SUPPORT THE SENSIBLE PARK AND RECREATION PLAN

. A Public Service Proiect by the Redwood Lumber Industry

Under a sensible program now being developed we, like the other redwood lumber companies, are providing thousands of acres for public use. Approximately 300,000 acres of privately owned timberlands will be made available for public recreational use more than double the acreage now held in state parks and beaches in the redwood region.

The redwood industry has learned a lot about conservation during a span of 100 years. Witness tlie Tree Farm programs and the sustained yie-ld pdticies. With the new redwood industry's regional areas program in effect, both industry and the public will make continuous use of privately owned timberlands.

A practical, workable conservation plan because it will provide BOTH parks and payrolls, the Sensible Park and Recreation Plan means that a $400,000000 industry can continue in business. lt's an important job-producing industry, vital to the economy with its large payrolls and tax revenues. Unreasonable government park proposals would cripple the economy of the redwood regron.

TARGET YOUR EFFORTS...SAVE MONEY AND MANPOWER

Fountain Bull's-Eye Seryice There are many tasks you can lay-off on us which would require additional staff or working everyone in your organization to a'frazzle if you go it alone. Take buying lumber for instance. You contact us... just one phone call, and we can give you a rundown on availability at leading mills in the best production areas. On top of this, the item you want may be in transit or in our Los Angeles distribution yard. Whether it's a mountain of decking or a mole-hill of pecky cedar, we can supply the answers, fast/

Once ordered, we do all the scheduling and checking if it's coming from the mill. We pay your freight bill so your bookkeeping department doesn't get all tied-up with diversion, dunnage and demurrage. You are billed for freight and lumber at the same time, so you don't have to put out money to the railroad before you get the product. And, everyone knows that a few days delay in paying any bill is money in the bank!

Then, there's the matter of technical services. we have people who are specialists in all phases of construction involving lumber, laminated timbers, decking and paneling... plus, they are active on building code committees to increase the use of lumber. Add to this the fact that you can save up to 2"/" per month by letting us control your inventory and you have a service which can hardly be ignored.

Next time you need decking, dimension lumber, laminated timbers, pecky cedar or any standard or special product in West coast softwoods. call Fountain firstl

EDITORIAL

Wood Morketing Council

OR SOME TIME, we have made it clear in our editorial columns that we fault the lumber manufacturers for their lack of interest in the people who are selling their products. We got quite a violent reaction from our friend Jim Cooper (CLM, May, Pg. 58) suggesting more involvement at the local level. We replied mildly in our June issue, and now we have an encouraging report (see Page twenty-four).

The Wood Marketing Council ofiers the lumber industry an opportunity to unite in striving for definite objectives that have long been sought by individuals in forest products operations. The object of the nerv corporation set up by the council is to regain and maintain markets for wood lost to competing materials. The program calls for support, encouragement and training of people at the point of sale. It seems a logical progression. How better could manufacturers of forest products enlist willing hands and minds than by actively soliciting participation and ideas and by furnishing support in varied forms to its distributors?

The council has strong leadership in Len Floan, Bill Swindells, and their board. They will be able to find a president who understands the problem and can carry out their wishes. They can make friends and believers out of the dissidents in their midst by an enlightened, unselfish program that will merit the support of all.

To our *"y -o1 thinking this is about the last chance the lumber industry will be granted to survive by mutual cooperation and understanding.

If this one fails it will be o'survival of the fittest", and we can all apply our own answer as to how well we will fare as individuals in an unfriendly jungle separated from the tribe and with little or no help from our own kind.

Time for Compromise

A S IT HAS so many times'before, a subcommit- I r tee of the American Lumber Standards Committee is meeting this month in an efiort to propose a compromise set of sizes for green and dry lumber. The subcommittee will then, presumably, recommend its findings to a meeting of the full committee who in turn will, hopefully, agree on them and turn the matter over to the U. S. Department of Cornmerce for voting within the industry. Then, if the industry agrees, the department will put them forth as a voluntary, industry-agreed upon set of standards. This is standard procedure in many industries. However, as we all know all too painfully, the lumber industry's try for standards agreeable to all has been something less than successful. But let's hope that next month- we can bring you the news that after many, many months of fighting a final agreement can at least be brought up for voting. For if an agreement is not reached, then we are afraid that the not-too-vague-rumblings from Washington may become louder and a move may be made by the federal government to step in and set compulsory standards on the pretext that the industry was unable to voluntarily set their own.

W'hile Commerce Secretary John T. Connor has pointed out that standards cannot be set by his department, he has said that other agencies such as FHA can on their own set requirements that will have far-reaching efiects. It seems not unfair to interpret many of these remarks made as inferring that the committee had better make up its mind before someone else steps in to do it for them.

In the past few years the lumber industry has laid a positive groundwork to progress and tJre regaining of lost markets and the garnering of new ones. We cannot afiord to again bring our own house down upon our heads. If everthere was a time for compromise and reasonableness it is now. We cannot urge the committee too strongly to heed the all-to-clear warning.

RI:BUltDlll0 the bridge at lsland Mountain (left) was one of the tasks facing NWP crews who recently completed a mammoth repair job following the Christmas week flood disaster.

S0UTHB0UIID FREIGIII (righ0 of lutnber, rounds a curve on the trestle below Scotia Bluffs on the northern end of the Eel River Canyon. NWP, who handles over % of northern California's lumber production, resumed normal operation list month after completing a $10 million repair job.

lllST0RlC GOID SPIKI (above) of the NWP was redriven last month to commemorate the rebuilding of 100 miles of NWP line following the disastrous Christmas week floods. The spike-which has been in Southern Pacitic's archives for more than 50 years- was the last spike driven to complete the NWP line on 0ctober 23, 1914.

Ft00D WATERS (left) sliced a huge section out of NWP's South Fork bridge. River rose 40-50 feet above its normal level in this area. The bridge has now been completely re-built by the NWP.

TYPICAL YIEIY (right) of track conditions along the Eel River alter the raging flood waters struck. All along the river slides wiped out large areas of the roadbed. The repair lob took 800 men and 500 pieces of equipment 177 days to eomplete.

Following $10 million North Coast repair iob

The Lumber Trains Are Rolling Again

orest products from California's north coastal area besan moving out in normal volume to markets all across the country June 16" for the first time since the devast' ating Christmas week floods,

On that date the Northwestern Pacific Railroad, on which the lumber industry of Humboldt County alone depends for transportation of 74 percent of its annual $160 million output, was re-opened after 177 days of repair work by some 800 men and 500 pieces of equipment in the lO0-mile Eel River Canyon south of Eureka. The iob, which involved restoration of three major bridges carried away by the raging waters oI the Eel River, and numerous stretches in which both track and roadway were obliterated, cost over $I0 million.

At South Fork, some 40 miles south of Eureka, federal, state and local dignitaries, officials of the lumber industry and rnore than 3,000 others joined officials of the NWP in a ceremonial re-driving of the original solid gold spike which was used more than a half century ago when the line was first completed.

' The historic gold spike-which rested for more than 50 years in the archives of

the Southern Pacific, parent of Northwestern Pacific-was originally presented to the NWP by the citizens of Humboldt. It was the last spike driven on the NWP to connect Humboldt County and the North Coast timber-produ,cing area with the San Francisco Bay Area when the railroad was first'completed Octomber 23, 1914.

Prior to the ceremony, the spike was certified as solid gold (with a light silver hardening alloy since solid gold would not hold into spike form) by Humboldt State College.

Immediately after the .rails were syntbolically joined in the gold-spike celebration, a 75-car train dubbed the ooNorth Coast Lum,ber Special" rumbled past the speakers s:and with more than three-million board feet of lumber from the forests of Humboldt and Del Norte Counties. This represents sufficient lumber to build about 340 ordinary homes.

The NWP has notified its shippers that it is now accepting carload dead freight from points north and south of South Fork. All freight accepted, however, may be subject to delay, the railroad reports.

This means that shippers, whose rail ser-

vice has ,been disrupted since the floods wiped out 100 miles of NWP line December 22, may load cars and move them to market through the Eel River Canyon. The embargo on LCL and perishables will remain in effect until a later date.

This action cancels the embargo issued December 23, when all less-than-carload freight and carload freight to or from points north of Ukiah was refused as a result of the washout.

Reopening of the railroad will be good news to the entire North Coast area. In Humboldt County alone, lumbering supports 73.3 percent of the economy and more than 50 percent of total employment. Resumption of rail freight service will open the way for restoration of some 2,00O timber-industry jobs and some $240,000 in weekly payrolls.

Before the floods, 74 per cent of the area's total lumber production moved to market by Northwestern Pacific. This con' stituted 80 per cent of NWP's traffic. Since the floods, some of the lumber production has been diverted to highways but produc' tion has'been greatly curtailed pending opening of the railroad.

Here's a new way to get more remodeling business.

Nobody can completely standardize remodeling jobs. They're all different-to design, to bid, to build. But the American Plywood Association's Add-a-room program simplif ies the process as much as possible. lt's based on actual plans for the eight most-wanted room additions -specific home improvements, far

easier to sell than intangible ideas or decorati ng suggestions.

These room additions, developed by remodeling specialist Don Moore, can be fitted to almost any postwar house. Yet they are easily adapted to indivldual needs. lt's the first home improvement program to combine the economy and simplicity of such basic plans with the sales appeal of flexibility.

Actual working tools of the Modernizer's Kit are described at right. YoLr also get lists of bona fide sales leads, prime prospects for home improvement ideas and materials in your area.

More than $1 billion will be spent this year on new rooms, new floor space. This Add-a-room program g,ives you the tools and sales support to get your share. aoo nnrrnnn r+ riah+

[UE SINCERELY believe this home is the most exciting and flexible design that has ever been presented in this column. It ofiers numerous dramatic and outstanding features which are very seldom obtainable in a single plan.

The downstairs bedroom, service and bath are on the same floor as the garage. Since this portion of the plan is immediately below the upstairs bedroom area, the entire left side of this home can be lowered to form a split level design for sloping lots.

Large planting areas are on both sides of the walk leading to

the distinctive entry. If preferred, reflecting pools-with or without fountains-could be substituted for the present planters.

Double entry doors flanked by wide stationary glass panels, combine to form a very glamorous entry. The spacious entry appears even larger due to the wide glass area overlooking the atrium. From the entry, one has direct access to the living room, garage, bath, kitchen and upstairs bedroom area.

The living and family rooms are separated by a double fireplace and wood box with book shelves above. If you prefer having one of these rooms larger than the other, the fireplaces could be easily moved in either direction. Sliding glass doors open from the living room to the atrium and from the family room to the patio.

The huge kitchen-dining room is accessible from many areas of the house. Sliding glass doors open from the dining room to the atrium and the patio. If desired, windows could be substituted for one or both of these doors. The U-shaped kitchen has been planned so that foot traffic will not interfere with meal preparation.

Laundry facilties and a wide broom closet are in the service. There is space along an entire wall for other appliances or a sewing table. The bath serves the bedroom, along with the remainder of the first floor. It would also be convenient in case a pool is contemplated.

From the open landing at the top of the stairs, there is a magnificent view through wide glass windows to the atrium.

An unusual amount of private outdoor living can be enjoyed in this home.

Sterling Lumber Remodels Their Oroville Yard

TUST a year ago this issue we brought d you news and picture coverage of Sterling Lurnber Company's new Chico yard. Now we find we're doing the same thing all over again, same company, but this time it's Sterling's Oroville branch.

Although Sterling eventually plans to either remodel or completely rebuild every one of its 16 retail buildine material outlets, the Oroville yard took preeedence because all yard facilities, except the store, were destroyed by fire a little over a year ago. Although most of Sterling's recent yard remodelings have incorporated the popular combination showroom-warehouse design, management decided that in Oroville's case they'd do just what the fire did leave the store alone and build one big sales warehouse for everything except store items and yard lumber. Future plans do include a new showroom at this site, but it will remain detached from the bie new wilrehouse.

Probably the most interesting part of the new building is the fact that it can, and will, double as a salcsroom for heavy building material and lumber items. Skylights and regular lighting provide exceptionally good illumination for a structure of this type and wide aisles and two large en-

trances allow the customer to drive risht in and load his purchase {afrer checking out up front in the store, of course ! ) Sterling Lumber Company, known as Adams Lumber Company prior to 1916, is headed by Sabin Carr, former vice-president and veteran stockholder in the firm.

H. C. Edmonds is vice-president, and Lloyd Carter succeeded Fred Sayre as secretarytreasurer and manager during the early 1960s.

Sterling outlets which have been remodeled or completely rebuilt in recent

years include Redding, Red Bluff, Chico, Roseville, Folsom, Placerville, Oakley, Los Gatos" Mountain View" Santa Rosa and now Oroville. This leaves only Morgan Hill, Hollister and Petaluma on the drawins board -but by the time those three yuid. ut" updated, Sterling management will probably start its remodeling circuit again. A{ter all, progress, or call it obsolescence if you wish, is a continual thing-and who should know better than the management of a firm which will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year.

Shorp Increqse in Home Building

Home building made increased contributions to the gross national product during the first quarter of 1965. A{ter three quarters of decline, residential construction outlays rose in the January-March period by about $1 billion, at seasonally-adjusted annual rates, to record one of the sharpest gains in the four-year business uptrend.

ffiffiEVERAL HUNDRED years before the Christian erao s$g Themistocles lived. He was a statesman and soldier, and :Km also something of a philosopher.

-O,oe day in a great gathering of people, many had hken turns I entertaining the crowd with musical instruments. Finally they ,asked Themistocles what he could do to entertain. And hear what -'he'said: "I cannot play upon any stringed instrument", said 'Themistocles, oobut I can tell you how to make a city grow".

';,Unfortunately, the writers of old went no further with the story.

, .Whether or not they took the great man up on his ofier, and what he said if they did, is lost in the dark clouds of the past.

'Too bad some enterprising journalist could not have been there

,.to take down the notes, and leave to posterity the secret of city building Themistocles said he knew.

, One man's guess on the subject is as good as another's. We will never know what Themistocles thought he knew. But my guess : is that he was simply going to tell them THIS fact: that men grow from within, and not from without. And a city, being simply r a group of men, does the same, and grows the same way.

The citizenship should not get the bad habit of being too well satisfied with things as they are, willing to let well enough alone; or to assume that the future of the town depends on the winds of 'chance. It is true that the Bible says that "the race is not always

to the swift, nor yet the battle to the strong", but some modern wisecracker says he still recommends them as the best bee. Godlike resdessness is what makes all the progress of the rvorld. The universe itsell seems to be the result of God's unrest. Had he been satisfied with things as they were, He would never have taken the trouble to make it.

Someone asked the great electrical wizard, Steinmetz, how a young man might best work to achieve success' and he replied: ooDo not try to see how fast you can make your machine run, but try rather to see how perfectly you can tune it and line it and make it operate; then the speed will take care of itself".

Just because your town is outstripping my town, or my town is forging 'ahead of your town, does not necessarily mean that tle faster growing one has any particular geographical or other physi' cal advantage. It usually means that the fast growing town has a cooperative citizenship who love and believe in it, and have the courage to put their shoulders and heads together to work out their own problems.

The ancient Romans built the world's first great road "that men might meet".

A great Frenchman said: ool-anguage is given us that we may say pleasant things to each other".

Wood Mqrketing Group Forms

A new national promotion organization, which will carry on the rvork of thc now defunct National \l'ood Promotion Proeram. has had its first meeting and has laid the ground rvork to expand wood usage in general and its suhscriber's output in particular.

was discontinuetl lvhen NLIIA changed its name June I to tlrc \ational Firrest Products Association.

Ccrtain individual producers, some 95 in all. representing ovcr 7 billion feet of production, who are convinccd that rr-ood can be succcssfully promoted against so-called "substitute" materials, determined at a San Francisco meeting June 8 and 9. to form a stock corporation for that purpose.

A board of directors oI twenty-five with a corresponding number of alternates, was elected. This group elected Leonard K. Floan, vice-president of Potlatch Forests, Inc. as chairman; William Swindells, president of Willamette Valley Lumber Co. as vice-chairman, and appointed a seven man executive committeeconsistingof Floan and Swindells, plus Gene Brewer, president, U. S. Plyu-ood Corp.; Tom P. Gallagher, president, New Mexico Timber. Inc.; Charles Grey. president, American Forest Products Corp.; Elliot Jenkins, general manager, wood products, International Paper Co.; Lowry Wyatt, vice-president-wood, W'eyerhaeuser Co., and M. E. Jones, vice-president, Diamond National Corp., to handle incorporation details and set up a plan of operation.

The temporary name "Wood Marketing, fnc." nas given the corporation, subject to a study for a permanent name and seal. Offices will be maintained in the Chicago area with incorporation in Delaware. A paid president will be selected as soon as possible, as chief executive officer. An experienced staff oI former NWPP men is available to the new corporation.

W'ood promotion services will be offered on a contractual basis to prospective stockholders. A first year budget of $850,000 is anticipated. l-ormulas for stock purchase will be rvorked out with various groups within the industry for manufacturers. wholesalers, remanufacturers, retailers and others, so that all interested in the program can actively participate.

The big news is in the program and the method of operation. The program contemplates regaining and maintaining lvood markets lost to competitive materials by means of field contact with specifiers, architects, designers, engineers, etc. To do an active 1'ob, the corporation will work very closely with, and enlist the active support of. the man at the point of salethe lr-holcsaler and retailer. That this is {or lumbt'rmen a revolutionarv conceDt of reaching the ultimate consumer via the established channels tf di.t.ib,ttion is fully recognized b,v the organizers and will ,be implemented in the operating budget.

The next t'xecutive committee meeting was set for Junc 29. when morc ,.pecifir: plans will be announced.

Reno De<rlers' Code Meeting

Formation of a local organization of building code officials and building inspectors in the Lake Tahoe area is a direct result of a Lumber Merchants Association-sponsored meeting held in Reno on June 2. Other anticipated results are expected to include a better working relationship between local building department and lumber dealers.

"This was a most fruitful meeting," commented LN'IA President Charlie Dart, "for it brought together the men responsible for enforcing local building codes and the men who supply the materials and products upon which the codes depend."

Seventy people from Carson City, Reno and the Lake Tahoe area attended the meetine which was emceed bv Hudson Lee of Lee Lumber Co. in Renol D"alers brought local building department officials and inspectors as their guests. Savings and loan and bankine officials also attended.

HOME OWNERSAPPRECIATE THE ADVANTAGES OF WOVEN WOOD PANEL FENGE

Good neighbor relations: WOVEN WOOD panels look equally elegant on both sides. The rich textured fence makes a handsome backdrop for shrubs and flowers.

So easy to erect: The panels come in 8 foot lengths and a variety of heights: 3-4-5-6 feet. They can be easily cut to fit the dimensions of a yard. Posts and top rails are available from Tynan & Rogers but can be easily prepared by your own yard.

They are built for long life: The vertical weave eliminates climbing by children and pets. Panels are full sized slats and runners woven to insure maximum str-ngth.

You will be appreciated by local home owners when you stock and recommend WOVEN WOOD panel Fences.

Duql Hordwood Meetings

Two regional meetings, one in San Francisco and one in Los Angeles, have been held by the National Hardwood Lumber Association to honor the group's first West Coast president and to discuss varied industry items.

Don White of White Brothers in Oakland is the NHLA president. He presided over the meeting in San Francisco and led a general discussion that stressed particular W'est Coast problems.

Both meetings were widely attended by members in their respective areas. They heard association secretary-manager M. B. Pendleton give a rundown of the group's activities and outline plans for this fall's convention in Chicago. Chief inspectot_yj_q.

Conservqtionist Prqises Plqn

Ralph W. Chaney, president of The Save-the-Redwoods League, has piaised the Redwood Region's own Park and Recreation Plan published by a committee of the region's community and industry leaders.

Chaney said the plan incorporates features not included in other plans, yet is compatible with the economic needs of communities in the area.

The Save-The-Redwoods chief urged a conference to further consider this plan which outlines 19 privately owned superlative groves which timberland owners will make available for park acquisition plus the opening of thousands of acres of producing timberland for public recreation.

Federql Redwood Pqrk Defeqted

The Redwood Region's Park and Recreation committee has ap' plauded the California state senate for oodefeating in a convincing manner" SJR 29 which would have urged federal establishment of a national redwood Park.

Committee co-chairmen Don 'C.ave and Darrell Schroeder said they believed the vote indicated that Californians feel they can handle theit own park and recreation problems without interfer' ence from the federal government.

"We hope," Cave said, o'that President Johnson and Secretary of the Inteiior Stewart Udall take note of the Senate's posiiion."

Mill Decline Exploined

"There has been a dramdtic reorganization of the lumber industry in t}e Central Sierra during the postwar y@F," forest economist Dennis E. Teeguarden has told the Technical Advisory Council of the University of California Forest Products Laboratory.

"InI946 there were 136 producers of lumber who cut a total of 327 million board feet, half of it handled by the nine largest mills. By 1961 there were 19 mills, producing 289 million feet, with 90 per €ent of it cut by 13 medium and large mills."

Reasons for the decline in number of mills are several, he said. Lower lumber prices and higher timber prices have been major factors. Some mills have moved to locations in the Sacramento Valley in order to draw timber from several timber sheds, to expand plant scale, and to integrate into wood chip production.

"It appears these factors favoring valley locations will continue," he saido "and will have an impact on the economies of the mountain communities."

The University forest economist said the impact of cyclical resessions in lumber demand is greatest on tfre small producerso who process most lumber produced by small growers. This is due to their small scale and product line. The small mills do not have access to the more stable nation-wide wholesale lumber market, as the larger, fully integrated plants do.

Teeguarden said a reorganization and consolidation of timber supplies from small holdings to reduce costs and uncertainties of procurement would help towards a stable industry. He suggested marketing cooperatives or long-term management contracts might be a means toward this end but added that major problems are involved. Rapid changes in land values and uses in the region make owners reluctant to go into long-term contracts.

Teeguarden's study, ooThe Lumber Industry in the Central Sierra Nevada Region," has just been published by the University. It may be obtained from the Farm and Home Advisor Offices in most counties; public service offices on the UC campuses at Davis, Berkeley, and Riverside; or Agricultural Publications, 207 University Hall, University of California, Berkeley.

Pickering Lumber Moy be Sold

The sale of Pickering Lumber Corp. to Fibreboard Paper Products Corp. and Yuba River Lumber Co. for cash in excess of $15 million is being recommended to Pickering shareholders.

Acquisition oI the assets has been approved by directors of the three companies and will be submitted to the Pickering stockholders at a special meeting to be called shortly.

Pickering, with headquarters in Kansas City, owns about 65,000 acres of timberland in Tuolumne County, Calif., and a sawmill and plywood plant in Standard, Calif.

The decision to sell the company was prompted by management to either make major capital investment in the California plants or liquidate. A spokesman for the company said approximately $6 million would be needed for improvements.

"We felt that putting a big mortgage on the property in order to place the company in a position that might make it more competitive with larger concerns wasn't in the best interests oI the shareholderr" the spokesman said.

Pickering has had discussions during the last three years with several prospective buyers who were primarily interested in the valuable timber holdings.

Fibreboard and Yuba River declined to say how much of Pickering each would own.

HugeBlaze Hits tuffffi

: Beaver l-umber Co.

. Fire, fanned by Memorial weekend .winds up to 35 m.p.h., has completely leveled a large two story office building and a good portion of the mill of Beaver r Lumber Company at 750 Thorton Street in San Leandro.

' An estimated crowd of 10,000 onlookers jammed the area to get a glimpse of the huge blaze which sent flames shooting between I00 and 150 feet into the air while every piece of fire equipment in San Leandro fought to keep the fire from spreading to the adjacent California Packing Corpora. tion. :, Intense heat from the blaze destroved :, telephone, telegraph and power lines on both ; sides of Thorton Street and Southern Pacific was forced to re-route several of its trains on alternate tracks during the height of the May 30 inferno.

The fire reduced the two story office building to rubble along with all files and ofrce equipment. The mill, which adjoined the office, was also virtually destroyed along with a 100 foot sawdust hopper which spewed tons of sawdust into the inferno and narrowly missed several firefighters as

they fought to contain the blaze.

Inventory loss, however, was light with most of Beaver Lumber's five million board feet inventory escaping damage aloqg with several dry sheds further back in the yard.

President Fran Winkel advised that the principals of Beaver Lumber have not yet decided to rebuild or to relocate the big retail lumber and millwork ,concern.

by BOB McBRIEN executive vice presideni of the Lumber Merchonls Associotion of Norlhern Colifornio

1T HAS OFTEN been said an association lives on meetings and I I am beginning to believe it. Traveling around northern Cali' ^ fornia and Nevada in the past few weeks I have had an excellent opportunity to attend numerous gatherings of lumber dealers and discuss their problems. In each instance, one dealer or another has commented on the tremendous change taking place in the retail field and how hard it is to keep pace with new developments and ideas.

Really, this is an excellent situation. It not only shows that the dealers have recognized that changes are inevitable, but also that they are willing to take part in them. This hasn't always been the case in the lumber dealer industry, as men who were once lumber dealers can tell vou.

IHE T()P Management Conference scheduled for September at Lake Tahoe by the association is discussed this month.

LMA is pleased to report that its dealers are quickly adapting to changes required by their customers, No longer can most be accused of hiding their heads in the sand while discount houses, chain stores, and others walk away with the dealer's business. The strength of dealers is growing and the best is yet to come.

Top management of LMA firms will gather at Lake Tahoe on September 7 and 8 for a special conference designed to provide them with the latest information and techniques in cost reduction, financing, advertising and merchandising, theft prevention, pension, profit and insurance programs.

This 2-day Top Management Conference at the Tahoe Alumni Center will also give dealers an opportunity to join in extensive "bull sessions" which so often resolve problems which have been gnawing away at a firm for months on end. What's troubling one dealer today probably troubled another dealer a month ago and he has the answer he is willine to share with his fellow-dealer.

Speakers at the Conference will include: Arthur Masters, gen. eral manager, King Lumber Co., Bakersfield, "How to Mainnin a Constant Cost-Red,uctinn Program W'ithin Your Own |'ard"; McCready S. Young, Peat, lVlarwick, Mitchell & Co., San Francisco, "Financia,l Managernent Workshnp",' Steve Copeland, Mercantile Systems and Surveys, Mountain Yiew, "Prio-ate Inaestigating"; and Joseph F. Schram and Associates, Los Altos, "Aduertising and, Merchandising-Whn Need,s It?"

Plan now to attend. If you aren't a memtrer of the Lumber Merchants Association, now would be a good time to join and participate in this program. You wili gain much from it.

The familiar LMA logo which appears at the top of this column will soon be popping out of advertisements on many pages of Calilornin Lumber Merchant. Mats designating membership in LMA are being sent to supplier members for use in their trade advertising to advise our dealers they support LMA activities. We appreciate this support and are pleased to work with these firms in improving our industry.

Salute to a Longtime Lumberman

TY/E'RE ALL FAMILIAR with the old W phrase "Life begins at -tr0". so if this is to be taken literally, the subject of this story is having twice as good a time as most of us-and then some!

Born Maurice L. Euphrat on August 8, 1876, when Ulysses S. Grant of Civil War fame was still president, at the family home located near Geary and Octavia Streets in San Francisco, "Duke" will celebrate his 89th birthday next month. And come November 17, will serve his 51st year as head

LUi,IBER

of Wendling-Nathan Company in San l'rancisco.

If this isn't remarkable enoush in itsel{. consider that our tireless suhjeci still work" an eight hour day five days a week. Well. all except a few afternoons now and then when the bangtails are running at tracks closeby. And believe us, Duke's business accruement is not often wasted on those afternoons either, judging from his frequent trips to the cashier cage.

A graduate of the University of Califor-

nia in Berkeley, class of 1898, Duke originally appeared headed for a career in law. Shortly after graduating from Cal, he enrolled in Hastings College of Law, but a year later his dad passed away and Duke decided he best get to work. As it turned out, the law profession's loss was a mighty rich gain for the lumber industry.

In 1900, Duke got a job with the old Vendling Lumber Company, then located at 6th and Channel in San Francisco where the old windiammers and schooners docked with "Oregon Pine" (Douglas fir to us youngsters) from the mouth of the Sui-"lauRiver on the Oregon coast.

It was here, by the way, that Duke first met a youngster by the name of Roy Hills who was later to become his partner for so many good years.

During 1904, The Pacific Lumber Company. located just across the street, bought out Wendling Lumber Company and Duke found himself in the redwood business and assistant yard manager of the same vard for Pacific.

In 1906, Cross Lumber Company opened a large cargo yard in the City and Duke spent a vear in charge of city sales for that firm, returning to Wendling Lumber in 1907, where Roy Hills was now active as a lumber salesman. This company was later succeeded by Wendling-Nathan Company which spread into many territories besides California until the owners liquidated and retired in 1914.

And that's when Duke and the late Mr. Hill really got into gear. They promptly arranged to keep the time-honored name and incorporated Wendling-Nathan Company at Il0 Market Street.

One oI the many things that Duke did after setting up shop was to build the first (Conti,nued on Page 49)

New Stonge lumber Ofiice

Stange Lumber Company, a two-year old Lake Oswego, Oregon firm has opened new offices in Redding, California to handle the mill sales from Van Vleet Wood Products and Williams & Phelps lumber company's mills. Stange Lumber is the exclusive sales representative for the two firms.

Company president A. H. "Brick" Stange, Jr. said that the Reddins office will be manned by Stu McAllisler and Earl Nordvedt. From both offices, Stanqe sells a complete line oI factory and constiuction woods. Van Vleet is located at Hoopa, Calif. and Williams & Phelps at Hornbrook, Calif.

The Stange family has a long record in the lumber business in both the West and Middle West. Brick Stange's great-grandfather founded one of the first sawmills in Wisconsin and the family also founded the Mt. Emily Lumber Company in LeGrande, Oregon in the mid 1920s.

Born and raised in Merrill. Wis., Stange 1-ajored in Forestry at the University of Minnesota and later worked for Mt. Emilv. In 1953 he started to work with Tarter, Webster & Johnson and worked for TW&J until going into business for himself in 1960. Shortly thereafter he bousht into Industrial Lumber Co. and was with them until forming Stange Lumber Co.

DUKE EUPHRAT

(Continued lrom Page 44) steam schooner to sail up the Suislaw River. The name of the schooner, "Washcalore", was an ambitious combination o{ Washinston, California and Oreson.

During 1924. Duke married Grace Maria Crow, daughter of the late and legendary lumber journalist Carl Crow. Of their two sons, Paul Euphrat survives and has long been actile in the business with his dad, along rvith R. E. 'oBud" Hills, son of Duke's early day partner.

Duke still makes his home at 55 Sea View Terrace in San Francisco, a home he built in 1926, and, his three little grandsons (ages 5. 6 and 7) are frequeni visitors. much to the obvious delight of their grandpa.

Jack Dionne, publisher emeritus oI Calilornia Lurnber Merchant and a lifelone fri,end of the "Duke." put his considerable eloquence to good use in tribute to his old friend as follows:

"He loves his profession. He loves his fellow men; lumbermen and others. He plays fair. He keeps his word. He never forsakes a friend. He never violates a confidence. He is honorable, he is useful and he is lovable. And he is a most senerous man. His name is deeply and impe-rishably engraved upon the hearts of those men who know and have known him. Lonq mav hel wave."

John Fohs Joins Col Ponel

Following in the footsteps of his father Bill Fahs, John Fahs has become a member of the sales staff of California Panel & Veneer, covering the San Fernando Valley.

John attended Stanford University and this spring visited plywood mills learning production and later attended a six week training course in Cincinnati, Ohio by the Formica Corporation.

John is no fledgling in the lumber, plywood and allied products business. He spent most of his free time at school working in the Cal Panel plant in Los Angeles. He got that part of his education the hard way and is well prepared for business.

TWJ's Stockton Ofiice

Only thirty-five working daYs from ground-breaking to moving-in were all that were required to construct Tarter, Webster & Johnson's new mouldings-plywood-millwork sales headquarters at Stockton, which is now in operation.

Calaveras Development Company, like TW&J an affiliate of American Forest Products Corporation of San Francisco' constructed the 2500 square foot building adjacent to AFPC's Stockton Box Company manufacturing plant.

As far as possible, lumber products used are company products. Particularly featured are Bond-Board decking, a panelized two by six inch white fir product manufactured in Fresno, and exposed white fir laminated beams.

Sound ond the Fury

A furious fire at the Sound Lumber Co. in Arcata on May 24 AiA more than $500,000 damage to lumber, buildings and equipment.

The blaze was discovered at mid-afternoon in a massive stack of unprocessed logs near the mill.

Fanned by strong winds, the flames ignited the roofs of several nearby buildings, including the main building which was destroyed. The main building had been reopened only three days earlier after being closed for installation of new equipment.

Retoilers Get Strong Worning

A leading builder spokeirman says lumber retailers must become more new product oriented to continue doing business with the building community.

Bernard L. Boutin, executive vice president of the National Association of Home Builders, complained that too often "dealers are reluctant to stock a new product until the market for that product has been proven." This is why many manufacturers have switched to selling directly to builders, rather than through retailers, Boutin explained.

o'Too many of the dealers are still iust lumber dealers and are not cognizant of the progress which has been and is still being made in the building industry which requires a constant awareness of new prod' ucts, materials and methods for home building," he emphasized.

Vermiculite Convenlion

Discussion of sales promotion and re' search topped the program of the 24th annual convention of the Vermiculite Institute of Chicago at Point Clear, Alabama. D. J. Boone, president of the institute and man' ager of the marketing department of Zono' lite Division, W. R. Grace Co., presided.

Boone reported substantial gains during the past year in industry-wide sales of ver' miculite insulation, concrete aggregate, and agricultural products. The irtstitute's exten' sive fire testing program at Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., produced'an increase in sales of vermiculite fireproofing also, Boone stated.

Susqnville Disqsler

A multi-million dollar fire raged through the Eagle Lake Lumber Company at Susanville early Sunday morninS June'I3, consuming five big interconnected buildings and most of the company's seven million board feet of inventory. Except for a small log deck and the recently constructed sawmill, the former Fruit Growers plant was leveled by the spectacular blaze which raged out of control for more than seven hours. The blazg from unknown causes, began about I a.m. and by the time it was brought under control flames had leveled practically the entire plant including all the big sheds, the planing mill, dry kilns, truck shop, most of the main log deck and a huge amount of valuable cut stock and finish lumber.

One of the main industries in the town of 7000. local officials rated the fire as one of the biggest disasters in Susanville's history.

Flood Victims Finolly Get Aid

Six months after the disasters occurred, President Lyndon B. Johnson has signed into law a bill authorizing $70 million in federal aid to Pacific Northwest flood victims, including purchasers of federal timber. An earlier relief bill had been vetoed by Mr. Johnson o*r the grounds that it contained provisions, not connected with flood aid, infringing on the prerogatives of the executive branch. This section was deleted from the second ibill and rushed through the House and Senate.

The measure authorizes reimbursement of federal timber purchasers for 85 percent of road reconstruction and future construction cost incr'eases due to the floods. Sen. Morse (D.Ore.) and Reps. Johnson (D-Calif.) and Clausen (R-Calif.) were mainly responsible for speeding congressional action on the legislation.

lumbermen's Profits Goining

Dr. George Cline Smith, a lumber economist and economic advisor to the National Forest Products Association reports that after-tax profits of the lumber and wood products industry amounted to 3.9 percent of sales in 1964. He stated that this was a sharp improvement from the postwar low of 1.7 percent in 1960' but still less than the 5.2 percent profit rate for all manufacturing industries last year. He indicated the profit prospects should con' tinue to improve in 1965.

Dr. Smith stated that to stay competitive the industry needs technological progress aimed at improving productivity in manu' facturing and improving the product as to function and efficiency, as well as aggressive promotion of the products it manufactures.

Plywood Production Rising

Structural plywood is increasing its share of the building products field so well, despite a rather colorless housing forecast, that the American Plywood Association is revising its 1965 production forecast upward to I2.l billion square feet.

Fast, regular ocean shipments by barge from Southern Oregon and the Columbia River direct to Southern California.

Now, over 5,000,000 fedt of dimension lumber and studs monthly manufactured especially for Southern California construction needs.

Good farm buildings pay off in greater profits,

With this theme, a new 18page booklet prepared by a team of agricultural engineers presents guidelines for erecting structures that will boost production in dairy and beef cattle, hogs and poultry. and improve storage for grain, feed and machinery.

The booklet concludes with a statement on western wood in farm buildings. One inch of wood has the same insulation capabilities as 14 inches of concrete, thus minimizing condensation. Wood is stable at temperature extremes, so its fastenings don't tear out. It is easier to repair and alter, and requires less long-range maintenance. The booklet is available for 25 cents,

Dear Sirs:

I am one of the first subscribers to the old Pioneer Lumber Merchant when Guy Buell first started it at Lt2 Market St. - when I was the owner of my own Hendrickson Lumber Co. in San Franciscoand while I have been out of the Lumber business since 1931I am still and have been a subscriber to your present California Lumber Merchant for over 43 years - and still religiously read Jack's Vagabond Editorials.

I left the Bay region (being born and raised in Oakland) and I came to New York 21 years ago, and am still living here.

I go out to Oakland every year for some B months or more, usually staying at the Lake Merritt Hotel. I try and see Frank Paramino and Duke Euphrat when I cross the Bay to see also some of my oldest friends. who were then mere 'kids" when I was peddling shingles, etc.

Also my best to Dee Essley and Gus Hoover and of course. Jack.

I might mention also that Lew Godard, partner of Al Bell, is my wife's cousin and got his start in the lumber business with me, before he learned that "bastard" grain was NOT a cuss word.

Sincerely, Red Hendrickson New York, N.Y.

Dear Ole,

I would like to suggest that someone write a column pertaining to old timerslumbermen of yesteryearwhere they are located, what are they doing to occupy their time, etc. I often wonder what became of many of my old friends. For instance, Les LynchEverett Parker - Park ArnoldOrie HamiltonBiIl CalhounAndy Dono-

van and many others. I got the thought after reading the articles in the May and June issues, about the Old-timers Night held by the San Diego Hoo-Hoo Club. AIso the letter from Capt. Ed Culnan. Naturally, I read the Obituary Column, as many of the "elders" are in their 70s.

Best of luck to you and the fine periodieal that you "boys" produce.

Sincerely, Harry W'hittemore Guadalajara, JaI., Mexico
