Ray Van Ide, owner of the Pasadena lumber wholesale firm. announced last month he had expanded his sales staff and coverage to meet the heavy demand for materials from the mills his concern represents in Southern California and Arizona.

Several months ago veteran salesman Ed Seward joined the Van Ide staff following more than 25 years' experience in the southland area. Ed is prominent in civic and social affairs in the "Crown City" and active in fraternal organizations, including HooIIoo.

Tom Conklin, graduate of the University of Washington, with 10 years training at the mill level, recently became identified with the firm following a complete education in production and remanufacturing. For the past six years Tom has been co-owner of a planing mill at Gualala, California. Prior to that time he secured his basic training with Weyerhaeuser at Longview, Washington. He will cover a sales territorv for Rav Van Ide Lumber Sales and resides at Newport with his wife and two sons.

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.
