Don't Get lllod

Back in the year 1918, when the First World War was raging, old John L. Sullivan, famous Boston heavyweight fighter and already an elderly man, predicted that the Germans would lose the war. But his reason for thinking so was somewhat different from most.

The Hun would lose, said the famous old slugger, "Because they get mad too quick." He added: "In the prize ring, when you see a fighter begin to boil over and see red in the first round, you know that the next thing, he won't be able to see at all." So he deduced that the Germans would lose the war because they were "mad all the time they are fighting."

And old John L. sent a message to the American soldiers

Washington, D.C.-The after-taxes profits of corporations engaged in the manufacture of lumber and wood products amounted to an estimated 3/o of. sales in the first quarter of 1959-down from the 3.8/o profit rate of the fourth quarter last year. but well above the unusually low 0.I/o for the first quarter of 1958, according to figures just released by the Federal Trade and Securities-Exchange Commissions and reported in the June 26 "Lumber Letter" of the National Lumber Manufacturers Assn.

Sales by lumber and wood products corporations totaled $1.4 billion in the first 1959 quarter-a shade off the $1.5 billion reported for the previous 3-months period, but considerably higher than the year-ago level of $1.15 billion. The after-taxes profits of these companies amounted to an estimated $43 million in the iirst 1959 quarter, compared with $57 million in the fourth 1958 quarter and a slim $1 million in the first quarter of 1958.

Lumber-Grode Committee Problems Are YOUR Problems

will be next year, 1960, and I don't know in what city. Probably, Salt Lake City.

Reported by LOWELL KOLB, Chairman, at Meeting, April 29, Southern California Retail Lumber Assn.

I was asked to report to you on our progress in the past year, the problems we have encountered and how we have attempted to solve them. Erik Flamer could probably tell you more in two minutes than I can tell you in the next five. I will make it brief, however, and then I would like to have questions from the floor.

Our first problem was getting the various building departments to accept the Standard and Better grade of lumber. The second problem was getting the acceptance of I5/o Utility in Douglas Fir Studs and Utility grade subfloor and Utility sheathing for solid roofs. We also wanted a demand from the various building departments for proper grade-stamping. As you know, this has been accomplished.

It is true that to begin with grade-stamping was the opinion of building offrcials, rather than law of the land. However, in the 1958 Uniform Building Code, there is a requirement for grade-stamped lumber and also machinery is set up to determine what becomes an authorized grading agency. The two areas that work outside the Uniform Building Code in Southern California are the City of Los Angeles and the City of Long Beach and they have already embodied this requirement in their codes and are enforcing it. The acceptance of the 1958 Building Code as such has been delayed because in the first paragraph of the first grouping, group No. 1 in Table 25-E, Standard Grade Douglas Fir was eliminated. This has been of vital importance to us and we are now working with the various chapters to create uniformity ir-r the acceptance and demand of Standard grade Douglas Fir lumber 2x6 and wider. It is possible that complete conformity cannot be obtained until 1961. but in anv event we will have Standard Grade 2x6 and wider in every building code in some manner prior to the 1961 Code. Incidentally, the 1961 Code will be discussed this year, 1959, in San Antonio, Texas. The final acceptance

We then had requests from the various yards and some of the mills to try ahd obtain approval for the use of Utility two-inch T&G for sub-flooring and also Utility plate stock. After much time on Erik's part, spent with the various building departments, practically all of them considered the use of Utility T&G and the majority of them will accept Utility T&G. As for the use of Utility Plate stock, it was just the opposite, most of the building departments have rejected the idea. However, we will not give up and I hope that this next year we will be able to get their approval for this item. I am fairly sure that the Citrus Belt area will accept Utility plate within the next few weeks.

You and I know that Utility plate stock is being shipped on many jobs now, some of it grade-stamped and some of it is not. In many cases they are getting by without being caught by the inspectors. Some of this is the fault of the coniractor and I -think some of it is iust out and out cheating on the part of the lumber dealeri. Naturally, when this Utility grade is shipped it causes unfair competition. There is not a whole lot to be done about it unless some of you know of specific cases and report it to either Erik or to me.

Recently, fake stamps copying West Coast Lumber Bureau stamps were detected and also copies of WPA stamps made their appearance. It was first discovered in Long Beach by some of the more alert building inspectors. Shortly afterwards, they were discovered in Fullerton. In both instances the lumber in question was used by the same contracting firm. A little detective work on the part of Erik, Don Comstock and Carl Ramstrom brought out the fact that the stamp had been made for a lumber company in Placentia, Orange County-not a member of our Association. They found out the name of the manufacturer, picked up a copy of the invoice for the stamp which was sold to the lumber company, went out to the lumber yard and picked up the stamps. I think quite possibly there could have been a court case built up against them, but nothing has been done so far.

During the past few weeks we have had other stamps appear in Glendora and Monrovia. In both of the latter cases, the same company furnished the grade-stamped lumber, showing WCLB on the left, but not in a shield. In other words, it was a bootleg stamp, but very close to the real thing. I have samples here I can show you. It was obvious that the 2x4 had been ripped from wider stock and of an inferior grade. Some of the floor joists were of Utility grade and none were stamped. Quite often, before the framing inspection is made, the sub-floor has been laid which hides any inferior grade of joists that may have been used. I think we have this licked, however, because various areas are now setting up special floor joists inspections.

If the dealers who have been using bootleg stamps and doing their own stamping are caught, their jobs are stopped by the building officials until the lumber has been properly grade-stamped. However, this doesn't help a legitimate dealer because the damage has already been done.

We know that a great number of the mills are shipping Standard & Better into this market with their shipments containing l0 to 15% Utility which is not stamped. We also know that these same dealers purchasing this lumber are shipping it out on jobs without re-grading, which is not right. This is especially true in shipments of 1x6 and 2x4, We can't stop the mills from making these shipments, nor can we prevent any lumber company from buying such shipments, but we can and will do something about it when the lumber reaches the job-and this will be done without any partiality being shown.

Another one of our problems at the present time is the use of all the different species of lumber. Erik has many

For Lasting Building Value Feature Wnipn

O When you sell Weyerhaeuser 4-square Kilndried Lumber, you are really selling better buildings. Here is why: kiln-drying, the way Weyerhaeuser does it, scientifically pre-seasons lumber to a lower and more uniform moisture content.

As a result, the lumber is harder and stronger. When used for framing, the uniformity of the lowered moisture content gives the structure greater strength during and after construction.

Add the tremendous nail-gripping power of kiln-dried lumber and it is easy to see why there are few problems with squeaky floors, popping nails, plaster cracks, sticking windows and doors. These are just a few of the reasons why profitminded lumber dealers feature kiln-dried lumber . . and why profit-minded builders buy this seasoned lumber from these dealers.

l<ilnoinipnl-unrhen lncreases Sales

Dealers who promote trademarked Weyerhaeuser 4-Square Kiln-dried Lumber report that it is a best-seller-and for very good reasons:

Year after year you have had a steady increase in fir plywood sales. May we ask if you ever wondered how this great increase in your sales happened.

The answer, we think, lies in the 2l-year multi-million dollar promotion, research and quality control programs carried on by the better fir plywood manufacturers.

Therefore, if you think well of the results of this industry efiort, is it unreasonable to ask you to support these manufacturers by buying only DFPA grade-trademarked plywood?

Your support is vital if these large sums of promotional money are to continue on your behaff.

Remodeled Fqirfox Lumber Co. Puts ftlerchondise Out in Open, Prices lt, ond They Go Buy-Buy

The Fairfax (California) Lumber Co. celebrated the completion of an extensive remodeling and expansion of its showroom with a two-day grand opening this Spring. Although formerly operating a sizable stoie which was inItalled during the Fall ot 1954 (CLM l2/l/54), Owner Frank Boileau experienced such success with thai installation that it soon became apparent he was going to need additional room to properly service his increasei walk-in trade.

The new showroom more than doubles the area of the old store and is a first-class job in every respect. Covering some 4,000 sq. ft., the showroom boasts -two checkout stands-one for cash sales, the other for credit and lumber sales-eleven brand-new Daley center islands. some 85 feet of wall display fixtures, and the most complete. pricetag_ged store inventory of any lumberyard in tlie area.

But regardless of the new retail slore, Fairfax Lumber is still very much of a lumberyard, too. Not just a do-it-

yourself "pavilion," Fairfax carries some 2,000,000 b.f. of inventory qt all times and operates a full-fledged planing mill, two lift trucks, two carriers and seven delivery trucks to efficiently serve its custom homebuilder clientle.

"The custom builder and the retail consumer, that's what we're gearing our operation to," Dealer Frank told CLM back in November 1954 when his store was undergoing its first remodeling.

"Our constant aim is to keep pace with the times and to offer the best possible service to the retail customer and the custom builder who are the backbone of our business," he said then . . and we repeat that statement here because. almost five years later, Dealer Boileau has again e*panded his operation for the very same reason-to bettei serve the retail customer and custom home builder.

Of course, this dealer has come up with several new innovations in his new store not incorporated before. The sep- aration of cash sales from credit sales by use of separale r,*n*

Free Ponel-Cutting, Finqncing Advice, Advertising ond Weekly Speciols Skyrocket Soles of Self-service Yord

Norbert Bundschuh, general manager of the Myrtle Avenue Lumber Company, Monrovia, California, has completed a remodeling of the sales-display area of the yard's mbdern retail store which more than doubles the space formerly occupied by the various departments of the self-service yard. In the expansion program for customer service, a new cut-off mill was added to offer San Gabriel Valley patrons a free "cut-to-size" panel and plywood on-the-spot-deal at the point-of-sale.

More than I,200 interested homeowners in the San Gabriel Valley area visited the Open llouse celebrating the added shopping space, and Manager Bundschuh reports a first-quarter increase of better than 2O% in sales of all departments.

"The potential buyers also stay longer and they browse around in our self-service sections, which, of

course, improves the volume of sales," said Dealer Bundschuh.

"Our Southwest Plywood display, which also features Deft wood finish, has increased paneling and plywood sales beyond our greatest expectations, and selections are made of materials to fit any decor, whether new construction or remodeling," he continued. "Sales have sky-rocketed," he declared.

Weekly specials, which are advertised via direct mail and local newspapers, also play an important part in volume sales. And the Myrtle Avenue Lumber personnel will assist the customer in full financing, whether the project is large or small.

This progressive retail lumber firm was established 14 years ago and, through aggressive merchandising under the guidance of Norb Bundschuh, has become one of the

Some Signer Himself

The eastern highbrow was borrowing some money from a banker named Rothschild and, when he signed the note, he did so with great precision and elaborate care, making a very beautiful signature out of it.

"My friend," said the banker admiringly, "you write a wonderful hand."

"Yes," admitted the borrower, "I try to be very careful

with my signature, because one of my forefathers signed the Declaration of fndependence."

"According to that way of thinking," said the banker. ..f should be very careful with my signature, too."

"Why?" said the other patronizingly. "Did one of your ancestors sign the Declaration of Independence?"

"No," said Banker Rothschild, "but one of them wrote the Ten Commandments."

(Continued from Page 8) most important retail lumber outlets ln the Southland.

With a start of two employes, Ilundschuh and the present sales manager, Paul Forman, the Nlyrtle Avenue yard now has more than 15 skilled workers, operates its own customer Tilling s-ervice, three trucks and mobile yard equipment. This is d_one, and could only be done, through the highly organize.d, self-service system employed by the firm. t'

"It is a very common situation to have f.rom ZS to 7 S customers waiting on themselves at one time,,' said Sales Manager Forman. "Believe me, the do-it-yourself customer and weekend contractor is a most important man to us," he continued.

^ Ttrif service organization stocks a full line of rough and finish lumber, hardware, tools, paint, plumbing, ani elec- trical equipment- Exterior and interioi finish,'ioofing and hundred of builders' items are available, regardless of the builders' requirements.

To grow with the community, according to Norb

Bundschuh, it is necessary for all employes to be courteous at all times. Building community goodwill is most important, quality of merchandise is a definite must. Constructive and well-planned advertising, ancl helping the customer with his budget problems through proper credit and financing are also definite dealer duties.

According to Norb, you just can't go wrong if you practice all of this, along with the "Golden Rule." Ii you do, they will beat a path to your door, just like they do at the progressive Myrtle Avenue Lumber Company.

The Benefits of Deoler Associqtion lllembership

By Hol A. Brown, President 42nd Annual Meeting, S.C.R.L.A.-April 7, 1959

(Continued from the Last Issue)

There is no service the Association performs that can be more valuable than conducting the yearly 'Cost of Doing Business Survey.' The profit motive is normally considered the lodestone of business endeavor. That it apparently is lacking in ours only highlights the fact that theie musl be some. deep-seated and elusive fascination in our industry not visible to the ordinary eye. We have been chasing our tail for_long, long years in a steadily sinking margin of profit. We reached a low in 1957. The score isnl in for 1958 but there is no reason to believe from a backward look that the pattern will be broken.

Mind you, this is not the grocery business, also highly competitive but with l8 turnovers a year. Our average turnover was 4.82. We can't, don't want to, and are legally prevente4 from making the slightest move towards price iontrol. Through the Cost of Doing Business Surve we can pool the results of our joint experiences and obtain a comprehensive yardstick against which to measure the elements of our individual operations. The mere compiling of these fi_gures fo.r our own businesses may give us a tlearer picture than we have had heretofore. Again we want to emphasize the anonimity of the undertaking. The reports are lent to a reputable nationally known firm of accountants, and cannot be identified. If you have not already done so, we urge that you send in your reports. The possible benefits aie undeniable.

Talk about your long shots in the Sweepstakes. In February ,1956, the Grade-Marking Program wls just getting off the launching pad for an estimated six-months promotional and development period. g1 would have gotten you $50.00 that active pursuance would not have been needed 38 months hence. It has now been in orbit that length of time. The advantage and necessity for constant aggressive education and development has diminished very little. That it is a continuing benefaction to all legitimate producers, merchandisers and users of Construction Grades of lumber there can be little doubt. The cost of this is not budgeted in Association expense and is maintained by volunteeisup- port of Retail, Wholesale and Mill Factors.

Why Trqde Associotion Membership

Trade association membership is a measure of Character, because it shows a man's ability to get along well with others. Trade association membership is a measure of Intelligence in business methods because it is the most successful method now known to eliminate the destructive waste of competition. Trade association membership is a measure of Judgment, because it offers a choice between unnecessary individualism, now quite out-of-date, and cooperaiion, as a means of economical business growth.

Trade association membership is a test of Sportsmanship. The bad sport drinks always on the other fellow._ The good sport pays as he goes. The good sport declines to accept the benefits that come to his business through the cooperation of his fellow business men without paying his share. Trade association membership is a measure of Credit. Bankers lend readily to a business man who has enough standing in his industry to be entitled to association membership. Trade Association Membership is a measure of Protection. Bankers lend more readily to business men who distribute the risk of business' judgment.

Trade association membership is business Insurance. The free exchange of business information by a group engaged in the same business cuts out wasteful practices, avoids useless experiments, saves the high cost of using original ideas only. Trade association membership is a measure of the Soundness of the Industry

in February. For the most part the attendance was made up of the younger and rising generation of our industry. One is apt to think of such schools as dull and sawdusty but quite the opposite was true. Therein lies the spark that must keep our business in the vanguard of progress. We particularly mention it because of the enthusiastic and glowing reports of those who attended and we are anticipating a strong demand for the continuance of this very valuable feature.

As businessmen and citizens we are vitally interested in government at all levels-city, county, state and national. All business groups and associations are. Our Association is, but it has not been enough. No straight-thinking person can doubt the way we have been headed for many years. The left-wingers, unions, bureaucrats, do-gooders and spenders have taken over. \Me send telegrams, letters and protests through our groups. We are represented by the Chamber of Commerce, Lobbies and Trade Associations to which we contribute directly and indirectly but it has not been enough and will not bL enough to tu?n back the tide of radicalism that is engulfing us.

Unless and until we individually become aroused to the point of seeing red where there is red and get fight- ing mad about it, there is little hope. We need not worry about cost of doing business surveys, associations or anything else related to our business. There will be no business as we know it-OR FREEDOM. ft is incumbent on each and every one of us to be constantly aware and to make our family, friends and Government representatives aware that we know we are in the midst of a battle that can only be won by all of us getting in there and punching-all the time.

It is trite to say that an Association is only as good as its members make it. No individual or group of officers can pump blood into a listless, flaccid body. There must be the enthusiastic support of the membership. At one time it seemed almost a necessity that we have featured speakers (Continued on Page 52)

There is one thing left in this sadly disillusioned world concerning which no word of unkind criticism is ever spoken-no voice of condemnation ever raised. Yes, the American Red Cross. This organization appears to stand alone like unto the Rock of Ages itself, commanding the respect, deserving the esteem, and winning the praise of all mankind. You never hear even the mildest disparagement of the Red Cross and its work. Here all unkindly comment ends; human appreciation and approbation reach their zenith. Its worth is never questioned, its blessedness never denied. Never has the finger of suspicion pointed in its direction. Slander casts no evil thought in its direction. Mankind rises

and with one voice calls it good. Who is there so lacking in vision as to doubt that the finger of God Himself is upon this organization, protecting, ennobling it so that "the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it?"

We speak and write much about the great men of America, but not enough about our great women. And we have been bountifully blessed throughout our history with sublime characters of the so-called "weaker sex." In our early days, for instance, we had a president named John Quincy Adams. Students of history recall this fact without effort; many can recall his splendid worth. Yet few might remember that his wife was a far smarter, brighter character than John Quincy. Her name was Abigail. To a great extent she "hid her light under a bushel." She did not advertise. yet she was brilliant, wise, devoted. When her husband was inaugurated, she did not attend the ceremony but remained at home to shower him with her good thoughts. She sent him a letter that very day. Inspiration, indeed, is that letter of Abigail Adams to John Quincy. Here it is:

"My thoughts and my meditations are with you, though personally absent; and my petitions to heaven are that the things that make for peace may not be hidden from your eyes. My feelings are not those of pride or ostentation upon the occasion. They are solemni zed by a sense of the obligations, the important trusts, the numerous duties connected with it. That you may be enabled to discharge them with honor to yourself, with justice and impartiality to your country, and with satisfaction to this great people, shall be the daily prayer of Abigail Adams."

This lady is a splendid example of the many great women this nation has produced.

Napoleon, the man who has been credited with ,,revolutionizing the science of warfare," is frequently quoted by thinkers and writers. One of the remarks often credited to the "little corporal" is that "An army of sheep, commanded by a lion, could defeat an army of lions commanded by a sheep." No doubt Napoleon had himself in mind when he uttered that thought. Anyway, that was before his long trip back from Moscow, where he got so stout a taste of Russian air-conditioning. Mayb" lu'U changed his mind by then.

Climaxing six years of rapid growth as one of the West's largest manufacturers of solid and grid core doors, folding doors and sliding doors, California Wood Products, Inc., early this year moved to its new, completely modern plant in the Rohnert Industrial Park area near Santa Rosa, California. The Cal Wood plant is one of the first buildings to be completed in the huge industrial park located in this rapidly growing industrial area north of San Francisco Bay.

With almost 50,000 square feet of production area, the plant employs an average of 55 workmen and has a daily production capacity of 2500 completed units. Anticipating a continuing and growing demand for home and commercial buildings throughout the country, the new Cal Wood plant is designed.with knock-out wall panels to permit quick, easy expansion when the need arises.

NWP railroad spur track to the loading platforms and 101 State Freeway adjoining make possible better and faste-r shipping seryice to customers by ?ail or motor freight in all parts of the United States.

It's a trend-definitely. And the king-size, floor-to-ceiling door will be an increasingly important sales feature in new homes. The tip-off comes from a survey conducted at the NAHBMasonite Research House at Knoxville, Tenn. These tall doors won 77/6 of the votes from consurner visitors.

It's easy to see why:

1. Even smaller rooms seem more spacious.

2. Air circulation is improved. Rooms are easier to heat and air-condition.

3. Room planning is easier. The door becomes a decorative unit, not an awkward intermption in a wall.

Building is better, rnore econotnical, too.

No more framing-in above the door. Even in small homes the savings are substantial.

No weak spots above the door to cause annoying plaster cracks.

25,OOO,OOO U. S. Homes Will Be Obsolete by 1980, Holf of New Houses Need Repoir, DFPAnnuql ls Told

The problems and potentials of the fir plywood industry were examined at the recent annual meeting of the Douelas Fir Plywood Association in Gearhart, Oregon. Over -325 western plywood manufacturers were on hand for one of the best-attended DFPA meetings in years.

Highlights of the two-day gathering:

1. W. D. Page, executive director of Plywood Fabricators_ Service, Inc., announced his new orginization has already signed nine fabricators who will assemble box beams and stress skin panels under the PFS program.

2. Peter Hoguet, president of New-York's Econometric Institute, predicted plywood demand would reach 150 million square feet per week in the first half of 1960.

3. DFPA President A, W. Agnew outlined a striking contrast in the amount_ of money spent for research by the plywood industry and its competitors. Some induitries spend 33 times as much as plywood in this vital field.

4. P.I. Prentice, editor and publisher of House & Home magazine, told the plywood manufacturers that Americans are outgrowing their present houses at such a rate that 25 million homes will be obsolete by 1980, and half the new houses built in the U.S. will soon- be for the replacement market.

-5- G.ilbert -lVlorris, general manager and superintendent of building for the city of Los Angeles, told the DFpA members that plywood grade-trademarking backed by a responsible organization such as the DFPA is of vital importance to a building official.

W. E. _Difford, DFPA managing director, reported on the association's $4 million research, promotionj advertising, merchandising and quality control program, and how it helps hnd markets for the record 7 billion square feet of

will be produced this year. He noted that the first quarter of 1959 saw plywood sales set an all-time record, and that the industry has set a new sales record in each of the past fourteen years.

As an example. -gf thg way that DFPA is searching out new mar.kets, Difford introduced W. D. page, exeirtive vice-president of the new Plywood Fabricalors Service, fnc,, a DFPA subsidiary. Page described the progr.r. oi

the new service, and said PFS is providing quality control, engineering help, and promotional assistance to fabricators of "plywood components such as stressed skin panels and box beams.

The potential of PFS is best illustrated on the -early response to initial mailings and- field promotion calls. Pag.e siid that PFS is receiving a l2/o response to d direct-mail proqram aimed at fabricalors in Chicago, Boston, and DeiroiL Oppn field promotion representatives have followed up with calls on 1,634 fabricators in those three areas, and |,SZA of these expressed a definite interest in the PFS program. ^

"'We've only been in business for 90 days, and we are of[ to a fast start," said Page. "By fall, we hope to begin expanding the PFS program to other areas_of the-country." -

The Dppe manufacturers also heard Peter W. Hoguet, oresident of the Econometric Institute in New York, disiuss plywood's future. He predicted demand in the second half of -this year will be down slightly to about'140 million feet per we6k. He noted that two-thirds of the increase in plywbod demand is coming from new or expanded markets,

and only one-third from increased activity in construction. "This means the plywood industry must double its share of the construction dollar by 1970 if the industry expects to maintain its present rate of growth" said Hoguet.

Agnew, who was closing out his second term as DFPA president, said that while DFPA and the Forest Products Laboratory were doing a fine job with what they have, "They don't have anywhere near enough to do it with."

On the basis of cost of research as percent of sales, noted

Agnew, the average. for all industry is 33 times fir plywood; p-rrmary metals, 7 times as much; stone, clay, and-glass, 21 times as much. "Although the fir plywood industry,ihrougt ?{PA, is.outspending ihe entire llmber rnoustry rn terms ot tunds allocated to research; we are still spending a pain_ fully small. percent of our saies dollars comparedi" 6ih;, rnoustrres," sald Agnew.

,^ll 1,hard-hitting address, Editor prentice said that by 1980,.the^average family will have an income over $g,0od, and that 25 million families will be living in obsolete homes. "Already" he said, "the average famil! can afford ,r"uit, twice as good a house as it nori occupi6s. Before lo"s. h"ii the houses built in this country will b6 built for the re"place_ ment market.

"There is now a shortage of quality homes even g_reater !h,an the shortage of shelter-righi after the war. Here is a brand new malket opening up tor the housing industry-just as the old minimum-h6using market iE closing- down-a market for more new quility homes than all the houses, big or small, that ha:ve b6en built since 1946.

"This upgrading_of the market has the greatest possible consequences_ for the fir plywood industryl' said Frentice. He..warned that plywood-should step up iis promotion and selllng ettort, ln order. to capture its share of the booming housing market ahead.

The DFPA membership then heard some clear facts about plywood quality from Gilbert Morris, general manager and superintendent of building for the -City of Los Angeles.. Morris, who directs a staflof 1,000 peofle and is responsible for the safe construction of $600 mittion worth of buildings per year, said low-grade fir plywood in the marketplace_could destroy up to-50/o of piywood demand overnight. Morris_ cited the s-erious froblemi caused by occasional low-grade plyw99d, and said that an ".curitely and fronestly made material is the best way to promote new markets and continued use.

Morris commended the DFPA on its plywood Inspection program, and- said ,that construction oficials appreciated h-aving a. product which they could "rely upon to^do what the _specifications claim it can do." Cleir ilywood grade- marks are a must, he_said, because they cut-red tape 5n the job and inspire confidence in the product.

.Roland Remmel, president of tle National plywood Distributors Association, reported on his recent round-theworld trip. Boldly pr_edicting the day when the U.S. ply- woo-d industry would sell 20 billion feet of plywood ^ainually, the colorful Remmel said the plywood market potential over much of the world is "pracfically untouched."

Illustrating his point,-Remmel said, "I hive more ply- wood in my warehouse right now than Italy imports in bne vear."

-

Remmel accented the vital role which the warehouse jobber plays in plywood distribution. He said NPDA members have over one billion square feet of plywood in their present inventories.

One of the last sessions of the DFPA meeting featured a oanel discussion by members of the fir plywood Commerciil Standard Revision committee' Latty Lundquist of the International Paper Co. presented a report of recommended changes. and aslied for comments from the manufacturers. Electtion of offrcers climaxed the DFPA meeting' They were:

Where Do YOU Fit in This'Home of the Future'?

A preview of the "home of the future', and new ideas on how builders, architects and lumber manufacturers can work -together more effectively are contained in a report published July 1 by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

The report, a 187-page tr_anscript of a two-day Wood In- dustry Product Planning Conferince held in Washinston. contains more than a score of recommendations whichl according to leading architects and builders who participated would increase the use of wood in home constrirction.'

Most of the proposals call for lumber manufacturers to expand and accelerate their research in an efiort to:

1. fmprove present methods of component construction.

2. Hold down or reduce the on-site labor costs of builders.

3. Make available more pre-cut, pre-packaged and pre-finished wood items

4. Help builders to conserve materials through more precise engineering and use of the same inaterial for both structural and finish purposes.

Attended by 27 nationally-known figures in the fields of building, home design, lumber manuJacture and lumber distribution, the Wood Industry Product planning Conference was sponsored by the National Lumber Manrifacturers Association, the Timber Engineering Co., NLMA,s re_ search-engineering affiliate, and the l,lational Association of Home Builders.

The conference rvas-called by lumbermen to get the views of architects and builders on- how wood migit capture a greater share of the housing market. In this connection, builders, architects and otherJ familiar with the use of wood in home construction were asked for constructive criticism of the lumber industry and its present products.

Greater use of component parts was identified as one of the building industry's primary objectives for the 1960's, the decade when new home ionstruction is expected to break all existing records.

. One- build_er spokesman said he believes it possible, through an all-out effort on the part of builders and'building materials_producers, to reduce. liome building costs from thE present $10-per-square-foot and up, to apprdximately $5. The' consensus among architects ina buitders -as that wood has a "tremendous future,' in home building if the lumber industry will undertake the product re"sea-rch necessary to keep pace with competitive materials.

Voiced frequently at the conference was the recommendation that various elements of the wood industries cooperate to launch a mammoth _research program and set up a central Ho^using Research and Development Laboratory.

One function of the laboratory, panel members said, should be to develop technical slanilards for wood as a building material-an activity now conducted mainly by the federal government. Another purpose of the laboritorv would be to furnish architects and builders with complet'e technical information on all new developments conceriring wood.

A key proposal of the conference was that ,.some sort of master Tinker-Toy" system be developed so that wood parts could be fastened together into structural frames or panels by unskilled mechanics.

Architect-s participating in,the meeting called for greater emphasis of good design and special features that in'crease the livability and individuality of homes.

These factors, the architects contended, should be given ju* as much consideration as building costs.

One builder representative agreed-that the building in_

dustries should work more toward "good design in the mass market, instead of concentrating so much on the square foot cost attitude."

Other major recommendations of the conference called for early development of :

1. A standard wall framing system faster and more economical than conventional wood framing.

2. Structural wall panels which are insulated and finished on both sides.

Sculpture

There was a young sculptor named Phidias. Whose art was very insidious; He drew Aphrodite, without any nightie, Which greatly shocked the fastidious.

No Hurry

Sandy and Archie were sitting in a streetcar when a very pretty girl got on and smiled at Sandy. He tipped his hat. "Do you know her?" asked Archie. "Verra well," said Sandy. "\Mell then, let's go sit by her and you can introduce me." "Not so fast, laddie," whispered Sandy; "she has na paid her fare yet."

Ben Frqnklin on Hoppiness:

There are two ways of being happy. We may either diminish our wants, or augment our means, either will dothe result is the same; and it is for each man to decide for himself, and do that which happens to be the easiest. If you are idle, or slck, or poor; however hard it may be to diminish your wants, it will be harder to augment your means. If you are active and prosperous, or young and in good health, it will be easier for you to augment your means than to diminish your wants. But if you are wise, you will do both at the same time, young or old, rich or poor, sick or well; and if you are very wise you will do both in such a way as to augment the general happiness of society.

Typogrophicql Error

The following correction appeared in a small-town newspaper:

Kisses

Stephen kissed me in the Spring, Robin in the Fall; But Colin only looked at me And kissed me not at all.

Stephen's kiss was lost in Robin's lost in play; But the kiss in Colin's eye

Haunts me night and day.

"What's yourn?"

"Coffee and rolls, please."

One of those iron-heavy mugs of coffee was pushed over the counter to him. He looked surprised.

"'Where's the saucer?" he asked.

"'We don't use no saucers here, see? If we did, some lowbrow would come pilin' in here and drink out of his'n, and we'd lose some of our swellest trade. see?"

Teqm Work

It musta been a right smart horse

Who figgered out the proper course To keep his back shooed free of flies But not forget his ears and eyes.

You see, a horse's busy tail Is made to swish just like a flail, But though he whips it hard and rough, The darn thing ain't half long enough.

Hung way back upon the South, It just can't reach the pestered mouth; And fappin' ears and blinkin' eyes

Are plum' no count for scarin' fies.

Then one horse to another said, "I'll fip my tail across your head, For then your tail will work for me And free from flies we both shall be."

So there you have cooperation, Used by horses since creation; F'or human problems-small or greatIfse Florse Sense and Cooperate.

Good ond Bqd Times

Bad times are good times for the development of new ideas, improved methods, and new business. When things are slack, opportunity is afforded for work in the laboratory of the brain, and in the laboratory of the factory, and the research department is put on its mettle. Bad times are also good times to take a mental inventory of everything pertaining to one's business, to study the lesson experience should have taught, and to take a look into the future as far as our too-limited human intelligence will permit.

The visiting Hoo-Hoo dignitaries appeared at the request of President Moehnke, who, with Vice-President Iay Gamsby and Treasurer Harold Freedin, felt that association with Hoo-Hoo International would attract many new members to the Club as well as greatly enlarge the scope of activities and increase their interest and value to present members.

The club voted to adopt the name Humboldt Hoo-Hoo Club 63, but anticipates drawing members from adjacent lumbering communities in Mendocino, Del Norte and Trinity counties. President Moehnke announced the appointment of Art Milhaupt, Phil Dubaldie and Hank Jacobs as a committee of three to arrange chartering of the new club and the first Concatenation.

With the vote in favor of International affiliation, NCLC becomes California's newest Hoo-Hoo chapter, a worthy addition indeed. The NCLC has been functioning for many years as a social organization in the area and is well known throughout the industry as the sponsor of the annual Lumbermen's Stag Day and Golf Tournament, held in Eureka everv vear and attended bv as manv as 700 lumbermen. President Moehnke announied that there will be no change in this or othei traditional events sponsored by the nerv Humboldt Hoo-Hoo Club 63.

The latest government estimates indicate 426 billion board feet of sawtimber in the Douglas fir region, enough to build 40.5 million average size American homes.

8. Laminated materials stronger than plywood, with eco'nomy lumber as cores and finished lumber for Iaclng.

9. New structural and finish uses for wood oarticle board.

New acoustical applications of large wood panels. A more economical system of wood floor construction

for installation over crawl spaces, basements and first floors.

A new product combining both subfloor and finished flooring. A combination floor-ceiling panel for one-piece construction of ceiling and subfloor between two habitable levels.

Assembly-line methods to adapt custom designs and engineering to the mass housing market.

Pre-cutting and pre-packaging of studs in less than eight-foot lengths.

Further, the lumber industry was urged to develop, for the most popular length spans, pre-cut and pre-packaged roof trusses of standard design. These trusses, panel members said, should be grade-marked and certified as to the stress-grade of lumber used and the load-bearing capacity of each truss.

In addition, lumbermen were told they should pre-

finish many of the wood items used in home building, at least to the point of pre-priming.

Lumber representatives said most of these proposed innovations are well within the realm of possibility, provided builders are willing to help pay for the extra services involved.

Other highlights of the conference:

Panel members said the building industry looks to lumbermen for advanced engineering in wood, as well as for information on the handling and storage of lumber.

The biggest single-problem that exists between builders and lumbermen today is lack of communication between their respective industries, according to builder spokesmen.

Panel members urged that lumbermen leave their offices and talk directly to builders in the field to gain first-hand knowledge of their product needs.

The panel also proposed that the lumber industry consider sponsoring a "road show" to bring to architects and builders in every major city latest information on new uses for wood in home building.

Those who participated in the Wood Industry Product Planning Conference included : '

W. B. Dickman, builder, Mountain View, Calif.; Mortimer B. Doyle, executive vice-president, National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Washington; E,dward H. Fickett, architect, Los Angeles ; Paul H. Kirk, architect, Seattle; Herbert B. McKean, Potlatch Forests, Inc., Lewiston, Idaho; Robert J. Seidl, Simpson Timber Co., Seattle; Alan T. Smith, Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., Tacoma, Wash.; William G.

Steiner LumberCo. lo Locqfe New Socto lineyord of Pqlm-Roseville

Sacramento, Calif.-In an action late June 16, the County Planning Commission approved the application of thc Steiner Lumber Company to locate a branch yard at the southeast corner of Palm avenue and Roseville road here. George Steiner l-rad asked for light industrial zoning but the Commission clecided commercial zoning was sufficient to accommodate the new facility since there would be no milling done orr the site.

T1le dealer was told to erect a fetrce around the property to screen the auxiliary lumberyard from nearby homes.

In a similar action on the same date, the Commission doubled the size of arr industrial tract on Folsom boulevard to be used by the Pittsburgh-Des Nloines Steel Co., which plans eventually to use the site for processing steel products but not manufacturing. On the land at Bradshaw road and U.S. 50, 19 acres have been zoned industrial for nearly a year, and the June 16 action approved industrializatiorr of another 18 acres to the east.

High for 1959 Exposition

Programs with the accent on "action," new attendance promotion plans, and broadened exhibitor participation rvere major topics in a three-pronged progress report on the 1959 Building Products Exposition at the annual Spring rneeting of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association's board of directors in Washington, May 12 and 13. Exposition General Chairman Oertell Collins of Savannal.r, Georgia, presented the report.

Program Chairman William Stine of Bryan, Ol-rio, told directors that managing officers of several of the federated associations had acceoted the Committee's invitations to cooperate in Exposition programming and will again serve as Program managers for business meetings of the lumber dealers'6th annual show to be held in Cleveland, November 14-17. Subjects for dealer management meetings, he said, rvere selected following a survey of dealers who attended tl-re Chicago Exposition last November and are in line with the preferences indicated by that study. Sessions planned for the NRLDA Exposition in Cleveland will deal with a broad range of industry problems from employee training programs to dealer building activities and financing.

Attendanee Chairman Robert T. McCutchan of Lebanon. Lrdiana, urged directors to throw the full weight of their considerable local and state influence behind the drive to bring another record-breaking dealer attendance to the NRTDA Cleveland show. Mentioned briefly among new attendance promotion plans for 1959 were prizes for the most effective promotions by managing officers of NRLDA's 33 federated associations and attendance and floor prizes for registered dealers at the show.

Exposition Director Martin C. Dwyer reported that exhibitor enthusiasm is at its highest peak in the 6-year history of the NRLDA Exposition. In area of booth space sold, number of participating exhibitors, and revenue, Dwyer said, the NRLDA Exposition is far ahead of any previous year as of a comparable date.

Chairman Collins' report pointed out that NRLDA's "Products in Action" programs, in which many of the exhibitors participate, set this Exposition apart from other national shows in the industry. Action programs for the 9leveland show, according to present plans, will include Materials-Handling demonstrations, a demonstration ware-

house showing storage and handling methods, a dramatic house-a-day component building demonstration on the exhibit floor, a full-scale completely finished Lu-Re-Co home outside the hall built in cooperation with Parents magazine, home-improvement, package-selling demonstrations, a fu11scale unexcavated swimming pool for dealer merchandising -complete with bathing beauties-and a number of other features still in the development stage.

The National Building Material Distributors Association's 16th semi-annual convention held at Denver, Colorado, early in May had the la rado, the largest Spring Convention attendance ever recorded, according to Don Knecht. presi- tendance Knecht, president. There were 379 persons at the banquet culminaiing a two-day business program which brought rng hole- fwo-day which brought together wholesale distributors and representatives of manufacturers from all sections of the countrv. Seventv-six wives were also present. '

Tfre first day's activities were devoted to work sessions among the distributors and included four Business Clinics at which attendance was.grouped accgrding to annual dollar sales of members. Subjects encompassing Warehousing

Management-Inventory Control-Salesmen's Compensa- tion-Sales Promotion Procedures-Office Proceduresand New Products were discussed.

The afternoon session the first day summarized the Business clinic discussions which was- followed bv two outstanding speakers H. R. Smethills of Small Business Administration who discussed "SBA-What It Is, What It Does," and Professor Irwin Cochrun, director of the Bureau of Business Administration, IJniversity of Illinois, who talked on "Managerial Wheel-spinning."

Don Knecht, who chairmanned the business meeting, stated that NBMDA's growth was continuing and that total sales of members in 1958 amounted to over $850 million.

A Manufacturer-Distributor get-acquainted party concluded the first day's activities.

Two outstanding panel discussions featured the second day's program; the first, "Component Sections-What's Ahead," was moderated by Francis W. Brown and included as panelists: Architect-W. Stephan Allen of San Francisco, California; Builder-John Bonforte of Colorado Springs, Colorado; Dealer-Morris Tarte, Columbia Valley Lumber Company, Bellingham, Washington; Distribu- tor-Claude Briggs of Monarch Lumber Company, Great Falls, Montana ; Manufacturers-Paul Shoemaker, Masonite Corporation, Chicago, Illinois, and H. Mattlin, Anderson Corporation, Bayport, Minnesota.

On this panel, Paul Shoemaker stated: "I believe the component trend is an economical must of a value that gives our distribution system, i.e., the manufacturer, jobber, dealer, to the builder-a chance to compete with the manufacturer of homes in the industrial plan^t. It also gives them a chance to position the one-to fifty-home builder to compete with the prefab or the large builder. It is not only the saving of high cost job labor and the step-up of time for completion that is a factor here in economy, but bear in mind in the 1960's ahead we actuallv will not have the iob labor we will need to build the hou#s which will be in demand, and so I see components coming into their own in greater volume in the years ahead."

The second panel, "Changing Markets-Changing Ideas," a discussion on distribution trends, was moderated by Clarence D. Stone of Elliott Bay Lumber Co., Seattle, Washington. Participants were-For the Manufacturer: Lloyd Fry, Jr., of Lloyd Fry Roofing Company, Summit, Illinois and Frank Kreider of Curtis Companies, Inc. at Clinton, Iowa; For the Distributor: H. H. Gottschall of MorrisonMerrill & Co. of Salt Lake City, Utah, and Jay W. Lindsey of Consolidated Lumber & Supply Co., Denver, Colorado. Craig W.

First, the product is not sufficiently exciting and, second, it is not presented in a sufficiently exciting manner I believe there are two reasons why we don't produce a newer, more exciting housing product. First, there is too little basic research devoted to providing a fundamentally better house and, second, whenever anyone does come up with new ideas and improvements, all too often we make up our minds they're no good until their success makes it impossible to ignore them any longer."

"Predicting Success in Sales Personnel" was discussed by Dr. D. W. Merrill of Denver, an industrial psychologist, and the final talk was given by Charles B. Roth of Denver, who spoke on "Secrets of Closing Sales."

An optional third morning session for the distributors,

34 Warehouses Added to Membership

As a result of the NBMDA Spring Convention held early in May in Denver, the Association has added 34 warehonses to its fast growing membership list, accordir.rg to President Don Kr.recl-rt. He stated that these new rvarehouses will adcl well over $50 million in annual sales and will bring total sales of NBX{DA members to over $900 million. He further

stated that this represents approximately t2/o of the light construction materials sold to the retail lumber dealer.

He also stated that NBMDA in 1959 was aggressively promoting the Manufacturer-Distributor Advisory Councils and Distributor-Dealer Advisory Councils rvhereby selected personnel in each category would meet periodically to discuss ways and means of cooperating in order to develop better communications between the three segments of the distribution team.

Through NBMDA's efforts, 15 national manufacturers have held meetings with their wl.rolesale distributors and approximately 30 NBMDA members have held meetirrgs with their dealers.

The point is that it was brought about by the active participation of the members with speeches barred. We, therefore, want to urge that you make such occasions almost a Must on your calendar so that we will further improve the value of our group. Our meetings generally have been quite wellattended. With the new set of officers coming up, let's send them off to a soul-warming start with banner turnouts.

Though your new Administration will not be officially installed until April 10th, I want to take this occasion to personally express the thanks and appreciation of myself

and fellow officers for the help and friendship shown by the organization th.ruout. There are certain onel in our Group who for years have been the old reliables and workhorses, the benefit of whose time, experience and advice have been of inestimable value to the Association. There are some Committees, the Grades Committee for example, who spend endless hours working in our behalf, unher:alded and unrewarded. For fear of slight I will not attempt to mention the names of the many who deserve our deep gratitude. The mainspring that keeps the whole works moving and ticking is, of course, our Association Office under the masterful guidance and direction of Orrie Hamilton with his staff of co-workers. We indeed have an organization of which w_e can b9 proud, and again I want to siy a heartfelt Thank You and Good Luck.

United Stotes Plywood Corp. R.eports Annuql Sqles Up 17.5o/o

United States Plywood Corporation reports annual sales at a record high-$238,738,000 for the fiscal year ended {lril 30, 1959, as compared with $203,242,000 last year. Net earnings for thg year were $13,430,100 after estimated taxes of $10,517,500. In the preceding fiscal year, earnings were $5,378,900 after estimated taxes of $4,019,700.

Sales and dollar earnings after taxes for the final quarter of the year set a record for any quarter in the company's history. Sales for the quarter ended April 30, 1959, were $66,938,000, compared with $48,826,000 in the equivalent three mo_nths period last year. Net earnings for the quarter were $3,561,100, after estimated income taxes $3,822,000.

S. W. Antoville, chairman of the board, stated that although there had been a weakening in the fir plywood market, the company's prospects for the current year are good and the sales for the month of May 1959 were substantially in excess of the sales for the same month a year ago.

Mr. Antoville said, "The proposed acquisition of the Booth-Kelly properties, subject to its stbckholders' ap- proval, will approximately double our ownership of valuable timber resources on the West Coast and will make a vital contribution to the profitable expansion of our business and to the life of our operations in Oregon."

SCRTA Grode Commitfee Problems

(Continued from Page 2) calls from dealers asking him for information as to the areas where White Fir and Redwood Studs, Sheathing, etc., will be accepted by the building departments. This takes a lot of Erik's time and yet someone must be in a position to answer their questions. Some time back we did some work on a chart giving this information which we had hoped to distribute to all of the dealers. This way they wouldn't have to call Erik every time they had questions about the grades and species they could ship into the different areas. After we got it pretty well along, we decided against using it because, while in some areas they would accept certain grades, others wouldn't, and we thought it might be too confusing and get some dealers in trouble.

Another thing that bothers us quite a bit is the lack of cooperation on the part of retailers. A good example of this is that in a neighboring city the building department issued a bulletin to the effect that Utility grade lumber would not be tolerated in that city for roof sheathing or subflooring. This has now been corrected. The fact still remains that not one lumber yard in the area notified Erik of what had happened. He had to hear it from the wholesale representative of the Grading Rules Committee.

We all know this shouldn't happen ! Every so often a building department official will take it upon himself to issue a bulletin like this, and you can't expect Erik to do any- thing unless he knows about it. Information should come from a retail yard and as quickly as possible. I imagine some of the yards in that area knew about it the day it came out, but it was a tveek or two later before Erik knew of it.

There is still lots of work to be done. We are going to ask West Coast Lumber Bureau, WPA, CRA and all of the.other agencies to furnish our Association with printed copies of the accepted grade stamps so that they can be mailed to the lumber yards as well as the various building departments for use by their inspectors. This will enablE f_.- _t9 ide-ntify any bootleg stamps that appear on jobs. The chief of the Orange County nuitding Department, Mr. Donahue, asked us at a recent meeting foi such information, and also wondered why we weren't getting more publicity in the trade journals regarding bootleg stamps. They need and want any information we can give them that will be helpful.

As you may know, there have been grading schools con-

ducted by Carl Ramstrom of WCLB and which were promoted by Erik. These schools have been conducted in lumber yards from Santa Barbara to Indio for the purpose of educating lumber yard employees and the building inspectors in the areas. I know the building inspectors appreciate this effort-possibly more than the employees of the lumber yards.

If you will cooperate, wholesalers and retailers alike -and have faith in the grading program-many of the problems facing us will be solved in the months ahead. We need your cooperation-financially and morally- to keep this necessary program active as it has been for the past five years.

Your Association has had Erik on the payroll for quite some time-three years to be exact-trouble-shooting when necessary for you fellows who have had problems with the building departments. He has had a tough job trying to keep everyone happy. He has done a good job and we will need him for some time to come. I would like to have all of you pitch in and do your part-this is your program and we must keep it going. We can do it with the help of each and every one of you.

TECO to Reorient Reseorch Activities

Recognizing changes in the research market which have become increasingly apparent in the last several years, and anticipating new opportunities and greater need for technical services in fields independent of actual laboratory operations, the Timber Engineering Company, affiliate of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, will reorient its activities in the'coming months to better serve the lumber and wood products industry. The change in emphasis will feature TECO services already well established in quality control and in administering and spearheading industry-supported technical programs on data development.

The change is a further step along the course chartered by the Board in 1958 to direct TECO efforts toward testing and quality control and toward the mass lumber markets, such as construction, as distinguished from basic research.

Concluding 16 years of operation, the Washington phase of the Timber Engineering Company laboratory operations will cease this winter. Meeting in Atlantic City June 3, the TECO board of directors decreed that the interests of both TECO and the lumber industry would best be served by discontinuing the Washington laboratory and directing TECO efforts to other phases of technical work.

Chairman of TECO's Board and President. Mortimer B. Doyle, noted that the laboratory had "played a very significant part in solving problems for both industry and government, and in establishing research as a valuable tool for the wood industry, just as in other fields."

Plywood quality control and testing work by TECO laboratory men in the Northwest will continue and the existing Western facilities will be augmented to better serve present and future clients.

William H. Scheick, vice-president, continues in charge of TECO technical activities and will chart the direction TECO efforts take in continuing to serve the lumber industry which founded the company through NLMA. The action by the Board on the laboratory in no way affects TECO's engineering and products sales activities, which continue under the direction of Ralph H. Gloss, vicepresident.

Douglos Fir Plywood Associqtion Revises Grode-Trudemorks

The familiar DFPA grade- marks trademarks have been re- building vised, to simplify identifica- tification tion of plywood manufactured by the association's member mills.

Just prior to the plywood industry's annual meeting early last month, the Douglas Fir Plywood Association announced revisions in the grade-trademarks that appear on the plywood products manufactured in accordance with the association's quality-control program. A booklet illustrating the new stamps has just been issued.

The revisions were made in the interests of legibility, uniformitv. and to make identificafion easier for the user. However, both old and new DFPA grade-trade-

PIYFt|NM

satisfy FHA and code plywood idenrequirements.

Letters of the new back stamps are in general a good deal larger than those of the old, making panels easier to identify from a. distance.

A uniform shape for back stamps has been adopted. This is a rectangle, threeand-a-half by two inches, which boxes in the identify- ing letters. The words "DFPA Tested Quality" are in a dotted circle ofi the lower right corner. Former back stamps were in a wide variety of shapes, including circles, ovals, squares, and diamonds. Thanks to the uniform shape of the new stamps, DFPA-tested ply-

New grade-trademarks have uniform size and shape, make identification easier.

Outside the box, besides the circled "DFPA Tested Quality," the mill number is imprinted, and the appro- priate U.S. Commercial Standard governing manufacture.

Only minor changes have been made in edge marks.

wood will be readily identifiable.

Each stamp presents the following information within the box: grade-tradename of the panel (such as PlyForm, PlyScord, etc., if it bears such a name) ; type

The booklet, "New DFPA Grade-Trademarks," contains full- or half-size facsimiles of all back stamps and edge marks. It will be a handy reference for builders, dealers, building code officials, and others whose work requires familiarity with DFPA grade - trademarks. Sample copies are available without charge from Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma 2, Washington.

(Continued from Page 14) fantry company made up entirely of Texans and stationed in Africa, told his men: "One of our jobs here is to promote goodwill and friendship between our country and these natives. So we must remember to humor them, no matter what they say. For instance, if they say that Africa is bigger than Texas, don't make them mad by telling them the truth; agree with them."

One of the most ,ar.igitr-ti"a lrrrorrg all our great early Americans was Thomas Jefferson. He was noted for his purity of character. He never used profanity and deplored its use. fle never played cards nor allowed card-playing in his home. He hated liquor and was so prejudiced against it that he refused to take it as a stimulant, prescribed by his doctor, when he *". Ut,lt.

A Britisher in London was asked to describe the difference between the bearing and attitude of the American "G.f Joe" and the British "Tommie." He said: "The British 'Tommie' walks into a place as though he owned it; the American 'G.I.'walks into a place as though he didn't give a cuss who owned it."

Andrew Johnson, the vice-president whg succeeded to the Presidency when Lincoln was assassinated, was like Lin-

coln in that he was always proud of his humble origin. Once in the United States Senate, he was reminded rather sarcastically that he was a man of the people. Johnson replied: "Sir, I do not forget that I am a mechanic. Neither do I forget that Adam was a tailor who sewed fig leaves, or that our Saviour was the son of a carpenter."
