R edlcood For Every Purpose

tuna, Conference president for 1959. Headquarters will be at the Flamingo hotel.

For the first time in many years there will be no showing of heavy logging equipment in connection with the conference. Decision was made by the Conference directors with the thought that an equipment show might accompany the conference approximately -once in three to four years. This has been the pattern of the Pacific Logging Congress.

The choice of Santa Rosa was prompted by a generous offer from the Santa Rosa Convention Bureau of free meeting place, souvenir programs, registration assistance and many other inducementi which were received favorably by the Conference directors. Though the move to Santa Rosa represents a break in tradition between alternate meetings in Eureka and Ukiah, the choice was made in recognition of the increased importance of the timber industry to Sonoma county.

The decision to meet at the earlier dates in March also represents a break with tradition, since the Conference has met al- most every year in May. The earlier dates were chosen to encourage more loggers to attend at a time when operations are not normally in full progress.
