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."
