BY J.[,CK

I{ere are some interesting historical facts concerning the Fourth of July, not generally known to the public. These facts are gleaned from writings of an eminent historian, Dr. Frank Harmon Carver. They concern the greatest document in profane history, the Declaration of Independence.

On June 7th, t776, Richard Henry Lee introduced a resolution in the Continental Congress calling for the adoption of the Declaration, as it came from the pen of Thomas Jefferson. With regard to dates, let us refer to a letter on July 3rd by John Adams to his wife, in which he said:

"Yesterday the greatest question was decided which was debated in America, and a greater, perhaps, never was or will be debated among men." As stated, that was dated July 3rd. John Adams also wrote to a friend a letter which stated:

"The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. f am apt to believe that itwill be celebrated by successive generations as a great anniversary festival." ***

But the Declaration was actually adopted on July 4th, rather than the 2nd, so we have since celebrated that day instead of the date predicted by John Adams.

It was on July 19 that the Continental Congress made and adopted a resolution that the document be engrossed upon parchment for permanent preservation. Then, on August 2, tbc Declaration was actually signed. Not by the entire Congress, for there were only 50 present that day.

Six other names -"rJ "u*u i.."r, ." follows: George Wythe signed on August 27th; Richard Henry Lee, Elbridge Gerry, and George Walton signed their names on

DIONNE

September 4th; Matthew Thornton signed on the following November 19th; and the name of Thomas McKean was added in the year 1781. So, instead of 55 signers, there were actually 56.

The story was often .:ra ; ,r,lr" a"y" that when John Hancock was asked why he signed his name in such a bold hand, he smilingly replied that he did so because he wanted King George to be able to read it without his glasses. The Liberty Bell was first rung on July 8th, when the Declaration, which had been ordered printed by the Congress on July 6th, was publicly read from the steps of the State House at noon.

The Liberty Bell was cast in Britain in L752. The quotation from Leviticus was cast on its side, reading: "Proclaim liberty to all the land, and unto all the inhabitants thereof." The bell was re-cast twice in America, the quotation being retained in each case. The Journal of Congress gives the facts concerning the ringing of the Liberty Bell.

rn the early years .f.; ol*r].r.r, it was not free from criticism. Even John Adams thought it was too bitter to refer to King George as a tyrant. Many criticized the wording of the document. Others questioned the originality of Thomas Jefferson, the writer. To the latter, Jefferson replied: "Whether I had gathered my ideas from reading, or refection, I do not know. I only know that I turned to neither book nor pamphlet while writing it.I do not consider it any part of my charge to invent new ideas altogether, and to offer no sentiments which had never been expressed before." X.**

Many critics thought the document was too highly rhetorical, forgetting that great thoughts must necessarily be couched in great words, and this was the mightiest document of human creation. No doubt the hand of Providence was with the tall red-head as he wrote the Declaration. and guided his pen.

Film Stor George lllontgomery 'Woodmqster of the Yeor'

Screen Star George Montgomery has been named recipi- ent of the lumber industry's first annual "Woodmaster-of the Year" award, honoring public figures who demonstrate outstanding skill and interest in working with wood. Montgomery was chosen 1958 "Woodmaster of the Year,, because of his achievements as an architect, designer, furniture manufacturer and advanced do-it yourselier.

The first "'Woodmaster" award, a cloik fabricated of several different hardwood and softwood species, was piesented to actor Montgomery at the operiing of the four-day meeting of the Nationil Lumber 'Manu"facturers Association, May 25, in Santa Barbara, Calif. __Vgtgornery took time out from the filming of a new NBC-TV series, "Cimarron City," to attend iward ceremonies at the Santa Barbara Biltmore hotel before more than 2ffi of the nation's leading lumber manufacturers.

Married to TV Entertainer Dinah Shore, Montgomery 9S.g!S"94 *nd built their contemporary home in Eeverly Hills, Calif., and most of its furniture. This house and seven others on which Montgomery has been the architect-builder emphasize natural textures and make generous use of wood.

Stains and natural finishes the warmth and character of cabinets, Japanese-style wood features of the homes.

- Floyd McGowin, president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Associition, explained that the new "Woodmaster" awards are intended to "focus attention on the more than 12 million Americans who find working with *qo_d I pleasant and profitable leisure-time activityl'

McGowin added : "Americans are rediscovering- how to work with their hands. The do-it-yourselfer of-today is really a_reincarnation of the Ameriian pioneer who, with his hands and the resources of our foreits. transformed a wilderness into civilization.

"The modern counterpart of these early pioneers deserves equal recognition for his skill and ingenuity."

natural creative ability is helpful but there are many books and pamphlets and newspaper features to serve as a guide.

Since one of the great motivating forces in our lives are children, it might be a good idea to start by making something for your youngsters.

With wood and the simplest hand tools, you can make a toy airplane, or a broom horse, or a teeter-totter. No toy that you buy, no matter what the price, will give you as much satisfaction.

A more advanced project, one especially suitable for a family with several children, would be a table and chairs for the nursery. Examine one of the many sets of plans for such a project and you'll see how easy it is to make.

Other itemithat are simple to build inilude a knick-knack shelf and a foot stool.

One of the first things the do-it-yourselfer should build is a sturdy work bench. You can make the legs of 4x4's and the top of 2x6's, both available at any lumber yard. Most yards will even pre-cut the material to the lerigths you order.

The do-it-yourselfer with extra skill can go on to such ambitious projects as building his own furniture or converting his attic or basement info useful living space. Maybe you can add a whole new room or even help with the building of your next home.

If these seem like projects beyond your reach, think of the American pioneers who built their own homes with only logs and crude hand tools.

Good luck in whatever vou undertake.

NOTE:

Film star George Montgomery is more than a movie hero. He is also a successful-archiiect, designer, furniture manufacturer and advanced do-it-your9etf9r. In recognition of Montgomery's talents in these fields, the National Lumber Manirfacturers Association has named him "Woodmaster of the Year." In the following signed article, Montgomery discusses some of the advan-tages of being a do-it-yourselfer and suggests specific projects for the students of this art.

fhe Rewords of Being A Do-lf-Yourselfer

By George Montgomery

The19 is no greater satisfaction for me than creating something with my hands. I have felt that way ever since I cut out paper replicas of animals and birds when I was four vears old.

I gtigsg I could have predicted the current do-it-yourself trend if_I had-just looked inwardly. There are many projects I like to do myself, and I know there must be mitiions of men, as well as women and children, who feel as I do.

The Georgia-Pacific Alaska Company has been given another three years to qualify for final award of a timber sale contract involving 7.5 billion board feet of timber in Alaska, the Lr. S. Department of Agriculture announced June 30. P_reliminary award of the timber, located in the Tongass National Forest in southeast Alaska near Juneau, was given to 1!e- company three years ago. The company. will have until July-I, 1961, to study plans further for utilizing the timber.. If it_qualifies for final award, the company may enter into a SO-year timber sale contract with the Forejt Service. In this case a plant will be constructed in Alaska by July l, 796/.

76,(LEAR /m, NKn / HEART \rmnx/\/REDWOOD\-/

The California Redwood Association has changed the design of the grademark on redwood lumber inspected by one of its own inspectors or by a grader of a company whose grading is supervised by these inspectors. The ne'"v grademark will be appearing on redwood lumber in the near future. There has been no change in redwood grading rules.

Redwood lumber grademarked with the old design will be in the market until all present stocks have been used. The two grademarks have identical significance.

The Association's inspectors are henceforth known as the Redwood Inspection Service and the new grademark incorporates the initial letters (RiS) of the name. An application for registration of the RIS design as a certification mark has been filed with the U.S. Patent Office.

Each grademark is composed of : (1) the grade designa- tion-"CLEAR HEART" in the example; (2) the species identification"REDWOOD"; (3) the RIS symbolthe Association's certification mark, and (4) the identifying mark of the inspector ("I2" in the example) or company responsible for the grading. Companies may be identified by company name, trade name, trademark or number.

Where the words, "Certified Kiln Dried" are incorporated into the grade marks for Clear All Heart, A grade, Factory Select, and Shop redwood. this identifies lumber which has been kiln-dried ln accordance with standards prescribed by the Association grading rules. It signifies redwood lumber of the highes( quality for architectural and millwork uses.

Copies of the new data sheet (281-2) "New Grade-Mark Design for Redwood Lumber" are being given wide distribution and a copy will be mailed with the invoice for each shipment of redwood lumber with the new grademark until it has been established. Copies of the data sheet are available from the Service Librarv. California Redwood Association,576 Sacramento Street, San Francisco 11.

Named Chief Inspector of the California Redwood Association's Redwood Inspection Service was Ralph U. Talvola (943 Bingen Avenue), Eureka, California, according to Philip T. Farnsworth, vice-president and general manager of the association. Talvola (left), who joined the association as an inspector in 1950, had been supervisor of inspectors for the past three years. The chief inspec- tor's position had been vacant since 1955 when George W. Nelson was advanced to his oresent position of d ire c to rof quality standards for the association.

Talvola is a native of the Redwood Region, and has nearly 30 years' experience in the lumber indusiry. He has worked with several major Humboldt county redwood producers and was an inspector for the West Coast Bureau of T-umber Grades and Inspection before joining the California Redwood Association.

fn announcing the promotion, Mr. Farnsworth said: "fn addition to being an exceptionally competent lumberman and grader, Ralph Talvola is an able administrator, and is popular with the inspection staff and the member companies. He has effectively promoted within the industry the importance of maintaining high standards in both manufacture and grading of redwood lumber. He and his inspectors have earned the respect and confidence of tl-re lumber producers with whom they work-vital factors in the maintenance of those high standards."

That was his favorite subject, and he lost no chance to rub it in on the boys in blue. Finally they got sick of his ribbing, and the story came to the ears of General Sherman, who had the boy brought before him.

"Son," said the grizzled general, "what's this I hear you are always telling my men about Chickamauga?"

"Well, General," said the unabashed youngster, ,,I just been telling them that us rebels certainly did give you Yankees hell at Chickamauga."

"It seems to me," said Sherman, "that you have been taking a rather cowardly advantage of your protected position to harass my men, and I'm going to make an example of you. You can take your choice, you can either go North to a Federal prison for the duration of the war, or you will immediately take the oath of allegiance to the United States. Which do you choose?"

Without hesitation the boy took the oath of allegiance.

"Now, son," said Sherman, with a grim smile, "what have you got to say about Chickamauga now?"

"Well, general," said the boy, likewise grinning, "all I've got to say is this: THEM rebels certainly did give US Yankees hell at Chickamauga."

Todoy's Western Pine Tree Forming Guqrontees Lumber Tomorrow

During the month of June, the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California was pleased to welcome the following firms into membership:

Central Valley Builders Supply, St. Helena-Robert Patterson, owner; and Nevada Lumber Company of Tahoe Valley-Harold Dayton, Jr., and F. K. Rahbeck, managing partnefs.

Survey of Operating Results

The Association's SURVEY OF OPERATING RESULTS lor 1957, which reports the gross profit, operating ratios and net profit as well as considerable other operating data of participating dealers, will shortly be published and distributed to member-dealers. The report, which has been expanded to include substantial comparative data, is presented in four-volume categories to enable individual dealers to compare their operating ratios with other dealers in the Northern California area doing a similar type operation.

Fresno Meeting

The Lumber Merchants Association sponsored a meeting of member-dealers from Fresno, Merced, Delano, Porterville and intermediate areas in Fresno the evening of Jrrne 17 to discuss the rapidly expanding and profitable h6meimprovement market. Representatives of Fresno's leading lending institutions, as well as from the Title I Division of FHA and Allied Building Credits, also attended the meeting.

Frank Crosby (left), the Northern California regional director for the Home Improvement Council-or HIC as it is popularly termed, told the almost 70 lumbermen and lenders present that the national home improvement market is today conservatively estimated at more than 14 billion dollars-materials for which are furnished by the retail lumber industry. Hardware, appliances, etc., represent an additional market of l7l billion dollars for a total of 3ll billions-more than double the size of the new construction market.

At no other time, Mr. Crosby stated, has the oppor- tunity to increase sales at full profit been more oppor- tune than at present-earnings have remained relatively stable and savings are at an all-time high.

People are also spending more on home improvements as indicated by the average FHA Title I insured loan, which in 1956 was $683 but in 1957 rose to $781. Current trends indicate that the averag'e loan in 1958 will approximate $1,000, an increase of more than 25/o. Representatives present from lending institutions confirmed that there is ample financing available in most communities for home lmprovements.

HIC is a permanent national organization sponsored by manufacturers, dealers, lenders, trade associations and contractors-each of whom has a common interest in stimulating the market. The Council's principal aim is to promote the home-improvement market by uniting all seclions of the building materials industry behind a well-coordinated home-improvement promotion directed toward the home owner.

In addition to furnishing home-improvement articles to leading shelter and women's magazines, HIC has distributed homeimprovement kits to more than 1,400 newspapers and 1,500 radio stations, all of whom are eager to join in tlie promotion.

As part of its program to alert homeowner! to needed home alterations or improvements, the Council is sponsor- ing two $125,000 contests (the second phase commenced July 1) with a first prize of $25.000 and -ore than 1.000 additional prizes. As part of the entry procedure, contestants are required to complete a checklist on their home,

Ageless Advertising

Advertising is as old as civilization.

The rainbow, so the Good Book says, was the first color advertisement, guaranteeing that the earth would never again be destroyed by food.

H. G. Wells, great English historian, said that the original religious advertiser was Saint Paul, raising his voice in the streets of Athens to proclaim his God and acquaint the pagans with Him.

When a mighty Asiatic potentate wrote in advance the inscription to be placed on his own tomb, reading-"I am Cyrus, O man !"-hs became the first great biographical advertiser.

And the mighty Caesar, writing the proceedings of the Roman Senate upon the very walls of Rome, became the original political ad writer.

Yes, advertising is not just as old as civilization-it is older.

"More new homes are built each year in the Los Angeles area than in any state in the union other than California," declared Milton J. Brock, Los Angeles builder and past president of the Home Builders Association, in a talk to the Advertising Club. He added that Southern California is two years ahead of other areas in the design and selling of homes.

Pointing out the aggressive merchandising needed to maintain this volume of new-home construction, the speaker said, "Present statistics indicate our current rate of growth will continue for at least another 10 years. We in the housing industry predict this area's greatest housing boom will occur in the early 1960s."

Construction contracts in the United States in May totalled $3,402,575,000, the highest figure ever reported for any single month, according to F. W. Dodge Corporation. Commenting on these new figures, Thomas S. Holden, Dodge vice-chairman, said it was now evident that "Construction is well past the bottom of the relatively mild recession it *as e*periencing in.late 1957 and early 1958."

Contracts for residential buildings in May totalled $1,346,170,000, an increase of 4/o over May 1957. The number of dwelling units covered by the May contracts was 104,048, the highest monthly total in two years and 2/o above May 1957. The number of single-family units was one percent ahead of May 1957, and the number of units in apartment buildings was up l4/o.

Upkeep of o Wood School ls Low-budget ltem

(Il[any retail lumber dealers tod,ay are puslcing the construction of zaood schools in their towns to good. profit adaantage. It you haae been zuorking in your comrnunity witk sch,ool ofi,cials, ciaic leaders, board,s ol education, architects, etc., perkapi these two articles zuill furnish you with some aital ne.& enNlnunition.)

By Harry Fimmel, West Coast Lumbermen's Association

"In the four years that our wood school has been in operatiou, maintenance costs have been virtually nil. In fact. our only big expenditures have been $300 for staining the siding-not included in the original contract-and $125 for waterproofing concrete block work."

That is what Errol lfassell, superintendent of the Firgrove Elementary school at Beaverton, Oregon, has to say in answer to the popular misconception that wood schools are costly to maintain. And Hassell, as well as members of his school disfrict, is justly proud of the sleek and beautiful modern one-story wood school with all its latest educational facilities. Firgrove ii not a small school. The frame structure with wood siding exterior, and completely finished in wood on the interior, has hore than 20 classrooms, a gymnasium, auditorium and cafeteria.

All too often, individuals involved in new school construction programs are prone to eliminate consideration of wood buildings in their planning because of an over-exaggerated idea that maintenance costs on such structures are unreasonable. But in gathering statistics on the subject, the West Coast Lumbermen's Association has found that upkeep costs for schools of wood are no more than routine.

An analysis of maintenance points up the fact that the tvpe of construction or materials used is not a primary consideration. In school buildings, as in homes, the areas and surfaces subject to wear and direct use are the ones requiring maintenance. Hardware, plumbing fixtures, roofs and floors are among the principal items calling for upkeep and repair. Wood construction with its resulting economies permits purchase of the top quality brands of the high maintenance items, thereby assuring reasonable maintenance costs.

In going through records of another wood school, WCLA staffers found that maintenance of grounds was much more costly than any actual work on the school plant itself. This survey was made at the l0-year old elementary school in West IJnion, Oregon, a handsome structure with nine classrooms, a gymnasiurn and cafeteria situated on a 13-acre site.

Principal Paul A. Merriss, who made the study possible, pointed out that actual expenditures for maintenance of the wood structure, such as painting or replacing of wood, was only a minor consideration and the following breakdown of costs taken from the school's maintenance records for a five-year period bear him out:

Schools do not normallv keep such detailed cost records but it is interesting to note tie breakdown when records are kept as they are at this particular school.

A more economical job of building maintenance means the functional life of a school is increased and the best possible environment for teaching and learning can be provided over a long period.

Robert Llewellyn, superintendent of schools at Creswell, Oregon, has found maintenance costs for wood buildings so reasonable that he has been able to group two such structures under a single budget.

And the total expenditure is almost insignificant in comparison with spending for other aspects of education in that community.

The two schools at Creswell, both of wood, consist of one that has been in almost daily use since 1911, and another which was constructed and occupied in 1950. Although old in appearance, the two-story, lZ-classroom, frame structure has more than proven its usefulness through the years with a minimum of maintenance expense and a maximum of versatility. About the 20-classroom new school, Llewellyn says, "Maintenance on this building has taken only about $100 of the combined budget each year."

But the figures speak for themselves. Combined annual maintenance cost for the two schools as taken from the records is as follows: 1955-56, $484.50; 1956-57, $1,433.76; 1957-58, $500.00; 1958-59 (highest in the history of the school district), which is in a large part earmarked for refurbishing of the older building.

NLMA's first exhibit stressing the advantages of the modern wood school impressed members of thi National School Board Association at their meeting in Miami Beach, Florida, recently. The exhibit was noi only a first for NLMA but a first for the school board group is well. Until this_.year NSBA had not held a booth show at its meeting. Visitors crowded NLMA's exhibit to learn how to stretJh their school building dollars and to see how modern onestory wood schools are being constructed throughout the country. As a result, requests for NLMA's special kit on the construction of wood schools have been reaching NI MA's office daily. Many of the school administratori left requests at the booth to have the school kit sent to them.

Contained in the kit are folders and booklets showing how wood is used in schools and telling how the modern wood school can -save .taxpayers money. It is in keeping with the theme of the school exhibit, "More for Your-Mo=nev With the Modern Wood School."

New Redwood Film Shows Oufstonding Exomples of Modern, U.S. Schools

A view of the modern school as an "efficientlv olanned workspace for learning-far advanced from the tighi 6oxed-in room of a-few years.ag_o," is presented in a new Color film prepared by the California Redwood Association.

Entitled "Space for Learning," the l5-minute film is available at no charge for showing by groups and organizations throughout the United States. The film ls expected to be of special interest to school boards and administritors, architects, builders, parent-teacher groups and others concerned with the design and use of schools. It shows how top architects are designing safer, more beautiful,'more functional schools at a surprisinglv low cost to the community.

Just a few years ago, "everything was taught in one room from the first grade to the last grade," the film points out. But life has become more complex, and "today's schoolroom needs space-space for work-space to do things-and space to store things."

llow various communities have approached their educational problems is illustrated by examples of outstanding schools chosen from many areas of the United States.

The movie also illustrates the contribution a material like California redwood can make to the friendly appeal of a school structure, the beauty of a site and the appearance of a neighborhood and community.

"Space for Learning;'was produced by Erven Jourdan of Los Angeles for the California Redwood Association. It is the second CRA film to be released this year. Earlier, "The Forever Living Forests," which shows how and where the redwoods grow, and how the logs are manufactured into quality lumber, was released for general viewing. The films may be scheduled singly or together for a group program. Bookings should be made well in advance.

ttA Piece of Tomorrowtt

Two of the richest natural resources of our region are our growing trees and our growing youngsters. Whatever plans we may have for the future of our forests hinge on how well the high school students of today, the worker and voter of tomorrow, understand our forest wealth as we see it.It $'ill one day be all theirs to manage.

This conference is the practical answer to the problems of educating the men who will tomorrow work in the forests of our region, with a stake in our economy. What the Junior Logging Conference teaches these students about forest management, safety, wiseuse conservation and general work attitudes cannot be learned from textbooks or in a classroom.

Senior Sponsors who send their $10.00 contributions to the Redwood Region Conservation Council, Rosenberg building, Santa Rosa, Calif., will make a real purchase. They will btry a piece of tomorrow.

Fluor Gorporofion Purchoses

Summerbell Roof Strucfures

The Fluor Corporation, Ltd., has purchased the assets of Summerbell Roof Structures (a California corporation), one of the nation's largest manufacturers of glued-laminated iimber products and wood roof trusses, and it will become a division of Fluor. Harold S. Bender, assistant to the president of Fluor Products Co., manufacturing division of the parent organization, has been appointed general manager of Summerbell. Management, supervisory and operating personnel will be retained, Bender ,said. At present, there are about 100 Summerbell employes in Los Angeles.

"This acquisition will add an important netv companion line to our present wood manufacturing business, which includes cooling towers, tanks, wood stave pipe and pole-line crossarms,', stated James P. Wiseman, president of Fluor Products Co. "We foresee excellent prospects for growth in sales and profits within the gluedJaminated timber construction industrv.,' he said.

The Summerbell Roof Structures division r,r'ill design. engineer, fabricate and erect glued-laminated wood products-, including arches, beams, structural timbers and l-amella roofs (an European- development accomplishing the same purpose as trusses, giving clear floor _space with no posts of columns), as well as -rafters, stringers, Sundeck roof coverings and all other types of engineered timber structures. The acquisition includes sole right to the name, patents, trademarks, and various other assets related to the wood fabrication business.

_ The purchase excludes real property and certain other assets. Fluor will lease Summerbell'i eiisting plant at B2S E. 2gth Street, Los Angeles.

Summerbell was founded in 1924 under the name of Trussless Roof Company. The original partners were Charles C. Calvert and Vincent Cates. Mr. Calvert died in 1954. Mrs. Charles C. Calvert, his widow, served as president and director of the organization until the recerrt acquisition. In 1926, the partnership. acquired the assets and patents held by W. J. Summerbell, originator of the so-called Sumrnerbell truises, rnd .t the same time obtained the lease to Summerbell's plant in Los Angeles. The present plant was built il 1940, and has been expinded subsllantially since that time. The office buildimg was -erected in 1945.

Summerbell was one of the first companies to develop gluedlaminated timber products applicable to roof structures. The modern, glued-laminated timber construction industry has achieved phenomenal growth since World War II, with i present national market of approximately $50,000,000 a year. prior to the war, it was a relatively small industrv, and was generally viewed as an experimental idea.

Today, glued-laminated roof structures are accepted structural materials used widely in almost every type of structure,

including churches, schobls, bridges, commercial and industrial buildingi. This new and distinctive product, developed through research and engineering, uses a gluing and laminating production method that literally "grows" structural shapes and sizes oreviouslv unheard of in timber construction.

Structural glued-laminated timber comprises an assembly of wood laminations in which the grain of all laminations is approximately parallel, longitudinally, and in which the laminations are bonded with adhesives. Douglas fir is generally used by West Coast fabricators, although other materials also are used. These engineered structural members are "factory grown" of seasoned, dry structural lumber. Designed to specified timber shapes and sizes, they are stronger than other members of_equal weight, and lighter thart other members of equal strength, according to the American Institute of Timber Construction'

Heavy timber construction is recognized as an exceptionally good fire risk, compared to other structural materials. Wood timbers char or burn slowly, but do not collapse under intense heat. For this reason, timber construction (sprinklered) ge.erally carries a proportionately low fire-insurance rate.

Timber buildings which have been in service for many generations are commonplace throughout the civilized world. For examole. Connecticut hall on the campus of Yale university was built in 1750. Structural framing *i. heavy timber. In -1953, when the building was modernized, the timber framing was found to be sound, and much of it still remains to serve for several more generations.

Durability of modern, engineered tin,ber construction will be even greater than that of older timber structures which have served for hundreds of years. the Institute states.

Burglars who broke into the Rutter Lumber Co., El Monte, recently were evidently so mad when they couldn't crack the safe in the office that they left the place a shambles. Owner Cullen Bivens estimated at $750 the wanton vandalism, which included smashing screen doors, damaging walls, scattering paint, tools, plumbing supplies and nails, and mixing paint, glues and wood filler and spreading the concoction over the floors; not to mention throwing adding machine tape around like streamers. They pounded the safe's dial with a hammer, knocked the hinges loose and tried a hacksaw. As a final injury, they soldered Dealer Bivens' file cabinet and desk drawer so he was unable to get into them.

Lumber locqls Toke Poy Cuts

Albuquerque, N. M.-Two locals of the AFL-CIO Lumber & Sawmill Workers Ijnion-Local2864 at Bernalillo. N. M.. and Loca| 2687 at Gilman, Ariz.-accepted cuts in wages and fringe benefits in a new 2-year contract with the New Mexico Timber Co., because of low lumber prices and depressed market. They had been without contracts since negotiations broke down last Fall, but sawmill operations were closed all winter because of wet weather and the poor lumber market.

T. P. Gallagher, company president, said the cost reductions would enable it to resume oDerations at Bernalillo. with doubleshift operations by July I employing 150 men. The union gave up paid holidays and paid vacations but the minimum hourly wag'e remains $1.75, with higher classifications c.ut 4/a.

Secretary Joe Rivera said the company had always given voluntary wage increases when the price of lumber was good, and he expected the company would give its employes "every break when the market gets better." Gallagher said when the market improves the men would get wage increases without asking for them. New Mexico Timber Co. manufactures finished lumber in Bernalillo from its Gilman mill and also from independent mills and company logging operations in northern Arizona and New Mexico.

NEW SATINLAC LIGHTENER HOLDS NATURAL WOOD TONE

Weldwood Satinlac Lightenera totally new product designed to provide a finish whic,h retains the natural color tone of the wood, is the highlight of a general revisi,on of packaging, pricing and products in United States Plywood Corporation's line of Weldwood wood ,finishes and adhesives. Architects and others have for years sought ways of retaining trhe natural wood tone. Satinlac Lightener provides a solution through development of a unique "anti-wetting" agent, designed as a ,base coat, on top of which Satinlac may then be applied without darkening. One gallon of Satinlac Lightener covers 300-350 sq. ft. It dries in less than an hour.

U. S. Plywood's new pricing policy, said company, applies not only to the Weldwood finishes but also to Weldwood Resorcinol and Plastic Resin Glue. Under t'he new policy, the dealer discount has rbeen raised from 33VtVo ro 4$/o-a move calculated to increase the dealer's profits on these items. For finishes, the new discount rate applies to orders for 12 gallons or more. T'he entire line of Weldwood adhesives and finishes is thus standardized aI a 4O% discount to the retail trade.

Offrcer William Gerson recently told lumbermen meeting at city hall that the forest has been authorized to allow an additional cut of timber to make up for previous years in which the actual cut lagged. He said the increase could equal 20/o of the annual average cut of about 200 million b.f. and probably would be spread over a S-year span.

Equipment leosing Rises

Sar.r Francisco-Despite the current dip in capital spendir.rg, leasing of capital equiprnent ir-r the first four months of 1958 shorvs a 14/o gain over the sir.nilar period of 1957, according to United States Leasing Corporation. The largest users of leased industrial equipnrent today are 10 nranufacturing industries: pu$, paper ancl allied proclucts; electrical equipment and machinery; chenricals and <lrugs; rubber products ; fabricated nretal products ; petroleum refining; food products ; lumber and r,l'ood proclucts; aircraft and parts; and printing and publishing. Lumber compar.ries are leasing whole planing mills.

Major reasons given by manufacturing cor.npanies for leasing assets today, according to U. S. Leasing Corp.'s findings, are (l) tight r,r'orking capital ratios, (2) the preservation of cash for later expansion, and (3) tl.re desire to keep liquicl capital u'orking in the busir.ress rather than having it tied up in equipnent assets.

For companies ir.rterested in examining the advantages and disadvantages of leasir.rg industrial equipn.rent or even entire plants, a recent studv might be helpful. E,ntitled "Leasing and American Industry," it is available free by writing to The Foundation for Nlanagement Research, 121 \\rest Adams St., Chicago 3, I1l.

Moved Him

Two old fellows in Pennsylvania were scanning aqgry skies when one said: "Reminds me of the clouds back in South Carolina just before the hurricane struck."

"Bad, was it?" asked the other.

"Well," said the first, "I never had no intention of visiting Pennsylvania."

The Eqsiest Business

Nothing is easier than fault-finding; no talent, no selfdenial, no brains, no character are required to set up in the grumbling business.

-Robert West.

Price - Cutter

There once was a hustling contractor

To whom cost was never a factor. He bid just below Where he thought it would go, And now the guy's greasing a tractor.

Eorly to Bed

Wrote John Jacob Astor: "The man who makes it the habit of his life to go to bed at nine o'clock usually gets rich and is usually reliable. Of course, going to bed does not make him rich; I merely mean that such a man will in all probability be up early in the morning and do a big day's work, so his weary bones put him to bed early. Rogues do their work at night. Honest men work by day. ft's all a matter of habit, and good habits in America make any man rich. Wealth is largely a result of habit.',

A Reference

"Could you give me a bank reference?" said the salesman to the new customer. "Just a formality, /ou know."

"I could," replied the customer, "but it would only distress you."

Your Dog

Pity the man who knows no faltering paws, Who wins no welcome back for his return. Who never sees the scratch of little claws

Upon his polished foors; pray he may learn

The adoration of clear eyes that see, Within a master's voice, their diety.

-Russell Wragg.

R.eversed Duty

"Some of these guyS," remarked Buck Private Cassidy, "has got the idea that the duty of a good soldier is to die for his country. Nuts to that ! The duty of a good soldier is to make the enemy soldiers die for THEIRS."

Technicol

The teacher in a science class in high school will never forget the following answer, written by a young lady in a quiz. One of the questions was: "Define a bolt and nut, and explain the difference." The girl wrote: "A bolt is a thing like a stick of hard metal such as iron, with a square bunch on one end and a lot of scratching wound. round the other end. A nut is similar to a bolt only just the opposite, being a hole in a chunk of iron, sawed off short with wrinkles around the inside of the hole." The startled teacher blinked several times, then marked that one ,'A."

Country life

William Penn said: "Country life is to be preferred, for there we see the works of God; but in cities. little else but the works of men; and the one makes a better subject for our contemplation than the other. The country is both the philosopher's garden and library, in which he reads and contemplates the power, wisdom, and goodness of God."

No Reportee

"This butter," said Boarder Number One at the breakfast table, "is so strong it could walk over and cuss the coffee."

"It wouldn't do any good," said Boarder Number Two. "The coffee is too weak to talk back."

The Open Rood

Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road, Healthy, free, the world before me,

The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose. Henceforth I ask not good fortune, I myself am good fortune;

Flencefore I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing;

Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms, Strong and content I travel the open road.

All seems beautiful to me, I can repeat over to men and women, you have done such good to me f would do the same to you.

I will recruit for myself and you as I go, I will scatter myself among men and women as I go, I will toss a new gladness and roughness among them.

-Walt Whitman.

S.F. Reoltors Optimistic

I\{embers of the San Francisco Real Estate Board returned last month from the annual directors' meeting in Washington full of optimism over the outlook for the real estate mlarket in the balance of 1958. Leaders predicted an increase in home buying, decrease in interest rates, and stabilization of prices.

It was forecast that homebuyers intent on quality will reenter the market in larger numbers the latter part of the year, and that prices will remain constant or rise slightly in the west. The 65th annual market survey was heard by San Franciscans J. Mortimer Clark, CREA past president, and others.

The increase in housing sales will stem from moderately priced new construction and improved flow of mortgage funds, it was reported. Revived confidence by the National Assn. of Home Builders was also reported, with three out of five builders said to be expanding their scheduled 1958 operations.

New Lumberyord in Cucomongo

The Board of Supervisors last month voted rezoning of property at Turner, Feron and the Santa Fe tracks which paved the way to opening a lumberyard and mill business in Cucamonga, Calif. The property was owned by John Travaglia. The land involved had been reported sold to the Arcadia, Lumber Co. but the sale was contingent on the rezoning. The Arcadia yard plans installation of a complete lumberyard with the mill on the property.

NBMDA Seeks Solid Front of Building Mqferiql Worehousers

MARYSVITTE, CAIIF. Highwoy 99-E Phone:34253

The National Building Material Distributors Association is launching an intensive membership drive to further implement and broaden the scope of the association's activities on behalf of the wholesale distributor of building materials. Des_cribing tLe need for increased NBMDA membership as "urgent," President T. J. Dougherty cited three priniipal reasons:

1) Continued emphasis on the importance of the wholesale distributor and-the economic iusiification for the use of the wholesale distributor by both the national manufacturer and the retail dealer

2) A greater need for the wholesale distributor to meet the competitive challenge of other industries vying for a greater share of the consumer dollar.

3) Concentration of all phases of independent warehous-

ing wholesalers in order to present a united front in the expanding industry.

The NBMDA president focused attention on problems that are the outgrowth of over-production, stating that "Distribution cannot rise above the practitioners, iniluding the manufacturers, who participate. Thus the present distribution system can be improved by better performance on the part of all elements in the distribution chain."

- "Obviously_there is more to distribution than just 'making. a sale.' The_ important associated elements of quality and service_coupled with the objective to make the biildina material industry one of prime interest to serve the ultimati consumer efficiently-but,well, econopically and thorough, provides a real goal for all associated with our industrv a"nd its traditional distributive system through the approiriate steps from Manufacturer to Wholesale Distributoiio R.etail Dealer," NIr. Dougherty declared.

"For a nominaf membership fee, the NBMDA member

buys a share in the planning and direction of the overall endeavor of the wholesale distributive industry in the merchandising and marketing fields.

"Hundreds of wholesale distributors who do not now belong to NBMDA can readily afford it. If the majority do join, it is easy to envision what would happen in the way of greater mass efforts on behalf of the wholesale distributor," Mr. Dougherty stated.

Announcement of the membership drive was the first action of the president since the national Spring meeting of NBMDA at Philadelphia, where over 350 distributors and manufacturers met for a two-day business session, NBMDA's membership is now approximately 475 independent wholesale warehouses in 42 states with total annual sales of nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars. According to President Dougherty, NBMDA currently represents ap- proximately one-third of the qualified wholesale distributois of building materials in the United States.

locql Poper Writes Up Sonto Monicq Deqler Fox

The Santa Monica Evening Outlook last month carried a writeup on Tom Fox, president of the John W. Fisher Co. there, in its series of articles on well-known local people' It said the yard supplied the lumber for the new Surf Rider Inn. Mr. Fox has spent manv vears as an active member of the community and was,president of the local Rotary club in 1955-56, the paper said. He was also president of the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce in 1953, it said of the two-time president of the Southern California Retail Lumber Assn.

Mentioning Dealer Fox's accomplishment in sponsoring the auditorium and the paving of Neilson Way during his C. of C. tenure, the article listed his other civic activities as a director in the NRLDA, on the board of the Community Chest, Red Cross, Navy League, and a member of the Recreation Commission. He is a member also of the American Legion, Elks and Knights of Columbus. In 1953, the retail lumberman received the National Public Relations award.

The Tohn W. Fisher Lumber Co. was established in 1923 and its management won it the above award from the National Retail Lumber Dealers Assn. Citing the yard further, the newspaper mentioned that Robert Sievers, now the yard's general manager, was named Santa Monica's "Young Man of the Year" tor 1956-57.

eva,luating almost every product used in its construction and maintenance-from roof to ground.

In this way, Mr. Crosby stated, the homeowner will himself learn of the need for improvements and it is at this point_that the dealer has his greatest opportunity to merchandise a package home imprevgrnqnl--rnateriais, financ- ing and labor. As evidence of consumer interest in the "lfow's Your Home contest," Mr. Crosby reported that over 1S_million entry forms have already been diitributed.

Local dealers, contractors and lenders can effectively tiein with the national campaign, Mr. Crosby told the group, by displaying the HIC membership seal in their adiertiitng, promoting the contest and working together in a concerted effort to broaden and stimulate ihe iegional market.

Group activity, he emphasized, is not onl| considerably more effective than independent action but it is also mori economical.

As an example of the potential regional home-improvement market, Mr. Crosby estimated that there are 50,000 homes in the Fresno marketing area of which at least four out of five are in need of alierations, additions or improvements.

If an-a_g_g_ressive local campaign, supported by the strong national HIC program, were tostimulite but one-fourth oT these 40,000 homeowners to make an average-size home improvement, over 10 million dollars would -be put to work in the-community. The po_tential is there, Mr. ^Crosby concluded, and it is huge.. Home improvements are today,s brightest star in the building mateiials market.

- Sp_eaker Frank_L. Crosby-is manager of public relations for Permanente Cement Company and subsidiaries which ilclude Kaiser 9yp.uttr Compiny, a national HIC sponsor. +e_ has ,served the past two years as vice-chairman of the Oakland-East Bay Operatioh Home fmprovement com-

mittee and is an Executive committee member of the Oakland Urban Renewal program. During this time he has appeared before Chamber oi Commerce and building industry groups in over 100 western communities to assist in getllng local-level HIC programs underway. A former building materials dealer, Crosby handled sales and promotion for a Northwest lumber and plywood manufacturer with a line of retail yards before joining Kaiser in 1954.

The Lumber Merchants Association will shortly announce member-dealer meetings in other areas to discuss home improvements.
