Ozork Politics

A stranger had mysteriously appeared and taken up his abode in a small cabin away back in the Ozarks. He made no friends with anyone. Naturally, he soon became one of the chief topics of conversation along the mountainside. On Saturday night, when a bunch of the old he-coons of the district gathered around the stove in the corner grocery in town, they naturally took up this new mystery.

"I'll tell you what I think," said one of them, spitting a thin stream of tobacco juice at the cuspidor; "I think he's a hoss thief and we bqtter look out for our stock."

A second disagreed: "I think he's kilt somebody back where he come from an' he's hidin' out."

A third said: "f'm afeared he's a revenooer and come here to spy on us."

But a fourth chimed in: "I'll tell youall somethin'. I ben checkin'up on him since he come and, in mah opinion, he's a REPUBLICAN."

They all cried at once: "Aw, he cain't be that bad."

"I ain't so sure about that," said the last speaker. "The gol-durned varmint kin READ."

Even Arizono Deqlers Surprised qt Attendonce They Drow to Rewqrding 26th Annuol in Tucson

It appears that the Association will continue to set records in attendance. In Tucson this year, 406 were registered and 379 were seated at the closing banquet. T?ris is way above last year's record, which was 285.

At 1:30 p.m. on April 28 in the Tur- ,quoise Room, the convention was called to order by President Henry Galbraith, who introduced Dr. Hayden Sears of the Catalina Methodist Church in Tucson. who opened the session with appropriate prayer.

William Wisdom, a member of the Tucson City Council, was then introduced and, on behalf of Mayor Don Hummel, who was detained, extended to the membership of the Association a hearty welcome to Tucson and told them of the many advantages of his city and of their interest in our endeavors.

Pete Pollock, vice-president from Clifton, Arizona, made the response and pointed out that an enjoyable program had been designed for the Tucson convention and that also a considerable amount of serious business was scheduled.

The president then appointed the following committees:

Although these conditions have been known to be unprofltable for many years, he felt that that we as a group have prob-' ably been spending too much time worry- ing about the so-and-so competitor down the street rather than wondering if we are making a fair return on our investment. As a result of aU this, we have had an astounding number of failures during the last few years. In summing up his remarks, President Galbraith urged that dealers make up their minds to ignore unprofltable elements.

The president next introduced Earl Cox, president of the Lumber Merchandisers Association, who brought with him to the head table the following L.M.A. directors: Allen Thum, Larry Hamman, Larry Griffith, Howard Beals, Harold Britt, and Walt Iloward, secretary of the association.

Director Charlie Ray was absent and Larry Griffith reported for both Mr. Ray and himself. He stated that L.M.A. was originally organized in 1952 for the purpose of promoting the use of forest products. However, during the years 1952 through 1958, the treatment of lumber with urea seemed to take up most of the time. It was not until 1959 that the real program was initiated and the functions of the original prog:ram were undertaken under the guidance of the new Secretary, Walt Howard. Inasmuch as the activities in support of L.M.A. have been almost exclusively within the area of Phoenix, the report obviously had to cover the activities in this area.

(A) Promotlon. The 85 architects and 52 structural engineers in this area have been called on on numerous occasions and provided with technical assistance and information with which to establish libraries on wood. After all, the architects and eng'ineers are the men who originate and ask for the use of wood products. Arizona State University, Phoenix College, and the public schools have likewise been furnished with this type of information.

(B) Publlc Relations. As a member of the Construction Specifications Institute and other similar g'roups, contact with architects, engineers and educators is maintained.

(C) Liatson. Liaison is continually carried on with such groups as F.HA, City and County Building Departments, structural engineers' societies, and others.

(D) Membershlp Asslstance. Members are kept informed on products data, code changes (both county and city), FHA de-

velopments so that they can adjust their programs accordingly.

Larry Hamman then reported that, as a result of this type of work, during the last year the demand for lumber has obviously increased. He felt that now that real accomplishments have been shown in this area that this service should be developed for all parts of the state, particularly in those areas where architects. structural eng:ineers work and where the universities and colleges exist. He stated that even the smallest communities will beneflt because generally the plans and specifications for any building will be drawn up by architects and engineers in these other areas.

He felt that it would be economically sound and would increase the service of the association if the two g:roups were merged and the services extended throughout the entire state. He said that possibly there could be steering committees, like the one that now exists in Phoenix, set up for Tucson, Flagstaff and any other area which may want it.

Harold Britt, the treasurer of the organization, reported that LMA was solvent and that in studying the finances of the association and that of LMA. it was felt that the merger would call for an annual budget of close to 940,000, whereas the association has been operating on a budget of around $24,000. If an across-the-board increase in association dues were to be made it would come to an increase of approximately 6O/o.

At the conclusion of this report by LMA, President Galbraith stated that he felt that this was a matter which should have serious consideration and that it must be realized that the competition we are faced

with today in many cases is financed by a ten-cent-per-hour levy against employers for each hour worked by his employes and that many of our other competitors have stafis of two, three, or four men promoting their individual products on a full-time basis.

, After some discussion, an informal straw vote indicated that the group was unanimously in favor of the proposal in principle, but that details would have to be worked out.

President Galbraith then advised those present that the Arizona dealer Association had for the last year been wrestling with the matter of lower fire-insurance rates for lumber yards, but that, in spite of our efforts thus far, nothing has been accomplished, He also stated that this was recogarized as one of our most serious problems.

He said, too, that while dealers generally are anxious to place their business in their own communities, it was felt that no relief from fire-insurance rates can be obtained in the state of Arizona as long as tlre Fire Rating Bureau maintains its control over insurance agencies.

In the reg:istration packets handed out, every dealer was invited to consult with representatives of the U, S. Epperson ltnderwriting Company-Lumbermens' Underwriting Alliance. This is one concern who feel they have a solution to our problem and our dealers were urged to study the information given them and meet with their representatives during the convention.

He then introduced John White, vice-

introduced Ewing Colvin of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association. Mr. Colvin followed up on the fllm "Better Homes in Jig Time," which was presented on Thursday. He ,stated that his association was particularly interested in this progTam of components and had much data available for dealers, particularly in the field of cabins. The cabin plans,.he said, can be had along with material lists at a very small cost to the dealer.

Harry D. Ashley, Pacific Building Products Division of Masonite Corporation, in San Francisco, California, was next introduced and he presented to the group the NRLDA Sales Maker tr'ilm, which described in detail the program by which dealers may caxry on sales programs in their own yards with the tools being furnished by hakers of building materials.

These splenditt films are professionally made and are gone over by committees of lumbermen before they are released to the dealers. Last year U, S. Gypsum came out with Seminar No. 1, "People Are Customers," and on this program the Masonite Corporation presented Seminar No. 2, .,Selling the Whole Package."

fire presentation made by Mr. Ashley and the film itself were splendid. It is hoped that individual dealers who wish to improve their sales potential will avail themselvis of this program.

Eidward H. Libbey, secretary of National Retail Lumber Dealers Association since 1942, was then introduced. Mr. Libbey has 'done a wonderful job for the National organization, as well as going out of his way in many cases to help Arizona dealers .in their particular problems. He gave a very trne talk on "What Your National Association Means To You."

He described first and outlined some of the program to be put on at the National Exposition in San Francisco, November 13 to 16, and told of the clinics related to dealer problems which will be held.

He also told something ol the more than 800 exhibltors who wlll be tlispfagng their products in the west for tho ffrst tlme.

Among other things, he pointed out that there would be a wood sehoolhouse built of components on exhibition and that the general public, as well a,s the dealers, would be allowed to see it.

Next he pointed out to the membership some of the contacts that our industry needs in Washington. Not only is the National constantly wgtching and alert to National leg'islation (he paid tribute to the Arizona members on this committee who have done such a splendid job), but also

contacts with FTIA, the Treasury Department, Bureau of Internal Revenue, Commerce Department, the Census Bureau, Small Business Bureau, the War Department, and other ag:encies who award contracts in our various states; also the Labor Department, Wage and House Division.

AII of thoee are constantly belng contacted anrl word is belng sent out to the a,ffliateil assoclatlons on changes which are pertinent to the doalers.

Through the Dealer Operating Guide, the National Association has done a splendid job in furnishing factual information to the dealers on products. Through the Labor Letters, they have been informed on the latest developments under the GriffithLandrum Act. At the National level there are committees working with manufacturers, and carriers are developing new programs of material handling.

IIo potnted out pertlcularly that Arlzona had pa,ved tho way ln gettlng a r€ductlon ln frelght rates anrd that thts progx&m has now spread natlon-wlde and he made m€ntlon of the fact that itray O'Malley ls trho chalrman of this commlttee.

In closing, he stated that while this was his first trip to Arizona, he hoped he would be able to come back another time, as he was thoroughly enjoying his contacts with the Arizona dealers.

The president then introduced Clark A. Johnson, Western district sales manager, Building Products Department of Kaiser Aluminum Chemical Corporation, in Oakland, California. Mr. Johnson announced that the third Seminar produced by his

Seminar No. 3, "Going Out After Business," was then presented. At the conclusion of the film, Mr. Johnson stated that lt was his understanding that other companies were now producing three more seminars so that any dealer wishing to set up a prog?am of education for his employes is now assured of continuity.

President Galbraitl then gave the dealers a short resume of the activities of our own association in the field of labor and reminded them that the better part of five months of last year was devoted to labor. He also advised tllem of the legislative program which clarifled the sales-tax matter regarding speculative builders.

He stated that ho felt that lf this legfulatlon had not passed, the contlngent ta.x ltablltty on dealers would be closo to half a million dollars as of right now.

He also reported that our Buyer's Guide will be of the press shortly after May 1 and that it had grown nine pages this year over last year. He stated that it now totals 31 pages with 36 individual ads, and that within the next year or two the Guide should double in size and prove of increasing' value to suppliers.

He also thanked Merritt Ilarris of Mallco, Jack Sulliva^n of Midway and Oracle Road Lumber Companies, and Knox Corbett of Corbett Lumber Companies in downtown Tucson and on Speedway for their excellent cooperation on getting additional advertisers in the Buyer's Guide.

The President then called on Walt Howard to show a five-minute film developed by our own Senator Barry Gold-

water in which he g'ave in detail the danger of the secondary boycott.

Next on the program was Joe Ralston of the flrm of Ryley, Carlock & Ralston, who advised that the Bar Association was circulating petitions to have placed on the ballot a constitutional amendment which would revise our entire judicial system.

He stated that there has been no revision since the Constitution was adopted in 1912 and that our courts are now as much as two years behind in civil cases and that if they are appealed to the Supreme Court, you should live so long'.

He stated that there would be some 13 or 14 petitions circulated for various causes and purposes, but that only members of the legal profession would be circulating this measure revising the'judicial system, and he asked the dealers for their support.

The President then called for reports from the various committees. The Nominating committee recommended the belowlisted officers and directors for the year:

Approval of the present code, and a request that in the event a satisfactory NIRA is re-enacted into law tlat a new code be adopted on June 16 when the present recovery act expires. Tlre convention went on record as oppos- ing a 3O-hour week or any rigid limitations of hours.

Arizona Retail Lumber & Builders Supply Association.

Also

Secretary will prepare all necessary resolutions of Thanks and Appreciation.

On a motion by Tom Wood and seconded by BiU Bell, all resolutions were unanimously adopted.

Jay O'Malley was then called on to give further information on tlre San Francisco convention, as he is one of the co-chairmen. Ife circulated a little questionnaire asking how many would be going from Arizona and urged that our group all make reservations at the Jack Tarr hotel.

Mr. O'Malley also urged that the Arizona Association challenge the Inter-Mountai{r group and advise them that percentage-wise we will have a larger attendance at the San Francisco Elxposition than will their group.

At the beginning of the Saturday, April 30, session, Ace Mason, chairman of the Time and Place committee, reported that the 1961 convention will be held in Yuma, Arizona, around April 15.

The president then introduced Louis Matz, West Coast district manager of the Celotex Corporation, Los Ang.eles, Califor-

Ago

ber business. Carl Bimson, F inancial Relations Director for the Arizona I'HA, also talked on the Federal housing program. Percy Merithew, E. K. Wood Lumber Co., Los Angeles, discussed the strike situation in the F ir industry of the Northwest and its effects on the lumber market.

nia, who presented a movie "Today's Homes -A Special Report." This is the type of a movie which could be used by any dealer at a luncheon club, P.T.A. meeting, church gathering, or any other similar meeting to show folks the value of and to encourage them in home ownership. It is also the type of movie which could be run as a public service feature on a local TV network with dealer tie-in before and after. This is a good advertising media and emphasizes the fact that tlte interested party should see his lumber dealer.

President Galbraith next introduced S. S. Britt, fieH.{Cbordinator, Distributive education, Uiriirer3ity of Arizona, Tucson, and let it be known that he was no relation to Harold Britt. Mr. Britt gave a very downto-earth report on the possibilities of establishing in every community in Arizona night courses for management and employes to better themselves in any field in which they might be interested.

These courses are tgilored to meet the demandg of the retail trade and can emphasize such things as salesmanship, bookkeeping, inventory cont-rol, credits, or any other subject which would improve the knowledge of the worker.

Mr. Britt in turn introduced Eugene L. Door, Supervisor distributive education, Department of Vocational Education, phoenix. Arizona, who stated that this program, although it is some 20 years old, is almost new in Arizona, but that during the past year considerable headway had been made among various types of retail trades. Classes are held in the evenings in already established school building's. Courses which may be anSnvhere from six to ten sessions in duration are held in high schools or wherever this type of facility is available and the cost is held to a minimum.

fire above has been a summary of the business sessions which, after all, is the real purpose of a convention. However, everything wasn't just work.

Elvery morning at El Rio Golf Course. 'golf was played. On Saturday this was extended by holding the Hoo-Hoo golf tournament.

The golf committee consisted of William C. Bell, chairman, Harold Britt, Aram Mardian, Marvin Smith and Howard Beals and they did a good job in ramrodding these tournaments to a successful conclu' sion.

The winner of the Good Sportsmanship prize given by Keystone Steel & Wire is Marc Schwarz of Schwarz Lumber Company in Miami, Lrizona.

All other winners received substantial merchandise prizes.

On Friday at noon, t}te ladies had a most delightful luncheon and it was reported that the "Spring Fashions" show given by Joanne's of Tucson and her two lovely daughters was really outstanding. Every morning'in the hostess room the ladies had rolls and cofree and played bridge and canasta.

I understand some of them even made a side trip to Nogales.

Our thanks to the ladies' committee. which consisted of Jane Hermes and Joan Wood, co-chairmen, Doty Douglas, Frances Beal, Ruth Holmes, Betty Bell, Hazel Sullivan and Pat Corbett.

At 7:00 on Friday night a chuck-wagon

dinner was served by the pool; 286 were in attendance and the food was marveious. Afterwards, those who were not working with a committee on assigrrments joined in the dancing'and general get-together.

On Saturday morning, Suite 267 was crowded with men and women who were getting a pickup at the Union Gypsum Company's Gin-l.izz party hosted by Tom Tietz.

At 4:39 p.m. on Saturday, Hoo-Hoo held its annual Concat, at which 13 new kittens were initiated and four old cats were reinstated.

X'rank See, district deputy for the state of Arizona, was in charge, with E. M. Fender, Nell C. Nasby and L. P. Ilermes from the Tucson club; Ray Lopp and Bob Horr from the Northern Arizona club; and Roy Harper, Iloward Beals, Larry Grifrth and Ara,m Mardian of the Phoenix club as members of the Initiating team.

At 6:00 around the pool, the annual cocktail party, given through the courtesy of the Arizona Portland Cement Company with Milt Whitley, Hank Stanton, Hal Hoag and Mort Mansur as hosts. was voted the best ever and, at 8:00, the annual banquet had to be moved into the lobby of the El Conquistador because 379 people made the dining haU a little crowded.

Jack Sullivan of Midway Lumber Company in Tucson acted as master of ceremonies and called on Billie Bell, chairman of the Golf committee, to make presentations,

He also introduced the newly elected officers and directors and called on Jay O'Malley to make a presentation to outgoing President Henry Galbraith for out-

The Friclay program was the annual business session flr WIC menrbers, starting with luncheon at noon in the Sunset room. Elmer Vivian was the Program chairman.

Like the fingers of a giant hand, rivers of forest products flow from tho mills of the Pacific Northwest to the d.ealers and distributors of the nation. And like the norves in skillful fingers, Oregon-Pacific supplies direction to these rivers of lumber and plywood, guiding then unerringly-and on time--to the pJ.aces where they are most wanted. This takes aggressive thinking and planning, the most modern communicatibns, and an organization doninated by the resolve to provide unexcelled service. This is what Oregon-Pacific offers to lumber dealers in California !

Even though a Greyhound bus full of Black Bart Club cats apparently went "astray"'en route to the annual Joint Meeting with the Sacramento and the Redwood Empire Clubs, the annual three-club meeting still drew nearly 80 members from Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club 109 and Redwood Empire Hoo-Hoo Club 65 to the meeting again held at Dick's Place in Fairfield, April 8.

Sacramento Prexy Ed Kensinger and Henry Stonebraker of the Redwood Empire Club noted that the enthusiasm shown for the three-club meeting will mean a repeat performance next year, and it was hoped that the Black Bart Hoo-Hoo would get their bus repaired in time for next years meetlng.

The meeting, as usual, started off with complimentary relaxers at 6:39 p.m., thanks to Lumber Dealers Materials Co., Noah Adams Lumber Co., Marinland Lumber Co., and the Vacaville Lumber Co.

Vacaville Lumber's Torr' Zaztivy. incidentally. was in charge of the details of the meeting, including the-enviable job of arranging for the entertainment in the person of Sue Quick, local guitar-singer specialist.

Honored guest at the banquet was Supreme Custocatian Harvey Koll of Los Angeles, who paid tribute to C. D. LeMaster, father of "National Forest Products Week," and Jack S. Berry of Sacramento, the man who made "the 'Week" a reality and the man who is currently running the campaign.

THE RAPID GROWTH of Godless Communism has provided religion-loving people much opportunity for discussing the probability of Godless governments becoming permanent.

Devout believers in the Bible and its teachings definitely doubt that Godless governments can long prevail. For a most eloquent and convincing opinion on that subject, we might go back to an argument made in 1886 by Chauncey Depew, who was a nationally known business man and wit. He was likewise a fine philosopher as the quoting of his words will demonstrate.

At that time Mr. Depew debated this very subject, with a well known historian and philosopher of that period. After his opponent had concluded his remarks, Mr.'Depew spoke, in part, as follows:

"I am a practical business man, overvvhelmed with the cares of business. It is exceedingly difficult for me to get on the plane of philosophical thought. I am a practical man. I believe in the Old Testament and the New Testament.

BY JACK DIONNE

"It. was the atheism of France which taught license instead of liberty and led to the French Revolution. Where are those old philosophers and philosophies now? They are dead, while Christianity survives. The school of atheism led to despair.

"They tell us that there is no Creator, only a cosmic dust. Who made the dust? There is only protoplasm. Indeed, who made the protoplasm? They tell us of evolution from monkey to man; but all the scientists have never found the missing link.

"The simple gospel of the Son of a Carpenter, preached by twelve fishermen, has survived the centuries and outlives all other philosophies. There is no liberty that lasts in this world, and there is no government which has liberty in it which lasts, that does not recognize the Bible."

Thus spoke Chauncey Depew. And he said it well.

Jefferson was rich and to the manor born, while Patrick Henry was poor, married the daughter of an inn keeper, and tended bar in his father-in-law's inn. But they were great souls, and after their fiddling brought them together, they remained friends through life; one a faming orator, the other a matchless statesman. *

It is related in history that when Jefferson's beautiful home at Shadwell burned to the ground, his faithful colored servants were able to make just one rescuing trip into the burning building, and what do you think they brought out? Jefferson's violin. He lost the finest library in Virginia, but he saved his fiddle. His servants knew what he loved best.

WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE, the "sage of Emporia," once remarked that this nation is waiting for "another humble, kindly, gentle leader like Abe Lincoln." This nation has produced a lot of mighty fine men since Lincoln's time, but measuring up to Lincoln is something that has not been and probably never will be *accomplished.

When the British historian, H. G. Wells, was asked to name the greatest men in all history, he named just six; and one of them was Abraham Lincoln. No other such man as Lincoln is likely to come along. The bow of Ulysses remains unbent. **tc

Which brings to mind one of the famous Lincoln stories. After he married Mary Todd, someone asked him if his wife came from a good family? Abe said: "The best. The Todds spell their name with two D's; there is only one D in God."

N.R,.L.D.A. OPPOSES EXTENSION OF THE WAGE.HOUR, tAW TO R,ETAIL BUITDING M'\TERIALS OUTTETS

In testimony before the Labor Standards Subcommittee of the llouse Education and Labor Committee, a representative of the National Retail Lumber Dealer Association strongly opposed any extension of the existing Federal Wage-Hour Law to building materials dealers who are now exempt.

Speaking on the Roosevelt Bill (H.R. 4488), Boyd Mahin, labor consultant for NRLDA on legislative matters, told the Sub-committee that the proposed legislation would bring practically all retail lumber dealers under federal wage-hour control even though their business is purely local in nature. Such coverage, he explained, would seriously impair retail service to the detriment of the public and the industry.

The NRLDA statement showed clearly that the retail lumber industry was not a low-wage industry, pointing out that average hourly earnings by employes was about $1.90 per hour-an average of $80.00 per week. Such earnings, Mr. Mahin said, are higher than in many manufacturing industries.

The principal points made in the NRLDA testimony are these :

1. Extension of the Wage-Hour Law to retailing is an unjustifiable invasion of local affairs by the federal government, and goes far beyond the regulation of Interstate Commerce.

2. The pending bill would bring nearly all retail lumber dealers under the law. The proponents contend that they only want large retail firms to be covered under the Wage- Hour Law (those doing over $500,000 or $750,000 annually). However, there are other provisions in the bill which would bring thousands of smaller retail lumber dealers under the law.

Hove You Been Counted?

There were 34,867 retail lumber yards and building materials dealers in the U. S. in 1958, an increase of L6/o over the 30,1?7 in 1954, according to CensUs Bureau figures just released, and reported by The Lumber lJetter of the National Lumber Manufacturers Assn. Retail sales of all building materials in 1958 totaled $7 billion, or 70Vo higher than the 1954 figure. Some 2L2,456 employes were listed by the dealers, while payrolls in 1958 amounted to 9835 million.

(a) Enterprises having sales to customers engaged in mining, manufacturing, transportation, commercial or communications business amounting to $50,000 annually.

(b) An enterprise doing $50,000 of business where one or more employes are engaged in commerce (such as receiving and handling shipments from outside the state).

(Enterprise means a total operation-not just one yard if more than one is owned by the same company.)

3. To place local retail lumber dealers under a 4O-hour r,r'eek with time-and-a-half for overtime would be completely unrealistic because lumber yards must adjust their hours to contractors, farmers and others in the community. Also, most retail lumber yards find it necessary to remain open on Saturday to accommodate their customers. Even labor unions have traditionally recognized that a 4O-hour week with overtime pay after 40 hours is impractical in this industry. Most union contracts with retail yards are lor 44,48 or more hours a week.

Mr. Harvey E. West, Sr., of the Placerville (Calif.) Lumber Co. is a lumberman like many another who does his good works in quiet, without the bright glare of publicity. But one of his many benefactions came to light recently when he was recog'nized by Bishop Joseph T. McGucken of the Sacramento diocese for his contribution to the erection of the Saint Theresa's Catholic church in Al Tahoe at Lake Tahoe. At Lumberman West's modest request, the plaque awarded him by the Bishop was just preiented to him informally by the Rev. John Grace, pastor of the new church, who reported that Mr. West had contributed lumber to the establishment of the church and made later contributions when the new church was built.

Groding Rules Estoblished for Redwood Studs

'l

Grading rules for redwood studs have been established by the California Redwood Association. Ralph Talvola, chief inspector for the CRA's Redwood Inspection Service, antrounced \Lay 17 that two new redwood stud grades have been adopted. This makes the first time that stud manufacturers will be able to mark redwood studs with redwood names and redwood grade marks, he said.

Prior to the establishment of the new redwood stud grades, redwood studs had been graded according to standards selected by local ordinances, or according to standarcls for redwood yard grades.

Two Star Redwood Studs is the designation for the top grade. This grade is expected to be the standard redwood stud for use in any class of construction.

Since the specifications state only the minimum qualifications, Talvola said, many individual pieces are certain to be of higher quality.

One Star Redwood Studs are serviceable studs of a somewhat lower quality than Two Star, although many pieces will be alrnost equal to the higher grade. In structures that require Two Star Studs for certain load-bearing walls, One Star Studs may be permitted for use in non-bearing walls, and for blocking and cripples.

Individuals mills that qualify under the newly-established RIS stud rules may receive permission to grade-mark redwood studs with their mill identification under a special grade-marking agreement with the Redwood Inspection Servrce.

Standard redwood 2x4's.will continue to be manufactured under the yard grades of Clear All Heart, A-Grade, Select Heart, Construction F{eart, Sap Common and Merchantable redwood, and under the Special Purpose Grade of Economy Redwood. Many of these may also be used as studs.

Specifications for the new stud grades, furnished by Louis L. Ehling, Agencies Supervisor, are:

REDWOOD STUDS

333. Size: This specification shall be applied only to redwood which has nominal dimensions ol 2 inches by 3 inches and 2 inches bv 4 inches. and which does not exceed 10 feet in length. Dressed widths and thicknesses shall be ft inch less than the corresponding nominal widths and thicknesses.

334. Two Star Redwood Studs are suitable for use in any class of construction. The grade permits:

Sapwood and,f or stain not limited

Short splits (equal in length to width of piece)

Seasoning checks

335. One Star Redwood Studs are serviceable studs of a'somewhat lower quality than Two Star. Many pieces will be almost equal to the next higher grade and are not included therein simply because of one or more disqualifying limitations. In structures that require Two Star studs for certain load bearing walls, One Star studs may be permitted for use in non-bearing walls and for blocking and cripples. This grade permits:

Union Lumber Co. to Acquire Pocific Coqst Co. Holdings in lAendocino County, June I

Union Lumber Company has arranged for the purchase from the Pacific Coast Company of all of its timber holdings and plants in Mendocino County, California. The purchase as presently agreed upon is subject to ratification by the stockholders of the Pacific Coast Company. The properties involved include approximately 35,000 acres of timberland, a green veneer plant at Leggett, a sawmill and remanufacturing plant at Willits, and a sawmill at Wolf Creek, logging equipment, and inventories. The Wolf Creek mill is not now operating and Union Lumber Company has no plans to reopen it. The Pacific Coast Company's plywood plant at Sonoma, California, is not included in the purchase and will continue to be operated by the Pacific Coast Company.

This timberland acquisition by Union Lumber Company is in furtherance of a program long in existence to bring all of its forestlands under a sustained-yield program. The Pacific Coast Company timberland lies adjacent to and on the north and east sides of Union's holdihgs known as the Usal Tract. It is Union Lumber Company's plan to continue the logging, the operation of the veneer plant and the sawmill and remanufacturing plant, on substantially the Dresent schedules.

-

One of Union's objectives will be to correlate the production of the acquired plants with that of Union's Fort Bragg olant. This will result in imoroved utilization of raw maierials, better quality and a'wider range of products and better service for the customers of both companies. It is expected that production and employment will be maintained at present levels and on as nearly a year-round basis as practicable.

Union Lumber Company will not take over the management of the properties until the transaction is closed. The

SCPI Executive Worns lndustry Agoinst "single Building Code"

Washington, D.C.-Attempts by either private industry gro.ups or the federal government to establish a single building code for the whole United States will weaken the advance of code modernization in this country, Douglas Whitlock, board chairman of the Structural Clay Products I_nstitute, warned the April building code meeting here. Certain seg,ments of the building industry, as well is government officials, have at times advocated a single national building code as the answer to the many code problems which face the nation, he said,

Whitlock pointed to the great progress which is being made in the four major organizations now sponsoring model building codes. They are the Building Officials Conference of America, the National Board of Fire Underwriters, the International Conference of Building Officials and the Southern Building Code Congress.

"The establishment of a single building code would surely result in a compulsion which would weaken or even destroy the vital, competitive climate which has brought improvement and strength to these four major model building codes," he warned. The last ten years have seen a steady increase in the adoption of one or another of these model codes in a large number of cities with a resulting reduction of obsolescence and multiplicity, he added.

The four sponsoring groups strive continually to improve their codes. Three of them annually hold public hearings on proposed code changes and put them to a democratic vote by their members. All of them carefully consider proposals from industry and others {or changes in existing regulations, Whitlock explained.

"What we need is not another code, but wider use made of these excellent existing ones," he added.

"There is still a great deal to be done in the code field before we have a satisfactorv situation everywhere in the

Fqllout Shelrer Construcfion To Get Nqtionwide DemonstTsfion

To inaugurate a nationwide program for public demonstration of fallout shelter construction, an actual basement family shelter and the prerequisite equipment was on display until May 29 at the National Housing Center in Washington, D.C. The brick structure was erected by the Structural Clay Products Institute in coopdration with the National Assn. of Home Builders, the Ofrce of Civil and Defense Mobilization, the Bricklayers, Masons and Plasterers International Union, and the Housing and Home F inance Agency.

The shelter is desigrred and furnished for daily use as a recreation room, guest room, TV room or den to show how a basement shelter can be incorporated into the lived-in areas of a home. A fallout shelter of this type is estimated to cost between $500 ad 9700. OCDM recommends that shelters be equipped in a manner that would be conducive to mental as well as physical comfort to sustain living periods of up to two weeks.

Under the program, the SCPI will coordinate and aid home shows and other local organizations to place fallout shelters on display throughout the U. S. The plan calls for the donation or loan of construction materials but, in most cases, labor to construct the shelter demonstration units will be supplied at no cost by local unions. The units will be equipped and the displays manned by state and local defense organizations.

Earlier this year, the F ederal Housing Administration took steps to make the cost of an OCDM-approved basement shelter an eligible item in determining property value for the purpose of mortgage insurance.

interested in the welfare of

Such organizations as chambers of commerce, civic, business, professional organizations and other community groups should use their voices and efforts to establish modern local code cbnditions which will mean healthy and progressive cities, he emphasized.

One of the most pressing needs in the code field today is for enabling legislation on the state level which would allow municipalities to use "adoption by reference," he pointed out.

"Adoption by reference" means that a community can avoid the often prohibitive expense of publishing in full in newspapers a proposed new code and then holding long, sometimes costly hearings in connection with it, as is usually required.

Instead, "adoption by .reference" laws allow the city to adopt an existing model building code without an involved, expensive effort. Changes and amendments in these codes are made under the same local laws governing the enactment of ordinances. Today, about 25/o of the states have "adoption by reference" legislation which has made possible up-to-date codes for many communities which formerly had inadequate codes or none at all, he said.

Whitlock spoke at a meeting at the National Housing Center here sponsored by the American Institute of Architects, the Associated General Contractors of America, the National Association of Home Builders and the National Society of Professional Engineers.

|$3,OOO Haul by Cloverdqle Burglors

Cloverdale, Calif.-Expert safe burglars broke into the office of the Dickinssn Taumber Co., here, April 6, and got away with more than $3,000 in cash. Sheriff's officers immediately s_tarted checking lists of known suspects recently paroled to Sonoma county from state prison.

The burglarly was discovered by Albert I. Lawlis, the yard's night watchman, when he reported for duty at midnight. The thieves had apparently done the job with one strong sledgehammer blow and a punch, knocking off the combination dial and tumbler of the safe. They then hid the debris and closed the safe door to make it looi normal.

The loot included two 9100 bills which employees had been saving to stage a party at the yard at 27420 Redwood Highway South.

Diomond Notionol Opens'Home Building Center' in Redding, Cqlif.

The California Retail division of Diamond National Corporation recently held a grand opening at the company's new Redding retail lumber and building materials store at 1155 Court Street.

The Redding store, newest in the SO-store chain of the California Retail division, is appropriately called the "Home Building C-enter," where the latest in display and selfservice facilities make home building or modernization easy for the housewife, the contractor, the home builder and the "do-it-yourself " handyman.

In the Home Building Center there is 4,000-sq. ft. of sales store featuring builders hardware, power tools, appliances, kitchen cabinets, garden supplies and Diamond's own brand of top quality paint, a complete line of "Diamond National Paint."

l!N's new Redding Retail Lumber and Building Materials Store lumber, building boards, mouldings, doors, insulation, roofing materials, and Diamond's "Charm Paneling"-a prefinished, pre-decorated wood paneling for home, office or store.

The sales counters and offices are attractively finished in Diamond's "Charm Paneling."

In addition, there is 1600-sq. ft. of covered patio for seasonal outside displays.

The old Diamond Match Company entered business in Redding in 1919 by purchasing the retail lumberyard at 1503 Tehama St. from the Turtle Bay Lumber Co., continuing in that location until the recent completion of the new store at 1155 Court St.

The staff of the Redding retail store includes Lee McGee, manager; Wally Jacobs, assistant manager; John Mook, store sales manager; Salesmen James (Pete) Allen, Terry Shelby and Jim Prashek; Lois Rhodes, office manager, and Deon Silkwood, bookkeeper-receptionist.

Visiting hours for the two April days of the Open House at the modernized store were 8:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m. on Friday, and 8:00 a.m.-5 :00 p.m. on Saturday.

So-Cal Building tlatedals Company Gives Deahrs 'Built-in Profit' ldea

Nineteen Southern California lumber dealers received a new idea about effective advertising when So-Cal Building Materials Company. in Los Angeles helped them put together an inexpensive, effective spring-summer sales and profit making "package."

Working with its own advertising agency, Gerth, Brown, Clark & Elkus of Los Angeles, So-Cal's sales management and representatives turned missionary. During personal calls on lumber dealers, So-Cal men invited participation in sponsoring production of complete campaign materials designed to-

l. Help the dealers capitalize on the tremendous national advertising carried on by manufacturers of "fix-it-yourself" materials.

2. Give the manufacturers an opportunity they welcomed to cooperatively sponsor local dealer promotional activity at the point of purchase.

3. Give the dealers individualized, exclusive, name-imprinted sales-vertisi.g at a fraction of the cost any merchant would expect to pay for the material.

One reason the new campaign caught fire was So-Cal's broad approach. Promotional material was provided for seasonal, profitable merchandise whether or not So-Cal distributed it. Furthermore, most of the material contained valuable "service material" for the consumer in the form of practical hints for using merchandise sold by the dealer.

The basic kit was prepared around the theme "Pound a Nail-Make a Buck." Included in the "Fix-It" promotion package were-

"Dad's Fix-It Times"-specially prepared &pa$e tabloid newspaper with dealer's imprint, Theme banner in Dayglo, 3 easel-type display cards featuring specific merchandise,

the staff of the U. S. servance of its Golden Forest Products Anniversary. The Laboratory in obfederal institution,

rha unit of the Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, was founded l-rere June 4, I9lO, in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin.

In announcing the program for the three-day observance, Director Edward G. Locke commented that virtually all the forest products industries, as well as education, science, and government, would be represented by speakers or particioants in other events.

Slressing the theme, "Forest Products Research-the Next Fifty Years," four top industry executives will examine the significance of research to the lumber, plywood, pulp and paper, and chemical industries in one of the high- light events on the program.

Dr. C. A. Elvehjem, University president, will deliver a major address, "Research in Today's World." He will be followed on the rostrum by the four industry leaders, each of whom will describe how research has been applied to his field.

F. K. Weyerhaeuser, board chairman of the Weyerhaeuser Co., rvill represent the lumber industry. H. E. lMhitaker, board chairman of the Mead Corp., Dayton, Ohio, and president of the American Paper and Pulp Association, will speak for the paper industry. The plywood industry will be represented by W. E. Difford, managing director of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, and-the chemical industry by Samuel W. Lenher, vice-president and adviser for research of E. I. duPont de Nemours and Co., Wilmington, Del.

Friends of the Laboratory gathering in Madison for the occasion will help launch the Golden Anniversary party with a banquet Thursday night, June 2, in the University's Memorial Union, preceded by registration of visitors.

_ George A. Garratt, dean of Yale University's School of Forestry at New llaven, Conn., will be binquet toastmaster. Madison Mayor Ivan A. Nestingen will welcome banquet guests to the city, and Richard E. McArdle, Washington, D.C., Chief of the Forest Service, will speak on the role of research in forest management.

Friday afternoon's program, Director Locke said, will consist of Laboratory tours for guests and special dedication ceremonies highlighting various research achievements that have gained industrial prominence.

^ The program will be concluded with an all-day public Open House Saturday, June 4, at which exhibits and demonstrations will also be on view.

Build 'n Sqve Lumber Supermod Opened in lqkewood, Moy l3

Build 'n Save, a complete home-improvemeut center called the first of its kind in Southern California by The Long Beach Press-Telegram, held a grand opening, Friday, May 13, at its 3rl-acre location on the southwest corner of Carson street and Paramount boulevard in the Lakewood section. Robert E. Marks, general manager and executive vice-president, said the store will offer 30,000 feet of home-improvement displays under one roof along with a complete drive-in lumberyard.

Completely locally owned, the firm was capitalized through local stockholders. The offrcers are Harold W. Hodges, president, one of the former owners of Iowa Pork Shops; Mr. Marks, who was general manager of a Long Beach lumber firm for many years; Howard Whittaker, secretarv : Richard H. Hawkes. vice-president. and Tess Grundyj i..".rr....

Set for a supermarket type of operation for lumber, building miterials and home-improvement services, Build 'n Save officials told the newspaper it had made many carload purchases before the opening and would be geared to volume sales which will permit continual carload pnrchases to obtain the lowest possible prices.

Most of the big display area will offer self-service shopping but there will be building counseling available for special "package" sales for remodeling, room additions and other major projects, Bob Marks said.

"We will help the homeowner repair, remodel and improve his present home, or we will build their dream home for them. We will merchandise lumber, plywood, fences, paint, floor tile, hardware, gadgets and tools, and we will advise on designs and make arrangements for loans. We will sell the materials or the complete package for one room or an entire house," declared the general manager.

The new store had advertised in The California Lumber Merchant, prior to its opening last month, for salespeople clerks in rvholesale lots, and it also joined the Southern California Retail Lumber Assn. The operation will be

Of course, it is only too true that the cost of everything we buy has gone up. But it is fair to remember that there have been many commendable improvements to atone for some of the advances.

We used to go to the grocery store and buy our butter out of open tubs, our meat out of unprotected boxes, and most of our other eatables were at the mercy of dust, dirt and insects. Today the quality of goods has improved, their variety has broadened, and eatables reach the consumer wonderfully fresher, cleaner and more eatable than in the old days.

While the costs have increased tremendously, it is true that our standards of living have done likewise. Now we

Western Pine's New Froming-Lumber Grodes Published

A new. Il2-page supplement to the 1960 standard Western Pine lumber-grading book is announced by the I2-state Western Pine Association. The supplement covers new grading rules and new grade names for framing, joists, planks and roof decking, including stress grades. They were approved by the association grading committee and board of directors March 5 to take effect immediately.

Recent FHA approval of equal span tables for Douglas Fir joists and rafters, regardless of point of origin, preceded the change in grading provisions, which for framing lumber and decking now coincide with West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau rules. Framing grade changes for all 11 species produced in the Western Pine region are detailed in the supplement. In addition to Douglas Fir, they are White Fir, Larch, Hemlock, Ponderosa Pine, Idaho White Pine, Sugar Pine, Engelmann Spruce, Lodgepole Pine, Incense Cedar and Red Cedar.

FHA approval of equal span tables for Douglas Fir is for an interim period to the end of 1960, during which adequate test data is to be assembled so that permanent stress values can be assigned, it was explained by W. E. Griffee, secretary-manager of the \Mestern Pine Association. It applies to the Select Structural, Construction and Standard grades, or their equivalents in the old Western Pine rules, when used for joists and rafters.

Griffee announced that many mills have already switched over to the new grading rules, and more are making the move just as fast as their mill graders familiarize themselves with the provisions. Intensive training programs are going ahead under tutelage of Association inspectors.

Copies of the supplement, for attaching to the regu- lar 1960 grading rule book, can be obtained from the Western Pine Association, Yeon Bldg., Portland,.Ore., at 15 cents each.

Gonstruction Boycoff Bill

Brqnded "Sell-ou|" by NlJt[A

The Construction Boycott Bill, which would permit union picketing and secondary boycotts at construction sites where there is more than one contractor, has been branded by NLMA as "a complete sell-out to union bosses." The statement was made by NLMA's Industry-Government Affairs division in a memorandum to the association's National Affairs committee, the Committee on Government Relations and board of directors.

The bill has been approved by the House Labor Committee and now awaits action by the llouse Rules Committee. The Senate Labor Committee is not expeeted to act on an identical measure until later.

Rules ldenrifying Species on Grode-Stomped Lumber

The full text of the Board of Building and Safety Commissioners, City of Los Angeles, File No. 60.301, dated January 7, 1960, respecting identification of species on Grade-Stamped lumber, is reported through the courtesy of the Southern California Retail Lumber Assn.:

"At the meeting of April 8, 1957, your llonorable Body adopted rules and regulations for lumber-grading agencies who grade mark lumber for use in the City of Los Angeles. One of the requirements incorporated in this resolution was that the species of the lumber graded should be indicated by name, abbreviation or symbol. Representatives of the West Coast Lumbermens Association, who attended the meeting, concurred in the resolution except insofar as it required the species to be included.

"Accordingly, on June 24, 1957, your Honorable Body waived the requirement of indicating species in grade-

marking Coast Douglas fir and West Coast hemlock until July 1, i960. This waiver applied only to the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau and the Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau.

"Since that date these agencies have been investigating methods of marking species that would be economically feasible under their present operational procedures. They have a solution which they feel would be workable provided the original resolution could be interpreted to allow the specie marks to be omitted under certain conditions as follows:

"I. Stamps for Douglas fir will include species identification and will be used on all Douglas fir except:

(a) Studs not over 10 feet long

(b) One inch nominal sheathing boards

"2. Other species such as West Coast hemlock, Sitka spruce and white fir would be grade stamped but without identification of species with the understanding that all these are equivalent to white fir.

"Departmental Recommendations: Approval as a rule of general application for a period of three years until July 1, 1963.

"Code and Comments: In addition to the Board Resolution adopted in April 1957, the 1960 Building Code, soon to be published, requires that the specie be included in the grade stamp of all lumber used in the City of Los Angeles. However, in certain instances where all species are permitted identical uses, it is felt that the specie identification could be omitted. Studs not over 10 feet long and one inch nominal sheathing boards fall within this category. In other cases where the specie stamp is omitted, it is reasonable to permit uses commensurate with the weakest type of lumber permitted by code.

"Although the requirements of specie grading Coast Douglas fir and West Coast hemlock are not effective until July 1, 1960, these organizations have requested this action by your Honorable Body at the earliest possible date to permit their mills sufficient time to conclude all' arrangements necessary to comply with the ordinance."

Walter A. Brugger, Director Materials Control Division.

Approved: Hanley Wayne, Chief of Building Bureau ; V. Rapp, Research Engineer; G. E. Morris, Superintendent of Building.

Report and recommendations adopted by the Board of Building and Safety Commissioners on January 7,1960.

cent decision to open plywood rates July 1, and warned of repetition of the 1953-58 rate wars if the Conference isn't supported.

Eric Wagner of Del Valle, Kahman & Co., rebutted that the IHPA had alreadv wired the Conference to consider the efiects of the open .ate, while Bob Reid of Zeil & Co., and Hans Rainer of East Asiatic Company criticized the Conference's failure to consult importers fully.

All agreed, however, on the need for stability in rates.

The balance of the meeting was equally fast-moving. S. Oshima of Mitsui & Co., exporters, and S. Hamaguchi of Toyo Plywood Co., manufacturers, answered the importers' searching questions about the present distress in the Japanese plywood market. The honorable gentlemen said that the compromise of differences in their association by democratic process was slow, Discussions were stopped an hour late by Prebident Charlie Schmitt.

"But I'm not Mr. Jones."

"Heavens ! You mean to say you've changed your name, too?"

The Mosl Beoutiful Will

Many years ago a lawyer nambd Charles Lounsbury, poor and insane, died in the Cook County Asylum in Illinois. After he was gone, it was found that he had left behind a will, one of the most remarkable in human history. Here is the way it read:

"I, Charles Lounsbury, being of sound mind and disposing memory, do hereby make and publish this my last will and testament in order, as justly as may be, to distribute my interest in the world among succeeding men. That part of my interest which is known in law and recognized in the sheepbound volumes as my property, being inconsiderable and of no account, I make no disposal of in this, my will.

"My right to live being but a life estate is not at my disposal, but, these things excepted, all else in the world I now proceed to devise and bequeath:

"I give to good fathers and mothers in trust for their children, all good little words of praise and encouragement, and all queer.pet names and endearments, and I charge said parents to use them justly and generously, as the needs of their children may require.

"I leave to children exclusively, but only for the term of their childhood, all and every, the fowers of the field and the blossoms of the woods with the right to play among them freely, according to the customs of children, warning them at the same time against thistles and thorns. And I devise to children the banks of the brooks, and the golden sands beneath the waters thereof, and the odor of the willows that dip therein, and the white clouds that foat high over the giant trees. And I leave the children the long,

long days to be merry in, in a thousand ways, and the night and the moon and the train of the Milky Way to wonder at, but subject, nevertheless, to the rights hereinafter given to lovers.

"I devise to boys jointly all the useful'fields and commons where ball may be played, all pleasant waters where one may swim; all snow-capped hills where one may coast' and all streams and ponds where one may fish, or where, when grim Winter comes on, one may skate; to have and to hold the same for the period of their boyhood. And all meadows with the clover blossoms and butterflies thereof ; the woods and their appurtenances, the squirrels and the birds, and echoes of their strange noises, and all the distant places which may be visited, together with the advefitures there found. And I give to said boys each his own place at the fireside at night, with all pictures that may be seen in the burning wood, to enjoy without let or hindrance, and without any incumbrance or care.

"To lovers I devise their imaginary world, with whatever they may need, such as the stars in the sky, the red roses by the wall, the bloom.of the hawthorne, the sweet strains of music, and aught else by which they may desire to prove to each other the last lingering beauty of their love.

"To young men jointly I bequeath and devise all boisterous and inspiring sports of rivalry, and I give to them the disdain of weakness, and undaunted confidence in their own strength, though they are rude. And I give to them the power to make lasting friendships, and of possessive companions, and to them exclusively I give all merry songs and brave choruses, to sing with lusty voices.

"And to those who are no longer children, or youths, or lovers, I leave memory, and I bequeath to them the volumes of the poets Burns and Shakespeare and all other poets-if indeed there be others-fully and without tithes or diminution.
