Building Moteriql Costs Up

Recent price boosts by manufacturers of residential aluminum siding has raised the question: Which building materials have increased the most and which the least since W'orld War II?

The leader, according to a wholesale price tabulation of MacKay-Shields Economics, Inc., is asbestos cement shingles which recorded a gain of 97 percent from 1947 to 1963. Next comes building brick, up 59 percent since World War II, followed by fabricated structural metal products which show a rise of 36 percent.

Lumber has recorded the next-to-smallest increase, a modest 28 percent. Only concrete building blocks can boast of a smaller price boost, 21 percent. The composite increase for all construction materials during the 16-year period is 38 percent.

Redding Club Hosts "Bosses Night"

Eureka Hoo-Hoo-Ettes put on their hostess hats recently to treat their bosses to dinner at Club 9's annual Bosses Night meeting. Out-of-towners on hand for the affair included Myrtle Heney oI San Francisco and Hoo-Hoo-Ette national president Pat Howard of Redding, Cal. Nearly 100 gals and their bosses attended the party which was steered by club president Barbara Jarvela of Brishtwood Lumber Co.

Lumber Agoin Wins Bqttle

The lumber industry has beaten down new attempts by competitive interests to talie away a multi-million-dollar market for wood construction.

The latest effort soueht to eliminate fire retardant-treated wood from Building Ofrcial"s Conference of America (BOCA) codes applicable to Type I (fireproof) and Type II (Non-combustible) construction. The codes regulate building in some 400 communities in the East and Midwest.

Lumber's position was challenged during the organization's annual conference, May 24.29 in New York. Again, as in 19606I-62, presentations by representatives o{ NLMA and the American Wood Preservers Institute convinced BOCA tllat fire retardant-treated wood deserves its present hard-won classification in the codes.

70 Yeqrs Young

When Los Angeles was a small town of less than 50,000 population, E. J. Stanton & Son was established to service retail lumber dealers in the southern area. This company has shown a steady growth during these past seven decades and has kept pace with the ever-changing complex of the lumber and building materials distribution throughout the southwest.

"In celebrating our 70th Anniversary.we want to exp{ess our sl,ncerg appreciation to our many friends, customers and sup. pliers," said LeRoy H. Stanton, Sr., president of the pioneer concern.

Lumber Museum Closer

Tacoma's long-planned "Camp 6" lumber industry museum moved a big step closer with announcement by the Tacoma Junior League that it has voted $15,000 from its treasury for support of the project, according to Mrs. Richard Haley, League spokesman.

Advisers for the museum are four men distinguished for their knowledge of lumbering: authors Nard Jones, of 'Seattle, and Stewart Holbrook; Kramer Adams, now of San Francisco, district manager of the American Forest Products Industries; and L. C. Forrest, Hoquiam forestry executive.

The Park Board has set aside 20 acres as the Camp 6 Museum site. Its development as an outdoor feature will be a long-range project, says Mrs. Halep who could not forecast when it will be open to the public.

.The only other lumber museum in the Northwest is a small one in central Oregon.
