Terms of Sole

Because one of the speakers at the reccnt LASC collvention in Long I3each stated that, in order to improve the profit, the 2Jb cash discount could be dropped, we believe it is interesting to publish the following pertinent survey : Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., business information agency, has just published 1962 terms of sale prevailing in 67 manufacturing and wholesaling lines. The lines covered in manufacturing, include, for example, many heavy industrial products, building supplies, apparel, foods and drugs, and home and office furnishings. Wholesaling lines in the same areas are similarly covered.

The study, single copies of which are available without charge from Public Relations, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., 99 Church Street, New York City, is based upon a nationwide

survey of approximately 1500 representative firms. Terms of sal'e quoted are generally those predominating in a gil'en line during the first quarter of the current year.

The survey reveals some recent trends in terms of sale. For example, in manufacture of construction machinery and equipmenl, there is a trend away from the practice of gianting cash discounts. In hosiery, in some ittstances, longer terms are being granted to meet competition. Some manufacturers of plastic products report customers requesting greatly extended terms. And in wholesaling, many conceini in lhe agricultural implements field are reporte4ly granting longei terms in ordEr to stimulate business. Finitty, in botli manufacturing and wholesaling, in several linis, there is a marked trend away from the grantirrg of a cash discount.

Much is being said and written about the high cost of living. Why, friends, it's just what it has always been-all you've got.

Several years before he even started to run for President, Ike Eisenhower wrote a letter to a member of Congress in which he said: "Very firmly I believe that the great army of persons who urge greater dependence upon ihe federil treasury are really more dangerous to any form of govern- ment than any external threat can possibly be arrayed against us."

And then, after eight years in the White l{ouse, he continued saying the same thing.

Ancl another fine American who had much experience, Mr. James F. Byrnes, once spoke as follows: "The people who settled this country did not come here to establish a government. They were seeking liberty-not security. They were seeking an opportunity to enjoy freedom, the freedom of being let alone. They believed that every human being possessed inalienable rights by the grace of God, and not by the grant of any government. To secure these rights the people u'ere willing to endure hardships, and, if necessary, sacrifice their lives."

And, in the same speech, Mr. Byrnes said: 'lBut today is another day. The spirit of self-reliance that inspired the early settlers for more than a century to exercise their initiative and develop this country, while preserving their independence, often seems to be departing from this people. Too many people want to lean on the government, forget- ting tha"t the government must lean on the people. Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than of death."

There should be a law against talking depression, because that is the way depressions and recessions start. Arthur Brisbane, famous editor of long ago, wrote : "Prosperity depends on the mental attitude of the people, and on their private talking. No president, no collection of men, no promises to spend billions can wipe out the bad effects of a nationally pessimistic mood." To discuss recession is to help create one.

"Never lose an opportunity to see something beautiful. Welcome it in every fair face, every fair sky, every fair flower, and thank Him for it who is the fountain of all loveliness."-Chas. Kingsley.

Wrote Bruce Barton: "A God with imagination enough to create the oceans, and solar systems, and sexes and seasons and poets and mountains and mothers and martyrssuch a God ca"n be trusted to make the hereafter iust and satisfactory and full of interest. I think about it very little, but I shed few tears at funerals. I leave it to HIM."

A famous Englishman was quoted as saying that if he got to heaven and did not find his pet dog there, he would ask for a transfer. Over the grave of his pet dog, Lord Byron placed this epitaph : "Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferocity, and all the virtues of man-without his vices."

John Quincy Adams, who, after leaving the Presidency, went back and served many years in the lower House of Congress, dropped dead on the floor of the House while making a speech. His last words were his epitaph: "f am content."

Nixon, Reagan Speak at NLMA Spring Meeting, Warn Against Big Government

Former Vice President Richard M. Nixon told the lumber industry May 8 that American business must have high profits to meet its committments to pay high wages.

Mr. Nixon, Republican nominee for Governor of California, spoke extemperaneously at a luncheon during the 1962 Spring Nleeting of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association in Beverly Hills, California.

His remarks preceded the principal luncheon address by TV and film star Ronald Reagan. Mr. Nixon praised Mr. Reagan's record as an outspoken champion of the private enterprise system and said there is a need for more Americans, especially ir-rdustrialists and public figures, to speak out on this vital issue.

Former Vice President Richqrd lfl. Nixon (second from lefi) is shown gre€ting rnovie-television stcr Ronold Resgdn ot o Mcy 8 lunchon held in connection with fie 1962 Spring lieeting of fhe Nqtionql Lumber Mqnufocturers Associolion in Beverly Hills, Cqlif. Nixon and Reogan were speokers of lhe lunclreon. Others (from lefi) ore Gene C. Brewer, President of rhe U. S. Plywood Corp., who served or loqslmssleri Arlhur Templa, Jr.. President of NIJIIA; ond Eliot H. Jenkins, Choirmon of Nll/lA's Notionol Wood Promotion Commiltee.

The 1960 Republican Presidential candidate stressed that the responsibility of businessmen is not to defend the profit system but to explain it. High profits, he insisted, must be "plowed back" by American industry not only into wages but also into new rnachinery, research and development, and other progressive programs, in order for domestic manufacturers to compete with firms abroad.

Suggests New Route to Government Economy

NIr. Reagan called for a_nerv -approach to. bring about economy in government. The former President of the Screen Actor's Guild asserted "it is far bevond ottr power or that of Congress to find the specific areas lvhere economy in government can be effected." He continued:

"There is only one logical way to do it. We must reduce the income of government and then with all the hatches battened down, we put the responsibility where it belongs -o1r our bureau and department heads in government.

"\AIe must say to them, "As of next year, yoll get X per cent less to run your budget than you had last year.' Believe me, before they rvill let their departments go out of business. thev will fincl the areas of tlseless fat that can be trimmed."

Nlr. Reagan noted tl.rat 'u'hile there are marly differences between Communists, Socialists and liberals, they share at least one common characteristic : "All three seek the answer to l.ruman problems through government."

Such thinking, the speaker pointed out, has been responsible for the creatioll of "a permanellt structure of government so complex, so big, it's virtually beyond the corrtrol of Cor.rgress. Certainly it is self-perpetuating."

As examples, Mr. Reagan cited these developments:

(1) In 1942, there was one top-salaried executive in government for every 89 employees. Today, the ratio is one to L/.

(2) In 7957, Congress abolished the Reconstruction Finance Corporation but since that time it has managed to spend more than $1 million.

(3) The Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation has made no loans since the depression and the authority of the Commissioner expired in 1947. Yet, running expenses of the agency have amounted to $4 million sin'ce 1950.

_ (4) Congress ordered immedia"te liquidation of the Spruce Production Corporation in 1920. In 1930, the lawmakers tried again. In 1947, the agency was still in business. Finally, in 1948, Congress cut off its appropriation. This was thi'agency created' in World War I to loiate and manufacture spruce lumber for airplane fuselages.

N'Ir. Reagan said that while national defense spending has increasedby 29 per cent since 1955, non-defense outlays by the government have risen 84 per cent.

"In Chicago recently, the Public Housing Authority antrounced that swimming pools, recreational areas and paid recreational directors rvill constitute a part of public housing in that city," the speaker observed.

\{r. Reagan decried the growing tendency for various segments of the American economy to seek Federal aid from Washington, and emphasized that with such aid (Confrnueil on Page 25)

Revitalized Association Sparks LASC Meet

"The best convention ever !" was the unanimous opinion as more than 2,000 members and guests thronged through the exhibit halls and sat in on the meetings of the 45th annual convention of the Lumber Association of Southern California, May &10.

Staged at the Lafayette Hotel in Long Beach, the convention provided a series of excellent programs ranging over a wide number of subiects and a truly outstanding trade show.

Congratulations for a job well done are certainly in order for Association Executive Vice President Paul Ho,llenbeck and his efficient staff, and to Association President Terry Mullin and his officers for this culmination of a year's hard work.

First big event was Tuesday's KickC)ff Luncheon attended by more than 200 persons, presided over by Terry l\4ullin. Dr. Fred E.

Much moving back to cities, thus more and more apartment housing will be built despite vacancies. Over-produc- tion of houses. Rising construction costs and higher real estate and property taxes will cause older areas of cities to get a new look from investors as people return to city living. Both more young people and more older people will decrease the number of buyers for houses.

"A factor on the other side Courts now let minority groups buy into previously restricted areas, hypoing land costs up. Federal Government housing plans have a 'social flavor' to them. More children in big families cut the money that might have gone to buy houses. Now-grown depression babies (fewer people) will buy fewer houses. Renting rvill become as favorable regarding cost as buying; higher mortgage costs limiting house buying.

"Forecasts f.or 1962 are on the low side by 15-20%. It looks as though there will be less housing construtcion and more construction of multiple

He stated that the banks' experience with the lumber business has been good, but that the banks' biggest problem is to get business to come in and borrow some good, green money. He suggested that as the lumberman needs tools so does the bank, and urged the members to maintain financial statements and records that the bank would need when a loan was wanted. He also urged that such information with the bank be up-datod constantly, that a loan might be expedited when one was necessary.

Joinf Hoo-Hoo Meet Hosfs Notables

Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club 109 (not "Peninsula Hoo-Hoo Club 109" as we erroneously labeled them in an earlier "Calendar") and Redwood Emoire Hoo-Hoo Ciub 65 staged their annual joint meeting at Dick's in Fairfield, California, on the evening of April 27. There was a good turnout despite a steady drizzle from a winter storm that l-rad apparently lost its calendar and the meeting was further embellished by the presence of Snark of the IJni'i'erse Harvey Koll of Los Angeles,

and Seer of The llouse of Ancients C. D. LeMaster. Incidentally, the Snark and Seer had a pretty distinguished chauffeur in the person of Jack Berry, a past member of the Supreme Nine himself.

Some fifty members of the two clubs participated in the annual get-together which got underway at 6:39 p.m., and gathered momentum as the libations f lowed. Following dinner, Snark "Harv" brought the gang up to date

with some timelv remarks about the roll of Hoo-Hoo'in Wood Promotion. Significantly, both clubs were among the first in California to cooperate with NLNIA in setting up a local action Lumber JAC operation. The Sacramento group is known as the Lumber Joint Action Committee of Sacramento and the Redrvood Empire Club is actively participating in the Golden Gate Lumber Joint Action Committee which encompasses San Mateo, San Francisco and Marin counties.

NBMDA Holds 21sf Semi-Annual Convention

Building Material Distributors from thirty-eight states and Canada attended NBMDA's 21st Semi-Annual Convention at the St. Francis Hotel, San Francisco, Calif., April 29 and May 1 and 2, according to D. B. Richardson, president of Richardson Lumber Company, Denver, Colo. and current NBMDA president.

f n welcoming the Distributors to San Francisco, President Richardson stated that the past year had seen considerable floundering in the normal marketing flow and that there was a lack of sound policies and sound marketing programs or a lack of courage to make them work in the marketplace today. He further observed that competition seemed to be keener among Distributors themselves than it is in competing with other systems of distribution. And, in order to survive, and move with the times, the building material distributor must keep better control over every phase of his business opefatlon.

In reporting on the activities of the Association, S. M. Van Kirk, general manager, stated that membership continued to show gains during the past six months and that annual sales of NBMDA members amoun.ted to close to $l% billion. He also noted that a substantial amount of diversification in lvarehouse inventory indicated that NBMDA members *"r. becoming more profit minded and were, substantially interested in improving the overall profit picture.

Monday, April 30 rvas devoted en-

lmport Department Gets Increasing Recognition At Oregon-Pacific Forest Products

The growing importance and diversity of quality forest products from oyerseas sources has led OregonPacific Forest Products Corporatioh of Portland, Oregon, to step up the work of the import department in its plyr,r'ood division.

"We find that the acceptance of imported materials has been very grati- fying, and demand is continually increasing for prefinished hardwood plywoods, particle board and other specialized imports," said M. I. Douglas, vice president and manager of the plywood division.

"These foreign sources, many of r,r'hich are newly developed, provide us with a more ro,unded background as a prime supplier. Overseas manufactur-

ers have shovvn great eagerness to cooperate with us in developing products which will find quick acceptance and widespread use. Foreign mills are often highly adaptable and can make pro'dtrction changes in an amazingly short time."

The growing flow o,f forest products from foreign mills is an important element in stimulating trade, since it enables other countries to buy more from the United States, Douglas pointed out. It means greater sales of mill machinery and even strengthens markets for United States forest products that are not available from overseas soufces.

One step in the company's development program was the recent appoint-

ment of Patrick J. Connolly' as manager of the import department. Connolly has been engaged in import hardwood plywood sales for the past six years and has had personal contact with many foreign plyrvood manufacturers.

Oregon-Pacifi,c also plans to employ a full-time agent in Japan in the near future.

The company maintains iuventories of imported pl1'woods at Portland and Longview on the West Coast, and at certain East Coast Dorts, to facilitate prompt shipment of special orders and mixed cars. Direct shipments are also made routinely from foreign mills to many United States ports.

San Diego Hoo-Hoo Club 3 Attracfs More than 75 Members for Annual Educational Meeting

The annual educational lumber industry meeting held by San Diego Hoo-Hoo club # 3 at beautiful Bahia Hotel on the bay, May 18th, attracted a "bang-up" turn out to hear the "Algama Story" delivered by speaker Bill Bradley, to see the feature film on the art of manufacturing plywood and to honor Sid Smith, pioneer retired retail lumber dealer of the border city who celebrates 50 years this year as an active member of the "Black Cat" organization.

Bill Bradley, San Diego manager of United States Plywood Corporation sales and distribution warehouse, gave a comprehensive talk on the Art of l\{anufacturing Hardwood Plywood. Tracing the development of the veneer from ancient Egypt to modern day, he presented a most convincing case for plywood veneer-illustrated with color film and his own 25 yearc experience in the industry. Holding the attention of his audience for more than an hour, Bradley's resume of this product with the many uses was well received.

NWtnA Holds Seminor On Modulor Construction

The "UNICOM Method" of house construction was fully explored at a recent seminar on modular construction sponsored by the National Woodwork Manufacturers Association. The meeting was held at the Bismarck Hotel in Chi'cago and was attended by reoresentatives of 40 millwork manufaiturers.

Particular emphasis was given throughout the meeting to the products manufactur,ed by the millwork firms and their role in this latest method of house construction. The purpose of the seminar was to determine what was needed to relieve some of the confusion that exists in modular construction.

Working along their goal to provide better and more economical housing, the National Lumber Manufacturers Association retained Home Planners, Inc. of Detroirt to develop this method. Dr. John Zerbe, assistant director, engineering and technology for NLMA and Design Consultant, Richard B. Pollman, Home Planners, fnc., presented the two part program to the rvoodworkers.

AAilA Announces Industry's Firsf Specificqtions For Sliding Glcrss Doors

The architectural aluminum industry's first specifrcations for sliding glass doors have been announced by the Architectural Aluminum Manufacturers Asso,ciation.

Contained in a 16-page brochure, the specifications are the result of four years of effort on the part of the Sliding Glass Door & Window Institute and the Aluminum Window Manufac-

turers Association which merged early this year to form the Architectural Aluminum Manufacturers Association.

The booklet is available on request from the AAMA office at 35 E. Wicker Dr., Chicago 1, Ill.

Section One covers general requirements applicable to all aluminum sliding glass doors.

Section Two covers specific requirements applicable to particular types of aluminum sliding glass doors (SGDA1) for residential and limited co'mmercial use, and (SGD-A2) for residential and commercial application "where increased size *ndf or better performance characteristics are a factor."

Section Three is composed of hurricane specifications for use in instances where doors must be designed to withstand conditions of high wind loading.

Also included in the brochure are a Specification and Design Check List; an explanation of the AAMA Quality Approved Seal program which permits use of the seal on members' products rvhich meet the specifications; a list of active members. associate members and the independent testing laboratories rvhich te,st members' products for compliance; and short form specification.

"Woodlife" Treatment to Proteet Roekport Redtrood Sidin$

"Woodlife," a protective water repellent treatment, will be factory sealed on all Redwood bevel siding from The Rockport Redwood Company, an announcement recently rer.ealed. Shipments of lumber with this protection, which have previously been optional will now be applied to all orders and at no extra cost.

"We feel that this policy is a real steu forward in the manufacture of Redrn'ood siding," said Harry A. Merlo, vice president and general manager of Rockport. "Moisture is the greatest single cause of problems with siding."

The Rockport announcement calls atterttion to many well established facts concerning factory sealed "Wood1ife," spelling out these advantages-

It will substantially reduce "bleeding," blistering and peeling of paint caused by moisture. It allo'u'i's long postponement of unfinished paint jobs during bad weather without concerni ov,er deterioration of the siding surface. Houses finished during the unfavorable period of fall and winter can remain r,vithout painting until spring.

Moisture reoellent "Woodlife" treatment eliminatis any need for priming. When a natural Redwood finish is desired the original factory sealed "Woodlife" treatment is adecuate for six to eighteen months, d6pending upon exposure. Nor does "Woodlife" as a natural finish effect any appreciable change in the appearance of the siding. For this reason a different fin-

later time, if desired.

The Rockport Redwood ComPanY also reminds lumber distributors and users of lumber that a Proper vapor barrier is always a mtlst u,ith wood sidings.

The California $edrvood Association has been ernphatic in stressing the necessity of a water repellent, as illustrated iir their literature on Redwood exterior finished, where they treat the subject thoroughly.

25,000 Prefinished Panels . . . . . . Per Day

Producing 25pW prefinished panels per day is the progress Harold R. Jones has made toward his dream of "putting paneling on the walls of every home in America." Since early 1958, he has been sheltering this dream, and moving steadily to make it a reality. Today, he's America's biggest producer of prefinished hardwood plywood paneling.

Harold R. Jones, president of Jones Veneer and Plywood Company, Eugene, Oregon, began producing Philippine Mahogany plywood in late 1958, after securing the output of two veneer mills in Luzon, Philippines, and in 19@, two more plants in Mindanao, Philippines, and Sa,rawak, Borneo.

Jones produced unfinished paneling

until the latter part of 1959, when in anticipation of the demand for prefinished paneling he started prefinishing

his Philippine Mahogany on a mass production basis. From a start of 3,000 unfinished panels per day from onelayup plant, Jones now produces in excess of 25,000 panels daily from four mills near Eugene, Oregon, and one in Oroville, California.

Jones' product line has expanded accordingly to include birch, cherry, oak, walnut, pine, and cedar. A new grain print process for printing walnut, oak, teak, cherry and rosewood on mahoganv faces was introduced in Mav. 1961. By using douglas fir cores an<l 'backs and technical know-how in high speed prefinishing, Jones is able to produce paneling of many species, colors, and grades, priced competitively with foreign imports.

Gonslruction Contrqcls leod Economy Upword

The construction industry once again is leading upward the nation's economy according to an analysis of the latest figures of contracts for future construction by one of the country's top economists.

:'F. W. Dodge Corporation's construction contracts for April totaled $3,860,460,000, a substantial 17 per cent above April 1961 and the second highest dollar volume on record," -declared Dr. Gordon W. McKinley, Dodge vice president and chief economist. "Following on top of March's record high of nearly $4 billion, the April figur99 confirm the upwar-d trend which we predicted late in 1961 and again. early this year," added Dr. McKinley.

"Particularly noteworthy in the April figures is the continued strength in residential awards. To,tal residential contracts in Aplil amounted to $1,815,593,000, up 25 per cent from April 1961. Arvards for apartment building continue'd the blislering pace of trhe first quarter, with a gain of 68 per cent over April 1961. Awards for single-family homes in April showed real bouyancy for the first time this year, with a gain of 19 per cent over the comparable month last vear." continued Dr. McKinley.

-

"It is becoming increasingly clear that the housing outlook is much mole encouraging than some observers had believed. Dodge residential award figures for the first four months of this year show a 23 per cent gain in dollar volume over the same months in 1961, and a 2l per cent gain in number of dwelling units. It is time to dismiss doleful preconceptions and look at the facts. The facts in the openirrg months of this year indicate convincirrgly that 1962 will see al1 unrtsually lrigh volttnre of resiclerttial corrstructiou." stated Dr. McKinley.

Construction contracts for non-residential buildings in April totaled, $7,101 ,622,000, an increase of 5 per cent above

the like month of a year ago. All major building classifications in thiS category continued to show strength; only public and religious buildings registered decreases.

According to the Dodge report, the dollar volume of contracts for heavy engineering work amounted to $943,245,000, up 19 per cent compared to April 1961. The brightest spot in this category was contracts for electric light and power systems rvhich were up 142 per cent. Contracts for streets and highways skidded, 8 per cent below the like month of a year ago, but contracts for sewerage systems and bridges were up. Both the public works and utilities sectors of the heavy engineering category showed gains.

The Dodge Index, which measures the seasonally ad- justed movement of total construction contract arvards, stood at l2l in April-the second highest figure on record.

The show business veteran called on businessmen to demand tax reform that leads to a reduction in the percentage of national income collected by federal government, adding:

"The governrnents of the United States this year will spend $173 billion. That's an increase of $12 billion since last year. It prorates out to $3,050 for every family in the United 'States. For missiles-yes; to send an astronaut around the world and bring him back safely-yes; but in heaven's n2ms-treu/ do they exptrain items in the present budget such as the one that calls for $1,200,000 to finance research into why a baby monkey loves its mother?

"In this coming election, regardless of the party of your choice, because this crosses party lines, pin down those

Architect Lauds Wood For School Consfruction

"We need only to look at the properties of woo'd to become convinced it is the best basic building material," extolled Thomas Balzhiser, Eugene architect, before a joint meeting in Portland, June 1, of representatives of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers and Brotherhood of Carpenters, and of the West Coast Lumbermen's and Western Pine Associations.

In his talk on "Schools from Man's Most Sympathetic Material," Balzhiser cited a litany of praises for wood, which he has used predominantly in his designs fo,r numerous schools, churches and commercial structures.

"The economy of wood," declared the youthful architect, "is nondebateable. It is easy to work, and that by local craftsmen. Even when it is misused, its economy is still beyond doubt.

"Wood is completely available-it is truly the 'home town kid.

"Wood is safe. It is given every break in the code books -it is more favorablv coded than steel or plastic. No building is really fireprooi, simply because it afrvays has inflammable contents.

"When a building catches fire, it is usually already full of fire. Many times, a building on fire do,esn't burn down; it falls down u'hen steel beams expand and lose strength, causing them to drop their loads.

"Wood is durable. When properly used, wood is easily maintained.

"Wood is completely combinable with all otl,er materials. From the simpliiity oi ounces and fibers to the complexity of tons in heavy beams, q'ood excites the imagination of the oesrg'ner.

"Wood is flexible-its use can be as simple or as complex as you wish. It is easily altered, one fiber or a whole classroom. It can be completelv refinished.

"Wood needs no introduction. It is knorvn to all, and everyone likes it.

Balzhiser warned that misuse of wood may cause trouble, and advised the architect, engineer, carpenter and layman to give thoughtful consideration toward achieving best application of "man's mo'st sympathetic material."

His listeners had met to discuss ioint efforts for the promotion of wood and jobs in woodi and the speaker uiged recognition of three points, as seen by designers:

1) The unit for wood is no longer the 2x4, but is the basic fiber itself ; 2) The manufacturing and distributive systems are changing, and this must be faced, and 3) The wood industry's sales and public relations activities must become more aggressive.

Schools loom large in the nation's construction needs, Balzhiser remarked. More than one-fourth of our population, so'me 50,000,000 are in school, and each year this total of students grows by 1,400,000, he said. Schools are important to the wood produ,cts industry.

Balzhiser closed with a sensitive eulogy for his favorite material:

"Wood is monumental in its capabilities. Let us establish monuments to our thinking and our senses, and do so in wood.

"Wood has warmth, and this I have found from at least these 11 directions:

"1) Its warmth of color and beauty within the grain; 2) Its thermal warmth-heating and cooling are lesser problems in wood structures; 3) Warmth of pattern, with its endless variations.

"4) Warmth of variety and combinations, used with other woods or metals and other materials; 5) Warmth of acoustics, creating a cozy or intimate feeling; 6) Friendliness and confidence. because it is familiar.

"7) Its appeal to our visual senses; 8) Its appeal to our sense of smell-not just certain cedars, but all woods ;

9) Appeal to the touch, for wood feels warm ; of its versatility of style, for anything can be wood, ancl 11) Its versatility in size, scale and

Redwood Shipments Outpoce Production

Shipments from redvvood mills outpaced production in April. A big jump in new orders gave rise to hopes that the large mill inventories would be reduced even more in months to come.

Orclers received rose 34 per cent betr,r'een Nlarch and April. compared to an eight per cent increase in the same periocl oI 1961. Orders lor 57,632,N0 board feet of redwood rvere received in April by the 11 mills reporting to the California Rechvood Association, compared to 42,252,N0 board feet orclered in March and 53,975,000 in April, 1961.

Proclrrction continued at a high rate, declining slightly to 48.507.000 board feet. Shipments rose above production for the first time this year, reducing stocks on hand at the plants tc, 124,269,O00 board feet from 431,371,000 the month before. Stocks on hand at the end of the same period last Year \\'ere 397,62,0m.

The 53.781,000 board feet shipped in April brought the total for the first four months of the year to 174,151,N0 boarcl feet greater tl-ran the amount shipped during the same period of 1961.

Orders on hancl at tl-re end of April totaled 79,162,0N boarcl feet. Unfilled orders have remained about constant throtrghout the year, at 73 to 80,000,000 board feet.

Hoo-Hoo-Ere #5 lnstslls Officers

Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club #5 held its fourth installation of officers recently at the Palomino Room in Sacramento.

Nine laclies will assume executive responsibilities for the ne\r' vear. 1962-1963.

Tl-re Sacrarnento club, just returning from an overnight trip to Reno, is already preparing for their busy summer scheclule. ^\ combination of business and pleasure will keep this active club on the move.

fn the forests of coastal British Columbia, the giant Red Cedar often survives centuries of time, wind and rveather. Little rvonder, then, that lumber cut from this naturally timeless wood will beautify and protect homes in the most severe climates for decades more.

tional members will enlarge the proud ranks of this very exclusive gathering.

Thursday's big event was the noon Hoo-Hoo and Hoo-Hoo-Ette Luncheon, with a big and friendly crowd in attendance. A fashion show staged by Rose Marie Reid (swim suits), Waltah Clark (Hawaiian Fashions), and Benny's of Hong Kong (glamour gowns and sweaters) enlivened the activities during lunch. (Strange, isn't it, how the models seem to get younger every yeaf !)

Pesident Terry l\{ullin then introduced several guests-Erik Flamer, LASC inspector who spoke briefly on grading problems; and Santa Monica retailer Tom Fox who reported on the recent NRLDA Board of Directors meeting and the proposed NRLDA educational program (see CLM, June lst issue).

Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo President Joe Petrash then took over chairmanship of the meeting, and introduced Snark of the IJniverse Harvey Koll-"truly a gentleman of the old school and dedicated to the cause of lumber."

Speaking of FIoo-Hoo, Harvey observed, "Hoo-Hoo brings together under one banner all whose livelihood depends on the Forest Products Industry . . . its precepts may well assure better industry relations, and give meaning to the slogan, 'Through HooHoo, a United Lumber Industry.'

"IIoo-Hoo is faced with the problems," continued Koll, "that I think many more clubs are faced with-lack of manpower; I mean the executive type of manpower willing and able to work. We are all very proud that we have so many worthy members in our organizations. What we want are more of the ones who are willing to put their shoulders to the wheel and work for the best interests of our groups."

Harvey Koll closed his address with a plea for greater support of the National Wood Promotion Program and the 1962 National Forest Products rr\reek,

Special guests were then introduced --Ben Gardiner, new Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo president; Bill Bright, president of the San Fernando Valley HooHoo; Bill Pumfrey of San Diego; and Hoo-Hoo-Ettes Peggy Mottola (Los Angeles), Donna Dean (San Fernando Valley), and Joan Hennings San Diego).

Speaking on "Wood Promotion," Wayne Gardner of NLMA stressed that promotion is aimed at local levels -toward the public, the architects, and church and school officials.

Gionr lndustriql Pqrk for Pomono

Although Pomona California's multi-million dollar pedestrian mall has gotten most of the publicity, a 238 acre industrial park is already going up next to the five Claremout Group colleges that may have more importance in the l.ong run for the town.

The Pomona Valley Colleges Research & Development Center, designed to provide employment for 20,000 scientists and technicians, and part time jobs for college students in the area is hoped to someday rival the giant research and development facilities now located around Stanford University in the northern part of the state.

The park and the do'nvntown mall are both being built without assistance from state and federal funds, according to Thomas B. Del\{ott, director of industrial development for the City and for the Chamber of Commerce.

Although the center is less than a year old, half the sites available have been leased to firms like X4arquart Corp., Consolidated Systems, Consolidated Electr'odynamics, and United Electrodynamics. Park sites may be sold or leased, at the firm's ootion.

Before DeX[ott ever made a call on a prospect for the park l-re was able to announce that the center had paved streets, water, sewage, electricity, gas, telephone service and flood control facilities already installed. The new park is expected to provide a $42 million tax base for Pomona.

Otl-rer industrial facilities in the ar€a are the Southern Pacific Park's 238 acres zonecl M-1 for light manufacturing ar.rd another 100 acres zoned for basic ir.rdnstry uext to General Dynamics big plant. Another three small parks have been created for feeder industries.

Lumber Convention

(Continued' on Page 36)

In this review we have not at' temptecl to cover all of the many activiiies and meetings which took place' believing that such complete "postmortem-1ng" is apt to be repetitious for all thole who attended. (And, if they didn't attend, would they want to read about it now?) This was an excellent convention in all respects; if there was one fault, it was that too many meetings and symposiums were crowded into the three-day schedule, to the point that attendance sufiered at some of the events, particularly those late in the day.

Mcry 1962 Red Book Off the Press

The May 1962 issue of the Lumbermen's Red Book is just off the press. It is the 161st issue of the famous credit and sales guide.

Since 1875, the Red Book has been the principal source of credit information for the lumber, woodworking and allied industries of the United States. It listsand evaluatesthe manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and quantity users of lumber and wood products of all kinds. The listings include credit ratings, business classifications, addresses a"nd other facts of value to buyers and sellers alike.

The Red Book is published semiannually and is kept up to date by sup-

plements that go out every Tuesday and Friday throughout the year. These Twice-A-Week Supplements contain hundreds of last-minute items of credit and sales information. They provide a unique service that is available nou'here else,

The Red Book agency also compiles detailed analytical credit reports, and conducts a collection service for the handling of commercial claims.

'fhe Red Book is published by the Lumbermen's Credit Association Inc. Its headouarters are located at 608 South Deaiborn Street, Chicago 5, Illinois, and an eastern brancl-r is mair.rtained at 99 Wall Street, Nen York 5, New York. Inquiries to either office will receive prompt attention.

You may be familiar with the beauty and warmth of wood. But do you als,o know how faithfully our forests have served us-ho'lv strong, how durable, how versatile and practical wood is?

To test your knowledge of wo'od, the Na,tion,al Lumber Manufacture,rs Association h'as especially designed th'e following quiz of ten ques,tions. How to score: nine or ten right: you're a blockbuster; s,even or eight: a qualified woodsman; five or six: a whittler; less than five: blockhead. (School-age chips oft the old block should do best.)

Town Girl's Song

Oh, should a gypsy lad come by A-journeying from north to south, Perhaps I'd match my stride to his And take his kiss upon my mouth. But on the other hand, perhaps, I'd only smile and wave my hand To wish him godspeed on the way To Cairo or to Samarkand.

-Marion Bussang

But give brorvn, Just days of little fleecy clouds, days.in some little town. The little days are comforting, they settle one to res-t, They stir the fire aud sweep the hearth and do tl.reir very best

To make the world a happy place in which to live and die, So give to me the little days, ancl let the great march by.

The Good Things In Life Are FreeIn The Country

"All that is really beautiful is not put up for sale but is offered us as a gift by the immortal gods. We are allowed to watch the sun rise and set, the clouds sailing in the sky, the forests and the fields, the glorious sea, all

without spending a penny. The birds sing to us for nothing, the wild flowerJwe may pick as we are walking along by the roadside. There is no entrance fee to tl.re starlit hall of the night. The poor man sleeps better than the rich man' Simple foocl tastes in the long run better than food from the Ritz. Contentment and peace of mind thrive better in a small country cottage than in the stately palace in town. A few friends, a few books, indeed a very few, and a dog is all you need to have about you as long as you have yourself. But you should live in the country. The first town u'as planned by the Devil, that is why God wanted to destroy the Tower of Babel."-

NEW Home lmprovement Plon to Help Locol J'M Decrlers

Johns-Manville has announced a new Certified Home Improvernent Plan to he p i,ts building material dealers get a larger share of the ever growi'ng home improvement market.

In introducing ,th'e Plan, Reginald L. Johnson, J-M Vice Pres,ident and Direc,tor of Advertising, said, "This program is aimed at helping our dealers keep the home impr.ovemen,t business in the trands of rtheir local contractors rather than lose it to out-of-town firms."

Mr. Johnson explained 'that unrder the Plan Johns-Manville will appoint e'stablished local dealers as "headquarters for certified J'ohnsManville home i'mprovemettts." J-M then will certify the reliable local conitractors who are recommended by the dealers and who agree to the fo lowing code of ethics:

-to make no exaggerated claims or misrepresentations,

-to supply only Johns-Manville materials applied in accordance with J-M specifications,

-to promptly ,sa,tisfy legitimate customer complaints.

"In return," said John'son, "Johns-Manville will supply dealers and their contractors with special promotional aids. These will include an identification card, signed by the J-M district manager, to help win the confidence of homeowners."

J-M also will offer a 'tested direat rnail plan to help locate prospe'cts for reroofing, re-siding and interior improvements. It will make av,ailable m'ats for local advertising and a carefully developed publicity program to help dealers announce the new service to their comrrunities.

A large, colorful sign will iden'trify each dealer as "I{eadquarters for Certified John.s-Mar-rville Home Improvements," and centified contractors wi l be offered s,igns, decals, a m'easuring guide for roofing and siding jobs, roof in'spection report forms and a handsome selling por,tfolio.

Teco Announces Avoilobiliry Of Umbrello Shed Design

Timber Engineering Company has announced the availability of a typical design sheet showing details for the construction of an nmbrell;u shed. Calling for the attachment of roof trusses to center poles spaced 8' on center, the design features both a singlc and double type shed with roof spans 14' and.28' respectively.

Detailed in TECO's design are suggested fabricating and assembly methods including procedures for erecting trusses on poles. 'IECO Wedge-Fit split ring connectors are specified for strong, tight connections and evenly distributed loads at lapped joints. To provide extra tie-down of roof joists the use of Trip-L-Grip framing anchors is recommended.

According to TECO the umbrella shed can be used for a wide variety of uses where economical coverage is desired. The structure is particularly ideal for storage of lumber and building supplies since material is readily accessible from either side. Other suggested uses include storage of farm equipment and coverage for livestock.

Copies of TECO's design are available without charge by writing Timber Engineering Company, 1619 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C.

CRA Siding Given FHA APProvol

The Californ'ia Redwood Assooiation has announc,ed approval by the FHA of its specialty reverse board and batten siding pattern, Santa Rosa sid,ing. Neil A. Connor, DrirecLtor of the FHA Architectural Standards Division, advised rthe Association that 'the pat,tern ,is now cons'idered "sui,table for

use in propertie's concerned with FHA mortgage insurance."

"'Ih,e Association wishes to thank all those membe.r m'ill representatives, wholesalers, and builders who helped gain the FHA approval," said Phili'p T. Farnswor'th, Executive Vice President. "We feel the approval will me,an even greater increase in this useful profitable product."

Santa Rosa siding, resawn from 6/4 stock to produoe a fu," board, and. a f" underbatten, bo,th with fresh resawn faces, was developed with the builder and rthe dealer in mind.

Notionol Lumber Statistics

National lumber production in March totaled 2,778,000,000 board feet, an 8.7 pe.r cent increase over the preceding month, reports the Na,tional Lumber Manufacturer,s Association. Softwood lumber accounted for 2,383,000,0@ board feet of this itotal and hardwoods for 395,000,000 board feet. Compared to the 1961 total for the same nronth, this year's March lumbe,r production showed a gain of 3.0 per cent,

The volume of new orders received in M'ar:ch totaled 2,854,000,000 board feert, excee'ding the monrth's production of lumber by 2.7 per cent. This figure also represents a 3.8 per cent increase over the previous mon,th's new orders, but a 13.7 de,crease of new orde,rs compared with March 1961.

Total shipments of softwood lumber from the mills in March were 2,441,000,000 board feet, 2.4 per cent above production. Hardwood shipments amounted to 479,00Q000 board feet, 21.3 per cent over the m,onrthly production figure.

New Window 9ill Shope

First Advcnce in Yeqrs

A new extruded window still shape, developed by Johns-Manville, represents the first advance in many years in either materials or me,thod of installation of these important building components. use of the nerv shape for school, indus,trial, and o,ther multi-windowed structures, can considerably speed installation of exterior window sills, as well as cut down future maintenance, according to the manufacturer.

Composed of J-I[ Colorlirth, the extruded s.hape incorporates a built-in slope that eleminates many of the time-consunr,ing operations needed for init,ial installation of wi,ndow sills in new construction, or replacement in older buildings. Colorlith is an ino,rganic mixture of synthet'ic calciu,m aluminum sil,'icate binder. reinforced with finelvdis:persed asbestos fibers, inrtegrally mixed with chemically-resistant i,norganic pigments and fillers. This compos,it,ion gives the new sills uniformity and strength, withou,t the veins or itratifications that cause failure in st.one or slate.

USDA lssues Bulletin On Monoging the Fomily Foresl

The U. S. Department of Agriculture has issued 'a bulletin on farnily fores't managemenrt, designed to aid the 4.5 million American farnilies who own mo're rthan half of the country's commercially valuable timberland,

that ,is ,expected to supp,ly half of .the^ Nation's foresrt products by- ih. y"a, 20m.

The bo,oklet, "Managing the Famrily Fores,t," tells ,owners of small woodlands how to bring their fores,ts up to the produotive requirements of future ,timber markets. It reviews forest management techniques that Government and indus,try have developed to marre forests more productjve and p.ofitrbl". Irt describ,es the techn,ical forestry issistance now available from State foresters. Federal_ State Ex,tensrion Service, industrial foresten:s, Soil Conserva.tion Disrtricts, and independenf consulting foresters.

In order to keep up with anticipated con_ su,rnp,t,ion in the year 2000, the Nation w,ill have to grow an estimated 22 billion cubic feet of wood annually-l0 b,illion more than

Kiln-Dried PINE WHITE FIR INCENSE CEDAR

was consumed in 1951. Although Governmen,t and other large timber .hotding:s are expec'ted rto produce close to capaoity, much of this increased growth will have to come from the "farnily fore,sts" which cover 265 million acres, rrnostly in traots of less th,an 100 acres each.

Since publi'cation of the last bulletin on s,mall forest management 15 years ago, both the number of foresters working in the field to ,he'lp landowners and the number of landowtlers' interested in improving their forests have incr'eased. As a result, foresrt owners, more th,an 60 percent of whom are farmers, no longer ,have to be d,o-it-ynurself foresters.

Whrile rth,e new bulletin des,cribes latest methods of plan,ting, seeding, s,ilviculture, pest and fire .control and harvesting, it also points out ,matters on which f.orest owners should

seek ,th,e advice of a professional forester.

The b'ulletin was p.repared by the Co,opera- tive Forrest Managemen,t Drivision of the USDA's Forest Service, wh,ich has maintained a program of Federal-State aid for small forest owners since 1924. Encouragemen! of good fo.re,stry practrices on private land has been part of Forest Service policy since the ,agency was founded in 1905.

Force-Flo

Two and one-half quart volutue adhesive guns are loadcd f aster attd more economically with a new adhesive gun loader just introduced by Force-Flo, Inc., P' O. Box 2112.East Clevcland 12, Ohio.

The new loader is advantage'ous to the dry wall building and roofing industries where dry walls are in'stalled by the adhesive method in which the efficien filling and operation of volume adhesive gunrs is importan t.

A handle, piston rotl and disc, vertical loading tube and a metal base are contained in the operating un,it of the adhesive loader. 'fhe top structure of the un.it is placed on top of a fift1'-pound, five gallon pail of adhesive rr-raterial of s'tandard 11r/a" diameter and s,ecured to the base by two connecting rods. An adapter on the loader permits the fasttening of a screw and breech-lock volume adhesive guu for loading.

Within the operating mechanisnr of the loadel is a system of levers that are actuatecl l>y working the pump handle of the loader. This action exerts nraxilrrunr downward pressure on the unit's piston to fo'rce the material fronr the pail into the adhesive gun. Approximately f r>ur strokes, on the handle of the unit, are all that it takes to deliver two-anda-half rluarts of matelial into the gun.

The I'orce-Flo v'olume adhesive gun loader is sturdl', safe, ecotrotnical and easy to operate. Its use results in cleaner, better work with savings itr operation time, material and

effort on all jobs under all weather and atmosphertic conditions. The ou,ter surface of the adhesive gun is always clean to assure easier gun handling and clean hands. The necessity of wiping cloths and costly cleanins solveuts is eliminated.

A follower-lock on the pis'ton rod, of the unit, automatically stops the piston disc at the level of the material in the pail. This feature seals the material in the container, when the loader is not in use, and prevents the material from drying out or skinning over' Savings of 30/o ot more in ma"terial are realized beiause the action of the piston's seal wipes the sides of,the pail clean as it travels to the bottom of the container. There is no was'te. T'here is no contam,inartion of material. The formation of air pocke'ts is prevented in the loading opera,tion from material to the cornpletely filled adhesive gun.Sales are under the direction of Harry E' Jones, sales engineer of Force-Flo, Inc.
