"SERVICE is our poromount stock-in-trqde"

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.

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ears, and by Wednesday tle scheduled hearings on the bill were cancelled, although at this writing it has yet to be withdrawn from the hopper.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.

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

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.
