No one can explain Lincoln.

Reared on the soil of "Old Kentucky," he came out of the invisible, walked up to his task, performed it, and went back into the invisible again. Humble, he never realized that he was great. It is now a known fact that for days after he delivered his Gettysburg Address-now admitted by the entire world to be the most sublime utterance of any strictly human being in this world's history-he considered that his words had been a failure. They so deeply impressed

But he did not realize that fact, and was again bowed down with a sense of his own inability. The great Russian, Tolstoi, called him "A Christ in miniature." And he WAS. And so is every man who reflects the spirit of the Galilean-humility, lovingness, tolerance, pity, understanding, helpfulness, sympathy . .

He is a man who always likes to mark The books he reads, with lines for emphasis, Calling attention to some rare remark Which coincides in point of view, with his.

An old man used to have a lot of fun trying to buy life insurance although he was 85. He would corner a life insurance man and offer to buy insurance, and when the agent told him he was too old, he would ask what difference that made. The insurance man would of course tell him a man of his age was too likely to die, and the old man would ask if they would sell him insurance if he was 25 instead of 85. Of course the answer was yes, and then the old man would drive home his clincher. He would say: "Young man, did it ever occur to you that a heck of a lot more men die at 25 than at 85?"

The U. S. Export Expansion Program and lts Effects on the Northwest Foresf Producfs Industry

by JAMES M. OWENS, Director Forest Products Division, Business ond Defense Services Administrotion, U.S. Deportment of Commerce

Being an qddress presenfed $y Mr. Owens qt theWorld Foresf ProdvctsTrqde Seminar, Oregon Sfclfe College, Corvolfis, Oregon, Jvne 2, 196l

T AM DELIGHTED to have this opportunity to discuss r with you President Kennedy's export expansion program and its efiects on the Northwest forest products industry. Increasing exports of U.S. forest products and, in fact, of all U.S. goods, is of prime interest to the President and to Secretary of Commerce Luther Hodges, who is directing the export promotion program for the White House. It is a program that receives daily attention in our office. Because of this I was delighted to come to the West Coast to discuss with you the opportunities that industry has to increase its foreign business.

Although U.S. exports of forest products are a relatively small percentage of total U.S. output of forest products, these exports are nevertheless big business in terms of dollar value. In 1960, U.S. shipments abroad of lumber and wood manufactures amounted to $193 million, and we sold $410 million of pulp and paper products to our foreign customers. The Pacific Northwest made a significant contribution to this achievement, as evidenced by the fact that out of a total of $94 million of lumber exports, $60 million, or nearly two-thirds, came from this region. While precise figures on West Coast exports of pulp, paper, paperboard and products are not available, the volume is nevertheless a subslantial part of total shipments to world markets. Obviously this foreign trade meant a great deal to this area in improving profits, keeping the industry operating at a higher level than would otherwise have been the case, and providing employment for many workers.

Greater Export Opportunities

It is our firm belief in the Department of Commerce that the decade before us rvill bring new and greater export opportunities to the American forest products industry. This prediction, I might add, is based on continuous discussions we are having with industry and its trade associations. Increased teamwork between industry and Government is indicated. In addition, there is need for more effective marketing, marketing research, and intensified selling efforts on the part of industry to participate profitably in this attractive but competitive business. Ever increasing export

opportunities are rising out of the population explosion around the world and out of the growing drive of people everywhere toward an improved standard of living and a better education. It is superfluous to say that housing and paper are basic to the attainment of these goals.

Competitive Position Will Require Adjustments

Now, I do not wish to imply that the road to expanded trade in forest products is going to be as smooth as a super highway. We can already see bumps ahead, even though at this distance it's hard to tell how big they actually are. We know that the industry is apprehensive about the formation of regional economic groupings abroad, such as the European Common Market, the European Free Trade Association, and similar arrangements in Central and South America. These developments will undoubtedly bring about changes and adjustments in the competitive position of American products. In the opinion of some observers, however, the creation of mass markets overseas comparable to what we have in the United States will eventuallv lead to increased demand for American-made goods, altirough our exports may be composed of somewhat different items than they are at present. Meanwhile, it may be of interest to note that discussions are being held at the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) conference in Geneva with a view to minimizing disruptions in trade with the Common Market and the EFTA which might be caused by reductions in the internal tariffs of these two trading blocs. Our Government representatives at Geneva are fully acquainted with the desires of the American forest products industry in this connection.

Inspired by a strong urge to make maximum use of their own natural resources, many of the developing nations of the world are building up domestic forest products industries. As these industries expand and diversifv their production capacity, in some casei under the prote6tion of high tariffs or other devices, traditional suppliers to these markets have occasionally found it increasingly difficult to do business with them. In many instances, however, the over-all growth of a country's ec6nomy is such that domes-

tic production is insufficient to meet the enlarged demand in certain lines, with the result that ner,v e*port trade op- portunities are opened up. Further, especially in the case of pulp, paper, paperboard and products, it is most difficult, or for that matter, impossible, for one netv mill or even a few new mills to produce economically all the thousands of specific grades and products required in a country. Your Government is carefully following the economic growth of countries around the world and is attempting to make sure that whenever a country's economy is sound enough to stand on its own, barriers to U.S. exports are rembved. This is a very important matter, and again makes teamwork between industry and Government essential if we are to increase our exports-for who knows better than industry that artificial trade barriers, such as high tariffs and quotas, must be removed before our exports will be increased.

It is our sincere belief that the American forest products industry today is interested in exports as a long-term proposition. This type of approach is basic to incrEasing export sales, and I can assure you that your Government will give you full cooperation in encouraging continued attention to exports, for unless a sustained effort is made to keep our exports up, our balance of payments difficulties may return in an even more troublesome form.

Program's Goals

You will recall that our national export expansion program was conceived as one of a number of related measures to correct our payments imbalance. This program was ceslgneo to :

1. Maintain the United States position as a leader in tl-re promotion of mutually beneficial international trade ;

2. Strengthen the balance of payments position of the United States to assure its continued abilitv to Durchase supplies from abroad;

3. Extend the benefit of trade to the American people generally, by stimulating in U.S. industry an increased interest in export trade;

4. Assure for American industry the full opportunity to share in the expanding market in the industrially developed conntries of the free world ;

5. fncrease private U.S. business participation in the economies of less developed countries, and thus assist these countries in their development efforts ;

6. Enable U.S. business, both large and small, to increase their sales abroad and thereby add to the growth of the economy.

I should like to mention briefly some of the specific services that the Department of Commerce, as the Government's primary business development agency, is providing to exporters.

Among the services to exporters that are most practical

to newcomers and established firms alike are (1) Trade Lists-lists of firms handlring specific commodities in foreign countries; (2) World Trade Directorv reportssummary reports on individual foreign firms, containing the data to determine suitability of these firms as trading connections ; (3) Trade Contact Surveys-specialized consultations by Foreign Service Officers to suggest agents and distributors-which meet an American firm's specific requirements ; and (4) -y agency, the Business and Defense Services Administration (BDSA), which has 25 Industry Divisions representing a broad spectrum of American industry. As you may recall, my Division-Forest Products-follows United States and world trade in all forest products on a day-to-day basis. \Are have information on commodities world-wide. This you can put together with the general economic and political factors that are developed by the country desks in our sister agency in the Department of Commerce-the Bureau of Foreign Commerce. These are well-honed tools for the firm that desires to take the initiative in increasing its exports. These tools are available to industry on the West Coast through the Department of Commerce Field Offices in Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. They are also available through my office.

\fue have an equally positive service for the business firm which may not know his goods are wanted abroad-the Trade Opportunity Service. These trade opportunities are specific inquiries for U.S. goods, sent in by our Foreign Service posts around the world, accompaniecl by details on the proposed transaction to assure its bonafides. In 1960 we published about 6,500 of these foreign requests for U.S. goods, an increase of more than 50 percent over 1959. Part of this increase is undoubtedly due to the removal of import restrictions which began to occur in many foreign countries ; but most of it, in my opinion, is due to the irrcreased cooperation between industry and Government in approaching the export markets. Information of this type is published in the Foreign Commerce Weekly, a publication of the Bnreau of Foreign Commerce, available by subscription tl-rrough either our Field Offices or the Superintendent of Documents, LI.S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C. I clo not know where you can get rnore information on export-import leads. In addition, I call your attention to the Pulp, Paper and Board Industry Report, whicl-r is published quarterlv by our Division. Each issue carries a column highligting export trends. This is also available through subscription to the Superintendent of Documents.

Are You Aware of New Markets?

Many American companies are still unaware that products can today be sold abroad that formerly were practically prohibited because of the restrictions placed on imports from the dollar area by foreign countries ever since World War II. There is constant need for government and busi(Continued, on Page 76)

American Hardboard Association Expands Promotional Program

A N EXPANDED promotional pro- l, \ gram necessitating an increased assessment from member companies was approved by the American Hardboard Association at its semi-annual meeting in Portland, Oregon.

Donald Linville, executive secretary of the Association, told the meeting- the largest in the Association's nineyear history-that the new program is geared to widening public understanding of hardboard and its uses. There will be continued emphasis on the present highly successiul "Plus Values" campaign in addition to educational advertising and public relations activities, Linville said.

Commenting on the success of the "Plus Values" program which was instituted less than a year ago, Linville said that the response on all levelsbuilders, building materials dealers and industrial u5s15-h25 been most gratifying.

He pointed out that the educational program is particularly important in view of last year's unparalleled list of new products developed by the industry. These products, ranging from improved boards for exterior siding to handsome textures and finishes for interior decor, open up entirely new markets which the public must hear about.

During the meeting Linville said that the per capita consumption of hardboard in this country had more than doubled during the decade of the 50's.

Two new officers were elected at the meeting to replace members who have resigned. One new director was named. They are: Howell Howard, executive vice-president of Edward Hines Lumber Company, to association vice-president; Paul Shoemaker, executive-vice-

president of Masonite Corporation, to association secretary; Alan B. Cook, general sales manager of Abitibi Corporation, was elected a member of the association's Board of Directors.

Distribution of a booklet entitled "The Story of Hardboard," which was three years in preparation, has begun, Linville said. Prepared and distributed in cooperation with American Forest Products Industries, Inc., Washington, D.C., the illustrated 16-page booklet describes the manufacture of hardboard and its use in simple language designed to appeal to students and the general public.

Initial acceptance of the booklet, Linville reported has been enthusiastic.

More than 80,000 copies of the original printing of 100,000 have been distributed.

Te c h n ical committee chairman, Harold Ely, reported that the Association has entered into a ioint research project with the Nationil Paint, Varnish and Lacquer Association to develop paint recommendations and specifications for exterior hardboard applications.

George Fewson, production committee chairman, reported that six member companies had reported a perfect safety record since the last annual meeting in November, 19ffi.

Hal Ellicott, chairman of the group's promotional committee, said that the Association's expanded promotional efforts would supplement the activities of the member companies in increasing trade and consumer knowledge of hardboard products and applications. He noted that the American Hardboard Association was the first building materials Association to sponsor run-ofpaper color feature articles in the nation's leading newspapers. Because of the initial success of the first two releases, an increased budget will be appropriated at the Association's annual meeting to be held in Chicago, November 16-17.

The lmportance of Lumber Grading

by ROIF D. GTERUM West Coost lumbermen's Associotion

A T THE MILL LEVEL, every man who handles West A Qe351 lumber or operates a machine through which it passes makes a contribution to the quality of the product as a result of his knowledge of grades.

Almost as soon as a tree is cut, it is handled and manufactured according to the grades of lumber it can produce. In some cases the day's orders, for example, will determine the type and species of log which the pond man sends into the mill.

As a log is broken down into cants at the head rig, it is the responsibility of the head sawyer, as he opens up the log to cut it in such a way that the highest grades possible can be obtained from it.

After the cants leave the head rig, grade is a primary consideration in the subsequent operations. The resaws and edger are set with grade recovery in mind, as are the trim saws. Often, for instance, the trimming off of one or two feet from an end will raise the oiece one or two grades. This care and knowledge is brought to light when the lumber passes in front of the mill grader. His is a tremendously important job, and one which requires an intimate and extensive familiarity with grades plus years of on-the-job experience. West Coast mill graders work at other less demanding jobs in the mill while gaining the required experience. When a man is judged ready to be a grader at a mill using West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau stamps, he is "checked out" by a WCLB supervisor, and his work is regularly supervised thereafter. Since no two pieces of lumber are ever the same, a grading tolerance of. 5/o. is permitted to allow for a difference of oprnron among lnspectors.

A mill grader learns to identify and evaluate grading characteristics at a glance. Much of this talent comes only

Eorily removoble chqlk morks ore urcd whcn gruding clcorr. All lumbcr is grcded wifh lhe END USE of rhe piccc in mind. from experience. I(not size, slope of grain, depth of skips, and other characteristics are taken into account and the piece is graded accordingly.

Lumber grading has been traced back as far as the middle of the 18th Century, when it was practiced in Su'eden. Many have searched for a short cut to good grading, usually through use of electronics or sonics, but thus far without success. It still takes the imagination, determination and plain common sense found only in the human mind.

Pacific Coast Wholesale Hardwood Association

Holds 3 8th Annual Convention on lsland of Kauai

The travel folder says: Kauai is the smallest and oldest of the Hawaiian chain and basks in rare tropical beauty. Its lush foliage and floral growth has caused it to be named the "Garden Island" . . and that is why the members of the PCWHDA selected this beautiful south seas spot for the 38th annual convention May 12th to 16th inclusive.

The mainland warriors converg'ed on the Kauai Surf Resort Hotel, combining business with relaxed pleasure, including side trips to the other islands.

James W. Higgins, J. E. Higgins Lumber Company, San Francisco, California, was elected president for the 196l-62 fiscal year and Jim Sullivan, of San Diego, was named lst vice-president. Don Braley, United States Plywood manager, Los Angeles, was selected for the important post of 2nd vice-president and John M. Higgins, San Francisco, will handle the finances of the association as secretarytreasuref.

Named to the board of directors to handle administrative and policy matters was Don White, K. E. MacBeath, Bruce

Mclean, L. B. Culter, Hal Von Breton and LeRoy Stanton, Jr.

Following the various business meetings each day the boys and girls entertained at beach parties, cocktail parties and golf tournaments. Trips were made 'round the island, up the Wailua river and to a Hukilau at Poipu beach. -The climax of the gala afrair was held May 15th when the 'membership attended the annual banquet and dinner party, preceded by cocktails and followed by dancing to soft Hawaiian music until the wee small hours of the following morning. The Aloha party included a special Luau af Kalapaki Beach before the mainlanders left for Honolulu and home.

"I hope this has become one of the finest conventions we will-enjoy for a long, long time," said retiring presi dent of the lumber association, LeRoy H. Stanton, Jr.

Guests present included Mr. and Mrs. Dick Grey of Honolulu Sash and Door Company, Roger Skolmen of the Department of Agriculture -and Consirvation, Hqgolulu, and Mr. and Mls. Clyde Doran of the Hawaiian Village Corporation.

Harbor Kiln Presents Unique, lndispensable Service

T) EPRESENTING AN investment

I\ of well over a cuarter of a million dollars, Harbor K;in Co-p^ny in Alameda in just six months of operation is processing lumber for more than 30 leading importers and wholesalers in the Northern California area. Operated and managecl by veteran kiln marr Coy Brown, the installation is the only shipside dry kiln plant in California.

Built for Harbor Kiln Company bY Encinal Terrninals in cooperation with the Bloxham Engineering Company of Berkeley, the plant is located directly adiacent to Encinal's Berth 6. Covering some fottr acres of Encinal properiy, the installation offers importers, exporters and processors of lumber a vaiiety of services including loading, unloading, storage, drying, planing and processing of lumber; grooving, processing and storage of Plywood; and on-the-spot rail, truck and ship connections.

One of the most modern Plants of its type, the company can kiln drY uP to a million board feet of lumber a month in its battery of Bloxham kilns which circulate air in a "figure eight" pattern from blowers located down the middle of the double track kilns. Bloxham engineers claim this departure from conventional circulating methods allows better moisture control and a more even flow of air to all Parts of the charge . single track efficiency withthe 6onus of double track capacity, if vou will.

' Completely sold on his nerv Bloxham setup, Brown has spent liis life in two rathir incongruous professions-killr drying and Ire flyirig. A rrative. .of Westwood, Brown learned the kiln business at the old Red River Lumber Company at Westwood, which back before the war operated the largest battery of kilns in the World. During the same period Brown also became interested in flying and after a few years became a commercial pilot for

Ited River in combination with his kiln activities there.

Brown returned to Westwood after serving as a bomber pilot during

!VWII. resumed {ris kiln activities with Fruit Growers, and became one of the first fire flyers for the company. Later, as the industry became aware of the value of aircraft in spotting and fighting forest fires, Brown also fleu' for the U.S. Forest Service and the Paul Bunyan Lumber Company.

During 1949, Brown moved to Redding where l-re established his own kiln ooeration under the name of B & D Lumber Company, continuing that business until shortly before becoming financially interested in the development of Harbor Kiln Company. Also associated with Brown, who is vicepresident and general manager of the firm, is William Drury, of Tacoma, a rvell known Pacific Northwest heavy equipment dealer.

ness information services to bring to the attention of American exporters this expanding demand abroad. This we do through our publicafions, notably the Foreign Commerce Weekly, which I mentioned before; and the World Trade Information Service. Here again we are getting a big boost from the trade associations, who are doing a fine job of "passing the word."

You will be particularly interested, I believe, to know that for several years my Division, with the cooperation of the Export Committee of the American Paper and Pulp Association, and the Foreign Service of the United States, has been conducting foreign surveys of the markets for pulp and paper. These surveys have covered numerous countries throughout the world where significant market opportunities exist. They contain a wealth of useful information on the production, consumption, and foreign trade of these countries in pulp and paper, and specific opportunities for the sale of these products by American companies. These basic reports are supplemented by frequent briefer reviews in releases entitled "\Morld Pulp and Paper News,"

Some of the more effective aspects of our trade promotion efforts include participation in international trade fairs around the world and the sending of Trade Missions to foreign countries to promote trade and facilitate commercial understanding. I am sure many of you know that the U.S. Government sponsors exhibits of U.S. products in many of the major international trade fairs of the world. These exhibits include a trade information booth in which foreign buyers may learn about products of the manufacturers who are not in attendance at a particular fair.

Before the end of this year our 100th Trade Mission will have gone abroad, and industry and Government will have benefiled from the donated services of several hundred American businessmen in this productive program. From four to six businessmen give six weeks to two months of their time to the Government and, under the leadership of a Department of Commerce official, cover a well-planned itinerary in a given foreign country or group of countries, discussing how 'rve do business in the United States and promoting American products. These Trade Missions carry specific requests from American companies seeking overseas trading partners. Our Trade Missions frequently have several hundred specific business proposals to present to the numerous businessmen whom they interview. Each Mission is equipped with a large library of American trade journals and business directories, donated by the American publishing industry. Usually these libraries are left with the local government or Chamber of Commerce in the host country for use as source material to answer future inquiries. I had the pleasure of directing the Trade Mission tb Yugoslavia in 1959, and we like to claim a major share of the credit for the increased trade between Yugoslavia and the United States.

Now, let me come to a most important announcement regarding our expanded export promotion program. O^u,r firit Trade Centei will be opened in London on June 26, 1961. This permanent center we hope will be followed by several in other parts of the world-the Far East, T,atin America, and Africa-as quickly as they can be organized. This showcase for American goods will display and sell American products the year around. The Government provides the Jacilities at no cost to the exhibitor, but the exhibiting firms are responsible for packaging, rvrapping, and shipping costs to the display point. You will be interested to know that the reception room of the London Trade Center is panelled with- beautiful U.S' hardwood plywood and floored with U.S. oak.

It is planned to have exhibit themes featuring different (Continued on Page 24)

As Mr. Tlardyment has pointed out, we are lagging behind in permits issued for both homebuilding and commercial construction. but few plywood people consider the current 'let-down' as anything more than a readjustment position of relatively short duration. The importance of plywood is too great and the growing uses being found for plywood are too numerous to allow for permanent damage. This industry is still looking forward with confidence."

McWhorter has been identified in wholesale lumber sales at the dealer level for more than eight years. He has managed the Santa Ana sales offices for another firm for the past two years and has covered the southern territory of San Diego, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside and Imperial

Diamond W Supply Raises Roof . . . For General Electric Textolite

Have you ever seen over one million square feet of G. E. Textolite gathered together under one roof ? Well, it's quite an impressive sight, and you don't have to wait any longer to see it, because it's on display right now at Diamond W Supply Company, Los Angeles.

It was during the month of May that Diamond W decided to go into the distribution of plastic building materials for their customers. During the same montl-r the company's officials supervised the construction of racks to accommodate the huge inventory.

According to Ralph Singer, general manag'er, General Electric has made progressive strides toward developing a rvide variety of Textolite patterns and finishes which will aid in selling the product to the ultimate consumers. Both the exclusive mists and textured finishes are examples of General Electric success in modern building materials.

Diamond W Supply continues to offer daily delivery in their complete sales area, and according to Stu Nfackie,

Diamond W's Textolite division manager, the availability of G. E.'s revolutionary new product has never been better. Mackie took over the responsibility for Diamond W's Textolite Division during May, and since then he has been supplying consumers from the company's inexhaustible stock.

\A/hen you're in the need of plastic building materials, plrone Iris Hasson at OVerbrook 5-74N. Iris u'ill quickly pass your request on to Stu Mackie, and in a short perioil of time, Diamond W Supply will fling open their warehotrse doors at 6416 East Flotilla Street in l-os Angeles, and speed the beautiful G.

Export Exponsion Progrom

(Conttnueil from Page 76) lines of American goods to be worked out in cooperation with trade associations and industry groups. Our first show in London will feature housewares and is a coooerative venture with the National Housewares Manuficturers Association.

The May 19 issue of THE LUMBER LETTER, a weekly publication of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, has an interesting item on the London Trade Center. I quote:

"The {Jnited States Department of Commerce has extended an invitation to the American lumber industry to participate in a 30-day lumber and wood products exhibition at the permanent United States Trade Center in London. The lumber exhibit would be held some time this fall during the period between October l-December 31.

"A preliminary survey of a group of known current and former exporters of lumber to the United Kingdom has indicated considerable interest in participating in such an exhibit. The exhibit will be a cooperative effort of the participating firms, who will be responsible for developing the exhibit.

"Companies interested in participating, and desiring more information are urged to contact NLMA promptly."

Consideration of export expansion would be incomplete without reference to the growing Japanese market, which is a striking example of what is happening around the world.

Not only in the past year, when Japan's gross national product rose by about I0l percent-one of the highest rates in the world-but over the past decade, the Japanese economy has experienced unprecedented growth. It is expected that the next decade will see an unusually high rate of growth in Japan-as much as a 7rl percent rise in GNP per year. By 1970, the Japanese per capita GNP should reach about 40 percent of the current U.S. figure. There is ample evidence that this booming market, with continually

growing population-which by 1970 is expected to exceed 100 million people-can be, over the next decade, a consumer of enormous quantities of American goods.

Specifically, as to housing, a minimum of 6 million family dwelling units, exclusive of apartments, are expected to be constructed in Japan over the next few years. This construction will require tremendous additional quantities of lumber.

Japanese import restrictions have been the major concern of the Department of Commerce, and we, together with the Department of State have been successful in getting the Japanese to ease many of these restrictions. Further liberalization of Japanese trade is expected to be achieved. This should provide greater opportunity for U.S. businessmen to sell in the Japanese market on the basis of equality with other foreign suppliers, as well as with domestic producers, of lumber, other building materials, and a wide range of other products.

Some indication of the growth of the Japanese market is evident from U.S. lumber export statistics. Exports of Pacific Northwest softwood lumber to Japan nearly doubled between 1955 and 1960. And in the first three months of 1961, softwood lumber exports to Japan from the Pacific Northwest increased 65 percent over shipments in the first quarter of last year, reaching nearly 21 million board feet. This is just a beginning. For example, the Commercial Bulletin, published in Boston on May 6, reported news of Japanese plans to purchase 120 million board feet of hemlock baby squares every month for the remainder of the year. Whether or not actual purchases reach this figure, this report does indicate that recent levels of lumber exports to Japan may well be dwarfed by the coming business from that rapidly developing country.

To sum this up, it is clear to me that with industry and Government working together, our exports will continue to rise with lasting benefits to both industry and the American people.

Robert 5. Osgood Firm Begins 4oth Year

Jrly 1 is an auspicious date for Robert S. Osgood, for it was on that day in 1922 when he first established the Los Angeles branch of The Wheeler, Osgood Company. The firm has grown and prospered ever since, handling many phases of lumber business, and today an able and active sales organization covers the entire United States.

The story of the Osgood firm and its founder, Bob Osgood, is in many ways the story of the growth and modernization of the lumber industry. Bob, born in Tacoma. Washington, in 1899, is of an old-line lumber family.

Both his father, George J. Osgood, and his grandfather, George R. Osgood, were prominent loggers, lumbermen and millwork manufacturers, starting in the Northwest in the 1880's.

Bob Osgood commenced his career in lumber in 1914-at the early age of 15-in San Francisco as office boy for the legendary James Tyson of Charles Nelson Company, then among the largest lumber and shipping people on the Pacific Coast. He has been in lumber ever since, except for a six-year "lapse" in the automobile business in Santa Barbara.

Osgood became sales manager for

Washington Veneer Company's grouD of plywood. lumber utid -*illworft plants in 1931. At the end of 1932 he returned to Los Angeles as sales manager for Cadwallader-Gibson Company, the leading Philippine mahogany importers and manufacturers of that period; he spent the next eight years promoting the sale of Philippine hardwoods throughout the United States in happy association with Roy Barto, the president of Cadwallader-Gibsbn.

Those were the days, reports Bob, when sales u'ere not so much "managed" as "manufactured," and he used to spend about seven months each year traveling throughout the United States developing Philippine mahogany markets.

World War II put a stop to Philip- pine business, and early in 1942 he opened a general wholesale and commission office handling "woods for war," including softwood and hardwood lumber, imported woods from South and Central America, aircraft plywood and veneers and all lumber products.

When the war was over, Osgood returned to his old love, Philippine mahogany, and he has specialized in Philippine lumber and plywood since then. He is a long-time member and a director of the Philippine Mahogany Association.

Jim Forgie, just out of the Air Force as a Lt. Colonel, joined the Osgood firm in January, 1946. Jim is the son of Osgood's old friend, Bob Forgie, prominent and popular member of the lumber fraternity on the Pacific Coast since the turn of the century. Today Jim is vice president of Robert S. Osgood, fnc., and handles all softwood limber and specialty items. He has done much constructive work in promoting National Forest Products

Son John R. Osgood came into the organization on July l, 1949, becoming the fourth generation of Osgood lumbermen. Tohn is also vice president of bermen. John president the firm, in charge of all plywood a: d and veneer activity, and is currently vice president and director of the Imported Hardwood Plvwood Association.

Bob Osgood himself continues to handle the imported hardwood lumber end of the firm's business, drawing

supplies of lumber, veneers and ply;r wood from every corner of the glob6 -with special emphasis on Philippine and Japanese hardwoods.

A Hoo-Hoo family, father George J. was a member of the Supreme Nine in the 1920's. Bob was Vicegerent Snark in Los Angeles, first in the late L92O's and again in the '40's. Son John is just finishing a very successful administration as president of Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club No. 2.

Jim Forgie was Snark of the Los Angeles Club in 1955-56, 1956-57, and is currently one of the mainsprings of National Forest Products Week.

In addition to lumber, Bob Osgood has had two other great loves in his his life-his family and the game of golf

Bob and his wife, Edith, live on a beautiful hilltop in Pasadena. They have four married daughters and, of course, John, son and business associate. There is a formidable array of 13 grandchildren-quite an "Osgood forest" in itself.

Bob has been an enthusiastic golfer for 40 years, and still plays to a handicap in single figures. He is a member of Annandale Golf Club in Pasadena, a member of the Board of Governors and tournament chairman of Senior's Golf Association of Southern California. He is also an active member of the unique Terrible Twenty golfing group which has held consecutive monthly tournaments since its inception in 1926.

It is interesting to note that Bob Osgood and The California Lumber Merchant started out on their own at the same time-July l, 1922. States Bob, "I have enjoyed every issue of The California Lumber Merchant since that day, and consider the industry particularly fortunate to have had the benefit throughout the years of Jack Dionne's constructive thoughts, penetrating philosophy and rare humor."

We venture to say that the Osgood family in its four generations has been good for the lumber industry and will continue to be so. We hope The California Lumber Merchant, similarly passing the "Jack Benny mark of 39," has and will continue so, too. We know the lumber industry has been good to all of us. rt'

Scrn Froncisco lncreqses "Coi" Populotion

Entirely too many Cats strayed away from the May Concat sponsored by San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club 9, but the ceremonies were pulled off with typical San Francisco know-how regardless of the attendance. The meeting was held at the Leopard Cafe, l4O Front Street, on the evening of. May 23.

Although the paid membership of Club 9 ranks it as a large chapter (over 140 paid members), the percentage of active members is entirely too low. Every San Francisco lumberman has an obligation to support his club, one of the oldest in the International Order of Hoo-Hoo, established just after the turn of the century.

The May Concat, which was ably handled by past prexy Ben Ward, was

staged after a big prime rib feast and a libation period in the club's own private room. An invitation had been sent to Santa Clara Valley Hoo-Hoo Club 170 to participate in the Concat, and Club 170 responded by entering two Kittens in the ceremony. Club 170 prexy, Merl Tanner, and vice-president Verlon McKinney, were on hand to keep their part of the show running smoothly.

With the more recent outing of Club 9 at Candlestick Park on lune 13 (Giants 4-Dodgers 3) the San Francisco lumber fraternity will take a vacation breather, resuming activities with an election meeting during either August or September. All members are urged to watch for this meeting announcement and be on deck in force for the election meeting which will kick off a new Club 9 year.

Junior logging Conference

Feqtures Procticol Troining

The Redwood Region Junior Logging Conference was attended by 100 students from the redwood-Douglas fir region early in May. The conference held at the Mendocino Woodlands near Fort Bragg marked the ninth year of RRCC's forestry educational programming. Southern California was represented by John Thomas, Jr., a student lrom Glendora High School, chosen to attend by the Southern California Section of the Society of American Foresters, and three students from Placerville represented the Western Pine region.

John P. Sweeley, Assistant Forest Manager of Masonite Corporation, Ukiah, headed the conference committee, assited by over fifty representatives from private industry, educational institutions and State and federal forestry agencies.

The conference program was one of intensive training in all phases of the forest products industries of the region, with day-long tours and demonstrations. Evening programs were devoted to discussions of subjects ranging from taxes, job opportunities and the use of wood as a structural building material.

The session opened with forestry students competing in eight forest field events. When the events were completed, students from Eureka High School, who had placed first in four events, had secured the coveted team trophy, a chromed felling axe mounted on a polished curly redwood board. Tl-ris year for the first time second and third place plaque awards were given with Ukial-r High School team taking second and Arcata High School team winning the third place trophy.

April lumber Production Wos 2,567,0@,000 Boord Feet

National production of lumber totaled, 2,567,000,000 board feet during April, 1961, according to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. The April lumber output declinecl five percent from March and was 16 percent below April 1960. This year's April production included2,237,000,000 board feet of softwood lumber and 330,000,000 board feet of hardwood lumber.

As was true for production, April mill shipments as well as the volume of incoming orders were below year-ago ler.els, with hardwoods registering a more pronounced

During April, 1961, unfilled order files for all types of lumber declined four percent. By the end of the month, unfilled orders for softwood lumber were six Dercent above the year-ago level, while hardwood unfilled orders were still substantially below the end of April 1960.

Gross mill stocks of lumber on April 30, 1961, approximately equalled the inventories on hand on the corresponding date last year.

For the first four months of 1961, an estimated total national production of 9,828,000,000 board feet of lumber fell 17 percent behind the similar 1960 period. Mill shipments, meanwhile, have been off twelve percent, while new orders were six percent below the comparable first four months of 1960.

Light Evening for Black Bart's Black Cats

More than 60 Black Bart Cats staged a big get-together at Brooktrails Lodge, near Willits, the evening of May 17. Prexy Swen Gummer of Builders Lumber Company acted as genial chairman of the proceedings. Brooktrails Lodge, now the property of Firco, Inc., Willits, provided a true lumbermen's setting for the meeting which kicked oft' with the usual "h"ppy hour" at 6:39 p.m. This enjoyable interlude concluded, the big group feasted.pn a delicious prime rib spread, seasoned with some good ,humored fining of the membership-with Elmer Paduli "winning" this event-and general good natured high jinks.

An exceptional after-dinner program was presented by

the California Highway Patrol, featuring a film covering several highway disasters, their causes and the tragic dfter- math resulting from these negligent driving examples. While necessarily of a rather sombre tone, this film has a definite place in the planning of any club's annual program.

On to even bigger and better things, the Black Bart Hoo-Hoo Club will again sponsor its annual golf-swimbarbeque outing on July 28. Tee-off time at the Ukiah Municipal Course is 8:30 a.m. The big swim and barbeque will begin at 3:30 p.m., again to be staged at the Moores' homestead in Ukiah-compliments of genial host Bill Moores, president of Hollow Tree Lumber Company of Ukiah.

This Acrion Speoks for lrself

Placing "principle" before profit, two Seattle woodworking machinery manufacturers have refused an opportunity to provide Russia with automatic lumber-sorting equipment despite U.S. State Department approval of tne aeit which would help Russia build "the largest and most highly automated sawmill in the world."

M. E. Hillman, head of Republic Electric & Development Company, and Gordon B. Anderson, president of Puget Sound Fabricators, Inc., both of Seattle, declined the subcontract opportunity from Yarrows, Ltd., of Victoria, B.C., despite the size of the estimated $150,000 order and a $40,000 profit.

Mr. Hillman has been quoted as saying that Republic Electric would "have no part in handing the advantage" to the Russians "to close the gap in the superiority of North American technical know-how f.rom 20 years to two years." Anderson, whose firm was to supply fabricated portions of the six REDCO patented memory-control systems, stated his company will have nothing to do with "giving aid and comfort to an enemy."

Timber Operoting Permits Revoked

The timber operating permits of the B & B Lumber Company, Eureka; Carl Olson Lumber Company, Trinidad; Reynolds and Petral, Arcata; Bill Millsap, Arcata; and Kenneth Chisholm, Arcata, have been revoked by DeWitt Nelson, Director of Natural Resources following hearings upon charges that they have violated the F'orest Practice Act.

Revocation of the permits became effective June 27, 1961.

All respondents rvere accused of failing to comply with certain requirements of the Forest Practice Act and the Coast Range Pine and Fir District Forest Practice rules, including cutting and logging practices in forest harvesting or woods ope{ations and failure to fall snags. All respondents, with the exception of Bill Millsap, did not comply with the minimum soil erosion requirements. In addition, the Carl Olson Lumber Company and the B & B Lumber Company failed to file Fire Plans required for operating areas and the latter also failed to file an Annual Notice of Timber Operations for 1960 with the State Forester's Office.

The accusation against the respondents was made by F. H. Raymond, State Forester, who is charged with enforcement of the Forest Practice Act.

Hearing on the accusation was held in Eureka, California, on February 15, 16, and, 17,1961, followed by an examination and inspection of the operating areas involved on February l8th, by Coleman E. Stewart, Hearing Officer for the State Division of Administrative Procedure.

Robert H. Connett, Deputy Attorney General from Sacramento represented the State Forester in prosecuting the charges.

In commenting on his decision in the matter, Director Nelson emphasized that "it is extremely important that we protect to the fullest possible extent one of the most valuable renewable natural resources within this State.

The Forest Practice Act and the forest practice rules prescribed under its .authority, are designed to promote sound forestry practices, the- continuanJe of the timber rn-dustry and the maximum productivity of timber lands of the State so that th-ere wili be adequite forest prod".t. to meet the needs of future generatio-ns.,,

State Forester Raymond eipressed satisfaction with the outcome of the heaiing and the decision of the Director of Natural Resources. He stated that several cases involv_ ing alleged violation of forest practice rules in this and other forest practice districts are being processed to the Attornev General's__Office, while still oth"eis are being i""..iig"i"i by his office for possible prosecution.

l/f ENIBERS OF THE Portland (Oregon) Home BuildIVf. ers Assn. l-rad just 72 hours to build their 2300-foot model home (plus 440-foot attached garage) for their 1961 home sholr'.

Yet, it drew "oirs" attd "ahs" from more than 45,000 visitors and has just gone into the history books as one of the ruost successful the Portland builders have ever attempted.

Working closely with Georgia-Pacific Corporation, the designer and builders incorporated big-panel factory finished plywoods and hardwoods, 2-4-I combination subfloor-underlayment in 4x8-foot T&G panels, and beams in lieu of floor joists and roof rafters.

Big sheets of plywood textured siding and sheathing went up fast and enabled an equally fast dismanteling job when the show was over and the successful home sold.

The tight 72-hour schedule was necessary to squeeze a 10-day show into tl-re busy schedule of Portland's new $8,000,000 Memorial Coliseum.

The record time was achieved, according to President Leo Hoffard, by combining new building materials, new techniques and unbelievably close coordination by the model home building committee.

The long living room-dining room feature wall was all in factory finished pecan, and the master bedroom had an eye-stopping wall of factory finished walnut. A hallway facing on an open center court with bamboo trees was paneled in real bamboo plywood, a recent G-P import.

Coordination of the speedy assembly job shared importance with the use of factory-finished big-panel materials, according to the general chairman, Vincent Raschio, who is a past president of the association. His model home committee was composed of two other past presidqnts, M. M. (Sam) Wolsborn and John A. Mcleod, and Hoffard, this vear's nresident.

TEtt THETIA YOU SAW IT ADVERTISED IN THE CATIFORNIA TUTIBER TIERCHANT

New Resin-Fiber Inlroduced By U.5. Plywood

A new light-weight, super-smooth, plywood panel has been introduced by United States Plywood Corporation as a quality, low-cost rnaterial for the manufacture of outdoor signs, store fixtures, display cases, partition panels, ofifice, restaurant and garden furniture.

The new panel has a tough, resin-fiber surface that, according to the company, takes and holds paint better and longer than conventional plywood or lumber.

"The extremely smooth surface of this new Weldwood Super-Smooth Duraply is achieved through the use of genuine Philippine mahogany veneers under a specially engineered resin-fiber coating," Clinton Andavall, U. S. Plywood product manager, reports.

"This coating eliminates grain 'photographing,' or showthrough and results in impeccable paint jobs at low cost. The light-weight, high-strength advantages of plywood enable manufacturers to produce top quality products without sacrificing production economies," he adds.

The new panels come in standard 4'x8',9' and 10' sizes. They are available in thicknesses of from 5/16" to 1" with the resin-fiber coating on one or both sides. Factory priming, which reduces finishing to one coat, may also be soecified. -

Super-Smooth Duraply rounds out the Weldwood line of permanently surfaced panels, which combine the advantages of plywood with smooth, wear-resistant, easily painted surfaces, such as: Permaply, Duraply and I-ebanex, Andavall said.

Don Golt is Nomed Monoger Of Americsn Wolnut Group

The American Walnut Manufacturers Association has named Donald H. Gott, former sales manager for the Marshfield mill of W-eyerhaeuser Company's Roddis Division, as its new secretary-manager, according to Clarence H. Swords of Swords-Mortofr Veneer & Lumber Co., Rock Island, Ill., association president.

In his new post, Mr. Gott will continue this activity. He also will direct the group's accelerated program for cooperation with finish manufacturers in the development of new treatments for walnut. A major item on the association's agenda, this program has helped develop a wide range of new finishes, including light tones achieved without bleaching.

Another responsibility of the new secretary-manager will be the association's longstanding forestry program. In addition to stimulating the planting of seedlings and seed nuts, the program this year is directed at improving the quality of new walnut growth.

Mr. Gott brings to his new position a background of more than 25 years in the marketing and sales of wood products and building materials. He is a past president of the Hardwood Plywood Institute. In November, 1958, the Secretary of Commerce appointed him a member of the National Defense Executive Reserve, representing the Forest Products Division.

Mr. Gott succeeds George C. Romeiser, who has accepted the post of secretarymanager of Southern Hardwood Producers, Inc., in Memphis, Tenn.

The American Walnut Manufacturers Association is composed of leading manufacturers of walnut lumber and veneers. Its aggressive promotional and merchandising programs have contributed to a major resurgence of walnut's popularity for furniture and other uses. American walnut in recent years has been the most widely used furniture hardwood.

Shortly after joining the Roddis organization in 1956 as manager of its architectural services department, Mr. Gott was placed in charge of the company's plywood and door sales. He retained those duties when the company was acquired by Weyerhaeuser.

Mr. Gott attended Pace College in New York. From 1943 to 1946 he served in the Air Intelligence Service of the U.S. Navy as a lieutenant senior grade. He was decorated with the bronze star and was given a Naval Unit Citation. Following the war he became eastern commodity manager for the U.S. Gypsum Company, Chicago. Subsequently he was general sales manager of the Great Lakes Carbon Company, New York,

assistant general manager of building products for Reynolds Metals Company and vice-president for marketing of Lumber Fabricators, Fort Payne, Ala.

Plywood Gusset Gotes

Solve

Fcrrmer's

Problem

Here's a way for rural dealers to win the friendship of any farmer that ever muttered darkly at a sagging, twisted-and expensivecommercial gate: Offer him the new Douglas Fir Plywood Association farm gate publication and a lumber and plywood package.

Just printed, the new pamphlet shows how to adapt the basic idea of sturdy plywood gusset plates to produce tough, practical gates. The idea lends itself to prefabrication or to do-it-yourself packages.

The gate lengths can range from 12 to 2O feet. All use two sheets of fir plywood and five board slats. The pamphlet has detailed drawing and tells recommendations for plywood type, thickness and grade, nail spacing and lumber thicknesses required for various spans.

The low-cost plywood gates are light weight, but have proven highly durable. An unpainted test gate installed at the Auburn, Washington stockyards showed absolutely no deterioration or racking after a year of rugged use.

The style can be altered by merely changing the shape of the plywood gussets. Finished gates can be left unpainted to weather a silver gray or painted and lettered with the owner's name.

Individual plans are available free from Douglas Fir Plywood Association, 1119 A Street. Ask for Farm Gusset Gate Plan 6t-240.

Johns-Manville Launches Nationwide Drive to Help Dealers Boost Ceiling and Floor Sales

A totally new concept in interior styling will be the focus of a nationwide drive by Johns-Manville to help J-M dealers sell more high-profit ceilings and floors in 1961.

The new J-M campaign, themed "Imagination Hits the Ceiling," is on behalf of an all-new line of high-style ceiling panels. The collection includes original patterns by famed interior decorator Michael Greer, who has also created for J-M the first ceiling and floor designed for each other.

"Imagination Hits the Ceiling" is being supported by exciting, full-color advertisements in leading national magazines beginning in late May and continuing throughout 1961. The media schedule includes LIFE,

LOOK, THE SATURDAY EVENING POST, BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS, AMERICAN HOME, SUNSET and -f IME magazines.

So that J-M dealers may tie in with a maximum of effectiveness, Johns-Manville is providing complete sales promotion kits containing a wealth of imaginative merchandising aids and ideas.

Prominent among the promotional materials is a handsome full-color, 16-page brochure, "Imagination Hits the Ceiling," which will be offered as a free give-away to consumers. Filled with ideas on room design, it shows the entire 1961 line of J-M ceilings. The new Michael Greer patterns,

including the companion floor and ceiling, are depicted in beautiful room settings. This traffic-building brochure will be featured in national advertising.

Another unique sales aid being offered by J-M is an eye-catching illuminated showroom display. Equipped to show actual-size J-M ceiling panels, the new display is available in either suspended or wall-mounted type. Each style has the message, "Ceilings by Johns-Manville" on a translucent panel. The ceiling panels used in the displays can be interchanged simply by lifting out, as new designs become available.

The story of J-M's new concept in interior styling is also told in a motion picture, "Imagination Hits the Ceiling." In color and sound, the film is ideal for "do-it-yourself" clinics, contractor meetings, parents' groups and civic organization meetings.

Other material in the promotion kit includes pre-prints of national advertising and a variety of free ad mats. Also available are attractive envelope stuffers which duplicate the Michael Greer-designed ceiling panels and interiors depicted in the brochure.

t"Facts about Johns-Manville Ceilings and How to Instail Them" is the title of another collsumer booklet contained in the promotion kit. Striking wall banners and windorv streamers complete the package.

Johns-Manville has commissioned interior decorator Michael Greer to do a series of ceiling panels in 1961, the first four of which are now available. "Bamboo Trellis," for which Michael Greer has created a companion floor of fallen "Bamboo Leaves," comes in decorator shades of red, green and yellow. The other Michael Greer patterns include "Medallion," available in green and grey; "Floral Tracery," in turquoise; and "Architectural," a geometric design in white.

An entire room designed to feature the "Bamboo Trellis" ceiling with its companion J-M Terraflex floor of "Bamboo Leaves" is currently on display at the New York Design Center.

J-M's new concept in interiors is being supported by an intensive publicity progran in addition to national advertising and promotion.

"lmoginotion Hits The Ceiling" is the theme of o notionwide drive by Johns-Monville to promofe its l96l line of high-style ceilng ponels ond o brond new concepl in inleriors-lhe firsl componion ceiling ond floor. J-M's oll-new line of ceiling ponels, including originol designs by interior decorotor Michoel Greer, will be feolured in full-color ods in seven top notionol mogozines. All J-M deolers will receive o complete kit (shown obove), contoining o weolth of merchondising oids. For further informotion see occomponying siory.

Willominq lumber Emborks On lmprovement Progrom

Improvements to production and utilization facilities of Willamina Lumber Co. are now under wav with the placement of orders for the basic equipment, iccording to John C. Hampton of Portland.

The Nicholson Manufacturing Company is currently producing a 43" Roto Barker for the plant where bark free Douglas fir slabs and edgings will be reduced to chips and shipped to Kaiser Gypsum Company at St. Helens. Hemloc\ chips are destined for the Columbia River Paper Mills.

Hampton notes that Western hemlock has become increasingly important to the plant. In order to provide inventory balance and optimum quality control, modern Moore steam kilns will be installed within the next 30 days.

Since 1952, the plant has operated a 36" Mill Engineering Company gangsaw on a 2" dimension program. Conversion of this machine to incorporate automatic overhang will minimize log sorting and permit maximum feed rates on logs of varying diameter.

vSatisfaction is sweet music, because it brings them back for more.

Production and sales will be tailored around a log mix of about half each, Douglas fir and lvestern hemlock. Fir production is shipped unseasoned in specified lengths with 22' through 28' comprising a heavy percentage of the total. Kiln dried hemlock will be channeled mainly into 1200-F and 1500-F 2 x 4 for truss manufacturers. Complete control of humidity and temperature in the modern kilns will also permit quality drying of widths up to 2x12.

Hobbs has been grade and price, year after year, for over 95 years. That's why it can help build business for you. For mixed shipments, by carload or truck & trailer, check frsf with your Hobbs representative.

redwood right for right for

During mid-March a Nicholson barker was installed at the company's Canadian division, Hampton Lumber Mills, Boston Bar, B.C. Since all logs there are handled without pond facilities, removal of the bark has stepped up the daily cut through elimination of the grit problem. In addition, better grade recovery has been achieved from .better analysis of clean logs by the sawyer.

Hampton also notes that better handling methods will result from the purchase of a Le Tourneau 60,000f log stacker. Faster truck unloading and smoother log flow to the barker infeed and cold decks are provided by this massive lifting capacity.

The combined annual cut of 50,000,000 bf for the Boston Bar and Willamina plants is sold by Hampton Lumber Sales Company of Portland, Oregon.

New Supplemenf-Rules No. 15

A new supplement to STANDARD GRADING AND DRESSING RULES No. 15 has been published by the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau, Portland, Oregon. The new supplement, Number IX, is in three parts, (a), (b) and (c).

Section (a) provides for grade stamps bearing "ALL HEART" designation for items of Western red cedar Dimension and Timbers which have been graded to exclude sapwood. This provides Western red cedar material which may be used as foundation lumber.

Section (b) provides for slight tolerance of I/64" f.or "sqrlare end trim" in "DEX" Heavy Wall and Roof Plank in ill West Coast species when orders specify this term.

Section (.) covers Western red cedar Bevel Siding grades, including several changes in nomenclature. The terms "New Bundling" and "Old Bundling" have been replaced with "Nested Bundling" and "Full Length Bundling" which more accurately describe the actual bundling practices used. Also, the top grade of cedar Bevel Siding has been changed from "Clear" Bevel Siding to "Clear" V.G. All Heart Bevel Siding.

The formerly-recommended head lap of l:/4" for 8" widths and wider has been changed to 1" in conformance with FHA Minimum Property Standards.

Two new paragraphs have been added to cover the new industry products of Factory Primed Bevel Siding and Glued-Up Bevel Siding.

I\TUME,ROUS ACTTVTTTES, both I\ serious and humorous, highlighted the June lzth meeting of the Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo-Ettes Number 1 in Rodger Young Auditorium.

In the realm of the serious, the local Hoo-Hoo-Ette's outgoing president, Sallye Bissell, presented the Ida Cunner Scholarship Award to Miss Martha Chavez, a graduate student at Lincoln High School. Miss Chavez was rated in the upper 25/o of all California students who were administered the Iowa Aptitude Test. Martha will receive $200.0O from the Hoo-Hoo-Ettes toward her college education. She was also awarded a $25.00 check by Marquart Wolfe Lumber Company of Hollywood for her education fund.

Words of praise and encourag'ement were heaped upon her by club members and guests, and Sallye Bissell, outgoing president, presented tl-re attractive scholarship winner with a beautiful "hard-won" floral center-piece.

The California Lumber Merchant

Dear Don:

Last Friday's Hoo-Hoo meeting was lots of fun and we think that the "Old Timers" whom we were honoring had a good time.

This was the last meeting of the 1960-61 year and a new slate of officers is coming in. It got me thinking over the weekend that Hoo-Hoo is indebted to many people who work long and hard for the Club.

Ilowever, the fact is that our Club could not hope to do any kind of job without the interest and support of The California Lumber Merchant. You have all been really generous and fine to the whole Hoo-Hoo Club. It's time we registered heartfelt ap- preciation to The California Lumber Merchant.

On behalf of every Hoo-Hoo, many thanks! With best regards to you, Ole and all-John R. Osgood, retiring president, Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club.

New Vermiculite Policy

Members of the Vermiculite Institute of Chicago have adopted a new policy that will assure high quality in vermiculite concrete roof installations, coast to coast.

Edward R. Murphy, managing director of the institute, announces that member companies are now contracting with approved roof deck applicators to assume responsibility for the quality of the finished vermiculite deck, and to install it in strict accordance with institute specifications. The institute will issue annual certificates to such applicators, and they will be listed in a roster for architects, engineers, general contractors, and built-up roofing companies.

He Even Knew Which One

You can't get away from the primeval interest of man in woman. Or in a particular woman. Take the man who had a tragedy in his young married life, and with the hatred of all women in his heart and the ambition never to see one again, or to allow his young son to fall into their clutches, he carried the baby boy away into the fastnesses of the mountains and there lived the life of a hermit, and raised the boy to manhood without any knowledge of women or even that there was another sex.

And, so the story goes, the boy grew to young manhood in this condition. But one day he and his father were following a mountain stream, they came suddenly upon a party of campers gathered around a picnic table. In the party were three young women, and the mountainbred youth stared at them in utter amazement. But it was only a momentary glimpse, for the father grasped his son and jerked him back into the thicket, and away from the sight of the sex he had hated so long.

In answer to his question when he was so unceremoniously jerked back from the sight of the campers, the boy was told that those three people were Devils and was warned never to think or speak of them again. But a change came over the youth. His appetite left him, his spirits fell low, and he could not sleep. He fairly pined away. His condition became so alarming that his father was forced to inquire about it, and the boy admitted that he had something on his mind that he could not be rid of by day or night. Much worried the father said: "My son, your health

A.W. NETH LUlulBER SALES

and happiness are all important to me, so tell me what is this spectre that is bothering you." And the boy answered:

"It is that tallest Devil, Father, that tallest Devil."

For even in that one fleeting glimpse he had had of the three girls, he had made his choice.

Each tile acts as an air-supply vent that helps distribute air evenly across the entire ceiling surface. Kept under constant static pressure, air flows through all slot openings at the same velocity to keep ceiling-to-floor tcmperatures consistent.

'Ihe air supply within a desired sector of the room is easily controlled by adjustable slides on the back surface of each ACOUSTONE ceiling tile. Slides n.ray be quickly adjusted from below to achieve proper balance.

With diffusers and rnost air-supply ductwork eliminated, the cost of the heating and cooling system is ofter-r reduced. The resulting uninterrupted ceiling surface allows greater flexibility in placing light fixtures and furniture, and in relocating ceiling-height partitions.

New Teco Templotes

Simplify Roof Truss Loyout

Timber Engineering Company has announced that it has developed a new series of cutting templates to simplify the layout of TECO split ring roof trusses. Available for slopes ot 4/12, 5/12, 6/12 and, 7/12, the new templates eliminate any need for the

layout of a full scale pattern truss in order to properly determine angle cuts.

Made of %" hardboard material, the TECO templates are shaped according to the slope and size of lumber used in the roof truss. Holes representing bolt holes and ring grooves are drilled in each template. When these holes are brought into alignrrent with holes previously made in the uncut truss members, the angle cut for the slope involved is correctly plotted.

In using TECO's new templates, the l)roper sequence of fabrication consists of first plotting and drilling bolt holes and ring grooves in accordance with information provided on TECO typical designs. Angle cuts are then plotted by placing templates over the bolt hole and ring groove locations. No pre-assembly of truss members is required.

TECO advises that cutting templates are available at a nominal cost. For further information write Timber Engineering Company, 1319 l8th Street, Northwest, Washington 6, D. C.

Oregon-Pacific Establishes Truck - Trailer Fleet

Oregon-Pacific Forest Products Corporation, a Portlandbased lumber and plywood firm which distributes throughout the United States, has augmented its distribution service by setting up its own fleet of trucks and trailers to make deliveries in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, IJtah, Wyoming, Colorado and Nevada.

The new service, in operation several months, rounds out Oregon-Pacific's shipping program which includes heavy rail and water movements.

Oregon-Pocific Forcrt Products Corporolion of Portlond, Oregon, is now operoling its own fieet of truckc qnd trqil.rs in delivering lurnber ond plywood prcductr to declers in eight we3lcrn stotes. fruck-lrciler obove is loqded with dimenrion lumber for delivery in soulheoslern Oregon

Dealers within trucking range of the Pacific Northwest lumber-producing areas strongly favor this type of delivery, Jack J. Saltzman, president of Oregon-Pacific, pointed out. It is often faster for dealers who are located away from rail lines, and in many cases material can be shipped directly to the job site, making it unnecessary to re-haul from the dealer's yard. The trucks also provide an alternate means of transportation when suitable rail cars are in tight supply.

Oregon-Pacific is operating its trucks on regular schedule into certain areas lvhich will make it easier for dealers to program their orders and maintain balanced inventories.

A11 types of lumber products are moved by the OregonPacific trucks-regular and special plywoods, hardwood plywoods, construction lumber, large timbers and special orders. In its Portland concentration warehouse, the company maintains a broad range of plywoods and cedar products, providing great flexibility in the prompt filling of truckload orders.

Another feature of the truck delivery system is OregonPacific's ability to make shipments direct to dealers from Inland Empire and British Columbia mills, giving faster service to dealers who use substantial amounts of lumber from those sources,

Soft-textured woods like White Fir and Engelmann Spruce have been found durable and economical in the exacting use of truck decking.

Voltqire And Guest

Voltaire was at a gathering, and a friend, pointing to one of those present, asked him: "'Who is that man?"

"I don't know," said the brilliant Frenchman, "but I hate him."

"Why," said his friend, surprised, "how can you hate him if you don't know him?"

"That's why I hate him," said Voltaire, "because I don't know him."

Edgar Guest must have had this thought in mind when he wrote:

"When you know a fellow, know his every mood and whim, You begin to find the texture of the splendid side of him, You begin to understand him and you fail to scoff and sneer, For with understanding, always, prejudices disappear. You begin to find his virtues, and his faults you fail to tell, For you seldom hate a fellow if you know him very well."

Pros

"No," Mr. Edison replied, "the first one was made long before my time-from a rib."

Herbert Spencer On Thinking And Heqlrh

Herbert Spencer, the great English philosopher and naturalist, taught that our thinking and our well-being are inseparably allied to one another; that "as a man thinketh, so is he," is a practical everyday fact of living and enjoying life.

He believed that cheerful, happy emotions are comparable to sunshine on plant growth-they create health and

harmony, and as such, are constructive., Good will, he declared to be sanitary; kindliness to be hygienic; friendship works for health. These happy emotions secrete, said Spencer, a quality in the blood called anabolism, which is essentially vitalizing and life producing.

On the other hand, fear, hate, and all emotions of unkindliness evolve a toxin which tends to clog circulation, disturb digestions, congest the secretions, and stupify the senses; and aims to the dissolution and destruction of life. He believed that all that embitters, saddens, and disappoints produces a chemical change that makes for disaster, and hurries death.

"A poison," said Spencer, "is only a concentrated form of hate."

Swirched The Rhyme

Little four-year-old Bobby was. mighty sleepy, but his mama insisted that he say his prayers anyway before he crawled into bed. So he knelt at her knee, and started:

"Now I lay me down to sleep-

I pray the Lord my soul to keep-"

And then the tousled head dropped on her knee, and he was in the land of Nod. But she roused him with a loving shake, and prompted him:

"If, Bobby, if-"

And Bobby wakened enough to resume, "IF-he hollers, let him goEenie, meenie, minee, mo."

And you should come to me, and there and then Just even hint 'bout paying me that tenI might arise the whileBut I'd drop dead again.

Dry Kiln Operolor's frlqnuol Awiloble

Solutions to many problems of lumber drying and dry kiln opera- tion and maintenance can be found in the Dry Kiln Operator's Manual, Agriculture Handbook No. 188, a new publication just issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The 197-page illustrated manual was authored by E. F. Rasmussen, dry kiln specialist at the Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin, with contributions from wood seasoning experts at the Laboratory and other units of the Forest Service.

Directed primarily to owners and operators of dry kilns, the manual also contains information on the theory and practice of kiln drying, making it especially valuable as a text to students of wood technology, dry kiln manufacturers, and producers of wood products in general.

The Forest Products Laboratory pioneered research on modern forced-air-circulation dry kilns in the twenties and holds basic public patents on them. The Dry Kiln Operator's Manual summarizes much research and development done since that time, both at the federal laboratory and elsewhere.

All aspects of wood seasoning are covered to some extent in this manual. Such subjects as how wood dries and the various properties of wood related to drying, types of kilns and kiln equipment, inspection and maintenance of dry kilns and equipment, and kiln operation are described in detail. Thorough treatment is also given to information regarding the storage of wood, stacking lumber and other items for kiln drying, loading the kiln, and kiln schedules and drying times.

Copies of the Dry Kiln Operator's Manual may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office,

Washington 25, D.C., for $1 cash or money order (stamps not accepted).

Big Interest Continues ln Redwood

The remarkable grovvth of interest in redwood lumber in the past ten years is reflected in the 10,132 requests for literature received by the California Redwood Association in May-the highest monthly total ever, more requests than the 45-year-old Association received in any year before 1950, and more than the grand total for the four-year period 1945 through 1948.

More than ll00 of the letters received in May were from architects and builders. The rest were from homeowners and prospective homeowners, lumber dealers, manufacturers, and such people as members of church building committees. The more than 400 letters asking for information on conservation subjects is indicative of the widespread interest in the forest management being given to timber stands of the Redwood Region.

The May total marked the second time this year that literature requests received by CRA set a new record. A total of 7,833 letters were received in March, breaking the old record of 7,580 set in May, 1960. Prior to May, 1960, no monthly total had reached 7,0O0.

More than 32,000 literature and information requests have been received by CRA in the first five months of this year, 8,000 more than in the corresponding period of 1960.

The flood of letters into the California Redwood Association indicate renewed interest in building and remodeling, and growing interest in building with wood, and redwood in particular. Most of the letters are in response to CRA advertisements, publicity, or other promotion.
