Arizono Deolers Soqk Up Informotion Like Sunshine qt the 1958 Annuql in Prescott

By Gus R. MICHAEIS Secrefory

- Monogat, Arizonq Reroil Lumber & Builders Supply Associqtion

As usual, our program featured golf every morning. It seemed as if everyone, including the ladies, played at the neat and sporty Antelope Hill Golf Course. The committee included Aram X{ardian, Chairman; Jim Brown, George Rotl-rfuss, Knox Corbett and George Ross and they did a bang-up job. Hamp Auld, Pro at the club, was praised by all for the wonderful cooperation given them. The Woodpecker is now in the Dossession of Harold Britt.

- On Thursday afternbon at 2:00 p.m.. the convention was called to order by President Nlarvin Smith. The invocation was given by Reverend A. H. Leerssen of the First I-utheran Church and a solendid adclress of welcome was made by Mayor George Ireland, who gave us stickers to avoid traffic violations. The response was made by Howard Beals, Vice-President of the Association.

Sam Beecroft proposed that three wires be sent to members of the Association who have tl-rrough the years contributed so much to the success of the organization, and who, along with their wives, are missed at tl-ris meetir.rg because of illness. These wires were sellt to John G. O'Malley, Sr., John H. \\rood, \Villiam C. "8i11" Beal. A minute of silent Drayer was also observecl out of respect for our long-time -clirector. Adolph Schwarz, who died June 15,1957.

Robert F. Dewey, Vice-President and Senior Trust Offi-

cer of the First National Bank in Phoenix, then addressed the session on "Nfoney Preservation For You ancl Your Family-Not the Tax Collector." Those present were impressed. Two dealers told me they were going to check with their lawyer right away and one rvife gave me fits. From what her husband told her she thought I should have insisted on all of the ladies attending. Let's don't be grim about these things, but Bob pointed out in five or six examples horv your wife can have from $8,000 to $10,000 more if you get your lawyer to fix your will right. You can't take it with you. Better check now.

President l\,Iarvin Smith then introduced Chet Nortz, Secretary-Manager of the Intermountain Lumber Dealers Association in Salt Lake City. He is a most unusual fellow, who is operator of a small chain of retail yards, owner of a plan service, a collection ag'ency, and a saving and loan association. Chet, as moderator of the panel, "Realistic Pricing for Profit," introduced his panel as follows :

Dean Drake, Tempe operator of a medium sized yard, a fellow who isn't afraid of so-called cash 'n carrv comDetition. He beats them with l-righer quality, higher piiced material. If you are faced u'ith this problem, Dean will give you the dope and a lift.

Tom Fleetham of Willcox sooke for the so-called small country boy. 1r\rell, he isn't so shall,'but he does know how to cultivate and make friends with his country folks. Up at 6:00 a.m., he handles what they need-plumbing, electrical supplies, hardware-a real building supply outlet.

Harold Britt of Phoenix is a really big operator who watches his costs and knows what they are. lle depends on turn-over. This operation requires an inventory every mor.rth, accnrate knowledge of costs, and no lost motion in material handling.

In summarizing the pricing problem, Chet pointed out tlrat in 1950 the lumber dealer had 26.2c/c of the building material volume, but in 1956 this had shrunk to 19/o. Some of the reasons for this char.rge are :

( 1) New type of customers-more wolren, lower unit sales.

(2) Large increase in the number of commodities sold.

(3) l'{ore service is required.

All of the aforementioned require careful analyzation ol your own business so as to adjust it to changing times. It cost one dealer $1.00 to make out a ticket;another stays open six days a rveek; another opens at 6:00 a.m. ; another closes once a week at 9:00 p.m. with other retail establishments.

\ rith Chet asking the cluestions and these boys giving the answers, plus plenty of inquiries from the floor, this one and one-half hours went by pretty fast. Sure wish all

of you could have been on hand. Will have something similar to it for you again next year.

At 7:39 p.m. a state Hoo-Hoo Concat was held, with Don Bufkin, Custocatian of the Supreme.Nine, Alhambra, California, in attendance. Arrangements were handled by Martin Wist, State Deputy, and John Trent, Vicegerent Snark. The team l-rad mernbers from all three Arizona Clubs- Tucson, Northern Arizona, and Salt River Valley. Thirteen kittens became cats and four old toms were reinstated. Three of the kittens were from Northern Arizona.

Friday at 2:OO p.m. the meeting was called to order by President Marvin Smith. Before introduction of the first speaker, the following telegram from Mr. McCoy, Secretary of the Interstate Commerce Commission, was read:

"The Commission by its board of suspension today concluded not to suspencl protested lumber rates, supplement 88 of Pacific South Coast Freight I.C.C. 1536-1533."

The first address on the Friday program was entitled "Exclusively With Lumber Dealers" and was made by Richard Anderson of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association. As one dealer put it, "I'd sure like to have that guy as a salesman. He has the salesmanship ability of Billy Graham with a complete knowledge of his product." Dick brought slides and complete information on the ten new Choate homes designed for his association. Plans are available through National Plan Service. He also showed the dealers available eye-catching store displays ; literature for the individual customer, contractor and smaller type material to be used as mailing pieces. On the side, he told me that complete dope on the box truss was two or three weeks away, but that he would send it just as soon as it is available.

President Smith then introduced Joseph P. Ralston, attorney from the firm of Ryley, Carlock, and Ralston of Phoenix, who spoke to the dealers on "How Much Law Should You Know?" Joe pointed out the increasing importance of law in our business, shorving those present pamphlets from more than ten government agencies who il olg way or another tell you what you can-and cannot do. He also pointed out that you should be acquainted with your own city and county laws, any or all of which may directly affect the operations of your business or in- jure business in general in your community. All of this plus your own experience indicates that this is a complex business. It is impossible for you to know enough law and it is best to carefully choose vour own lawver and have him available to you w-hen needed.

Since coming back home I have had numerous calls for a

copy of Joe's talk. (Editor's note: This has been received and highlights of the rousing message will be printed 7/1.)

Joe also recommended that the association make available to the membership an outline of proper procedures under Arizona Lien Law. This also developed into questions with regard to a case norv under consideration. Wl-rere the speculative builder buys acreage on which to build, but title to the land remains with the original owner until finally released, making lien rights doubtful. Within a week or two I will develop a complete report to you on this.

It was also pointed out that Arizona should have a "small claims court." I will also gather information on this and report to you shortly.

Next, President Smith introduced Jerry Kelleher, Labor Consultant for the Association, who spoke briefly on recent rulings by the l{.I-.R.B. on hiring hall provisions in certain labor contracts and on recent ruling by the Wage & Hour Division on "White Collar Workers." Inasmuch as each situation is peculiar to the individual establishment, Jerry told them he would be available to discuss their problems.

Generally, it is hard to get BO or 90 dealers to sit through everl a fifteen-minute movie showing "Mickey Mouse," but last year Frank Parker and United States Gypsum showed us "Profit Management" and supplied us with a text. That picture ran forty minutes and many came back for seconds. This year "The Economy of Motion" is just as good and a little longer. The tert is splendid. You can have it at your own yard by contacting Frank and I know you will want it, so will not give any more details.

At 6:30 p.m. or a little later, everyone gathered at the Hassayampa Country Club. N{ost everyone got lost going out and some were lost coming back, but it was fun anyway. Those folks from the L.D.S. Church sure know how to prepare a barbecue. The location was beautiful. The country club made its facilities available and dancing lasted until a bearing burned out on the juke box.

Saturday, President Smith called the meeting to order and first called for reports of committees.

Howard Beals, chairman of the Time & Place committee, reported that everyone was so pleased with Prescott that \r'e would return on XIay 14-75-16, 1959. This report was unanimously adopted.

President Marvin Smith next introduced Leo C. Bailev. manager of the Southwest office of Stanford Research Institute, who addressed the membership on "Arizona Outlook." Mr. Bailey gave a very comprehinsive outline of the expected growth of the United States up to the year 1975, (Continued on Page 75)

"Babe,that therc's x'hat I carl a SOAND FOANDATION! " observed Paul Bunyan as he delicately lifted up the old house with his pinkie. The Blue Ox grunted. "See them mudsills, girders an' posts? Been settin' there 25 years in the damp an' dark, supportin' 50,000 pounds o' house-an' not a trace o' rot or termites anywhere. Sound as the day they was cut...Babe, sure as you're true blue, that's BAXCO Pressure Treated Foundation Lumben$."

BAXCO pressure treated FOUNDATION LUMBER

*Wtat else, Paul? For the past 2) years

BAXCO pressure treated Foundation Lumber has been safeguarding thousands of lJfestern hornes against termites and wood-rot. Pressure treatment locks in the chemical protection for keeps. . . And when you 6gure, Paul, that just

one repair bill, caused by rot or termites, can run into hundreds of dollars-well, why take a chance ? Especially since BAXCO Pressure Treated Foundation Lumber adds so little to the total building cost-just a few dollars.

To live so that you will be loved is a fine art. Moreover, it is the soul of salesmanship. *

Dr. Stanley E. Hall used to say: "We do not stop playing because we grow old, but grow old because we stop playing."

From the Sanskrit: "Yesterday is a dream, and tomorrow is a vision, but today, well-lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefoT, ao* this day."

There is a Chinese proverb that says: "There are two kinds of men: those who do their best today, and forget about it; and those who promise to do their best tomorrow -and forget about it." * * *

'"Yesterday," said a modern philosopher, "is a cancelled check; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is a golden opportunity." ***

John Truslow Adams wrote about an explorer who once attempted a forced march on the upper Amazon River. For days they traveled fast. Then one day the natives refused to budge. "They are waiting," said their chief, "until their souls have caught up with their bodies."

"IJnless we perform divine service," said John Ruskin, "with every willing act of our lives, then we never perform it at all." ***

The preacher solemnly quoted, "The meek shall inherit the earth," and little Mister Milquetoast jumped to his feet and shouted: "The lnrn: it's in neqT-q7tre wants it?"

Thomas Dreier wrote about a sun dial he heard about in ltaly. On the dial was printed the philosophy: "Every hour hurts you. The last*one*kills you."

On an outside wall of the Claypool hotel in Indianapolis there is a bronze tablet placed there for posterity to read, on which are engraved the words that Abe Lincoln spoke on that very spot back in 1861, when he was on the way to Washington to be inaugurated as President:

"I appeal to you to constantly bear in mind that not with politicians, not with Presidents, and not with office seekers, but with YOU is the question: Shall the Union and shall the liberties of this country be preserved to the latest generations ?"

And well should we, remember another memorable remark by Lincoln. He was asked at what point Americans might expect national danger, and he said: "If it reaches

United Nations, N. Y.-There are 90 persons now born into the world every minute, according to U. N. statistics revealed June 1. The U. N.'s 1957 Demographic Yearbook predicts the world's present population will exactly double in 40 years. The current death rate was estimated by U. N. statisticians at 18 per 1,000 persons, and the birth rate at 34.

Honesty is a relative quality. Your parents may have thought poker playing was wrong. However, they could probably do nothing to keep you from trying to fill a straight. What they WERE responsible for, however, is how you try to fill it-from the bottom of the deck, or the top. The apple never falls far*from the tree.

If you are inclined to wonder whether or not a story or joke is new or old, you might recall the opinion expressed by the great Englishman, Dr. Johnson, that "If a story is good, it is unlikely to be new, and if it is new it is not likely to be good." ***

Tommy Gibbons, a famous boxer, and also a famous worker in the field of boy's activities, used to say to fathers: "it is a lot better to go hunting WITH your boy, than to go hunting FOR*him." *

Another noted worker in the tield of boy's activities was a Salvation Army musician, who said: "If you teach a boy to blow a horn, he won't blow a safe."

The unemployed used car salesman was asked why he lost his job, and he related that when a prospective customer said to him, "I'd like to see a good used car," he replied: "Boy ! So would I !" * *

Sign seen on a drug store mirror: "Hangover Special, ten grains aspirin, three cups black coffee, one glass tomato juice, two raw eggs, and*oursympathy. Price 85 cents."

ft was Leo Tolstoi who wrote: "The powerful means for achieving true happiness in life is-and without any dogma -to spread out from one's self in every direction, like a spider, a whole spider's web of love, and to catch in it everything that comes along, whether it's an old woman, a child, a girl or a policeman." *

"Life is easier to take than you think," wrote the gifted Kathleen Norris. "All that is necessary is to accept the impossible, do without the indispensible, and bear the intolerable."

Ross Beall, general manager of Tahoe Forest Products Co., West Sacramento lumber rvholesale firm. announces the appointment of his organization as exclusive distributors in California for the Morgan Company, Oshkosh, Wisconsin, woodwork manufacturers. Distribution. sales and marketing will be effected through a subsidiary organization, Tahoe Millwork Co., also of West Sacramento.

"!l/e feel that we are meeting a real need of the building industry in making high quality Morgan woodwork available for the first time in the West."

Mr. Beall declared. "Distribution will be handled from two well-stocked warehouses, one in Sacramento and an additional warehouse in Los Angeles."

Henry M. Alsaker (right), former western sales representative for the Paine Lumber Co., Ltd., has been named manager of Tahoe Millwork Co. Since 1954 he has established jobbers for the Paine Co. in the three Pacific states. Prior to joining Paine, he was connected with L. J. Carr & Co. of Sacramento.

Mr. Alsaker grew up in the lumber mill business in Potlatch, Idaho, and in his youth was employed in various sawmill jobs for the Potlatch Forest Products Co. He attended grade school and high school in Potlatch, and the University of Idaho. He was born in Norway.

Mr. Alsaker states that the organization is interviewing retail lumber dealers in all principal cities in California, and appointments will be announced shortly. Morgan woodwork is sold exclusively through retail lumber dealers, and this has been a consistent policy of the company throughout the years.

With the appointment of Tahoe Millwork Co. to distribute its extensive list of products, Morgan Co. makes its first appearance in these three Western states. The sprawl-

Tahoe Forest Products Co., Sacramento. has set uo a subsidiary, Tahoe Millwork Co., with warehouses in Sairamento and Los Angeles, to handle sales, advertising and merchandising of the 35-product, famous old (103 years) Morgan Woodwork line . . Henry M. Alsaker, named manager of the operation, impresses those who have met him as a very ab1e, wellacquainted and well-liked man

T,he Morgan line, now ,being' offered dealers for the first time in this state, will be presented exclusively to leading retail lnrmber dealers, and to kitchen specialty firms for the catrinet line This is newsworthy in a day when many national manufacturers are bringing in chain stores, hardware stores and other outlets to replace or supplement the lumberyard store. It is a Morgan policy of long standing and will be adhered to in this new territory

Woodwork Institute Hits High Points in L.A. lleet

Perry Acuft of Western Lumber Company of San Diego was elected president of the Woodwork Institute of California at the group's general membership meeting held in the Statler Hilton hotel, I-os Angeles, May 9. Jack Little of Union Planing Mill, Stockton, was elected first vicepresident; Ray Dreps, Watson-Dreps Mill and Cabinet Co., El Monte, second-vice-president, and Rex Sporleder, Hollenbeck-Bush, Fresno, was elected treasurer. Bernard B. Barbor, Jr., Fresno, is the secretary.

Following the luncheon, retiring President Jim Pierce reviewed the activities of the Woodwork Institute during the past year, and Secretary Barber, Jr., reviewed the financial highlights of the past two years, noting that the WIC's financial condition was improving.

Sherry Karns, chairman of the WIC Technical committee, reported on the activities of his committee during the year and advised that in its opinion there was considerable work to be done in the future regarding quality control of manufactured millwork.

President Pierce then turned his gavel of office over to President-elect Acuff, who presided over the balance of the meeting.

R. Redmond Coghlan, architect and president of the Southern Californii Chapter of C.S.I., National Director of C.S.I., National Chairman. Technical Research committee of C.S.I., gave a very enlightening discussion on why quality control of millwork is necessary from an architectts viewpoint.

Richard Anderson, regional manager of the Douglas Fir Plywood As_sociation, Jhowed slidef and gave a iery interesting talk on what the D.F.P.A. is doing about inspec- tion and quality control of the plywood thit the member mills manufacture.

Harold Ford, vice-president of American Forest Products and past president of Ponderosa Pine Woodwork, delivered a very interesting discussion regarding quality control of manufactured products and the necessity of maintaining and improving manufactured products if woodwork is to retain its place in the construction field and not lose to competitive products.

Bob Herbst, assistant manager, Ponderosa Pine Woodwork, and director of American Wood Window Institute Program sponsored by Ponderosa Pine Woodwork, showed some very interesting slides and led a discussion on the American Wood Window Institute's Seal of Approval program and explained how the promotion of the A.W.W.I. was working in the midwest. He went into detail on the promotional efforts they are using to try and improve the quality of wood windows and also get the builders interested once again in using wood windows.

George F. Lamb, the new Architectural Services director for Woodwork Institute, was introduced and gave a brief outline of the goals and objectives he has set for his department, among which will be to continue to educate the architects in the proper use of the Manual of Millwork as prepared by the Woodwork Institute and to strive for a quality control program.

Following Mr. Lamb's talk a reception was held in the hotel and the 1958 Southern Membership Meeting adjourned.

An excellent turnout of members, as the accompanying pictures will prove, was on hand for the annual meeting. A cocktail party, where the members were shown displays of the activities of the Woodwork Institute during the year, preceded the luncheon meeting in the hotel's Garden Room. Also displayed were the various WIC grades of finish lumber and doors.

A Quick Follow-Up

One of history's great stories of Selling is that of the quick-thinking private in the French army and the great Napoleon.

L. A. Hifs New Building Record

Building construction in the city of Los Angeles hit a high mark for any month of May with a total of. $64,256,539 last month. It was also the second largest monthly total ever recorded. It was a gain of $22 million over this April and more than $12 million above \t[.ay 1957, reported Gilbert E. Morris, general manager of the Building and Safety Department. However, the record figure was mainly reached with the issue of one building permit for $23,000,000-for the new county administration building.

Since the first of the year, 24,175 permits have been issued at $252,451,536, which compares to 27,622 at $229,513,885 in last year's same span.

Los Angeles County did not fare as well during May. It issued 3639 permits, compared to 3528 in April, but the May valuation was $25,065,953, compared to $27,725,986 in April. The county's May 1957 figures werc 4444 permits at $32,712,638.

One day when the Emperor was reviewing his troops, the horse he was riding became scared and ran, with Napoleon powerless to stop him.

A private darted from the ranks, grasped the bridle of the horse as one who knew how, quickly subdued the animal and brought him to a stop. He handed the reins to Napoleon and saluted.

"Thank you, CAPTAIN !" said the Emperor.

Quick as thought the young man asked, "Of what regiment, Sire?"

And promptly Napoleon replied: "The Old Guard."

And thus the sale was made, and the smart young soldier had the right name on the dotted line.

Dowson Joins Sierro Mills

Ed Holloran, general manager of Sierra Mountain Mills, North San Juan, California, announces that Harry G. Dowson has been appointed sales manager for the company. Mr. Dowson, formerly of Medford, Oregon, was sales manager for the Medford Corporation there a number of years. Subsequently he operated his own mills and wholesale companies under the name of Southern Orqon Planing Mill and Rogue Lumber Sales Company.

The Wise tlr. Coolidge

It requires no'great power of prophecy to be able to predict that the time will surely come when the American people-its thinking portion at least-will recognize that the quiet little Calvin Coolidge, late president of the United States, was in truth and in fact a splendid philosopher. Just as one sample of his surprising wisdom, consider the following from Mr. Coolidge:

"'We do not need more material development, we need more spiritual development. We do not need more intellectual power, we need more moral power. We do not need more knowledge, we need more character. We do not need more government, we need more culture. We do not need more law, we need more religion. ![fe do not need more

HATTY

of the things that are seenr we need more of the things that are unseen.

"There is in the people themselves the power to put forth great men. There is in the soul of the nation a reserve for responding to the call of high ideals, to nobility of action, which has never yet been put forth. There is no problem so great but that somewhere a man is being raised to meet it."

Those paragraphs alone have sufficient quality and depth to make a man famous as a thinker. And Mr. Coolidge wrote many such.

Nolioncrl Home Week's I Orh Yeor ToBeObserved Sept. 6-14

National Home Week, the nation's biggest observance of new home ownership, will celebrate its l0th anniversary, September 6-14 this year, Nels G. Severin, San Diego, president of the National Association of Home Builders, has announced. The nation-wide event, shared by home builders, manirfacturers, suppliers and others in the homebuilding industry, has been staged by the NAHB each year since 1948. Approximately 10,000 new homes, incorporating the newest ideas in home design, will be on display throughout the country this year. They are expected to be seen by upwards of 10,000,000 people.

Purpose of the Week is to provide practical education for the public on homebuilding, and to demonstrate the newest and best in homes in all orice classes. The Week takes two

forms. In a standard National Home Week, exhibit houses are opened throughout metropolitan and city areas. In a Parade of Homes, the exhibit houses are built side-by-side on one street where all of them can convenientlv be inspected at one time.

"This year's 10th anniversary of National Home Week will show the people of the United States the finest houses in the world. With the intense public interest in new homes we expect record-breaking turn-outs everywhere," said Severin.

Special plans by manufacturers and distributors of materials and equipment going into new homes are expected to be devoted this year to the Week. These will take the form of national advertising, TV and radio broadcasts and other special promotions, making NHW one of the biggest business observances on record.

Forest Products Lqb Develops Durqble Nqturol Wood Finish

A durable natural finish for wood house siding has been developed by the Forest Products L,aboratory at Madison, Wis., announces the U. S. Department of Agricuiture. With natural finishes being used on an increasing number of houses, requests came to the Forest Service's Forest Products Laboratory for information about the most durable finish. Most of thoie on the market last only a year.

The Forest Products Laboratory, which has studied natural finishes for 10 years, developed one which will last four years. It is classed as a modified stain and is particularly good for such sidings as western red cedar, redwood, or Philippine mahogany.

The stain is made up of 3 gallons of boiled linseed oil, 1 gallon of turnpentine or paint thinner, 1 pint burnt sienna color-in-oil, 1 pint raw umber color-in-oil, I pound paraffin wax, f gallon penta concentrate 10:1, and 2 ounces zinc stearate. Extreme caution must be used in preparing the formula. While the homeowner can do it if he uses c:rre it might be better to have a painter prepare the mixture. Some companies include the finish in their regular lines, and some will make it upon request.

The color on the finish can be varied by changing the proportion of the coloi-in-oil. A single application of the finish is recommended. More firay cause a spotchy appearance. On a smooth surface a gallon will cover 400 to 500 square feet. On a rough surface a gallon will cover half that amount.

finish longer before giving it unqualified recommendation, word of its excellent performance on tests to date has filtered through the paint indusiry and brought many requests for the formula.

The finish has drawbacks. It dries slowly, taking one full day of good drying weather. Also, because it contains wax, the finish is hard to paint over.

fox Lien legislotion of Benefit to lumber Deqlers Pending in Gongress

Further support of legislation to require the Federal government to file notice of tax liens before such liens can become valid as against mechanic's liens, has come in the form of an amendment to the pending'tax bill, H.R. 8381, proposed by Senator Carl Curtis of Nebraska.

In urging Senate Finance Committee Chairman Harry F. Byrd to give favorable consideration to his arnendment, Senator Curtis quoted from testimony given before the House Ways and Means committee by John H. Else, legislative counsel of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association. as follows:

"For a number of years lumber dealers, mechanics and others who furnish materials or labor to improve real property have been confronted with the fact that notice. of a lien for Federal taxes does not have to be filed to be valid as against mechanics' or materialmens'

liens.

"As a result, there is no way for a firm or person furnishing material or labor to improve a property to determine, from public records, the existence of a Federal tax lien against said property.

"At present, the law requires the government to give notice of a tax lien before such lien becomes valid as against mortgagees, pledgees, purchasers, and judgment creditors. Unfortunately, the same requirement does not exist in the law to require notice of the tax lien as against the holder of a mechanics' or materialmen's lien, although such lienor has, by improving the property, enhanced its value.

"We do not believe that the Congress ever intended that the Federal government should become enriched at the expense of innocent persons who, relying upon public records, and after using diligence to determine the existence of liens, furnish materials to improve the property of another."

Deqler Cuts[u-Re-Go Flooring Applicorion Time By fhree-Fourths

A merger of steel and fir plywood for the flooring system in a Lu-Re-Co home at Batesville, Indiana, resulted in an application time that is 75/o faster than conventional I-u-Re-Co floor construction. Harold W. Steinkamp, a Batesville dealer, has come uD with a combination steel Tunior I Beam and fir plywood flboring system that cuts 56 man hours off the normal construction time. The success of this merger of steel and fir plywood for floor construction is borne out by the fact that Steinkamp figures he saved $140.00 on his first try with the new system.

Steinkamp & Company has a three-pronged operation in Batesville. The company manufactures concrete blocks, operates

TWX: VN2299

a retail lumber yard and utilizes the Lu-Re-Co system of home erection. Steinkamp has been using the Lu-Re-Co system for 2f years. After figuring comparative costs for some time, he decided to try a new system of thick panels of fir plywood over steel beams.

The plywood, is 2.4.t, the lr/s inch thick panel which functions as a combination subflooring and underlayment over supports on 48-inch centers. The steel Junior Beams ate 24-f.eet long and S-inches high.

Sleinkamp's first use of the steel and plywood floor arrangement was in November on a two-bedroom, 960 square foot home in Batesville. Between 7 :30 and 1 1 :15 a.m., five carpenters finished a complete flooring system with the plywood panels applied over the steel Junior Beams. The beams were nine steel Junior I Beams 24-leet long which were framed into pockets

cut into the concrete block foundation. The beams were spaced 48-inches o.c. They spanned the width of the foundation and were supported in thi center by a bearing wall. The beams were braced with lightweight steel bridging, and their ends were imbedded in mortar.

The beams were handled with ease by two men, since they weigh only 156 pounds each. The edge blocking between the beams was 2x4's laid flat, 48-inches o.c. Along the top of the steel beams, 2x4 sleepers were laid flat to present a nailing surface for the 2.4.1 panels. The 2x4 blocking was fastened to the beams by a hardened steel nail which was shot through the 2x4 and the- flange of the I-beam with a Dub-Jobmastei fastening gun manufactured by the Ramset Company of Cleveland, Ohio. The 2x4 sleepers were fastened to the blocking by toe-nailing at the ends.

Then, the carpenters nailed the 2.4.1 panels to by 48-inch grid with the face grain of the panels right angles to the steel beams.

the 48-inch running at

The resulting floor was quite stiff and there was no drumming when several men jumped on the panels to test their stability. Steinkamp says he is "very much pleased" yith the entire operation and adds that he thinks the application time can be cut by at least another three-quarters of an hour when his carpenters gain more experience with the new method. This will cut the total man hours required for the floor construction from 19 to about 16.

Although the combination steel and plywood arrangement was used here with the Lu-Re-Co system, it would, of- course, be equally adaptable to any home design keyed to a four-foot module. The system works equally well on either a crawl space or basement.

_ The_ Junior Beams-an exclusive development of Jones & Laughlin-are the lightest hot-rolled structural steel jvailable. Junior Beams have found widespread acceptance as a structural member for floors and roofs, but this is probably one of the first uses for the beams in conjunction with the Lu-Re-Co system.

The 2.4.1 flooring system was only formally introduced this spring by the western fir plywood industry and has found widespread acceptance when used over wood girders 48-inches o.c.

-The Batesville project indicates 2.4.1 is also highly functional rvhen used on steel supports. The thick panel his ieceived the approval of FHA regional offices in most aleas.

Contractors find that 2.4.1 has many advantages. Construction crews handle fewer pieces, framing goes in taster, the big panels cover 32 square.feet each and go on quickly, a stiffer-flbor is reaiized, and walls are shortened as muih as a foot since beams are framed flush into the foundations. In addition, sub-contractors find it easy to take up the panels for installation of plumbing and heating.

With one panel doirlg the dual job of a subflooring and underlayment, carpeting, tile, oak stripping, or linoleum- can be laid right over the solid panels.

Steinkamp used vinyl plastic tile and wall-to-wall carpeting as finished flooring in the house. Because of the succe., of tf,;i initial operation. he plans to use the steel and plywood com_ bination frequently in other styles of Lu-Re-Co homes.

Uplond Lumber-fflilling Co. Opens Self-Servicq Center

Upland, Calif.-A major addition to the Upland business community was formally opened May 16-17 when the Upland Lumber & Milling Co. held Open House to shgw its new Self-Service Center. The new building on the yard's Euclid avenue location is designed to aid customers in selecting lumber and building materials. The yard's offices are at 199 N. Euclidy with the new building a short distance south.

Harland'P. Horak and Robert Joines are co-owners of the Upland Lumber & Milling Co. Dealer Horak took an active part in planning the new Self-Service Center, while Dealer Joines will be in charge of the Center, directing the new retail unit while Horak continues in the former office.

The new serve-ur-self center is housed in a prefabbed steel building covering 4000 square feet near the old office and retail showroom. The spacious room has been arranged with colorful shelving, display racks, wall racks and wall fixtures to best show the merchandise. Dealer Joines has arranged each piece of stock in individual racks or bins with the sales tag plainly marked.

Manager Joines said the new Center should be a boon to the do-it-yourselfer and home handyman but all types of customers will find the building supplies they need there. A main aim of the operation will be to enable the smallest purchasers to find their exact needs, pay for them and be on their way in a fraction of the time it might take a clerk to be free'to wait on them and tote up the bill.

"\Me hope to make this one of the most complete and convenient sales rooms in this type of business," Joines said. "We have a nice stock of the most-used types of boards and plywood on hand, plus hardware, paint and other fixtures necessary to home construction needs. We know our

old customers will approve of this new store and feel sure they will enjoy its conveniences."

H.l.C.Ups Publicity Borroge

New York-Local dealers and contractors who have not yet become active members of the Home Lnprovement Council have been urged to do so at once, in order to benefit from an unprecedented publicity barrage. Within the next six weeks, every homeowner in America will be exposed to the HIC story-and will want to do business with its local members, Executive Director Don Moore reports. In that period, HIC will be publicized on one network television program, in nine magazines, 1400 newspapers and 1500 radio and TV stations.

Non-members at the local level who want homeowners looking for the HIC membership seal to find it in their establishments can get further information from HIC headquarters, 2 East 54th Street, New York 22. N. Y.

Homemokers Ronk Hqrdwood As the No. I Flooring

Homeowners are wise to specify hardwood floors in a new home-even when decorative plans of the moment call for complete floor covering. That's the opinion of many builders and interior designers, who point out that fine floors of beautifully grained hardwood have inherent value which makes them a sound investment. These experts add that since such floors represent only a small fraction of the total cost of a housg, it is poor economy to omit them.

Homemaker delegates to the recent Congress on Better Living held at Washington, D. C., were of the same opinion. The delegates expressed a definite preference for hardwood floors in most rooms. Hardwood was the favored flooring material even for rooms having complete carpeting.

Advantages of Hardwood

Here is a compilation of reasons cited for the latter choice by the delegates and by building experts:

1. Hardwood provides a firm, smooth base for floor covering-much more substantial than a thin underlayment which might otherwise be used.

2. Particularly in a basementless house with a concrete slab foundation, floors of oak or other hardwood offer added comfort and warmth due to their resiliency and insulating value.

3. You are not committed permanently to complete covering. When the covering becomes worn, the considerable expense of replacing it can be avoided. The beautiful hardwood can be uncovered in a new decorative plan in which area rug's or smaller accent rugs may be used. There is no such freedom of choice in the absence of finish floors.

4. Oak floors increase the buyer appeal and resale value

OAK, BEECH, cnd MAPLE FLOORING Brodley Unil Wood Block Flooring Higgins lominoted Block Flooring Ook Threshold ond Sill Cedor Gloset lining Truck Body Lumber qnd Slokes

of a house. This is an important factor, for if it is decided to sell in a few years, a prospective purchaser may not prefer complete floor covering; or may balk at the expense of replacing worn covevrings. If the house has fine oak floors, these objections vanish.

Mark of Quality

Preferred by about 85/o of all home owners, floors of oak or other handsome hardwood are recognized as a mark of quality building. Their presence reflects favorably on the 6ouse as a whole, tending to indicate that other quality materials have been used in its construction.

As an economy measure, the oak floors can be left unsanded and unfinished if they are to be covered completely. Later, when a subsequent owner decides to take advantage of their beauty by using only partial covering, the finishing operations will bring out their full splendor.

Dinner-Donce by Glub 9

The annual dinner-dance of San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club 9 was held this year at the Villa Chartier in Hillsdale on El Camino Real on April25 and a happy crowd enjoyed three "relaxers" provided by the friendly cocktail hosts, a roast beef or lobster dinner, and dancing to the mellow music of Paul Law and his orchestra. Sur-prizes were awarded the luckier Hoo-Hoo and their ladies.

The Ticket committee this year included John Prime, r:hairman; Harry Hood, Bob Strahl, Bob Kilgore, Ben Ward, Wendell Pacquette, Bovard Shibley, Bob Nelson and Lloyd Hecathorn.

Lumberyord'Westernized'

In line with the general community development plan, the Buena Park Lumber Co. has recently remodeled the side entrance to the retail yard in the heart of town. Its new shake roof overhang and board and batten construction is part of the plan to "westernize" the booming town's entire business district. Jim and Bud Nelson, the young dealers who operate the lumber yard on Grand avenue, were among the first to enter the remodeling project.

Allenby Joins Medco Sqles

Medford, Ore.-Jack Allenby, well-known Northern California lumber salesman, recently of Ukiah, has been named assistant sales manager of the Medford Corporation here, whose annual capacity is 70 million feet. The company's announcement said Allenby's lumber experience includes production and sales in fir and pine and he is expected to fit into his new high sales post with a minimum of adjustment. Russell J. Hogue is general sales manager and Edward C. Nave is sales manager of the Medford Corporation.

Moy Need Thor 'Bounce'

Inglewood, Calif.-La Brea avenue from Tamirack avenue to Centuly boulevard will be beautified with the planting of 43 rubber trees in the center strip of the newly widened highway. The work was started last month under City Forester Albert C. Jarrnan. Six years old at planting, the trees will grow to approximately 3O feet in 15 years.

'Operotion Uptuin' Hoiled

At least 20 plus factors in our economy today point the way to an early recovery-if not immediate upturn-reported General Electric's western region vice-president, C. C. Walker, who has been introducing the company's "Operation IJpturn" program in the West to key G-E managers in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland. Purpose of "Operation lJpturn" is to create jobs and build sales in'58 by accelerating the business upturn by bringing extra values and renewed confidence to customers.

Walker described the limited nature of the recession: the recession has been limited largely to hard goods and allied industries. Other segments of the economy are unaffected or doing better than ever. Personal consumption expenditures were up $4.6 billion in the first quarter, AS compared with the same period of.1957.

The Hoppiest Hesrt

Who drives the horses of the sun Shall lord it but a day; Better the lowly deed were done And kept the humble way. The rust will find the sword of fame, The dust will hide the crown; Aye, none shall nail so high his name Time will not tear it down.

The happiest heart that ever beat Was in some quiet breast That found the common daylight sweet And left to Heaven the rest.

-John Vance Cheney.

Proved He Knew

Said the steamboat pilot: "I've been on this river so long I know where every stump is."

Just then the boat struck a stump and shook from stem to stern. "There !" said the pilot. "There's one of them now."

Music

Music is to me an ethereal rain, an ever-soft distillation, fragrant and liquid and wholesome to the soul, as dew to flowers; an incomprehensible delight, a joy, a voice of mystery that seems to stand on the boundary between the sphere of the senses and the soul, and plead with pure, unrefined human nature to ascend into regions of seraphic, uncontained life.

O wondrous power ! Art thou not the nearest breath of God's own beauty, born to us amid the infinite, whispering gallery of His reconciliation? Type of all love and reconciliation, solvent of hard, contrary elements-blender of soil with soul, and all with the Infinite Harmony.

-John S. Dwight.

A Sure Sign

"I need a holiday," said the pretty cafe cashier, "I'm not looking my best."

"Nonsense," said the manager.

"It isn't nonsense," said the cashier; "Men are beginning to count their change."

Mqrk Twoin Sqid:

"If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the difference between a dog and a man."

The Bulbs Were Bod

A venerable old Scot bought a little radio set and a few days later a friend asked him how he liked it.

He said, "'Well, it's all richt to listen to, but those bulbs are nae so good to read by."

The Code of Confidence

Get the confidence of the public and you will have no difficulty in getting their patronage. Inspire your whole force with the right spirit of service; encourage every sign of the true spirit. Display and advertise your wares so that customers will buy with understanding. Treat them as guests when they come and go, whether they buy or not. Give them all that can be given fairly, on the principle that to him that giveth shall be given. Remember always that the recollection of quality remains long after the price is forgotten. Then your business will prosper as a natural process.-H. G. Selfridge.

The Liille Grey Hole

There's a little grey hole in my vest, It happened in the place that was best; For a hole in the coat or a hole in the pants

Are both of the kind you can see at a glance. But you always can button your coat

And hide all defects in the vest;

So here's to the moth with such knowledge of cloth, Such insight is rare in a pest.

lost Tolent

A great deal of talent is lost in the world for want of a little courage. Every day sends to their grave obscure men whom timidity prevented from making a first effort; who, if they could have been induced to begin, would in all probability have gone great lengths in the career of fame. The fact is that to do anything in the world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can. It n'iil not do to be perpetually calculating risks and adjusting nice chances; it did very well before the Flood, when a man would consult his:friends upon an intended publication for a hundred and fifty years, and live to see his success afterwards; but at present a man waits and doubts and consults his brother and his particular friends till one day he finds he is sixty years old and ttrat he has lost so much time consulting cousins and friends that he has no more time to follow their advice.

New 'Brond Nome' Comperilion Opens

The eleventh annual "Brand Name Retailer-of-the-Year" Competition, sponsored by Brand Names Foundation, and covefing 26 retail classifications, has opened. Building materials dealers with a year-round prograrh of brand advertising, promotion and sales training for manufacturers' advertised brand nzrmes were invited to cornpete for one of the most coveted awards in the retail world.

Stores may make known their candidacy by filling out a simple entry form. There is no entry fee, and the dealer is not initially required to submit samples. Late this year, each store will be requested to send in a "formal" rq>ort on its 1958 brand advertising and promotion. These reports will form the basis for the selection of "Finalists" who then make uf full presentations.

The awards are based primarily on creating consumer awareness of the dealer's basic policy of supplying responsible brands

of the products carried, and the reasons for that policy; effectiveness in educating sales personnel about branded merchandise and why it should be stressed; and effectiveness with which local media are used in advertising. The nelv Competition has been expanded to include a "lIome Builders" category, and the former "Hardware" category has been changed to "HardwareHousewares."

Dome Home Set for Home Show

The current l-os Angeles llome Show received exclusive permission to exhibit a "geodesic" type dome model dwelling whose advocates claim it is the most advanced construction design in the world. The city authorized the structure 25-feet in diameter and 121 feet high with 490-feet of living area for public viewing June 12 through 22, at Pan Pacific Auditorium. It is the first in L. A. city limits and will serve as a testing lab for load and rvind stresses. The dome has no interior supports, requires no carpentry at the site, can be transported by truck and costs approximately one third as much as a conventional building.

Patented by noted designer R. Buckminster Fuller, the dome has been used by military services and as farm storage bins. Walter O'Malley, Brooklyn Dodger President, is said to plan the baseball stadium in Chavez Ravine using a geodesic dome. Geoplex Enterprises, Anaheim, said construction was simply

a matter of putting up 32 sheets of 30 panel duraply sides and bolting them to a concrete floor. Plans were to provide portable foundations. Windows and doors are installed after the sides are up.

WE BELIEVE FINANCIALLY SOUND RAIL LINES REQUIRED BY PACIFIC COAST SHIPPERS CAN ONLY BE MAINTAINED BY PERMITTING THEM TO PUBLISH REDUCED RATES MAKING THEM COMPETITIVE WITH OTHER FORMS OF TRANSPORTATION TO WHICH THEY ARE CONSISTEiNTLY LOSING A GREAT PROPORTION OF LUMBER TRAFFIC WITH RESULTING ALARMING LOSS IN NEEDED FREIGHT REVENUE.

FURTHER LOWER TRANSPORTATION CHARGES WILL ALSO RESULT IN REDUCED BUILDING COSTS THUS ENCOURAGING INCREASED HOME CONSTRUCTION, A VITAL KEY TO IMPROVED BUSINESS CONDITIONS.

BOTH MARKE.TERS OF LUMBER AND COMMON CARRIERS TRANSPORTING FOREST PRODUCTS TO MARKETS ARE NOW FACED WITH SERIOUS UNFAiR COMPETITIVE. PRACTICES OF UNREGULATED CARRIERS. PROPOSED REDUCED RATES WILL PLACE RAIL LINE,S IN POSITION TO FAIRLY COMPE,TE AND THUS DiSCOURAGE SPREAD OF THESE QUESTIONABLE OPERATIONS.

AMER-PLYWOOD HAS THE V-GROOVED LOOK

Latest development from Southwood Corporation, manufacturers of widely distributed Amerwood Paneling (/+u), is their new product, "Amer-Ply- Wood." Plywood used is abraded by a unique blasting process which partially removes the softer spring growth, leaving the hard summer growth raised. The 4'x8'x5 /16,' panels are then random width v-grooved. Joints have eased edges which continue the vgrooved look, thus producing a continuous plank effect. Qolor is applied to highlight the real wood's natural grain beauty. High-grade lacquers add a luxurious finish to the panels. A marand scuff-resistant surface is produced which enables walls to retain their original beauty for years, requiring

little maintenance. Amer-Ply-Wood is completely pre-finished and'ready for installation. One craftsman, amateur or professional, may easily and quickly install it.

BENNETT 2-WAY PANEL SAW NOW CUTS UP TO FIVE FEET

A new model of the Bennett 2-WAY PANEL SAW which will cut panel stock up to five feet wide has been introduced by the Richard C. Bennett MfS. Co., Laceyville, Pennsylvania. According to Richard C. Bennett, head of the -firm, the increasing use of panel stock five feet wide-for such things as ping-pong tables, display counters, and the new, wider sheets of plastic laminates-has led to a demand for a 2-Way Panel Saw that will cut these 5'panels.

Although on the market less than four years, the standard model of the 2-Way Panel Saw (used for cuttingto-size, panels of plywood, hardboar-d, fiberboard, tileboard, plastic laminates, etc., up to 4' wide) is in use through- out the United States and Canada Jnd in foreign countries by retail lumberyards, cabinet and woodworking shops, prefabricators and building contrictors, distributors of plastic laminates and tileboards. and manufacturers who work with all types of panel stock. With the 2-Yiav Pinel Saw. the manufacturer claims, one man can cross-cut or rip a large panel quicker and easrer than two men can on a table saw. "There is no lifting or turning of large unwieldy panelsl both cross-cuts and rips can be made without removing panel from the machine." Horizontal and vertical scales are attached for selective cuts.

FHA Requests More Funds

Los Angeles FHA Director Norman Lyon announced May 27 that the local insuring office had received instructions from the Federal Housing Administration headquarters in Washington, D. C., that no additional commitments to insure mort'. gages could be issued after today without specific authority iro]n Washington. Mr. Lyon pointed out that although the FHA was a self-supporting agency and paid all of its expenses through

fees collected from the people who use the programs, it was limited by Congress in the amount of mortgages if could insure.

The heavy volume of horne construction has accelerated the use of this authorization and early in May the FHA requested an increase of four billion dollais in iniurance authorization. Until the Congress acts to approve the increased authorization there must be a centralized control so that the legal limit will not_ be_ exceeded, it was said. Pending Congressional action, authority can come only from FHA Wishingttn Headquarters to issue new commitments.as outstanding commitments expire ind as the repayments on insured mortgiges n.rake the ...rblrring authorization available to co.trer currint cases. The local FHA office will continle to receive applications for mortgage insurance and process the cases right up to the commitrieit stage. In this way. the cornrnitments will be ready for release as re'r'olving authorization becomes available or- congressional action increases the legal limitation of the authorizatioi to meet current demands, the report concluded.

ntq Borboro Xlill-Lumber Co. suys Conover Yord in Goleto

' Santa Barbara, Calif.-The Santa Barbara Mill & Lumber Co. purchased the Conover Lumber Co. in Goleta, May 17, ,and will operate it as a subsidiary firm. The purchase was announced by E. G. Ludwick, vice-president and general manager of the Santa Barbara yard. He said that Ray Shewmake, formerly of the Santa Barbara Mill & Lumber Co., would assume the management of the branch yard in 11. Goleta.

fn announcing the purchase to the local newspapers and , declaring the company policy, Dealer Ludwick said, "\Me i:' intend t-o see to it that our new subsidiary, the Conover . Lumber Co., provides its customers with the same fine " building mateiials and service that is found at the Santa

Barbara Mill & Lumber Co. Our expansion into Goleta seems to be a timely move in view of the ever-increasing activity in the Goleta Valley."

He cited the many new subdivisions and other building constantly springing up in the nearby Goleta area, including two large, new schools.

The name Conover Lumber Co. will be retained for the Goleta lineyard. The Santa Barbara Mill & Lumber Co. was organized here in 1953. Kenneth Simpson is the president.

Yard Under Three Ownerships

Today the company, tripled in size since 1946, has 35 employes headed by Ed G. Ludwick, manager, and Greg Gartrell, assistant manager. The expanded facilities include the lumber yard, a complete cabinet shop, warehouses and an attractive salesroom carrying an extensive inventory of building material and hardware. An increasing amount of the materials used in Santa Barbara construction flows through the organization.

Federol Housing Ghief Golls Ouflook Bright

"Business in the housing industry is excellent-rve're running SOVI ahead of a year ago in the country as a whole in FHA insurance," Federal Housing Administration

Commissioner Norman P. Mason told a May 23 meeting of representatives of the building industry, affrliated trades, financial interests and county and city officials in the Statler Flilton hotel, Los Angeles. "We've been running almost double the amount of business we normally do in the first four months of this year," he added.

Mason, a former retail lumberman and past president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Assn., also said that any interruption in the flow of FHA insurance nolv would be "tragic," when he reported that the llouse Banking and Currency committee was threatening to whittle dor,vn to $1 billion the $20 billion requested by FHA over tl-re next five years.

'Ihe 400 at the meeting included people from the L. A. Realty Board, Building Contractors Assn., llome Builders Assn, of Los Angeles, Orange and -'Ventura Counties, Mortgage Bankers Assn., California Savings and Loan League, etc. The meeting lvas under the auspices of the L. A. Chamber of Commerce.

Commissioner Mason complimented the activity he saw in Southern California and said he foresaw no recession in the housing industry, which he said is "doing a swell job all over the country in leading us out of the recession." He said the increase in applications in the Los Angeles FHA office was at a rate of between 1391o and 140% in 1958's frrst third.

He believed the government would pass a $1 billion authorization now as an emergency measure pending more thorough investigation and said $1J00,000,000 is nleded by the FHA to last till the end of June.

Mason predicted at least 1,110,000 new housing starts this year, compared to just under 1.000.000 in 1957.

standing ovation to our National president. Jay took us on a trip to various other association conventions through the country and told us of some of their projects and items of interest on their programs. While visiting Various cities in the Northwest, South, Midwest and East, he had an opportunity to see first hand the economic condition of the country. While there were a few isolated bad spots, generally speaking business was looking up and a brighter future seems a ceitainty. He told us of the coming meeting of manufacturers, wholesalers, and dealers at Colorado Springs and a similar meeting to be held in Santa Barbara. These "summit" talks by all segments of the building supply business are aimed at ironing out the rough spots in the field of merchandising. Jay reported on the educational program now under study by these groups.

Reporting on national legislation affecting our industry, Jay told of the expansion on the FHA Certified Agency Program to other areas. Of the original seven areas used for testing, Illinois did a great job and Arizona is showing real progress, with Prescott leading the nation. He urged support of legislation providing a tax deduction for home improvements, taxation of co-ops and elimination of the 3/o tax on freight.

Mike Medigovich, chairman of the Nominations committee, reported that the following officers and directors had been nominated:

PRESIDENT ... ...Howard Beals, Phoenix

VICE-PRESIDENT. ....Henry Galbraith, Phoenix

VICE-PRESIDENT. ..Pete Pollock. Clifton

TREASURER... .Frank F. Haney, Phoenix

Sam Beecroft, Phoenix

Ralph Bilby, Flagstaff

A. G. Bennett, Yuma Martin Combs, Buckeye

Larcy Hamman, Phoenix

Bob Horr, Flagstaff

Floyd Olson, Phoenix

Herb Mann, Tucson

Harold Britt, Phoenix M. S. Medigovich, J. Knox Corbett, Tucson Cottonwood

Joe Bauer, Mesa George Rothfuss, Prescott

Jay Gates, Kingman Marc Schwarz, Miami

Dale Grabe, Globe Ken Springer, Phoenix

George Gaskin, Phoenix John Wood, Bisbee

Jamei C. O'Malley, President of N.R.L.D.A.

William C. Beal, Tucson, N.R.L.D.A. Dealer Director

Tom Wood, Tucson, Alternate N.R.L.D.A. Dealer Director

H. Marvin Smith, Yuma, Immediate Past President

The report was unanimously adopted and all officers and directors were elected.

From 6:00 to 7 :30 in the lobby and patio of the Hassayampa Hotel, the convention enjoyed their annual cocktail party put on through the courtesy of the Arizona Portland Cement Company. Milt Whitley, state manager, Morton J. Mansur and Hank Stanton, along with their wives, proved to be exceptional hosts.

At 8:00 p.m. the banquet was served. It was a little crowded; in fact, it ran over into another room. The steaks and service were good and Jim Killen, our Master of Ceremonies, handled the meeting like an old pro introducing the new officers. Mattie Medigovich was back again as good as ever. Ted O'Malley, who has missed a few meetings, was also back. Tom Tietz of Union Gypsum gave away giant sized martini glasses (with a drink).

Jim then called on George Ross to make the golf awards and the good-bad, and in-between golfers-both men and womenwere all identified. Howard Beals, the newly elected president, then made the presentation of a desk pen set to the outgoing president, Marvin Smith. The room was cleared and Spence Bare's orchestra struck up the band and I think it was all over about 2:00 a.m.

It was an excellent meeting-lots of fun and exercise and lots of meat in the program. If you weren't on hand, better plan to be with us next year. Same place; date, May 14, 15, 16.
