Three New. Pllnrood Films Avqiloble As Scrles Hypo

Three new fihns being distributed by American Plywood Association this summer tell plywood's story from agricultural pallet bins to Alaska's earthquake. Each film was produced for a specific t)?e of audience and circulation and will be controlled to some extent, according to A.P.A.'s James Hackett.

The first, "Design versus Natureos Violence" will emphasize the importance of proper plywood construction based on lessons learned from the recent Alaskan earthquake and from 1960's Hurricane o'Donna" which did millions of dollars damage to the Florida coast. This film will be shown primarily to building ofrcials such as inspectors, code officials, engineerq architects, insurance underwriters and lenders.

"Plywood Pallet Bins for Agriculture," is the story of the role of plywood pallet bins in the agricultural material handling revo-

This color film, which runs 20 minutes, shows handling of nearly every agri. cultural commodity from field to processing.

Screening will mostly be limited to farm and produce groups, agricultural engineering societies, collegeJevel agriculture classes and similar groups. Requests for bookings will be handled by Hackett or William A. Greibeler, manager of agricultural field services for the plywood association at the Tacoma address.

Most general of the three new filrns, "The Miracle in W'ood,'o is actually a revised version of an association film previously avail' able. This 20-minute color film tells the story of plywood from its raw material state in the woods to application in construction and industry. "Miracle" was revised to bring it up to date and to include the new American Plywood Association name.

As with the other plywood association films, ooMiracle in W'ood" is available {ree to interested groups. The only cost is return postage and insurance.

Page aM)

Bernie Hartung recommended these programs for the consideration of the International Hoo-Hoo Advisory Committee:

(l) Organize training sessions for retail lumber dealers on how to conduct home improvement classes for consumers. (2) Organize and conduct "how to buy lumber" sessions for both dealer and consumer. (3) Continue Forest Products Week. (4) Conduct a wood design pro. gram which would include a symbol and emblem. (5) Lumber grading seminars.

(6) Sample wood kits for architects.

General discussion was held on these and other suggestions for local level wood promotion. Bronson Lewiso chairman of the Tools Committee, reported that they are working on canned programs which local groups can put into efiect.

It was also moved that Hoo-Hoo take the positive approach in promotion. not the negative.
