You could have, if you had participated in the Lumber Association of Southern California's Workmen's Compensation Group Plan. Last year, 60% of the dealers who took part in the group plan receiaeil a 15% or larger diaidend. That's pretty conclusive proof that "In unity, there is strength."

The law requires that you carry Workmen's Compensation insurance. Why not cut your own costs on this insurance by joining hands with your fellow lumbermen.

EDITORIAL the Consumer be Forgotten

\T/HILE THE SLUMP in building activity is YV admittedly a disastrous proposition for many in the industry, we think we can see one good thing that has come out of all the upset and red ink on the financial ledgers.

It is the increasing awarenes.s that the ultimate source of profit for the retailer is the consumer, Not exactly an earthshaking concept, but it does bear repeating, especially as the consumer has tended to he pushed into the wallflower role by many r,etailers who turned to answer the siren call of selling the big tract builders. Selling the big builder is just f,ne, but only so long as the dealer doesn't los€ sight of the fact that he can't turn his back on the consumer. Because the minute he does, he alienates the one sour@ of sales that can pull him through thick and thin. And it's no nervs that this is one of the thin periods.

This is the time, however, to take a look at your business and see if this is the only area of weakness, or whether this is just one aspect where a factual reappraisal would point to serious deficiencies in your over-all marketing plan.

How about belonging to a trade association? If you don't that would be the first thing we would recommend you do. The advantages of an association are many, varied, applicable to all and un. deniable. To pass up the opportunity to have access to sound marketing skills and talents when your own business is less than perfect is to indulge yourself in woolgathering of the most expensive kind.

To delay joining is also procrastination of the most expensive variety. A delay that you will regret.

Your organization is your strength and unless it is staffed with men and women who are well-trained, well-paid and oriented towards aggressive and positive selling procedures, then the battle for the bucks is going to be extra tough, if not futile. You and your people are going to have to make the effort to get out and get into the area you sell and the area where your customers live. Find out how many families there are, how much disposable income they have, what they like and don't like and, most of all, what it takes to get them out of the car and up to the cash register

Remember that one of the best things you have to sell is not a single product, but the end use of many products. Show the customer how he can be the man relaxing in the hammock he can install. Don't show him a picture of how hard and confusing it may be for him to build the frame and the bracings to hold up the hammock. Make. it easy for the customer. If you do, you?ll have your steady source of business.

The concept of a drive for a week or two with special emphasis on selling is fine,ibut only if everyone realizes that it is an extra effort, and not just the only time they have to do it. Selling can't be a sometime thing, it must be constant and always in the front of everyone's mind when they are doing their jobs, even if their jobs are not directly in sales.

Take a look around and see if there isn't more that you can do to take better care of the consumer. He is the best friend your business has because he is the one man ultimately in charge oI your cash register. It's time a lot of people remembered it.

FIRM GROWS I O TIMES IN 20 YEARS

Consumer Sales are K"y to this Retailer's Success

RUCE BAUER Lumber Company in San Carlos, Calif. is observing its 20th anniversary with sales two and one-half times what they were just five years ago. The well-known San Francisco Peninsula firm attributes its success to ever-expanding consumer sales.

"W'e do 85-90 percent of our business with the homeowner do-it-yourselfer," explains owner-manager Don Thom, otand cater to their needs, small or large. At least half our customers are women and this, to a large extent, determines our merchandising program."

Founded in a "little brick building by the railroad tracks" in 1946, Bruce Bauer Lumber Company is now more than ten times its original physical size despite a limiting site location. The store and yard are only 40 feet deep bounded by busy El Camino Real highway and the Southern Pacific tracks, yet the buildings stretch for over 1000 feet or two good-sized city blocks.

"It gives us a lot of foot mileage during the day in handling our customer's needs," explains Ron Armbrust, hardware and tool manager, oobut we think the layout is actually conducive to sales."

0ver 40,000 items are displayed and sold and special emphasis is placed on top brand names. o'We have found that consumers are partially pre-sold on the items they wish to purchase from us and when we can supply a top-quality brand name item the sale goes much faster and everyone is pleased," comments Armbrust.

An dxample of this merchandising concept is Bruce Bauer's power tool department. Until a year ago, the firm handled several brands, none of them widely known and looked upon the line as a "convenience" for customers.

o'We didn't make much money on it," 'comments Armbrust, 'obut since switching entirely to Stanley's new Job-Master power tools we have increased sales 20-25 percent. Customers recognize the quality name and are more willing to buy."

In making the power tool switch, Armbrust phased out the unknown brands and added a single Stanley display at a time. First it was power drills, then sanders, then saws and routers. Now the firm has the complete Job-Master line prominently displayed across from the main entrance irs well as an in-store demonstration and sales center located in the busy display room which includes paneling, ceiling and floor tile, unfinished furniture, doors and other popular items.

ooWe have always sold their hand tools," reports Arm'brust who has been with the firm for nearly seven years, ttand more than B0 percent of our total hand and power tool sales are Stanley. "Power drills are our best sellers, but there has been a lot of interest in the new low-price Stanley

Rout-About /4-HP router. It's an excellent item for the homeowner."

Bruce Bauer Lumber Co.'s in-store power tool demonstration center is 40 inches wide, 72 inches long and 58 inches high with plexiglas around the top l5 inches-for safe visibility. It includes a work bench, electrical outlet with safety key switch and swinging door.

'owe use the center to demonstrate the various tools for customers and it helps stimulate sales beyond any doubt," claims Armbrust. "Our store is a mad house on Saturdays and Sundays and we can alrvays gather a large crowd for a demonstration. Sales follow."

Business at Bruce Bauer Lumber ls steady. The flow of home owner customers is sprinkled with contractors and home improvement specialists, but do-it-yourselfers take the top spot. Persons moving into the area are given a card by Velcome W'agon personnel entitling them to a free bulletin board "just for stopping in the store."

"W'e use newspaper advertising to expand our business and have a three-sided outdoor sign along El Camino and the SP tracks with excellent traveler visibility," says Armbrust. "We have parking for more than 50 cars and we seem to be the hub of home improvement activity in our area.t'

They also have two trucks for consumer and iontractor deliveries and employ five people besides Thom and Armbrust. They are Assistant Manager Bob King, Paul Bauer, Cathy Sevison, John Grifiin, and Hiraru Chase.

IGY PERS0llllEL at Bruce Bauer Lumber include (l) (l+) Bob King Hiram Chase, Don Thom and Ron Armbrust. Replenishing the garden tool display (0 is

frequent job for Ron Armbrust. Bauer has in excess of 40,000 items. Explaining easy operation (3) of Stanley Rout-About is Paul Bauer. Job Master port-

able (4) gets a demo run by Ron Armbrust. Quickly dismantled, the display can be used for both indoor and outdoor daily power tool demonstrations.

Merchandising tips from a man who specializes in power tools and last year grossed $300,000

\I-/HEN Y0L-R LAST name is King. you YV just have to come up with a befitting achievement and then maintain your right{ul place on the throne. John P. King of Pasadena, Calif., has done just that -he is truly a power tool king when it comes to selling nationally-known and respected brand name merchandise.

Unlike most retail outlets selling power tools to homeowners and contractors, John P. King Power Tools does not deal in hardware, hand tools, lawn mowers or any other items for that matter. His total bread and butter is power tools.

"We have lorr.rd over the past 15 years of doing business in power tools that you dilute your effort to take on other lines," explains the S5-year-old King. "And on the other hand, we find that most hardware stores, retail lumber yards and other outlets selling power tools aren't achieving their true potential because they don't place the rightful emphasis on the line and

find men who can sell the tools' value to buyers."

John P. Kine was a most successful merchandising executive with Eastern Colum. bia Department Stores when he decided to start his power tool outlet in 1951. He had been graduated from Dartmouth, worked his way up in the W. T. Grant chain, and served for Il years as Western merchandise manager with Firestone.

The King establishment is a 200-foot long series of BO-year-old frame houses in a high traffic location which have been converted to display and warehouse space. "It's nothing fancy, but tool buyers are not out shopping {or modern furnishings so it hasn't hurt our sales a bit," comments King. "In fact, we believe the setting has helped us to sell more power tools."

John King Power Tools has enjoyed a substantial sales increase each year since l95I and currently has an annual sales volume of approximately $330,000. The

firm has seven employees--all oI whom can demonstrate the latest in power tool equipment.

o'Demonstrations are a big part of selling power tools and yet many establishments have no one on hand to show customers how a tool operates," says King. "W'ith us, it's a demonstration for each and every prospect who walks through the door, and we also let him try it for himself."

King believes that once you show a sales prospect the tool you should let him run it which helps to guickly close the sale. This has been especially true in the sales of Black & Decker's DeWalt Power Shops. Do-it-yourselfers quickly find that they can

The genial husband-wife team that directs the destiny oI K/D Cedar Supply Co. is a marriage and partnership in the true sense. This rather rare combination in this age has produced, in a relatively short time, a wholesale distribution business that has exceeded their wildest dreams.

Currently in their seventh year of doing business at 22008 Meekland Avenue in Hayward, Merv and l)oris recently beefed up their undercover storage area with a 15.000 sq. ft. warehouse by Pole Buildings, Inc. of Modesto. Inventory rrow stored in that buildinq made room for the installation of a new Olympic Stainer.

Although the King and Queen title has been challenged a couple of times, the Kjers have fought back the only way they know. Offer quality material, a wider. range of services and make sure each order receives their individual attention.

WIDE DEIIVERY AREA

Today, K/D Cedar operates six trucks making deliveries from Paso Robles to Ukiah and east to the Reno-Tahoe ilrca. K/D Cedar's source of quality materials is McDonald Cedar Products, Lamford Cedar. Ltd.. B. C. Crossarm Co. and Crown-Zellerbach. Sales from these mills to K/D Cedar are throush Tumac Lumber Co., Inc., of Portlandl which operates the only lumber truck fleet licensed to op-

erate ,between Canada and California. Interestingly enough, these "cedar trucks" often make the return haul to the Pacific Northwest fully loaded with redwood.

The Olympic Stainer recently installed by the Kjers will pre-stain any cedar pattern in 60 different tones-special colors available on request. Orders can generally be processed for delivery within one or two days.

In addition to a large inventory of cedar shakes and shingles, K/D Cedar is also a distributor of Shakertown "E-2" Ply Siding and cedar plywood from Shifton Plywood Corporation.

So if it's cedar that's on yottr tnind, call the "Cedar King or Queen." You'll be treated rovallv!

ERE IS a very special house-for very

.p""i"t people. It's a tri'level desiga which can boast of -any times the features usual' ly found in most new Plans.

Due to the unusual layout of the floor plan, many family activities can go on at ih.."-" time without interfering with each other. The informal family room which is on the same floor level as the garage is completely separated from the more formal living and dining rooms on the second level. The bedroom wing is on the third level over the garage and family room.

Double doors open from the roofed front porch to the entry and its high, dramatic ceiling. The entry closet has a 'built'in planter above but the entry is still open to the living room.

The family room is four steps below the kitchen. Laundry facilities plus storage space are located in a wide and deep closet, siparated from the room by a spries of folding doors. A half-bath opens to the family room as well as a closet which faces the doon bading to the family room from the entry and garage. The water heater and furnace are in an ofiset space which is open to the 22' x 2l'-outside dimensions -garage.

The three bedrooms offer an abundance of wardrobe storage. A linen closet opens to the hall. The elegant master bedroom suite can boast of both a private dressing room and bath. Besides the large amount of wardrobe space in the dressing room, there is also a pullman lavatory and dressing table.

Four steps up from the entry is the living room and second level of the home. All of the rooms in this home are unusually large and this is especially true of the liv' ing room. The room appears even largeras does the dining-since only a fireplace separates the two. If preferred, a wall could be constructed between these two areas.

An extra large number of guests can be served in the spacious dining room. The room is well lighted by corner windows.

Moior Exponsion for IHPA

"A new nationwide association to be known as the Imported Hardwood Products Association, Inr'., is the result of the merger of the Imported Hardwood Plywood Association. the Timber Importers Association oI America and other prominent firms engaged in the importing of ALL types of hardwood products."

IHPA president" G. Arnold Smith. in makine this announcement, commented that thc formcr 'Plylvood' a-*sociation, wellestablished since 1956, was concerned onlr- rvith imports of plywood and veneer.

Imported hardwood plywoods. exotic hardwood veneers, hardwood plywood doors and hardwood lumber have long been a favorite with the American public. Users of imported hardwood products cor,er just about everything lrom salad bowls to fine furniture and wa]l paneling. Last year alone thc Unitcd States imported approrimately $200 million dollars worth of exotic hardwood products.

'VE ALWAYS LIKED the words of an old man I used to know who seemed to make it his eternal business everywhere he went to do something for someone, keep others cheered up, and make other people huppy.

There's no doubt about it, folks-happiness is sticky stuff, and you just can't help distribute it to others without having a lot of it stick to your own fingers.

Lumber Strike Averted

Last minute settlements last month averted a strike of lumber and sawmill workers that threatened for a time to send 27,W workers out on strike. The package agreed upon will cost industry some $60 million.

The "Big Five," W'eyerhaeuser Corp., U.S. Plywood Corp., Crown Zellerbach, International Paper Co. and Rayonier, Inc., accepted the 551 per hour increase over the next three years with the International Woodworkers of America and the Lumber and Sawmill workers. Georgia-Pacific settled a few days for a similar contract.

Tree Form Chonges

The Redwood Region Conservation Council is now running the Redwood Region Tree Farm Program, according to Bernard Z. Agrons, group president.

The move transfers tree farm administration from the California Redwood Association to the Redwood Region Conservation Council, though CRA retains regional sponsorship of the program. Agrons also announced appointment of Eugene Hofsted, Arcata Redwood Company forester, as chairman of the Tree Farm Committee. The committee is responsible for the development of administrative procedures to implement the Redwood Region Tree Farm program.

"It is particularly fitting that the Tree Farm administration within the region be transferred to RRCC at this time," Agrons said. "It marks not only the beginning of a new project for us but also coincides with the silver anniversarv of the American Tree Farm System,"

Forest Outlook Hopeful

A hopeful outlook for American forests, which blanket a third of the nation, is ofiered by the California authors of a new book, 'oTree Farms-Harvest for the Future," by Bobbs-Merrill.

It coincides with this year's silver anniversary celebration of the Tree Farm program.

The authors, Dorothy and Joseph Dowdell of Sacramento, describe the Tree Farm program as "one of the most successful conservation efiorts in the nation's history."

Its history spans the historic turning point in American forestry: instead of declining timber reserves, as when the program began in 1941, the U.S. now produces 6I percent more wood annually than is harvested or lost to fire and other natural causes.

Forest lob Report

New ways of building houses, reducing papermill pollution, growing superior wood in trees, and making a longer-lasting natural finish for wood outdoors are among findings descri,bed in the 1965 Annual Report of Research issued by the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory.

The lab is maintained by the federal government and the University of Wisconsin.

Terming the year "one of outstanding research accomplishment," Dr. Edward G. Locke, director, observed that other "noteworthy achievements" lvere:

(1.) A new board product consisting of pulping-size wood chips resin-bonded together in thicknesses suitable for ceiling tile and roof decking; (2.) Definite evidence that fire spreads inside buildings by "flashover" of hot combustible gases to fresh oxygen rather than by spread of flame across burning surfaces; (3.) A new natural finish system for wood that gives promise of exceptional durability on exteriors of houses and other structures, and (4.) A procedure for manufacturing from low-grade reject logs, high-quality wall paneling and flooring uniquely col. ored by a new drying process.

Wood Marketing, Inc., has approved four "major" trading areas {or a new marketing and promotion program. The twomonth campaigns will be in Denver, Colorado; Kansas City, Mo., Columbus, Ohio and llaltimore, Maryland during Septernber and October.

The campaign directed toward home builders and wood product distribr'-tors as well as the public is timed to coincide with the annual Fall home building and selling period. The campaign theme is "Put More Life In Your Livine-With WOOD."

The campaign is said to be highly flexlble to meet the needs of each area and will permit W\'II to cooperate with local wood promotion groups, builders and distributors.

Quaf ity Wood Cabinets Add Test to Kitchens

IIIOST NEW HOME buyers probably are rvl agreed upon-at least-one thing: Kitchens are an important part of their lives and should be attractive to the eye, 'practical and economic, and feature quality conveniences.

A leading southern California land-developer-builder, Calland Brothers, insists that home buyers in his Hemet, California, retirement community (Panorama Village), actually were looking for more attractivg quality wooden kitchen cabinets with conveniences such as those made by Long-Bell.

"ln 1962 we launched a long-range project featuring quality home construction and decided to search for cabinets that would better compliment the houses and be a strong selling point,'o Calland disclosed.

ooAbout that time we were contacted by a Long-Bell cabinet distributor in Los Angeles, Gildon Kitchen distributors. We were impressed with the eabinets, got in touch with Gildon, and our kitchen improvement plans got off the ground."

Long.Bell's cabinet saleeman, Al Clearman and Gildon owner Don Reel packed sample cabinets and motored the 95 miles east from Loe Angeles to the new 500-home development in Hemet.There they displayed the cabinets to the Callands and to poten-

tial home buyers. The reaction was instantly favorable!

There was a switch-ovdr to Long-Bell cabinets that signaled a sharp upturn in sales, Calland reports.

The model homes' kitchens spoke for themselves and prospects immediately bought what they liked.

Calland points out that a sigrrificant factor in their decision to go Long-Bell was the product's "professional, furniture type finish."

The construction superintendent said modular Long-Bell cabinets presented no

installation problems and that all cabinets were easy to work with on the job.

The Long-Bell "action kitchens" feature wife-saving conveniences, among which are

by BOB McBRIEN execulive vice president of the Lumber Merchonts Associotion of Northern Colifornio

\f/E WERE ALL SHOCKED recently to hear about the tragic YY fire which leveled Marion Nine Lumber Co. in Fresno, Calif. Residents of the area were even more shocked to learn through their newspaper a few days after the fire that a couple of youngsters, aged 5 and, 7, were blamed. It seems they were playing in the yard with matches.

Fire and theft are two words which make every lumber dealer shudder. In fact, they are two words that aren't spoken ofterr enough to keep all of us on our toes to prevent them.

FIRE danger and what the In the case of Marion Nine Lumber Co., dealer.can do.to help.pre- fire department officials said the young- vent fires at his yard are oiscusied bi ilb'.- - - sters pulled a board from a locked shed to gain entry and "were not planning to burn the yard down, but just were mischievous." That they were. In less than 30 minutes, the yard was burned to the ground at a loss exceeding $200,000.

What can we do about it? Many things, but the most important is to first consider the problem in specific relation to your own yard. Take a slow walk around the premises and ask yourself a few questions:

. Is the yard fully fenced in and can it be locked at night?

. Do we lock all windows, doors and gates at closing time?

I Do we have an "a.quulu *r- ,rrr"rr that is tested now and then to see that n

. Do our fences and barriers prevent persons from entering the yard or building uil .l adjoining roof?

r Do we have a watchman on duty or do we use a local security firm to check the premises on a regular basis?

. Do we let trash, saw dust and*waste lumber accumulate?

. Do we prevent the growth of weeds and brush in the yard and around the perimeter of fences, sheds, etc.?

r Do we keep flamable liquids in the proper containers and locked up securely?

Do our employees know what to do in case of fire?

. Do we discuss fire and theft potentials with our employees?

r Do we have a name and telephone number easily visible on the front door or in the front window that police or others can call in case of emergency?

. Do we have water buckets, workable extinguishers, and other fire-fighting equipment in proper locations?

As the teacher,would say, if you don't have the answers you'd better learn them-because we sure want you to pass this test now and every day in the future!

In an earlier NORTHV/EST NEWS column it was mentioned that planning was under way for a two-year community college industry training program for young men and women. The details have now been fairly worked out through the WRLA Committee on Education. in cooperation with the Green River Community College staff.

At this time there are still ten enrollment opportunities for this new two-year courseBuilding Material Management Program-with a degree Associate oi Applied Arts.

The pilot college is Green River Community College in Auburn, Washington. Inquiries should be mailed to the college or to Western Retail Lumbermen's Asso-

ciation, 333 First West, Seattle, Washington 98119.

A good solid curriculum has been established which includes, beyond the basics, twelve to twenty hours per week of onthe-job training in member yards near the college. Also included in the curriculum, about which we are most enthusiastic, is a weekly, evening three-hour class of training that is industry-oriented. With the help of manufacturers, wholesalers and equipment suppliers, the students will be exposed to the use and care of equipment, product knowledge and industry sales training. As an added feature, these evening classes will be open to currently employed personnel, who can come in for this once-a-week evening class.

We have long recognized the need to bring young men and women into our industry on a planned and palatable basis. We think we now have the pilot program under way that may soon be spread to other community colleges. We invite all of those interested to forward inquiries.

'Defl' Announces Line Chonges

" 'It's time {or a change' is our sales battle cry," says Frank Desmond, vice' president, general manager oI Deft, Inc., makers of finishes for wood surfaces, in announcing his firm's decision to redesign their trademark and product labels.

"While the present system of four independent codes is not perfect, it does provide a democratic procedure for acceptance of materials on the basis of performance and a program for regular review and modernization.

"Should the independent model codes be replaced by a single federal code, however, manufacturers o{ wood products and other combustible materials could be severely handicapped-particularly if the code provisions were developed by the same type o{ over-zealous individuals who have been responsible for the restrictive requirements encountered in GSA and other government specifications," he forecast,

Advertising mats, publicity materials, and a varicty of garden idea booklets and data -.heets are offered. CRA's "Silent Salcsmen," miniatures of the booklets for use as envelope and invoice stuffers. are also available.

IIESMllilD

"Since we started in business some twelve years ago," Desmond continued, "we've maintained our well known Deft trademark and wood grain labels. But we are now changing our appearance to make our containers even more appealing at the point-ofsale."

Desmond explained that the decision to redesign the familiar Deft labels was consistent with new marketing and sales promotional plans Deft is currently developing.

Federol Policy Cqlled q Threqt

A top {orest industry executive predicts that federal policies and programs will be among the more serious challenges facing the lumber and wood products industry in the immediate years ahead.

Gerald F. Prange, vice president-operations, o{ the National Forest Products Association, has called for industry cooperation and communications to blunt these threats of government. Prange was a featured speaker at the annual meeting of the Hardwood Plywood Manufacturers Association.

He said the three most immediate threats were in the areas of federal withdrawal of producing forest lands from use, proposals to federalize state unemployment programs and "a move in an ominous direction, an ever increasing effort to impose a single, national building code."

On federal efforts toward a national building code, Prange said:

"It is no secret that the forest and wood products industries use the four independent model codes as a system of checks and balances to secure minimum restrictions on the use of wood. consistent with satisfactory performance; and, also, to counter the efforts of competitive industries which seek unwarranted limitations on the use of wood.

Sunken 5hip Finolly Unlooded

The Greek lumber ship Irini Stefanou, which ran aground off the Mexican coast in January. 1965, discharged her cargo of forest products at Lons Beach. Calif. last monlh after lying at ant:hor at the port for more than a year while maritime offilials determincd hr.r [ate.

The Irini Stcfanou, a liberty ship which originated in Vancouver, Canada, was bound for England and France when it reportedly dri{ted off course and ran aground. The impact ruptured the hull and flooded the No. 1, 2 and 3 holds.

Her cargo consisted of 3.8 million b.f. of lumber, 800,000 sq. ft. of exterior type plywood, 2,083 tons of bleached pulp and 500 sqs. of cedar shingles.

In March. 1966. ship and cargo were sold at auction to Trans-Pacific Shipping, International, a subsidiary of Baker Commodities, Inc. Sale price was $195,000.

Off-loading the cargo presented scveral unusual prohlems. The compressed pulp in the flooded holds had swelled and expanded, cracking the deck and breaking it loose from its vertical stanchions.

"It took thret-. weeks for house-movine ('rews to hreak loose the pll wood with jacks so the cargo in the holds could be unloaded." reported lumber broker J. D. "Dee" Logan, who i-s handling sales of the lumber from his offices in Los Anseles.

Much oI the stock is beins re-manufaclured, since it was sawn in an export eut using metric measurements {or the Euro. pean market. Associated Molding Co. is handling the milling operations.

o'We were delighted at the quality of the itock," said Logan. The bulk of the lum. ber is Canadian hemlock. thoueh there is a considerahle amount of Sitka sDruce. western wh ite spruce and western red cedar.

"There was little damage to the lumber. other than discoloration," Logan added. The grades of the cargo broke down as follows: 40 percent is clears. select merchant and No. I merchant; 40 percent is No. 2 merchant; 10 percent is No. 3 common and l0 percent manu{actttrcd siding.

The stock was transported from Lone Beach harbor by C-Q Trucking to the yard formerly occupied by Cal-Pacific Sales Corp. on Telegraph Road in Los Angeles.

Brond New Covered Bridge

Spanning Thomas Creek in Linn County, Oregon, and just two miles east of Scio on the north end of Richardson Gap, a monum,ent to American traditionalism stands for all to see.

It is the newly constructed, newly dedicated Shimanek covered bridee that occupies the site of a lormer histoiic bridge in rural Oregon. Dedication of this latest Oregon span (the last one was built in l93B) took place May 20.

The S,himanek ,bridge is I30 feet long and looks very much like its predecessors, most of which no lonser exist. The Hamilton Construction Company of Eugene, Oregon, built the quaint reminder of our nation's past after hearing of the need for a new bridge in the Thomas Creek location. Wind storms destroyed the previous one.

The decision to replace the bridge with another covered structure was made by the three-man Linn County Court, which is in charge of all road projects in the county.

The span is of the Howe Truss design and its exterior siding is a conventional 1xl2 board with 1x3 batts including many windows.

Designed by W. A. Pamateer, P.E., of Hamilton Construction Co,, Eugene, Ore., the useful life of the charming span is expected to be in excess of 4O years.

With the opening of the new bridge, it will be possible for loggers to use the old Richardson Gap Road for hauling logs to the mills. The site of the structure lends itself to recreational possibilities and the Linn County Court is hope{ul that someday a picnic/park recreation area will be a focal point for citizens.

The name Shimanek-thought by some to be Indian-came from the family that moved close to the original bridge site in l90l and became active area leaders.

Harvey West, of Placerville Lumber Co., was driving home to Placerville from Los Angeles recently and stopped to pick up a hitchhiker in the San Joaquin Valley.

As soon as the man was in the car, he pulled a gun, and the two rode in silence for several minutes. Then W'est ventured. "Guess you've served some time, huh?"

"Yeah," grunted the gun holder, "did a stretch in Folsom." "Folsom? Know the place well," said the cool-thinking lumberman, "give'em Christmas trees every year."

"You Harvey West?" asked the ex-con. "None other." ooStop the car, I ain't going to bother you."

And the lelon went his unmerry way.

L.A. Code Chonge

A rapid increase in use of pressuretreated fire-protected wood is expected in the City of Los Angeles following changes made in the city's building code to permit use of wood in Type I & II buildings.

Los Angeles' action, in effect, means that fire-protected wood studs, plates and blocking may be used in lieu of metal materials in one-hour rated partitions in multi-story buildings. The Uniform Building Code was revised ]n 1964 to allow such use, but until now the City of Los Angeles had not followed with similar action. The ordinance number is 132368.

Siding on Upswing

New aluminum siding for home construetion and remodeling is continuing to score impressive gains with the nation's homeowners.

"During 1965 there was enough aluminum siding produced to cover 450,000 average single-family homes, and use of aluminum in the averag:e home has risen from 80

pounds per dwelling 10 years ago to over 800 pounds this year," said Harry J. Nassan, chairman of the board of U. S. Aluminum Corp., Frarrklin Park, Ill.

Nassan pointed to the upsurge in the use of new aluminum siding in home remodeling which last year accounted for the exterior covering of about 360,000 houses in the United States.

"The growing use of aluminum siding for homes in every price range can be traced to interest on the part of the homeowner in building products offering low maintenance. Instead of pr.eparing for an expensive and strenuous experience of repainting his home exterior this spring, the head of the homeowning family is seeking an economical alternative," he said.

A wide selection of patterns are available ranging from a smooth finish to textured designs resembling wood grain or stucco. While white is still the color preference of most homeowners residing their houses, there is an increasing trend toward pastels and intermediate shades of greens, grays and blues, Nassan reported.

Rigidized aluminum siding with exceptional structural strength cleated by vertical line embossing of the metal also has been introduced by U. S. Aluminum.

The rigidized surface of this panel provides a contemporaly appearance in a striking veltically grooved patteln. The effect is to give an elongated look to low or squat shaped houses.

My brother and I noticed, without alarm, the letter to You by a Mr. Don Linford which appeared in your MaY issue. ("Win A Real Live Girl," P. 10).

The promotion to which the gentleman refers was (a) tongue in cheek, (b) quite successful, and (c) enjoyed by all excePt, evidently, Mr. Linford.

We have no comment to make other than it is always true that anyone can find something nasty in anything if he will try hard enough.

Thanks for your write uP in the June issue about the Millwork Institute convention in 1926.

Well, Dave, I have decided to retire as I will be 82 on November 21st this year, and I want to quit while I am ahead. 'We have a house at Twain Harte, above Sonora, that we will settle down in right beside the lake, and do a little visiting and fishing.

I tried to retire when I was 80 but the boss wouldn't hear anything about it, as I was still active and healthy, but I am breaking in a 'man to take rny place.

It's 31 years since I first left California for New York for White Pine Sash Company of Spokane, Washington. I was selling my patented wood window and covered all the conventions east of the Rockies. I left New York December 16, 1937 and came to Miami where I have been ever since. Of eourse we have been back every

why not an entire home. built entirely of redwood !

So it was agreed that Rockport would donate one o{ their pre-{abricated Rockport Redwood Homes, a $3,500 modified version of the o'EurekaL" pattern.

The KQED auction was first started in 1955 in an effort to save the station, one of the most important of its kind in the nation, from early extinction. Normally, KQED is a sedate, non-profit community operation beaming daily to school children and adults. It is only at this one time of year that the station lets down its hair and brazenll. solicits the advertising and publicity proponents they shun at anl' other time. But the station benefits. and the community does too, and Rockport Redrvood receivt's invaluable publicity.

Nylon Building Product

Nylon. long a magic word in everything from hosiery and fashions to hardware, is now linked to shutters in a new building product introduced recently in southerrr California by the Du Pont CompanY.

Shutters made of nylon-providing minimum maintenance, long life and easy installation-are made in a single molded unit that is virtually indistinguishable from fine woodwork. They are rotproof and lit' tle affected by weather exposure. Problerns of slat fall-out, paint peeling and other weather damage are in effect eliminated.

The Du Pont shutters are coated witlr

a durable, factory-applied finish that eliminates painting at the time of installation. They retain their original appearance for years without repainting, yet may also be painted readily i{ a color change is desired by the homeowner.

"shutters add the finishing touch to a home," says Richard Pugh, Los Angeles representative for Du Pont's Building Prod' .ucts Division. "But with conventional ones, soon come headaches of repainting--often within just a {ew years. With this new use o{ nylon, however, that problem no longer need exist," De Pugh disclosed.

Les

Yes, we love wood! First, because it's our livelihood, we've grown with the wood products industry for the past 87 years. Second, for the many advantages of wood usage, such as:

o Wooden structural members safer in f ire.

r Rough exterior surfaces permit attractive finish, low upkeep.

o f nsulating value of 2" to 4" of wood on walls and roof.

o Non-denting, quiet walls.

. Cost compares favorably with other materials, and . . . it's beautiful,

Our modern new facilities located in Richmond, B. C., near Vancouver, will serve the wood products industry throughout western Canada with quality drying and handling systems.

PLANT is a high.bay 100' x 300' structure completely served with underhung cranes.

WOOD used throughout plant and offices:

e Laminated columns and beams.

o Cedar decking.

o Plant: 19'x26'unitized wall panels of 2" cedar, movable intact. Plywood dado walls.

o Off ice: exterior of rough cedar and special surface plywood. Interior walls feature wood paneling.
