NCLC Votes Affiliorion Wirh Internofionol by Overwhelming Moiority ond Stqrts New Activity os Humboldt Hoo-Hoo 63

With the issue of whether to affiliate their club with the International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo as the main business, the general membership of the Northwestern California Lumbermen's Club met the evening of June 19 at the Eureka Inn to decide the question. NCLC President Tobe Moehnke, of Brightwood Lumber Co., presided over the big attendance.

After hearing a stirring talk by Supreme Nine Custocatian Jack S. Berry on the history and purposes of Hoo-Hoo, and an explanation from Northern California Deputy State Snark Hugh Pessner of the mechanics of organization, the members voted overwhelmingly in favor of affiliation.

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.
