Col-Vef Home Loqn Act Periled

Sacramento-An Assembly Veterans Affairs committee, headed by Assemblyman William F. Marsh, (R., L.A.) is rvorking on a measure to relieve the deluge of applications to refinance loans u.hicl.r last month threatened to torpedo the California Veteran's Farm and Flome Loan Purchase act. The volume has been so heavy recently that the $5,000,000 bond issue could be exhausted by next year, it u'as said. Early last month there were 25,000 loan applications on file and more flooding in at 8,0@ a month, of which 75/c u'ere for refinancing of existing GI and FHA loans.

The subcommittee had a bill before it by Assemblyman Bradley (R., San Jose) to repeal the refinancing section of the Cal-Vet act and limit the program to loans for new homes.

THE SAN DIEGO LUMBER INDUSTRY has 16 teams participating in a bowling league sponsored by San Diego Hoo-Hoo Club 3. Th,e photos on this page were taken at the league's annual bowling banquet, which was held this year at Michael's in Lemon Grove on April 26.

To be able to bowl in this league, requirements are employment in the local lumber industry or membership in Hoo-Hoo. League President Dale D. Titterington, of the Airline Lumber Company in San Diego, says he believes this may be the only bowling league sponsored by a club in the International Concatenated Order.

The league has created very good fellowship between lumberyards in San Diego, Dealer Titterington reports. This year Sullivan Hardwood Lumber Co. took the honors for hrst place, Airline Lumber Company took second, and Home Lumber Company was in third place. Paul Randell of Baker Hardwood Lumber Co. is Secretary-treasurer of the league.

He reviewed a survey conducted by their company's salesmen on the value placed by the manufacturer on the wholesale distributor and the need for continued "hard sell" by the distributor to the retail dealer.

Four panel discussions were held Friday morning for the wholesale distributors attending the meeting, covering Lumber and Millwork Products, Roofing and Insulation Board Products, Steel and Wire Products, and Sales and Merchandising.

Several recommendations were made during these panel discussions, among them that NBMDA contact the American Association of Railroads to recommend as many double-door cars be put into service as possible in order to expedite mechanical loading and unloading. Several recommendations were also discussed regarding merchandising policies of the major commodity manufacturers concerned. Seventy-five lvives of members also attended the meeting and enjoyed a two day program.

S. M. Van Kirk, general manager of NBMDA, in reporting on the activities of the association since the previous meeting, mentioned that membership was rapidly approaching the 3O0-warehouse mark, and that the increased membership indicated that the association was aggressively promoting the importance of the wholesale distributor to both the manufacturer and the retail dealer.

In bringing the general meeting to a close, Chairman Gordon Hampton announced that the annual fall meeting of the essociation lvould be held at the Sheraton hotel in Chigago, on November 10-13.
