Plyron, new hqrdboqrd surlcced ply ol non-wcrping quclity smooth surlcce tor pcinting, wog used lor this lOloot kitchen in red cnd yellow colors showa cacinst n<rturql birch wclls' unit doors and upper cabinets and shelves. Douglas fir ply\vood of varying weights made ceiling high space-saving N{r. & Mrs. wardrobes follorving Douglas Fir Plyrvood Association's shelf-door wardrobe plans. Plum shadow exterior and pink shadow interior gave it the decorator touch.

A neu' plywood, given public showing for the first time, was the Western Cooperage vertigrain, a three-qtlarter inch rvestern hemlock finished ply with tenderized core and balanced construction for beauty and non-tvarping qualities. This made wall length bedroom storage unit incorporating modular units with vanity (concealed) and spacesaving sliding doors for closets or room separation. These units rvere given a natural finish accenting the vertical hemlock grain.

Small furniture pieces, painted dull laquer black and geranium, shorved the application of the ne'iv handy-panel plyrvood sho'ivn in rack for retail mer'chandising.

To shorv the infinite variety that can be achieved rvith a single u':oocl, B redwood panels rvere shorvn in as many finishes, including both smooth and textured surfaces. Six Douglas fir plyu.oods, three rotary and three vertical grain, told a similar story. In addition a variety of plys, both hardwood and softwood finishes, were shor,vn in small sample size finished in dye-type wood stains rvhich color bttt do not cover wood grain, retaining the true beautv of the n'ood.

First day interest and technical questions about the materials, their application, use and possible finishes, ran so high that the Hostess l{ouse called in representatives fron.r exhibiting firms to tell the story of their own products for the remainder of the week.

I-eading forest industries manufacturers of the area participated with examples of tl-reir products or provided materials through their trade associations.

Wood is male up principally of cellulose, lignin, hemicelluloses and soluble materials, including tannins, dyes, resins, essential oils, fats, nitrogenous organic compounds, organic acids and their salts.
