Dynomic Progrom Plqnned for Twelfth Nqtioncrl Meeting' Forest Products R.eseqrch Society, Mqdison, Wisconsin' June 22-27

More than 80 papers on modern forest products technology will be featured at the 12th national {reeting of the Forest Products Research Society, June-22-27, at Madison, Wis.. expected to attract over 700 persons from the Unitecl States, ianada, atrd overseas.

A major convention highlight will be the keynote session, r'vhich has as its theme, "Insurance for the futurethrough forest products tesearch." V. L. Harper,Ass'tChief, U.S. Forest Service, will discuss the role of federal research in the nation's rapidly expanding economy and the resulting increased demancl for wood.

Dr. E. C. Jahn, second keynoter, Ass't. Dean, o{ New

York State University, College of Forestry, will stress the importance of a strong program of research in institutions of higher learning and to relate this to the lack of adequately trained physicists, engineers and chemists to lay the grouncl rvork for development research in tl-re wood industry. The industry viewpoint on research will be discussed by the director of research and development for the Weyerl-raeuser Timber Co., the world's largest lumber and allied forest products company.

Igor Sikorsky will speak on "Current and Future Developments in Helicopters" during the session devoted to Helicopters in Logging.

George H. Roderick, Asst. Sec. of the Army, and a. veteran of 31 years of executive and production experience in the rvood products industry, will address the official luncheon, June 24, belore an estimated attendance of 500 persons.

An authority on furnitttre and packaging of defense materials, Mr. Roderick is expected to discuss the importance of wood and forest products in the nation's defense.

In the past, Mr. Roderick has praised the herculean job accomplished by forest products research generally, and the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory in particular, during World War II. At that time nearly half of our annual lumber production, some 17 billion board feet, went into packaging and crating for the Armed Services. Wartime applied research made it possible to send in four ships by 1945 what it had taken five ships in 1941-a saving of one-fifth of our cargo fleet.

The more than 80 technical papers at the Society's weeklong meetirrg rvill be presented at 16 separate sessions that will deal rvith diverse problems of fundamental as well as applied research and development. Of interest will be a paper discussing the preservative treatment of millwork with particular attention given to windows arrd doors. A rer.ien' of the developments in the field will be covered-developments that arose in part due to the threat offered by tire metal inclustries who began active promotiorl in the field in 1933.

With the number growing annually, it is conservatively estimated that nearly 100 million sash and windows, 44 million exterior frames and 6 million exterior doors have been preservative-treated.

Mobile radio communication, a newcomer to the forest, will be discussed in relation to large logging and fire-fighting operations that have r.reeds parallel to those originated in World War II rnilitary tlsages.

Can a bet'.,':^ home be bt'irt usirrg today's lumber materials? John ,-eno, Utilizati')it Director, Pacific Lumber Co., will answer in the affrrmative at the national meeting.

Harry D. Tiemann, intertrationally known seascining specialist and dean of t'ood drying in tl.re Unitecl States, will preserlt the Charles J. \\'illiams Memorial Seasoning Leciure on the subject, "Highlights in the Developn-rent of Kiln Drying."

"In-rDrove vour methods and reduce manufacturing costs" tr of one of the papers in the Quality Control TetO DevelOpS sesslon.

The use of sawdust compost for fertilizer rgill be discussed by several authorities on the subject at this year's meeting.

Wood markets can be preserved by up-grading process- ing methods and finished products, according to C. H. Hotrman, development engineer, Koppers Co., a participant in the technical program.

W. Jeter Eason, Nickey Bros, fnc., will present a paper on a finish that can be applied in clear form over natural wood, or may take the form of a print where artistical graining or other effects may be applied over wood, hardboard, and so forth. He will discuss results of comparison tests with other finishes with special emphasis on resistance to staining.

A method of loading 30 M board feet of lumber into a car in one-and-a-half hours, and a way to unload it in two, will. be describe4 by a Weyerhaeuser materials handling engineer at the Lumber and Sawmilling session

The logging helicopter is envisioned-as a sort of flying crane, with horizontal frame, a set of blades, multiple engine, and an operator's cabin. A distinguished group of Lelicopter authorities including Igor L Sikorsky witt -;oin Carl Agar in this discussion.

Seveial sessions during the FPRS national meeting will be-of special interest for technologists of the pulp and paper industries.

- During the Glues and Gluing session, representatives from Rayonier, fnc., will speak on "Thermosetting Adhesives from Bark Extracts.'i

-These topics are a small cross-section presenting a glimpse of the technical program that can be expecteii at the Forest Products Researcli Societv's 12th national meeting at Madison, 'Wisconsin, June 22-27.

,Ank-R-COpt

fn response to the need for a simple and inexpensive way to firmly connect wood posts to beams or concrete, Timber Engineering Co. of California, Inc., has developed the TecoCal "Ank-R-C"p." This new post anchor and post cap is manufactured in two popular -sizes4" 216 6"-' *hich'fits most connections. Formed from 16 gage galvanized steel, the new connector has a dependable resistance to uplift and is said to be adequate for all directions of loads.

Ank-R-Cap has special appeal to the architect and engineer because it can be completely concealed by ordinary means, leaving a neat finish to the exposed post-beam. Teco-Cal's new connector has been designed for easy stock- ing by dealers, and so it is readily available in ail trade areas. Because it is manufactured with high speed tooling, it is well below the cost of so-called "han-d-mide" devicei. _ Completejnformation and technical data may be obtained by writing Timber Engineering Co. of California, Inc., 1485 Bayshore Blvd., San Francisco.
