constructed of thoroughly seasone<l kiln dr.ied wood, the moisture content of which shall be from 6 to 12/o.

-They must be clean and smoothly sanded so as to be ready for finishing without further surfacing except for removal of handling marks or effects of exposure to moisture.

-A squareness tolerance ol tA inch is allowed, that is, a diffelence of /s inch in the length of the two diagonals on the face of a door.

-With certain stated exceptions, the warp or twist tolerance for doors, under normal service conditions, is I inch. Where the surface areas of one face of a door is less than 10 square feet, the tolerance is only ft inch.

-The limitation on warp or twist tolerances, however, cloes not apply to: (a) doors lfi inches or more thick which are wider than 3l Ieet or higher than 8 feet; (b) l% inch and lft inch thick doors which are wider than 3 feet or higher than 7 feet; (c) cloors with

face veneers of different species; (d) doors that are improperly hung or that do not swing freely.

-Flush doors may be cut for light openings as specified. The utility or structural strength of a door must not be impaired in cutting for lights, louvers, panels and any other special details.

-Doors shall be mortised for locks and cut for hinges when so specified. Unless otherwise ordered, the location of the lock centerline and hinge cuts will be in accordance with each manufacturer's regular practice.

The standard points out that in addition to fulfilling basic requirements, grade marked doors must meet various detailed specifications.

Face veneers of Premium grade doors, for example, must be tight and smoothly cut. When a face consists of more than one piece, the pieces must be matched at the joints for color and grain. A few burls, mineral streaks and ilight discolorations are permitted. Not allowed, however, ire knots, wormholes, splits, shake and torn grain.

Face veneers of Good grade doors also must be made up of tight. smoothly cut venler. If composed of more tharr one piece, a face must be matched at the joints to avert sharp contrasts in color and grain.

In Sound grade doors the face veneers may contain any defects that will not be visible after appliiation of twb coats of paint.

The performance test for Type I doors calls for specimens to be boiled in water for four hours. dried 20 houis at temperatures of 140 to 150 degrees F., then boiled again for four hours and cooled in water. With Type II doorE specimens are submerged in water at room temperature for-four hours and allowed to dry at 70 to 80 degrees F., lor 20 \o_urs. Specimens must withstand an average of 10 cycles of this test.

Copies of the new standard, Lance said, can be obtainecl at 20 cents each from the NWMA office, 332 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago 4, Ill., or from the Superintendent of Doluments, Washington, D.C.

based with Federal financial assistance in the form of a $26,23+ "demonstration" grant approved in October 1956. The demonstration program, authorized by the Housing Act of 1954, provides Federal grants of up to two-thirds of the costs of projects designed to help commuuities irr cleveloping, testir.rg, and reporting methods ar.rd techniques for urban renewal. Local funds make up the remaincler of the costs.

Tl.re Sacramento project-tenth in the nation to be completed under tl.re program-produced a feasible plan for relocating and rehousing some 5,000 unattached men who live in the 24-b1ock "labor market area" of a slum section destined for redevelopment. Most of these men are past n-ricldle age, and many have physical handicaps. Their employment is mainly casual. Median income in 1957 was $t]62.

Features of the relocation plan include an initial development with housing ancl facilities for 1,000 men, with adjacent land under option to permit expansion as displacement from tl.re redevelopment area continues: Drovision of space for welfare servic-es ; relocation of employment services to the new area; space for leisure and recreational activities.

It is anticipated by both Sacramento and the Urban Renen'al Administration that the recently completed study will be of practical application not only in the Californii city but in certain other American communities.

A limited number of copies of the demonstration report are available. Requests should be addressed to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Sacramento, 1006 Fourth St., Sacramento 14, Calif.

BUIIDING COSTS UP ONE PER,CENT IN PASI SIX N,TONTHS

Although construction costs advanced only one percent in the past six months, probably due to cold weather and the off-season character of the market, costs are expected to be 4/o higher by next April.

_Commenting upon the construction-costs rises, Myron L. Matthews, manager-editor of the 1959 edition of -the revised_Dow Building Cost Calculator, an F. W. Dodge Corporation service, said, "The prewar $7500 house which costs $19,200_ today, will probably carry a price tag about $768 higher by April 1960.

"The 1941 building dollar is now worth 39 cents. Thus the buyer must put up 92.56 to do the work g1 did before. Twelve months from now the buyer will have to increase the amount to $2.66," added Mr. Matthews.

"The same increases apply to non-residential buildings, such as offrces, schools and hospitals, but we should nlot

Freighr-Rcrte Differenfiqls Restored

San Francisco.-At the request of the Lumber Merchants Assn. of Northern California, the railroads have restored freight-rate differentials between various points as they existed prior to the rate decrease that went into effect Dec. 26, 1958. In about 45 days from Mav l. it was reported..the historical differentials will go into eftect in : Points south of Fresno to (but not including) Bakersfield; Salinas, Monterey and Santa Cruz spread from the San Jose rate; the Marirr County spread from the San Francisco rate. Will be effective in about 90 days.

forget that 'construction packages' are more complete than those produced 18 years ago," Mr. Matthews stated.

Of the two major components of constructi (materials and labor at the site of constructio maior construction measured (materials construction), labor has again exhibited the greater strength. In the 6 months ending April 1, building material prices to builders have not changed in 93 of 143 major reporting cities and their environs. Slight decreases are reported in 12 other places, and in 38 places prices are a little higher.

In contrast, labor costs have risen in 79 places and remained unchanged in 64 places for the half year just past.

Combining material prices and base hourly wage rates for all places, costs have gone up in 66 of the cities, remained static in 74, and dropped slightly in three. "These observations do not hold uniformly true in each of the costsampling cities, but represent the way the averages happen to work out. Nationally, overall cost increases since 1941 range from 126/o to 216/o for an average of 156/o," Mr. 1\4atthews revealed.

Home Show in New Sports Areno

The 1959 Los Angeles Home Show will be held July 16 through 26 tn the new Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, the first major show in the rrltra moclern Arena, now rapidly nearing completion.

The Coliseum C6mmission granted the dates, tl-re first for the new building, after the contractor, L. E. Dixon, reported the Arena would be ready nearly three months ahead of schedule.

Final approval of the dates now depencls only on a clear-

ance from the Building and Safety Department.

Nlanaging Director Carl F. Kraatz promisecl that the 1959 Home Show would outdo all previous shows because of the greatly expanded facilities of the new Arena.

Equally elated was Lumber Dealer Frode B. Kilstofte, chairman of the Coliseum Commission. who said the dates were g'ranted because the Commission believed the Home Show would add to the beauty of the Arena.

Dwelling Units Construction for March

Western light construction caught onto a jet stream in Marclr for a rapid acceleration in its upward spiral. Building permits totaled over a half-billion dollars, with the $508,257,186 total showing a strong lead over February's $374,098,187 and March l95E totals of $392,821,846.

Dwelling unit permits also showecl a strong rise, with a $300 million posting compared to $185 million in March 1958. Survey totals of 393 identical reporting agencies for total permits and 365 for dwelling permits show the following: total permits up from 48,618 in March 1958 to 66,584; dwelling permits up from 18,166 in March 1958 to 28,578.

March ,building totals were particularly strong in Arizona, which more than doubled its 1958 report of $15 million, and Montana, which tripled its 1958 report. California continues its major Western market status with $356,921,550 representing 7l/o of. the total. Of this, $217,452,534 represents dwelling units. California dwelling construction was up 62/o over the softened 1958 market. States leading in percentage increase in dwelling construction include Arizona, California, Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, O'regon and Washington.

Los Angeles is the big gun among March's 25 leading construction areas, with $67 million in new construction. Figures from the leading cities are shown below, and totals shown include cities not listed:
