\Working in the rain? Hc could be, because this Red_ wood siding repels \^/arer; will not absorb moisrure. It's factory-sealed u,ith Woodrox. The advantages of water-repellant trearmenr are widely recognized, since moisture is the grearesr single cause of problems wirh wood sidin gs. Euery piece of Rockporr Bevel Siding is now treated with Woodtox; and at no exlra cost. It's a substantial extra value, enabling the lumber dealer to offer his customers a premium Redwood ar comperirive prices.

SO WHO NEEDS

EDITORIAL

A Forwqrd Step?

\f/E WELCOME THE LIKES of Jim Cooper's W l"tt"r, printed in our May issue! He takes us to task for expecting the manufacturer to foot the bill for training local lumber salesmen, and suggests we beat the drum for local wood promotion funds which ciruld be used for that purpose.

We think the answer is somewhere in between. For instance, most retailers are selling many nonlumber items. Thus, a sales training program set up by the local union-management funds would of necessity train salesmen of building materials, rather than lumber exclusively. Such a program would greatly benefit the building material retailer. W'e endorse it, we encourage it, we hope retailers everywhere will benefit from the southern California experience. We commend the group for the way they have used available funds for wood promotion (though not as yet for sales training).

We would also like to point out that NationalAmerican Wholesale Lumber Association has for the last three years had a sales training program, based on actual experience in the sale of lumber. In this case an association has helped its members to help themselves through the sharing and codification of actual experience. Wholesale lumber salesmen are doing a better job for their mills as a result.

There must be a mutual meeting ground, and maybe this should be at the local lumber association level. We suggest that manufacturer's associations might spend more time and money developing programs that will train and educate member-s and salesmen of regional and local building materials groups by involving association representatives in local programs as a matter of policy. And it might be well for local groups, in turn, to encourage their lumber suppliers to show them ways they can make a better profit on the sale of this material, and to help themselves with a local sales training program developed from local union-management funds.

Undoubtedly there is a great deal more to be said on this subject. If we can act as a lorum to generate practical ideas and turn them into action, we will be serving our purpose.

A Fresh Breeze

TYfE IN THE West have had our share of breezes W this year, blowing in rain, snow, sleet, floods and just plain wind. But the freshest breeze we .have experienced occurred in, of all placeso Boca Raton, Florida, where the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association assembled for their annual convention.

This fresh breeze was generated by none other than W'endell Barnes, WWPA's executive vice president, in an unscheduled, off-the-cufr, down-to-earth talk to the convention.

In short order he suggested that (l) NAWLA be asked to participate in the program at the next WWPA convention; (2) an advisory committee on technical problems be formed to inclu.d,e wholesalers and retailers; (3) wholesalers be consulted with respect to a new set of rules being drawn up by WWPA, and (4) that NAWLA may well promote WWPA's grade guarantee. With good reason Mr. Barnes was given a standing ovation. Here, finally, is a gentleman, new to the industry, who is able to see the forest instead of the treeso who brings a fresh and enlightened viewpoint to the marketing of lumber, who is blowing a new horn, a new tune, and has brought a fresh breeze into the forest.

The industry will do well to listen with both ears to what he has to say. He may not be right every time, but we can be sure he is not going to tolerate the status quo just because "we always did it that way."

Big Bonanza-A Consumer's Comstock

A FTER COYERING a lew hundred n.w I r retail building material layouts in recent years, we'll have to admit to becoming a bit blase on the matter, but we sure'got a jolt last month when we walked into Bonanza Home Center in Campbell (near San Jose ) . At the invitation of owners Jerry Callner and Jerry Kritzer and manager Bill Mitchell, we visited the house of "25,000 do-it-yoursel{ items," and we truly {eel they've underestimated the company slogan.

Located at 1750 South Bascom Avenue in Campbell, Bonanza is situated in a new shopping center, or more accurately, the shopping center is located around it. At first glance the huge :10,000 sq. ft. store has the appearance of a discount operation. It is not. Bonanza's pricing system has been accurately programmed and all items are offered at a competitive price, one price to all, walk-in trade and contractors alike.

Other deceiving features of the new store are its turnstilcs, groccry carts (special heavy duty carts for heavier items available too) and five checkout stands which would indicate 100/o self service. Wrong again. Although customers are invited to browse, if they are in a hurry they merely hail one of the team of "Bonanza Boys," a uniformed customerhelping force recruited frorn local high school and college students.

New name, officers, marketing council and the same old fight over standards marks NFPA Meet

LECTION of a new president, approval of a name change and dues adjustment, and announcement of the launching of a new national wood marketing program highlighted the 1965 annual meeting of the old National Lumber Manufacturers Association, May 3-5, in W'ashington, D.C.

The association also acted to advance industry objectives in connection with proposed new lumber standards and forestry matters.

J. B. Edens, president of Southwest Forest Industries, Inc., Phoenix, Ariz., was elected NFPA president for the coming year.

In resolutions taken up the final day of the three-day meeting, NFPA directors:

o Changed the association's name, efiective June l, to th,e National Forest Products Association to reflect the broadeninei scope of its activities.

a Approved a new dues rate, effective June I, of ll cents per thousand board feet of lumber shipped by memher mills (the old rate was five cents) and voted a proportionate adjustment for member companies paying on a flat dues basis.

The dues adjustment will be used chiefly to finance an ,expanded forestry and government afiairs pro€{ram and to carry on certain functions-mainly building code. fire insurance" engineering and industry relations-partially supported hy the National Wood Promotion Proeram. which was terminatecl \4ay 31.

WOOD MARKETING COUNCIT

The new national wood marketing program, to be administered hy a Wood Marketing Council operating independently of any industry trade association, is expected to assume advertising. marketing and field promotion activiti,es of the NWPP. Financing will be by direct contributions from lumber manufacturers. distributors. remanufacturers and allied interests.

To help the Wood Marketing Council meet operating expenses while its dues collection machinery is being geared up. NFPA directors approved a resolution ofiering to loan the embryo organization up to $100,000.

An organizational meeting of the Wood Marketing Council will be held in a central location in June. At that time, subscribers will take final action on program details. Preliminary plans propose an assessment

of l0 cents per thousand board feet o{ lumber shipped by manu{acturers, with equivalent rates for other supporters.

STANDARDS ISSUE GETS ATIENTION

Lumber standards was one of the key issues occupying a major share of the spotlight in the NFPA meetingand a{terwards. Association directors called on the newly reconstituted American Lumber Standards Committee to establish a standard:

(1) relating size to moisture content;

(2) providing for efficient use of wood components;

(3) avoiding complex fractions.

The NFPA-passed resolution said the lr/r-inch dry and equivalent green-size lumber standard best fulfills these requirements. Additionally. the association made a strong appeal to the ALSC to continue its past practice of including "properly

Forestry also came in lor a major share of attention at the meeting, sessions of which were the best attended in the organization's 63-year history. The association strengthened its forest policy on several counts and took the unprecedented action of suggesting the development of rules or standards to govern public-private Iand exchanges.

OTHER RESOTUTIONS

Other resolutions covered a wide range of vital issues currently hefore the forest industries. These actions:

(1) Authorized appointment of a "special committee on compensation for real property acquisition," to suggest possible changes in the laws and regulations in this area.

(2) Urged the federal government to undertake a study of "alternative programs" for the relief of property loss victims of floods and other natural disasters. NFPA said this should include consideration of lederal disaster insurance.

(3) Called {or industry development of counter-proposals to head ofi efiorts to "{ederalize existing private standards bodies."

(4) Backed the present system of regional model huilding codes as superior to a proposed federally-promulgated national 'building code. The present code system, NFPA noted, "ofiers a more democratic procedure . . . a broader latitude of knowledge and experience, and an efficient system for regular review and modernization."

(5) Agreed with Rep. James Roosevelt (D-Calif.) on the desirability of lumber being grademarked at the point of manufacture but said the draft on a Roosevelt bill to make this mandatorv would subiect lumber to "regulation heyond that which applies to other construction materials."

NEW OFFICERS ETECTED

identified one-standard sizes in grading rules as an integral part of the voluntary nature oI the standard."

At the same time, NFPA asked Commerce Secretary John T. Connor to (1) "clearly define all the acceptanoe procedures" of his department and the ALSC, and (2) set a "reasonable time limit" for ALSC action on the standards issue.

As NFPA's new president, Edens succeeds Mark Townsend of the Townsend Lumber Co., Stuttgart, Ark., elected board chairman. New first vice president is Gene C. Brewer, president of the U.S. Plywood Corp.

Regional vice presidents for the coming year will be: John S. Richards, president of the Atlas Tie Co., Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; Russell H. Ells, president and general man-

(Continued on Page 83)

REP. Harold T. (Bizz) Johnson (D-Calif.), participating in annual meeting of National Forest Products Associa. tion (nee' NLMA, urged industry representatives to take part in the early shaping of federal forestry policies and programs-not to wait until such policies are developed and then voice only opposition.

I HIS capti\-atingly styled home offers more contributions to easier and better living than it seems possible one house could supply.

Each area of this design contributes to its overall livability. Note how the active and quiet sections of the home have been well separated. Ihe bedroom wing is completely separated from the remainder of the house by closets and baths. The formal living and dining rooms are at the rear of the home while the more informal family room and kitchen are at the front.

An open-plan makes the most of available floor space. A partial wall separates the living room from the dining. A screen could be located between the top of this wall and the ceiling or if preferred, the wall could be omitted during construction. Only cabinets separate the kitchen and family room. This open-planning tends to visually enlarge all areas.

The entry is flooded with light due to the location of a stationary glass panel next to the front door. A guest closet opens to the entry.

Closet and storage space throughout is very gencrous. The bedrooms alone have in excess of three times the closet space as required by F.H.A.! The linen is exceptionally wide. The distinctive dressins room off the master bedroom has a wide pullman plus a dressing table. Each of these units have storage drawers andfor shelves below.

The private bath for the master bedroom and the family bath are back-to-back to save on plumbing cost. The ertra hal{-bath is off the service where it is convenient to the kitchen and rear entrance.

Both the furnace and water heater are in the oversized double garage. 'fhis saves closet space in the home and also simplifies maintenance and repair. Regular doors open from the garage to the rear yard and to the kitchen. Some builders prefer a garage door opening to the street rather than the side yard as illustrated here. It would be a very simple change during the building of the home to relocate the garage door.

Vide eaves project from all exterior walls. They provide shade and protect the walls and windows from rain. A nice desien effect has been obtained by locating posts anJ a screen above the planter next to the front porch.

Please send me complete information about the special volume discounts to retail dealers, on complete working plans and a full selection of home plan books. Firm Name

Honolulu Hoo-Hoo Club #142

rNETy-FrvE percent of the visitors to Hawaii see little more of the Islands than the resort hotels, Tflaikiki, and the r,egular tourist sights. Yet, behind this facade there is an abundant, pulsating life made up of the cultures of many nations who have brought their traditions to the Islands and have left them intact.

Thus, CLM was more than pleased to be invited to a meeting of Hoo-Hoo Club No. 142 in Honolulu recently, and find that the finest traditions of ,the order are being maintained, although the cast of characters difiers.

Honoroes on this memorable occasion were Dave Davis, Rameses No. 48, and Bob Wright, currently Supreme Scrivenoter, who were vacationing with their charming wives, Dottie and Jane. Both gentlemen addressed the assembled brothers in a dignified and serious vein, and their messages were well reoeived.

The meeting was held at the Cannon Club, a beautiful officers club half way up the side of Diamond Head, overlooking Honolulu, courtesy of Jim Lovell, vice pres-

Here's Howsii

As Al Bell has hinted in the accompanying story, there is much more to Hawaii than the sandy beaches, swaying palms, hula girls and outriggers shown in travel fold' ers and advertisements in Sazset. I'm happy for this opportunity to share with CLM readers some of the factors which make our 50th State unique.

BY PUTNAM S. ROBBINS

A small three,bedroom house that sells for $10,000 in Phoenix and perhaps $18,(n0 in Los Angeles will sell for $23,000 on Oahu.

Typically this house would contain 1100 square feet of living space witl an additional 300 to 4,00 square feet of protected outdoor living spae,e and storage, plus a carport. It would have an exterior of Il+" redwood, jalousie windowg sliding doors opening to a lanai, open beamed ceilings, no insulation and no heating of any type. This typical house would rest on land leased to the developer and then to the home owner for about $250 per year. The house owner will pay taxes on the house ond land for the period of the lease, 45 to 60 years. By the time the home owner moves into his house the land on which it sits is worth $l to $1.35 per square foot. Industrial and commercial land suitable for wholesale and retail wood products distribution is valued at $15 to $35 per square foot.

The State of Hawaii consists of many islands strung across over I5(X) miles of the Pacific. You probably think only of Oahu, site of Waikiki, Pearl Harbor and Honolulu. This island is one of the smaller of the main islands in the state, yet houses 80 percent of Hawaii's 720,000 people. Over 70 percent of the privately owned lands on Oahu are held by about a dozen estates, trusts or families.

This all leads to two of Hawaii's unique features. Leasehold residential property and the high cost of housing.

With such land scarcity and resulting high cost plus inventories demanded by the distance and transportation factorg it is not difficult to understand why Island lumbermen work hard and carry sharp pencils.

If anyone reads this column and is interested in hearing more about Hawaii, wood products distribution and the men who are "The Nations' Home Builders" in Hawaii, we can do this again.

Until then, aloha from Honolulu Hoo-Hoo Club #142, the Wood Products Association of Hawaii and your lumbermen brothers in the grass skirts.

Westerners are well lepres ente d At NAWLA in Florida ann ua I

ffuxonuos or lumbermen, wives and asrr sociates gathered at Boca Raton, Florida, for the 73rd annual meeting of the National-American Wholesale Lumber As' sociation April 27-29.

In addition to electing 16 new directors for three-year terms, tt",iittg Bruce F. Harris, Pittsburgh, Pa., as their new president, they endorsed grademarking of all grades and sizes of framing lumber.

, Other key action included launching of a new efiort toward closer coordination with manuia"tur"rs' associations through partici' pation in annual meetings, and beginning of plans to initiate a program to name the "Lumber 'Wholesaler of the Year" at future wholesaler meetings.

Florida must have a fascination for westerners. Out of a' total attendance of 325 at the meeting; no less than 65 were from the Pacific Coast. California led in attendance with 2I, Oregon had 20, British Crclumbia a surprising 17 and Washington 7. These figures tell the story of a highly successful convention, coupled with the heightened interest of westerners in this progressive organization.

"Sterling" Sterling Wolfe and wife Loraine were seen frequently exploring the beautiful beach-hunting for sea shells, we presume. Al Bell and wife Marjorie, ob' served this beach life (when timepermitted, of course) from the shade of one of the many cabanas, where Phil and Maurine Boyd and Larry and Jerry Fitzpatrick were neighbors. The outdoor barbecue was a great success, if one could judge from the amount consumed by Sherm and Kathleen Bishop of Union Lumber, Denny and Norma Gilchrist of Pacific Fir Sales and Bob and Rosalie.Wells of Tarter, Webster & Johnson.

A few temporary bachelors like Leo Hu' lett of Willits Redwood Products, Frank Bader of Ed Fountain Lumber, Don Higgins of Fruit Growers Supply and Jack Ford of Tarter, Webster & Johnson did very well without chaperones. Erv and Doris Bartel of Scott Lumber, Burney, were s€en talking lumber to somebody. Bob Wells of Tarter, Webster & Johnson kept many laughing a good part of the time. Even wife Rosalie hadn't heard them all before. The redwood industry, beside Sherm Bishop, was well represented by Bob Hoover of Pacific Lumber (on crutches) and a clutch of aids, and Ford Conger of

heldGeorgia-Pacific, with a group of his regional sales managers.

But it wasn't all golf, swimming and, oh, yes, elbow bending. The convention had two particularly rewarding sessions. One on telephone selling in which the association's consultant for sales training, Sidney Edlund took a prominent par! and another fabulous session on data processing for small firms at ,which association menrber Chris Snavely of Germain Lumber Corp. in Pittsburgh, outlined his very successful five year marriage with an IBM machine. Many

Hoban, Inc., Brooklyn, New York. Reap' pointed were: executive vice-president, J. J. Mulrooney, New York; western manager' Donald A. Andrews of Pordand.

Among those newly elected to a threeyear term on the board of directors: David W. Blasen, Blasen & Granat Lumber Corp., Portland, Oregon; Henry T. Eaton, EatonYoung Company, Eugene, Oregon; WilIiam E. McPherson, Tumac Lumber Company, Inc.,Pordand, Oregon; R. H. O'Neill, Hemphill-O'Neill Lumber Co., Inc., Che' halis, Washington, and Robert S. Wells, Tarter, Webster & Johnson in Los Angeles.

Retiring president Walter Arling, Arling Lumber Co., Cincinnati, gave a stirring and challenging account of his stewardship. NAWLA increased its net membership by 13 in 1964-65, and the ensuingyear looks even more favorable. The association is wresding with several problemq not the least of which is the continuance of LIMC' oI which more in later issues.

came away convinced they could get into data processing profitably.

Oh, yes, there was a business session too, at which the association adopted a slightly revised dues structure efiective April l, 1966:

Annual Sales Volume under $l million

-$250 Annual Dues.

Annual Sales Volume over $1 million -$300 Annual Dues.

To accomplish this revision, the board authorized the discontinuation of credit reports. The accounts receivable past due report, collection department and arbitration service remain unchanged.

New officers elected: president, Bruce F. Harris, Sanford-Harris Lumber Co., Pittsburgh; lst vice-president, A. D. Bell, Jr., Hobbs Wall Lumber Company Inc., San Francisco; 2nd vice-presi'dent, C. E. Klumb, C. E. Klumb Lumber Co., Crystal Springs, Miss.; treasurer, W. Barry Everett, Everett-

NAWLA members were informed oI an invitation from the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau to have a NAWLA member serve in an advisory capacity on WCLIB's executive committee.

Resolutions were also passed by NAWLA members supporting H. R. 4370 which would correct present inequities giving tax privileges to cooperative organizations, and calling on railroads to abide by present Interstate Commerce Commission rules requiring prompt rendering of freight bills to avoid delays which unfairly hold up payment to wholesalers for shipments.

Social activities included a cruise for nearly 100 wives down the Inland Water' way, golf tournaments, and an evening beach party and steak roast.

Dates for the 1966 NAWLA annual meet' ing were announced as April 14, 15 and 16, at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel in Phoe' nix. Arizona.

Louise didn't just fall into her joh. but had a most interesting bepJinning to ht'r experience and business acum('n. During World War Il, she was r:hosen to take ovt'r thc head buying jol:r at the Quartt-'rma-'ter Denot in \'Iira I-oma. Calif.

St,' \\ras rcsponsilrlc for bu.ving the right amount and right quality paint. glue" papt'r and yrrotectivt' wrapping for all the rnatt'rials ,s('nt ovcrs('as from thi," partit'trlar depot. This meant knorving what u't'ights rvor.rld casilv float if thrown in the water. thc most a coolie could carry from tht' ship to thc dock" what lrrand of adhcsivt' rvould applr- casilv and withstand the t'fft'cts oI salt lvatcr and knol'ing tht' m,vriad of gov(.rnment t,ode nrtmlrtrs lrv heart to asstlr(' that tht' l)roper itcm rt'achcd thtr proper dt'stination.

LIpon lt'aving tht' gort'rnment post. slttr took a {ling at }rt'r own lrusiness. Horvevt'r, shc {elt thc desire to rt'tttrn to tht: line of work for whit'h she uas best qualified. She used thc cxpt'rit'nce she gained in the houscu'ares dt'partment of the Fedway Storc

S ith limt' and sPaet al l prcntittm. Lotrise has found it more btrtteficial to relv on one coml)any to fill her glue and adhcsivt, needs. She sa1's, "Becattse tht'ir linc is the most t'ompletc and extt'nsive. I t'hose to stock onlv the \\/ilhold linr'."

The o\!,n('rs of Ontario Lumlrcr and Hardware Oo., largcst in thtr Pomona ValIt'1'. are Robcrt Mohlcr and Georgt, David, Jr. No strangers to either the storc or its customers, they have both workcd there for 13 1ears. bu.ving the company last yt-'ar.

From all sales indications. Louise feels that with mor(' uses being devcloped for glues arrd adhesivt's. tht'se products should be heavily merchandi'.ed by all lumber and

hardw'are dt'alcrs. Sht' ha-" s('t up sp('('ial gluc displays ltetween the hardrvare sectiott and the lumlrt'r vard.

If you llcrt' to ask her marl) customcrs if shr: knows hcr busines-., they llould all agree that Louise Morrison is one woman that ha,s tht' ansu t'rs that "stick."

FTANKED BY ()WNERS George David, Jr. (left) and Robert Mohler, Louise shows off a new glue and adhesive display. Partners David and Mohler, who both worked at 0ntario Lumber & Hardware for 13 years, bought out the store last year.

The 74-cent stud really costs less.

The 67-cent stud is unseasoned. The other one is Weyerhaeuser Engineered 4-Square@ Kiln-Dried Lumber in the new lYz" dimension.

At these prices (based on retail price lists for std./btr. quoted in Topeka, Kansas, December, 1964 ) you may think the cheaper stud is easier to sell.

But when your customers figure all the costs, they could end up paying from three to ten cents more for the green stud.

If they care about in-place costs, you'll be doing them a favor by stocking Engineered lumber.

And if you care about repeat business, you'll be doing yourself a favor.

Dealers have already ordered more than 320 million board feet as more and more of their customers switch over. That's the equivalent of about 32.000 new homes.

No wonder. Engineered 4-Square Lumber saves money for your customers these important ways: Labor. Engineered lumber is lighter and easier to work so the job goes faster.

Minimum waste. Quality is so uniform that culls are virtually eliminated.

Fewer call-bachs. Most important, Weyerhaeuser Engineered Lumber eliminates the most common cause of complaints and call-backs, uneven shrinkage on the job.

That's because it's dried to a new low uniform average moisture con, tent of 15 percent-maximum fo any one piece is 19 percent.

This makes it far superior to green lumber and it even beats ordinary kiln-dried lumber.

This new lumber will make money for you several ways.

For one thing, the savings on freight to Chicago for a 40,000-foot car of Engineered 4-Square Lumber compared with a 40,000-foot car of nominal 2x4 greenfir would be 9268. To Louisville,$282. To Miami, $308.

This means you can compete with green and still sell quality.

In addition, quality is so uniform you can almost count on repeat busiNCSS.

And you'll also save money in handling costs because you can store more lumber in the same space.

We're backing this lumber with a new advertising and sales promotion program this year. Your Weyerhaeuser sales representative has all the details.

Boxcqr Shorfoge Attqcked

New action to stimulate the solution to a boxcar shortage it claims is costins its industry $10 million a year, has been taken by the America"n Plywood Association.

A brochure explaining the problem, and asking for support o{ remedial legislation, has been mailed to about 70,000 distributors and dealers in the building materials field, the association reported. Quantities of the brochures also are being offered to association members, for mailing to their customers. The publication asks for support of legislation in the House and the Senate that would give the Interstate Commerce Commission authority to fix rental iates folboxcars.

The present shortage, the result of 20 years of attrition to the decaying national boxcar fleet, is blamed on the a'bility of eastern railroads to lease western-owned cars more cheaply than they can build their own. Rental rates are fixed by an association of railroads, which is dominated by eastern interests.

Fibreboord Buys Three Firms

Fibreboard Paper Products Corporation has announced it has acquired, for an undisclosed amount of cash, Clear Fir Sales Company of Springfield, Oregono a national distributor of plywood products; the Lorenz Lumber Company of Burney, California, a manufacturer of lumber and plywood, and the Cloverdale Plywood Company of Cloverdale, California.

According to George W. Burgess, Fibreboard's president, these acquisitions not only mark Fibreboard's entry into the plywood field, but also are a part of its program to further integrate into the forest products industry and to consolidate the company's raw material sources for its paperboard mills.

OU CAN LEARN a lot of interesting and useful things about men and women by studying potatoes. Hereos one way:

. You fill a bushel basket full of potatoes of all sizes. Then you , shake the basket. And do you know what happens? Always the s€une interesting thing. The big potatoes come to the top. The little potatoes go to the bottom. And other potatoe,s take their place ' somewhere between the top and bottom, depending entirely on their SIZE.

No maiter how many times you mix those potatoes up, and start shaking them, the same things happen. Always the big ones come to the top and the small ones go to the bottom.

And its exactly the same with human beings. Every time you shake the bushel'basket of humanity, the big folks come to the top, the little folks go to the bottom, and the rest take their place near - the top or bottom just depending on their size. It always happens whenever you shake that bushel basket.

So what do we learn from this story? That the only way for either potatoes or men to get to the top of the basket is to GROW BIGGER. There is no other way. Strive and twist and turn and wish as they will, it won't do them a bit of good so long as they stay the same size. When the basket of humanity is shaken-as it is being shaken all the way through li{e-they will take their place that their size provides.

So the answer is simple. The man or woman who wants to get to the top can only do so by making him or her self BIGGER. How? Well, that's a long story.

Those men who are i,u""r"u-,o ,"ti.l una stop doing useful things, seeking a life free from responsibilities and duties, would do well to remember what Diogenes said when it was suggested he rest because he was old. He said: "If I were running in the stadium, ought I to slacken my pace when approaching the goal? Ought I not rather put on more speed?".

Don't forget the remark of Edison that "everything comes to he who waits if he hustles while he is waitins."

BY JACK DIONNE

A piece of advice: If you discover that a friend is slipping away from yoir, drop everything else and go ,catch him and bring him back; for that is one of the few things in this world that no one can afford to lose.

The average person simply says: "Do to others as you would have them de to you." And that is the soul and essence of o'The Golden Rule." But regardless of which of these manners of saying this same truth you may think the finest, it makes little difierence if you will just live fully up to the philosophy.

The ancient Persians said: "Do as )ou would be done by."

A farmer ran an "a ini.i. r*" O*". that read: "Farmer 38 wishes to meet and marry woman about 30 who owns a tractor. In replying, please enclose picture of tractor."

Several years ago t .pol" ,o I "o'l"nrion. Before I started a lady in the crowd recalled that she heard me talk in that same city in the year 1912, and that I recited a short verse called "Sam's Girl." She wanted to know if I could still recall the words. I could. It goes like this:

"Sam's girl is tall and slender, My girl is short and low, Sam's girl wears silks and satins, My girl wears calico, Sam's girl is fast and sporty, My girl is pure and good, Think I'd trade my girl for Sam's girl? Why, you know darn well I would!"

Speaking of good *ur.l,o -" ,n. best of any year is that of the comedian W. C. Fields (I love his stuff, anyway) when he said: ooNever smarten up a chump." He is the man who made, "Never give a sucker an even break," a national byword.

After the N'Iay 6 meeting a number of committet: members and somt' members of Western Forest Industries Association met with Ilichard Canar-an of FHA concerning FHA acceptanct: of nonstandard \7/r" dry lumber. Some time ago, a telegram had been sent by Commissioner Brownstein to all FHA field offices, stating that ll/r" dry was not acceptable on FHA financed projects. Canavan assured the pgoup that there would be no change from this position now or in the foreseeable future.

The ALS board on May 6 had acted upon advice from ALS legal counsel that rulcs on non-standard sizes may be included in grading rules books of ALS certified rule making agencies if the non-standard size and lack of ALS approval are made clear.

Hordwood Plywood lmport Figures

Hardwood plywood imports in 1961 totaled 1,946 million square feet, sur{ace measure, with a foreign FOB valuation of $122,579,590. This well exceeded the prer,ious record year of 1963 in which these imports were recorded at 1,620 million feet and which were valued at $107,872.129.

Japan showed a moderate decline in both square lootage and dollar volume, but showed a substantial loss in their percentage of the U. S. market. Largest gains were by Taiwan, I(orea and the Philippine Republic-with but moderate changes hy others.

How Abouf qn ldeq Center?

An alert dealer organization in Texas recently tied in with a national advertising campaign by the American Plywood Association to kick off its own statewide consumer sales effort.

They counted on the summer season surge in leisure home building and drew strength from a timely plywood association second home advertisement to launch the Lumbermen's Association ol Texas program called the "Idea Center."

It is a lively and relatively inexpensive sales efiort that other dealer groups across the country could duplicate easily.

The Idea Center is based on a literature display stand which can be stocked with sales literature produced by national organizations. In their April program, the Texas dealers displayed plywood leisure home brochures and cabin plans, along with plywood association advertising reprints. Subject matter in the display is changed each month.

The initial efiort produced substantial local tie.in advertising across the state and a lot of publicity, including a color picture story in the Houston Posr.

The Second Week of Moy

'oThat

Was The Week That Was".

San Francisco Assernblyman John Burton introduced Assembly Bill 2403, in the state legislature. (For textsee box). A hearing before the Public Health Committee of the assembly was scheduled for Mon' day, May 16.

When word of the contents of this bill got around on Monday, May 10, the California lumber and plywood industry went into an uproar so loud that it reached The Honorable Mr. Burton's ears, and by Wednesday tle scheduled hearings on the bill were cancelled, although at this writing it has yet to be withdrawn from the hopper.

ulation is rife as to who is behind this leg' islation.

Credit for marshalling opinion goes to many. It is a heart-warrning sight to see manufacturers, wholesalers, tetailerso contractors, home builders and carpenters row' ing in the same boat towards a common goal.

- Ah, if we could only do it all the time!

Marr Hyatt's letter to AssemblYman Burton, reproiluced, in Part below, clearly states the association's a,nd, his company's opposition tn the proposed bill. It is representatiae ol all thc corn' panies that deal in treated, wnd prod,ucts.-Eilitor.

The Honorable John C. Burton

Sacramento. California

Dear Sir,

Please be advised we are unalterably opposed to Assembly Bill #2403. We do not know if the term "flame retardant" is applicable to our products or not. However, even though it may be applicable and would give us a mandatory market legislated by L*, *" are opposed to it because: (1) The bill would in no way add to the basic purpose of a building code, which is the proiection of health, general 'welfare and the safety. (2) Current building codes and regulations are developed by expertsand reflect up-to-the-minute technical knowledge of the best materials to use' (3) Additional legislation would only,tend to confuse the public. (4) Discriminatory provisions will not add to the sa{ety of occupants of buildinp. We sincerely hope that you will withdraw the bill or terminate your support of it.

Sincerely Yours,

Illam Hyatt, Chairman Code Changers Committee Western Wood Preservers Institute and Asst.

Regionol Trqde Show Proposed

Members of Lumber Association of Southern California, Mon' tana Building Material Dealers Association, Western Retail Lum' bermen's Association, Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California, plus three managing officers, met May 17, in San Francisco to exchange ideas and discuss ways in which a closer relationship between the associations can rbe achieved.

Most important in the discussion of the western associations was the possibility of a Super Regional Trade Show, with the location io be changed to difierent major western cities each year, ,but always with the concept that it is a regional show, catering to the needs of the lumber and building material dealers in the western United States.

The matter of a regional show is to be investigated more fully with manufacturers and retailers. to determine if it is completely feasible. All agreed to help promote the Western Retail show in Portland in February 1966.

Wayne Gardner, one of the retail representatives on the new ALS committee. reviewed the "Lumber Grade-Marking Act," a bill being proposed by Congressman James Roosevelt, which-would require uli l,l-b"t to 'be grade-marked by an agency certified by the American Lumber Standards Committee, or be marked 'oungraded," with some exceptions. Western Retail Lumbermen's Association and the Lumber Association of Southern California are for the proposed rbill. The executive committee of the NLBMDA also approved the bill in principle'

Data processing in retail lurnber operations was discussed with Kingston McKee giving some very enlightening comments on the installation of the system at Forest Lumber Company' Homer Hayward of Hayward Lum'ber Co. in central California had adiitional comments on data processing. Both firms are sold on the idea of using the system and feel that additional information is being obtained through the process.

Educlation of personnel and where to find responsible personnel was discussed. Some of the firms are working with the junior colleges, in an effort to develop a curriculum which would suitably equip a man to come into a retail lumber operation.

Beryl Robinson Opens Own Yqrd

Beryl Robinson, formerly with Rich Bros. Lumber Co. in Visalia, has started his own retail lumber business in that town under the name of Branch Lumber, Inc. Catering mainly to custom and tract builders in the Central Valley region, Branch Lumber is located on a two acre site and is served by rail.

Prior to coming to Visalia with Rich Bros. Lumber, Robinson had spent ."u".uf years in Paradise, California, as manager- of Paradise Lum,ber Co. Branch Lumber, Inc' is also a new memrber of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California'

Federol Flood Repoir Funds

Despite a Forest Service allocation of $3.6 million for repair of flood-caused damage in the Pacific Northwest, and $I million in regular funds used for the emergency, more money will be needed. Repair of roads, bridges and culverts will receive most of the money

The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of the Budget are currently hearing plans to finance total recovery. Total damage was put at fiI2.2 million.

Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon has before the House of Representatives a bill that would give financial relief on part of the cost of road rebuilding to federal timber purchasers. The measure authorizes a total of $80 million for reconstruction of federal highways.

Deqler Associqtion Growing

"New membership records were achieved in 1964 by the Cali' fornia Building Material Dealers Association, Inc. and from all indications, 1965 wi[ be another banner year," commented Ralph H. Hilton, managing director of the statewide association.

A record 36 new members joined last year, bringing the total roster to an all-time total of 126 dealers. These figures take on more significance when compared with the 20 dealers, who formed the association late in 1945, and compared with the 6l members attained ten years after the formation.

From 1956 to 1964, CBMDA has doubled its membership and developed communications between dealer members in all areas of the state.

Of the 36 members, who joined recently, sorne 23 dealers were from northern California. The interest in the north has prornpted regular monthly meetings on the second Thursday at the Edgewater Inn in Oakland. CBMDA also holds monthly meetings in Los Angeles and bi-monthly meetings in San Diego, so that dealers are informed regularly on industry developments.

Remodeling Figures Ok'd for 1955

There will be a 1965 survey of remodeling expenditures by the Bureau of the Census.

The National Home Irnprovement Council sponsored a recenl industry meeting with the Department of Commerce and Bureau o{ the Census officials to discuss the 1965 report. Industry representatives reviewed past surveys for efiectiveness. They stressed the fact that, despite budget limitations, the report as it now stands is of extreme value to the industry, providing information on the size of the market and trends as well as some buyer and project characteristics. The meeting agreed that the present survey is increasingly used by industry factors to provide the basic sta' tistics for their own more detailed research in their areas of special interest. Six possible changes in future reports were discussed and these two recommendations made:

(f) That the Census Bureau consider including statistics on job and product incidence.

(2) That the Bureau publish a bibliography of unpublished data collected by the survey beginning with the I963're' port. This bibliography to be published as a part of part two of the Census 1963 report to be released this fall. A report of the all-day session is available by writing NHIC.

Conference on Wood Use

A national specialty conference on wood, sponsored by the structural division of- the American Society of Civil Engineers, will be held in Chicago, June 9-11.

The Conference, co-sponsored by the American Institute of Architects, the American Railway Engineering Association and the American Society for Testing Materials, will bring before engineers, architects and others concerned with construction, the latest developments in applications of wood as a structural mate' rial. Speakers will indicate how to take full advantage of the versatility, aesthetics, and economy of wood construction, and point to the trends of future construction'

The conference will consist of five half'day sessions with the themes: structural evaluation of wood; modern 'wood desigrr, fabrication and erection; versatility of wood in structures; dependability through standards; and modern wood structures-a glimpse into the future. The keynote addresses will be by Victor Lundy, internationally known architect, 61d Joseph A. Liska of the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory. Outstanding speakers from consulting engineering firms, architectural firmg the wood industry, universities, the railroad industry and government are included on the Conference program.

UALITY SLIDING DOOR FRAMES

Lurnber Unions Lose Pleq

The bid of two lumber workers' unions for $10 million to $20 million in pay lost by members locked out during a 1963 strike has lieen rebuffed by a trial examiner in a National Labor Relations Board hearing in San l'rancisco.

Jame-. R. Hemingway recommended to the NLRB dismissal of the unions' complaints that four timber firms had illegally locked out 1,1.000 men durins the strike in northern California and the Pacific Northwest.

The firms-Crown Zellerbach, International Paper. Rayonier and Weyerhaeuser 'limber-were members of a bargaining asso. ciation with two other firrns struck bv the International Woodrrorkers and the Saumill Workers L nion.

T'hey closed after the strike was called-"to protect group solidarity against selective strikes." Hemingrvay ruled. Thus, he said, the action was a defensive, legal move rather than retaliatort' and unlawful.

The unions plan to appeal Hemingrvay's finding to the NLRB in Vashineton.

Georgiq-Pocific Acquires Bestwqll

Stockholders of Ceorgia-Pacific corporation and Be-stwall Gypsum company har.e approved the merger of Bestwall into GeorgiaPacific. Also announced was that Georeia-Pacific sales. carnings. and cash flow for the first quarter of 1965 establishei r"* p!.. {ormance records.

The interim industry standard is being issued now by NPA while linal action by the U. S. Bureau of Standards is awaited on a new commercial standard. The particleboard industry has had a commercial standard since f96I (CS236-61). The new industry standard, (designated TS 5594 B, by the Bureau of Standards) has been circulated to user industries for comment as a step toward creating a new commercial standard.

Panels made liy companies -"ubscribing to the standard are classified into I0 difierent categories by physical properties to help specifiers and users determine which type of panel is best suited for a specific end use.

A Good Credit Department is VitalBy Bill

A NY merchant selling services or goods a r on a credit basis. who still thinks his credit department is a "necessary evil" is in for trouble.

After exploring the credit granting and collection procedures in hundreds of firms during my professional career as a credit management consultant, including classification and analysis of notes, contracts and accounts receivable, and breaking them down into current and delinquents, I've formed some very definite conclusions of my own. In fact, I have wondered many times how some of my clients have stayed in business.

Nearly always I found the same characteristics: lack of ability to concentrate on certain operating functions, with the result that some amateur was in the credit department.

It always takes a good sales force to create a credit problem. Yet, some of the so-called management geniuses I have met didn't know that it takes a creature with profound ability to solve collection problems created by the sales {orce and still keep customer good will.

Another mystery clouding management: a management team holding regular or

periodic sales meetings, but no "credit sales meetings."

More mystery appears when I ask what experience the credit people in the office have had. What training have they had in public relations? What experience in modern collection work? How much time each day is either spent or allowed to control credit outstanding-other than posting and

Locke

billing? Usually, I am told the office people tlo credit work in their spare time.

Far too often people are hired by small businessmen and the job routine is changed to fit the new employees. Why not hire people qualified to fit the job classifiications already established? If there is some magic wand businessmen wave over the heads of neophytes hired to hold down the credit desk, I've never seen the wand. But I've met a lot of neophytes who profess to understand credit manasement.

I have found utter complacency at the highest levels of management, and underpaid credit people charged with heavy responsibility. Perhaps, management, suppliers and manufacturers are in a dead end, and together with trade associations, have failed in their educational programs directed at credit personnel and sales people through management.

BlLt t0Cl(E, author of this outspoken story has operated his own credit consultant firm for the last 13 years, and has been in the credit field for 35 years. _An easy reference manual on Credit Manage. ment f0r Credit Personnel is available from Bill for, $12.50. Interested persons may contact CLM for more information regardihg this complete manual.

Somewhere alons the line retailcrs of goods and services have lost sight of the fact that there is as much difference between pro{essional credit management and amateur credit management as between professional and amateur accounting.

For management not to realize this is unbelievable.

Wholesoling Productivity Confirmed

The U.S. Census Bureau has officially recognized for the first time the o'value added" concept of wholesaling which has long been advanced by the National.American Wholesale Lumber Association,

J. J. Mulrooney of NAWLA reports that the Census Bureau has published advance results of a survey of value added to goods by merchant wholesalers.

"Some people have had difficulty recognizing that a lumber wholesaler actually makes a given quantity of lumber worth more at the buyer's end than it was at the manufacturer's end of the distribution process by virtue of his ability to put the product at the right place at the right time where demand is greatest, by guaranteeing delivery, by financing the shipment, and by many other services performed," Mulrooney points out. "Measurement of this added value by the Census Bureau for the first time this year gives official government recognition to what we have been saying all along."

Lumbermon Coqches Rink Chomps

The Berkeley Seals juvenile hockey team, coached by Bay Area lumberman Paul Gaboury, brought northern California its first amateur hockey charnpionship at a recent tournament in Squaw Valley.

The Seals, composed of boys under 18, bested the Spokane Americans, the Pacific Northwest champs, by a score of 5-3 and tied the California champion Van Nuys Hawks, 5-5, to win the Robert S. Hannum Championship Trophy awarded on the basis of total goals.

Neither Spokane nor Van Nuys has ever been beaten by an American team, according to Coach Gaboury, who heads up Golden Gate Lumber Co. in Berkeley.

Key play in the tourney came with six minutes to go in the last period with the Berkeley team trailing Van Nuys, 5-3. When Van Nuys received a second penalty, the Seals gambled by pulling their goalie so as to give them a three-skater advantage. They imrnediately scored and with one minute to go team captain John Costello scored again on a breakaway to even it up 5-5.

Building Costs Up 20% by 1970

Building costs are expected to keep rising at the rate of three percent annually, according to a recent issue of the Insider's Neusletter.

At that rate of increase costs would be 17 to 20 percent higher in 1970 than they are now. Increased wages and machinery costs are reportedly held responsible as the main inflationary factors.

What does this mean? To me, it's an indication that LMA's program has sornething for dealers and associate members who want to see a healthy lumber industry. It's long been said that association membership doesn't cost it pays, and you better believe it!

THE RAPlll rate that new firms are joining LMA oroves the worth of the association's dealer

LMA in the past {ew months has initiated help plans' says Bob' an extended medical plan {or dealers and their employees, introduced a new insurance program for memliers, staged its biggest convention, conducted a most successful glu-lam school and is now conducting an extensive in-yard safety clinic which will have visited 15 cities by June l0th. We have been successful in combating legislation which would seriously affect the mechanic's lien law and are u'atching several other bills very carefully and will oppose them i{ they are not in the interest of the industry.

To get a real {eeling of the expanded activity of LMA vou should sit in my office chair for about an hour some day. I find that when I'm in the office and not out calling on dealers, the phone seems to be ringing constantly-and the purpose is to ask some help of the association which we are pleased to render.

President Charlie Dart has already been in the field visiting members and potential members explaining the above and other activities we have planned.

Naturally, we would like to have the interest and support of as many dealers in northern California as possible. I{ you are not a rnember, consider joining the following firms which now proudly display the LMA emblem:

Deqler's Dollor Income Declines

The recently published 1963 Census of Business revealed the following industry facts: Sales oI lumber and building material dealers totaled $7,022,748,000.

The comparable figure ior l95B was $7.122.631.000 reflecting a decline in sales five years later of approximately $100,000,000. During the same five-year period, thc "number of establishments" in the lumber and building material categorics declined from 34.867 to 28,979.

National Lumber and Buildine Materials Dealer Association executive vice prcsident T. T.

We are presently analyzing these figures with Census officials lor further clarification."

Roilroqd Tunnel Rebuilding Snog

The Northwestern Pacifrc Railroad may have to rebuild the burned-out Puerto Suello tunnel north of San Rafael, after all.

'Ihe tunnel burned and caved-in in 1961. and last year the railroad was ordered to rebuild it rvithin ser.en months by the State Public Ittilities Commission.

A spokesman for the railroad said there u'ould be no decision on the tunnel until the Supreme Court decision can be studied.

WANTED: New Moulding ldeos

A nationwide search Ior outstanding architectural uses of mouldings has lrcen laurrt:ht:d by the Western Wood Nloulding Producers, Warrt'n C. Jimerson, manager of the association rePorrs.

"Revival o[ intercst in usc oI mouldings as a design clemcnt" both exterior and intcrior. has taken the industry completely by surprise," Jimerson states. "Wc are gctting requests lrom all over the r:ountry from dcsigners, architects, magazine editors and consum('rs {or illu,.trations and ideas on how to use mouldiugs."

N{t'mbers of the Western Wood N{oulding Producers Association are lreing asked to poll their own customers in various parts of the countrl- for photographs and leads on good uscs of mould' ings. In addition, the association is actually dcsigning and photographing dozens of new moulding ideas showing how to use mouldings in decorating a wall, doors, cntrancc ways, etc.

Immediate plans call for production of a color{ul booklet showing a large number of ideas on how mouldings r,an improve the appearanoe of homes, offices, etc. The Western Wood Products Association, whose members supply a large percentage of the lumber used in moulding production, will produce the booklet and distribute it nationwide. ln addition, WWPA will run national consumer and trade magazine advertisements sholving how mouldings can ,be uscd and ofiering thc booklet.

Backing up the advertising campaign is a publicity effort by the moulding producers' new public relations agency' Lonie Companl, of Portland, Oregon.

Jimerson asked that information on homes or offices which illustrate good architectural or decorating use of mouldings be sent to Western Wood N[oulding Producers, 2041 S. W' s8th Ar.enue, Portland, Oregon.

"The almost universal interest in moulding information and design ideas has caught our industry ofi balanoe," Jimerson re' ports. "As a result, we have undertaken a program to produce and supply information in printed form and through publicitv articles in national consumer magazines."

Remodeling Outlook Still Bullish

Remodeling business entlusiasm is still running high for 1965 according to a National Home Improvement Council newsletter. The letter quotes two industry experts and some recent federal government actions as indicators for their favorable prophecy. Says industry economist Walter E. Hoadley, vice president of the Armstrong Cork Company, in the NHIC report: "Aided by rising incomes and rapid obsolescence, horne improvement activity once again is expected to achieve significant gains and represents an impressive area of expanded opportunity in 1965." Marketing consultant Seymour Kroll reports: 'oAt least for the first half of the year the economy has been strong. And with a continuing high level of employment, people will have the money to spend to fix-up their homes."

Other indications of good times for home improvement indicated were: House and Home Finance Agency has a fund of $50 million for rehabilitation in urban renewal areas. The fund is for making three percent long-term loans up to $10,000 per dwelling. The long near-dormant 203(k) program (rernodeling loans up to $10,000) has been liberalized. There may be a large scale test of 203(k) in a mid-western city this spring. If successful, it could cause a 203(k) boom.

In addition, there's increased emphasis on remodeling loans. Newspapers are printing more positive publicity about remodeling. Even the government is advertising home improvements' benefits on radio and TV. And not the least importanta new remodeling industry is emerging. The blue-suede shoe type is {ast disappearing, to be replaced by the responsible businessman who is ready to do an honest job at fair rates with quality materials. Consequently, home owner fears about fixing-up their houses is evaporating and more remodeling work is being ordered. Mav this vear be the best year you've ever had!

S. W. Antoville, chairman of the board of U. S. Plywood, New York, and F. P. Lowrey, president of. Lewers & Cooke, ll3-yearold Hawaiian building materials and construction firm, made the joint announcement.

"We at U. S. Plywood are happy to have Fred Lowrey and his management team intact," Antoville said, o'No changes are planned in the historic Lewers & Cooke name or operations."

Lowrey said, 'oW'e are very pleased to become part of the U. S. Plywood organization which will enhance our growth opportunities. Ve also are most gratified that Lewers & Cooke shareholders approved the plan recommended by both boards of directors."

Lumber, Porticleboord Production

Lumber production last year, at 35.4 billion board feet, was up 2.5 percent over 1963, despite fourth quarter weakness, according to year-end figures just released. Shipments gained 3.4 percent; consumption, 2.4 percent. Both production and shipments are expected to increase in 1965.

Particleboard production jumped 20 percent last year to 593 million square feet and another l5 percent increase appears likely for 1965. The Commerce Department attributes the gains to "wide acceptance" of particleboard by furniture, plastic larninating and home construction industries.

Redwood Sqles Hints

It's summer and the longer days of Daylight Saving Time are here again. All it takes is a few days of warm sunshine, after the long winter's rains, to set the homeowner to planning for home improvements. And what project is easier to start with than a redwood fence or deck or garden shelter.

Don't wait for them to come to you for ideas-carry the ball to them with a promotion campaign of mailings, advertisements in the local newspaper, ofiers of assistance to the home and garden editors-not forgetting the afternoon programs on local TV and radio-and a good stock of 'oGarden Redwood" grades to choose from.

You can shake that sunimer custorner from his doldrums by making use of the many aids available to you through your local California Redwood Association distributor. Ask him about the garden redwood idea booklets on fences, decks, poolside structures with their companion mailers and free advertising mats. And CRA's Publicity Department has stories, photos and design ideas for the local press, radio and TV.

The stocks of garden redwood lumber are moving out of the Redwood Region. Are you ready to make those early sales?

"II wood fails to meet their needs they look to othcr wood and non-wood substitutes that will seemingly do as good a job, at less cost. Under such conditions, it is important that all oI us do our best to deliver new and more sophisticated wood products of highest qualitv to the market at competitive priccs."

Edgett pointed out that the western lumber industry is changing in order to remain compctitive and capturt: new markets. "Our industry is investing money and talent in the ever continuing -qearch Ior tested systems that wood products u'ill meet

Teco lo Mork SpeciolNoils

Timber Engineering Company (Teco) has announced that it is now marking with a "T" the heads of all special nails used with the tfirm's extensive line of framing anchors and joist hangers,

The move is intended to (1) assist builders in making certain they are using the correct nails, (2) facilitate job inspection by building inspectors and (3) give greater confidence to architects, and engineers that the products they specify will be purchased and used as intended.

Where design loads are predicated on the use of nails in shear, Teco has consistently followed a policy of packing special nails with its fasteners. To effect a lower selling price, some fastener manufacturers leave it to the user to procure nails, which means that there is a strong possibility of the w:nong'size nails being used. Most engineers and architects consider this a risky practice fcr it could lead to the recommended design Ioads not being realized in actual applicatio-n. It is Teco's belief that, in cages where the value of the fastener is dependent upon the nail in shear, the nail should be considered a- p?rt of the product and therefore sup- plied as such by the manufacturer.

A listing and description of nails used *ith Teeo preducts is eontained-in'thofrrrt's free comprehensive L}-page catatog.

Each display contains twenty cartridges -four each of five difrerent sealants. Spouting Seal, an aluminum colored nitrile rubber sealant; tsedding Seal, butadiene rubber aluminum mastic cement; Permanent Sealer, no-sag. nitrile aluminum sealant; Flashing Seal, a nitrile rubber base sealer, and Pan-L-Bond, designed for ap- plying 4'x8' wall panels permanently without nails.

Andrew Milligan, vice president of Power Machinery, the manufacturers of Canadien chain saws, explained that this large engine, unique in the lightweight field, was designed into the saw in order to provide all the characteristics of a production saw at a size, weight and price usually associated with casual units.

A sauna basically is a wood-paneled, insulated room with a wooden bench and a special tylle of heater used to take the temperature up to 175 degrees or higher. Unlike a steam bath, the humidity in a sauna room is extremely low-the air is dry and comfortable, allowing the occupants to perspire freely. The efrect of this intdnsely dry heat is to relax tense muscles and speed circulation,

Saunas now are to be found in most health and swim clubs, and are becoming commonplace in hotels, motels, ski resorts, and even private homes. The recent advent of compact, low-cost domestic sauna heaters has placed the home sauna room well within the financial reach of most families. And, the basic simplicity of design of a sauna makes it a practical project for the home handyman of average skill.

"Frosty Oak" is the latest addition to Getz Bros. & Company's Beauti-Grain, VGrooved, prefinished paneling line. "Frosty"

The exclusive Getz BeautiGrain nrefinished process employs 100 percent Fnnip- pine rnahogany plywood stock and is said to be unique in a number of ways. "For one thing," according ta a Getz spoke-sman, ,,our process combines the natural warmth of Lauan with a dominant grain pattern, such as oak or walnut. The end result is a vibnant grain effect with all of the true wood character people want." He added that, "since the cost is just above that for prefinished Lauan, we feel it represents a remarkable value."

Nqils Thqt Act Hke Screws

Builders, homeowners, industrial maintenance men seeking quality find the new Hillwood nails and drive screws ofrer advantages in driving-speed and holding power that cannot be matched by ordinary nails.

The big reason is that these nails act like screws, except you don't .make them enter the wood with a screw-driver-just a steady tap of a hammer.

Hillwood's Helyx drive screw, for example is a completely different type of threaded nail with the thread running from the point to head'ivith a uniform dimension throughout. It differs from conventional threaded nails which have a thread diameter larger than the shank. When these conventional nails are driven, a hole is created larger

Offers Driving Speed and Holding Power than the nail shank. 'When pounded home, the head alone is the support. A Helyx

drive screw length. Hillwood's

locks tightly throughout its nails and drive screws are

achieving wide acceptance because of their tremendous holding power. Their continuous thread loeks into the wood fibers like a screw, first the top board, then the board beneath. Before the boards can be forced apart, it is necessary to rupture-break ofr the wood fibers before the nail can be withdrawn.

These nails are used for a wide variety of purposes. ,Squeeky hardwood floors can be made silent if the nails are used according to the manufacturer's specification. Hillwood drive screws are used to install siding, wall boards and in numerous general building and maintenance activites as well as pallet construction. They are used instead of common nails when quahW and durability and holding power are factors.

It destroyeth my initiative: yea, tho I walk through the valley of laziness and deficit spending, I will fear no evil, for Government is with me.

Its doles and its vote-getters, they comfort me. It prepareth an Utopia for me by appropriating the earnings of many gtandchildren.

It filleth my head with baloney; my inefficiency runneth over. Surely Government shall care for me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in a fool's paradise forever.

Yes. Bonanza is a sevcn-day a wt'ek operation. 'Ihe store is open and fully staffed 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. cach rveekday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturdays, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each Sunday.

"I never would have believed it before."

t{itchcll told us, "but I've actually had men and wom('n comc up to me on the floor and thank us {or coming into the Camplrell area with Bonanza."

Standins back for an ovt'rall look we'd say that Bortunro Home Center is just about as close as Mr. Sears evt,-r got to N[r. Iloebuck and that was a pretty good combination too!

OBITUARIEg

Harry B. Gamerston, veteran San Francisco lumberman and president of Gamerston & Green Lumber Co., died in Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City, May 10, following a short confinement. He was ?6.

A native of Chico, California, Mr. Gamerston started his lumber career in the early 20's with the old J. R. Hanify Co., at 110 Market St. in San Francisco. He later formed a partnership with Eugene de Reynier to operate a brokerage business under the name of Reynier Lumber Company at 112 Market St. This partnership

was dissolved in 1932, when Mr. Gamerston and Lu Gieen formed Gamerston & Green Lumber Co, operating as lumber brokers {hd later as jobbers at 1800 Army St. in San Francisco. Shortly following WWII, the firm acquired the sit€ of its present Oakland yard and in L947, it was incorporated and the purchase of its current San Francisco site was made.

He leaves his widow, Elinor, of their 164 'Winding Way, San Carlos home; a son, John W. Gamerston of San Carlos; a daughter, Sister Mary John of the Sisters of the Presentation; and several grandchildren.

John Pinnell, superintendent of Angelus Hardwood Co. in Los Anleles died April 30 in a Long Beach hospital after a lingering illness.

Starting in the lumber business in the Harbor area some years ago, Mr. Pinnell was a true lumberman and knew every phase of the business. After leaving the Harbor he worked for the Los dngeles Cooperage Co, in Vernon. IIe also ran their entire mill operation in northern California for a number of years.

In 1952 he joined Angelus Hardwood Co. as their yard superintendent as well as running the mill phase of the operation.
