architectural clistinction. The builders of Vacation Village,-M. H. dia;; Construction Co., of Sarr Diego, were faced with the fact ttlrr it-r. island on which they pla-n19{ to build was of made land' iii" ,".rfi,i dredging operati,ons in Nlis_sion.Bay. Such soil requires ;;;;-f"";i"tions,-tt-tit go dowl to solid bedrock, or the found.ation -iifri Jtt.. O"" pracTical solution would have been to build all ;h;i;;;;; buildings on pili'g, cut off at the floor line-just as docks and wliarfs are built.

But after discussing the problem, both architects and builder "g...d on a boldet .i.p: use long pol.es,. telephone poles, driven iE.o-;"t" ,fre ground, not only for Ioundations, but let them extend hi;t i;'th; uii to become both structural framework and an archil"3t"t"t accent. This was the plan adopted'

A further problem had to be solved. when untreated wood is b;.e i;;rtth, it is quickly attacked by rot, termites.and_other in...ir.1t would be necissary to use pressure treated po_les_. However, it.-*".a preservatives ordinarily used for treating telephone poles,

Village Inn and Tavern, the Conference Center (which accommodateJ350 persons), the outdoor amphitheatre, seating 500, and four other restaurants and snack bars.

One of the first thines the visitor to Vacation Village is apt to notice is "all those gree'n telephone poles". Everywh,ere he looksinside and outside tfie maior buildinis, the Observation Tower, the Kiosks, the Covered Walkway-his iye is caught by the soft glimmering green of rustic looking poles and other _coppery green lumbe*r. Tf he is observing, tre will quickly tealize that these poles have been used not only fir their unique lppearance, but more importantly, they are the itructural foundation and framework arouncl which the principal structures are built.

This way of building is known as "pole-type" construction, and, although ttbt tte*, in Vacation Village-this use of poles has reached a new height in architectural insight. Much credit must b-e given to Mr. Eldridge T. Spencer, and his associates at Spencer & Lee, the San Francisco arihitect's firm that conceived and designed the entire island of pleasure.

But the first consideration '\,!'as not a matter of appearance, or wharf piling and for other industrial purposes leave the surface of the wood oily, discolored and ill-smelling. Some other preservative would have to be found, one not offensive in close exposure to crowds. fhe exlensive use of wood ond wood poles ot 'Yocotion Villoge" indicotes lhol wood need nol tqke o bqck seot lo any of the new building moleriols. The green color of lhe poles, resulting from copper solts in the Bqxter Chernonite preservstiva formulo, is porticulorly pleosing os used in lhese covered wolkwoys.

The solution proved to be Baxco Chemonite. This preservative, which effectively protects against rot and termites, also leaves a clear, non-oily surface, with no odor.

The green colorresulting from copper salts in the Chemonit,e preservative formula-was a decorative bonus !

More than 1200 Baxco Chemonited poles were used in the construction of Vacation Village. IVIany residents of San Diego must-have noiiced the forest 9f green telephone poles rising on the island during the months while pile drlver crews were at work installing them. And ninety-nine per cent of the observers must have wondered what on earth they were for.

When you visit Vacation Village - and make it soon-you'll find-out. You'll discover that when functional necessity is touched by creative imagination, a brand new architectural form cal result. Yes, from just plain green telephone poles.

Edgefi Becomes WCIA

G. Cleveland Edgett was named executive vice president of the West Coast Lumberman's Association at a May meeting of the board of trustees in Portland, according to W. R. Garnett, president.

- E4gglt succeeds H. V. Simpson who has held the post since 1946. -Simpson, who has retired from active work. was elected vice president of the associa- tion and will serve in an advisory capacity.

Edgett becomes the fifth man to serve as executive officer of the 51year-old association. W. C. Miles was 1!r_e__fi1st secretary-manager when WCLA was formed in 1911 and was followed a decade later by R. B. Allen.

The modern era of the association. which has seen its greatedt growth and

Executive Vice President

a broadening of service to the lumber industry, started when Colonel W. B.

Greeley was elected secretary-manager in 1928.

Greeley was noted for his work in developing a sound forestry program for the Douglas fir region, and it lvas under his direction that the tree farm and Keep Green programs were perfected. H. V. Simpson became the first executive vice president in 1946 and during the past 16 years took the lead in developing the association's nationally known lumber merchandising and promotlon programs.

Edgett, who has been assistant to NIr. Simpson since last October, has spent his entire career in lumber production and merchandising. He is a graduate of the Universitii of Washington and his lumber experience includes several years of promotion and development work in England and Europe.

'Ihe neu' WCLA exe'cutive has led the industry's fight against Canadian lumber imports. His intensive research and supporting data on Canadian lumber threats to American lumber producers are notv widely accepted as basic by Congressman and governmental officials. His proposal for a quarterly quota on Canadian lumber has won unanimous support from the nation's lumber industry.

Enough rows of trees to cover 33,141 acres, an area slightly smaller than Washington, D. C., were planted as rvindbarriers in 1961. Most of the plantings were on farms in states of the northern Great Plains.
