New Pickering Plywood l,lill Outpul of 5 Million Sq. Fl. Sheot{ring Monthly

Standard (Tuolumne County)-Tuolumne County will get nearly a million dollars a year payroll-shot-in-the-arm when Pickering Lumber Corp. opens its new plywood mill, according to an announcement by President F. F. Momyer.

Main product from the new mill will be white fir sheathing plywood, with production estimates aimed for approximately 5 million square feet per month.

This means that the well-managed timberlands of Pickering will provide a substantial portion of the necessary 25 to 30 million board feet of logs per year needed for the plywood production alone.

The new mill is a part of the continuing effort which Pickering, along with other California forest industries, is making toward better utilization of the products of the Tree Farm. Increasing demands for wood products resulting from increasing populations, Momyer^said, require as much of each tree as is possible through-sound forest manag'ement and far reaching research programs.

California produces t6o/o of. the nation's wood supply, and the Los Angeles metropolitan area is the largest single wood-consuming area in the world, Momyer said. Each individual in California consumes an average of 209 board feet of lumber and 435 pounds of paper each year.

Housed in an all-wood, three-acre building, the Pickering plywood mill will provide about 165 new jobs to the county, Momyer said. These new jobs have a further effect, according to Momyer. The 165 men employed by Pickering Lumber Corp., in the new mill, will contribute to the incomes of businesses which employ approximately 1,300 other Tuolumne county residents.

Construction of the mill has provided jobs for as many as 40 county residents during the past year. In a few instances. Momver said. technicians have been hired elsewhere in California and the West, but most work has been done by residents of Standard and nearby communities.

WHAT THEY DID TO ''EAR.NEYI"

Dealer Earney J. Thompson of the Thompson Lumber Co., Oxnard, Calif., who just recently retired from his office on the Oxnard City Council, was presented a "joke ordinance" at a dinner the staff tendered him, also attended by retiring Mayor Carl Ward.

Reading the "Ordinance," you might guess that in times past Dealer Thompson always had a few "puns" to make when certain specifications or references were made to "non-lumber" items, or when condemnations were made, or when reference was made to "dry rot and/or termites" at the Council sessions.

The contents of the "Ordinance" below were the brainchild of the vivid imagination of Oxnard's fine city clerk, Ethel Dale. It follows: oRDTNANCE NO. 37426581094526

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF' OXNARD PROHIBITING THE USE OF' CONCRETE BLOCK PRODUCTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF' ANY BUILDING, DWELLING, DOG HOUSE OR WALL PROTRUDING

MORE THAN ONE F'OOT ABOVE THE EARTH AND SPECIF'YING PENALTIES FOR VIOLATORS THERETO HENCEF'ORTH.

The City Council of the City of Oxnard does ordain as follows:

PARAGRAPH I. That pursuant to the Code of Honorable Pro'cedure the Qity Council does declare all concrete block operators to be loathsome fellows ensnared in the foul and sticky mud of their own avarice, and further declares all lumber yard operators to be noble lords rightfully basking in the accolades of a grateful citizenry.

PARAGRAPH 2. That therefore said City Council finds concrete block construction to be a blight on the civilization of an enlightened peoples, subject to attack by rock termites (the worst kind), conducive to prison pallor (an insidious disease with no known cure) and a lethal menace to wood termites (the best kind); that said Council further finds wood construction to be universally and abundantly dignifying to all peoples receiving its benefits, inseparable from the ladder of success, the platform of the people's party and the tree of life, and calculably profitable to the noble lords of the lumber yard.

PARAGRAPH 3, That said Council in recogrtition of facts herein stated does hereby prohibit further constmction using said offensive concrete blocks and that violators hereto shall be penalized by sufrering on the town pillory, one hour in the stocks (made from stately wood) for each concrete block used, and said violator shall endure the taunts of his peers until he mends his ways with wood.

ORDINANCE NO. 9742658L094526 was first read on the 32nd day of March, 1960, in the noble wooden Council Chambers of the heroic wooden City Hall and finally adopted on the 32nd day of April, 1960, by said Council sitting on their well-upholstered wooden seats, to become effective on the 32nd day of May, 1960, from the superior wooden floor of the noble wooden Council Chambers in the heroic wooden City Hall by an understanding and sympathetic wood-minded City Council!
