I.umber.Compaly's good looking store, operated srnce last year by the parent :ompal)r, Fisher Lumber Compiny of Santa I\{onica.

LgT_b"r, under manager H. P. "Bud" Walling, operates as a complete building matlrial center with hardvuare and housewares, and prides itself as being stocked with everythins from.2x4's to pots and pans. Eveh chill drelr's toys and cookbooks are dis_ played in the big hardware section.

Though they get the famous of the area, most of the store's high floor traffrc is a cross section of peofle from fuIalibu Lumber's 2l-mile iadius trade

area, who come into the store's pacific Coast Highway location at Malibu Beach.

A complete building materials center is no idle boast here. A partial list includes: concrete blocks, wire mesh, cement, sand, reinforcing steel, red brick, plumbing suppli6s, threaded stocks and machine bolts, a complete Iine of lumber, Orangeburg and 6ther pipe, metal mouldings, hardwood panel- ing, wood siding,- fiberglass panels, hand and power tools, paints (even custom mixed), electrical hxtures. cabinets and locks and keys. And when you're finished with thbse they have gardening srrpplies and artist's -paints.

The spacious yard in the rear of the iour-acre lot has a full inventory of Iumber, three trucks, two new fork- Iifts, and a loader in their roster of equipment to effect delivery of orders called into the office. Neweit vard feature is an 8,000 sq. ft. shed thai houses, among other things, Marine hardwood for the boat builders in the area.

The lmpact of the Common Market on fhe U. S. Economy

An oddress by Secretary ol Commerce Lvther H.

Hodges

Gteensleye-,fi]lantg,, Georgia,

fo fhe 29th snnuol ol the Federal Home Losn Eonk oJ

Tiere has grown up around the banking profession a public imabe of the banker as a prudent but very"con- servative felbw. This, I think, ij justi_ fied-and happily so. We all 'take comfort from the knowledge that the banke.rs- handling our money are responsible and cautious.

_

But there is another side to bankins. and that is its role in buildins a dinamic economy. It is to this iopic 6f gror,r,'th that I would like to address myself.

The United States needs to accelerate its economic growth if it is to sustain prosperity, attain full employ- ment and restore equilibrium to iis iir_ ternational accounts.

To this end, the Administration has taken steps.to encourage investment in capltal equlpment through revision of depreciation schedules f6r machinerv. and has proposed tax credits for iii vestment in new equipment.

Technical and finLncial aid has been made available to areas of long-term unemployment. A Federal retriinine program has been started for workerl displaced by automation or structural changes in the economy. public works fun{s -have been proposed for areas hard-hit by unemployment.

Actions su,ch as these have heloed. and will continue to help, our."ono-r, grow stronger. Gross nitional produci in the first quarter of this year stood at a record annual rate of $5+9 biltion; fourth quarter corporate profits before taxes were the highest ever at an an_ nual rate of 52.4 -billion; personal income, retail sales and the industrial production index in March were all at record highs.

Set Goals High

But these figures, imprissive as they are, are below our targets. We can and must do more if we are to realize our potential as a nation, if we are to bring unemployment down to a tolerabl-e level and generate and maintain for all of our people the standard of living that only some enioy todav.

In this sense, we would be-foolish. indeed, if we were to follow old preju- dices-to see our econo,my oniv'in domestic terms, and ignorl the tremendous opportunities -offered us by international trade. Overseas markets can provide a boost to our economy that we ,cannot overlook.

As the result o,f two world wars. we have come to realize that we are polit- ical neighbors with the rest of the

world. We have reached the point today where we must face up to 6eine neighbors economically as w-ell.

This poses problems in that it puts every country in competition with us; it poses opportunities in that it makes every nation our market. fn at least one ins'tance-that of the Common I\{arket-it offers us a lesson in how ]ve ca,n respond with profit to this enlarged world of international trade.

The six countries of the European Economic Community faced the same problem that we do todav-how to derive the most benefit from foreisn trade with the least damage to domeltic industries.

. They are not only solving that prob- lem,-but racking up tremendous economic growth., and forging ahead to Decome one ot our strongest competi- tors.

Common Market Meaning

Therefor.e, I would like to address myself_ today principally to t&e Common Market, how if hai accomplished what it has, and what it means- to the economy of the United States.

In the late 1940s the countries of Europe were faced with the task of rebuilding their economies on the ruins of World War II. They had to decide whether to r,eturn to thl aggres- sive nationalism that had marked-Iheir previous histories and the disastrous conse-quences that had always fol_ lowed, or follow a path of cooperation and mutual helo.

With the financial aid of the United States through the Marshall plan and its offshoot, the Orsanization for European Economic Cooperation. Eurooe started on the road -to r.co.rerrr. tn 1950 the European Coal and -Steel Community was formed, and the big step toward Euratom-the Europeai Energy Commission-and the eommon l\4arket was taken.

Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, France, Italy, and Germanv faced difficulties thai five years beforl rvould have been called insurmountable. There were ancient political animosities-especially between France and Germ'any. There were economic rivalries that had existed for centuries. There were the well established tarifi walls, quotas, discriminatory freight rates, customs, and passport barriers that were seemingly totally ingrained in each country's national fiber.

France was- fearful that its high overtime pay schedules and policy of

equal wages for women would be threatened by lower pay scales of the other countries.

-ftaly, which was trying to catch up with the others in industrializatiory feared its efforts would be jeopardlzed by the superior machine! of the \rermanS.

West Germany supported a high- cost agricultural establishment and was fearful of low-cost French and Dutch produce.

The Benelux nations wanted raw materials and semi-finished manufactures at low world market prices.

f wonder if any of these traditional fears sound famiiiar to you ? Thev do to me,,because they are precisely the type of arguments -I've h'eard here in the United States against the President's trade bill, whiih is designed to open world markets to us. But I'm happy to report that we hear less of this now than some months ago.

The Europeans set up mJchinerv with which ihey hoped 'to deal witir these problems, ind ri'hich they needed t9 g"t the necessary support for the Common Market.

_ Bgt a strange thing happened- hardly any of the terriblJconsiquences that were anticipated by some-as the result of this new free irade have yet to develop. Instead. what did deveiop was a business boom of a\,l'esome pro- portions.

A feu'figures at this point will show you the extent to which Western Europe's economv has prosp,ered under the spur of increasingly liberal trade.

-The average gross national product of the Common Market in the period l95B through 1961 increased at a rate of 5.7 percent a year. The average an- nual rate of increase for industrial products for this period was 8.9 percent.

By comparison, the gross national product, in constant dollars, of the United States for the same period grew at an annual rate of less than 3 percent.

Trade Doubles

Trade within the Common Market which was 6.9 billion in 1958. had nearly doubled to g11.9 billion in.1961. Both exports and imports grew from around $16 billion to more than $20 billion.

During this period the ECC countries removed all quota restrictions o.n industrial goods moving within the market, eight years ahead of schedule.

HAYWARD, CATIFOR]IIA

Customs duties on industrial Eoods have already been reduced 40 peircent and are scheduled to drop ano?her 10 percent on July l, two and a half years ahead of schedule. There are -difficulties posed by agricultural products. but duties have alieady been reduced by 30 to 35 percent and are expected to be cut further by the middle bt ttre year.

Dr. Walter Hallstein, pres,ident of the EEC Commission pointed out the moral very well when h-e said in Wash- ington last month, "th,e Common lVlarket tech-nique of progressively reducing tariffs has provedto be an ex- cltlng new economic catalyst. It is revoking decisions to become competi- tive, to expand and to moderni2edecisions that otherwise might not have been taken."

\&'e can be proud of the role we have played in assisting and encouraedns the development oflhis great econdmii power of the Common-Market. Now that it has acquired stature, the countries of the free world must deal with the next challenge, which is that of a close and practical economic relationship.

Free Flow Important

For just as the free flow of goods was important to the growth of Western Europe economy, so it is important to the strength of the Free World.

Trade policies are determined gen- erally by economic considerations,"but political factors must b,e considered on many occasions,

For instance, in the IJ.S. we must finance our military and aid commitments-so vital to the defense of the free world-from our export surplus.

Last.year our export surp'lus .*..Ld.d .$5 billion. but more than $Z billion of this was financed from aid funds. leaving a balance of about $3 billion. This \\'as not enough to cover our overseas commitments and the flow of shortterm capital,_ so that for the year we ran nearly $2.5 billion short in our international accounts.

While this was a marked improve- ment over the deficit of $3.9 billion we ran in 1960, it, nevertheless. cost us a sizable amount of gold. And big as our golcl reserves are, they are not inex_ haustible. We cannot protect the dolIar indefinitely by drawing upon them. The only real safeguard iJto'bring our lnternatronal accounts into a oosition u,-here averag'e-equilibrium will'be pos- sible. As bankeis you would agree q'ith this, f am sure.

One way to do this would be to reduce our military and aid assistance to our friends and allies. But this. inevitably, would divide and sap the strensth of the free world's opposition to ihe Communist offensive. - Another way would be to limit imports-but this would only invite similar action from other nations and cut us ofi from manv profitable markets. It could also limit

sev.erely the imports of strategic matenals, and many materials essential to the full functioning of our domestic industrv.

In terms of remedies strong enouEh to cure, the chief solution tJour bilance of pa5rments problem lies in an accelerating export program.

Goal Set

The National Export Expansion Council, which is working with the Department of Commerce -to increase overs€as sales has set a goal of a $2 billion increase in exports-of the next 12 months. Had we such an increase last year, our larger trade surDlus would have absorbed most of our pay- ments deficit.

Now where can we look for expanded markets for American products? Except for the Sino-Soviet-bloc, you can swfep the globe, but certainly no_ market has a greater potential than Western Europe.

_ Of qur total exports in 1960, more than 25 percent-more than $5 billion -we.nt to present and prospective members of the Common Markit. Our imports from these countries totalled 3l billion.

Thus we earned about gll billion from these, or abo.ut half ihi-amount of our dollar earnings on our trade surplus. But think of the possibilities for expansion in these couitries !

fncome Rising

. European incomes are rising-creat- lng an enormous potential demand for all rypes of goods. The people of the Common Market have only-23 radios for every 100 persons. We have 95 oer 100. The Common Market has six'refrigerators for every 100 persons. We have 28. They have six washing machines per 100. We have 27.

We excel in the production of consumer durables, and we can share in the growth of this market through exports. We can also produce the iquiD- ment for the manufacture of tieie goods in Europe.

Here then is a wonderful opportu- nity for expansion. Here is j prime area where an acceleration of our marketing efforts would go far toward alleviating the pressures of our balance of payments deficit.

But it would do much more than that. As I pointed out earlier, increased foreign trade would go far toward. imparting added vigor io our oomestrc economv.

The Bureau of Lbor Statistics estimates that 3.1 million iobs were required in exporting g20'billion worth of merchandise in 1960. Our Southeast shared in this. In the seven states in w'hich your bank operates-Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North and South Carolin-a, and Virginia, plus the District of Columbia-the value of goo{s- ma_nufactured for export exceeded 91.5 billion in 1!b0. Thit was l0

percent of the country's total exports of manufactured products for that year. Plants engaged in manufacturing for export in this area employed more than 380,000 workers.

And the Southeast shared, and shared handsomely in agricultural exports.

In the fiscal year that ended last June the U.S. shipped overseas a rec- ord $4.9 billion of farm products, which were roughly one-quarter of all our exports, not counting Defense Department shipments.

Your area's proportion o,f farm prod- ucts for exports has been estimated by the Department of Agriculture at nearly $652 million, or 13 percent of the total. '

Agriculture Subsidized

I would like to point out, however, that of our $5 billion farm exports. about g1.5 billion went abroad irndei special government programs, notably Food for Peace. And another $1.3 bil- lion was subsidized bv the Government, through export payments or through loans or sales to private exporters at below market prices. All told, about 60 percent of our agricul- tural exports in 19ffi-61 was subsidized in one way o,r another.

But more than 50 percent of our hard cash agricultural sales-92 billion worth of farm productswent to countries that are Common Market members or potential members. More than $l.l billion lvent to the current Six, and by comparison, these countries shipped less than one-fifth of this amount in agricultural products to the U.S.

All of this was accomplished under outmoded trade legislation and without a concerted effort in the export field. Think of the opportunitieJ that lie ahead ! We can seize these opportunities, however, only if we can negotiate reasonable tariff arrangemen[s. As the Common Market's iniernal trade walls crumble, a common external tariff wall is being built This zero internal tariff puts our manufacturers at a great disadvantage.

Let me give you a couple of hard illustrationJ of iust whai it would mean:

Before the Common Market was established, American, French and ltalian cars of comparable size could be exported to Germany on an equal basis -paying.' a duty of 2l per cent. Today, the tariff on French and Italian cais exported to Germany-the internal Common Market tarifi-is 12.5 percent. The exiernal tariff on American cars is now 23.2 percent. As a result of our negotirations in Geneva, this is due to drop to 22 percent. The Common Market internal tariff, however, will eventually shrink to zero.

In order to put Southern California dealers "front row center" with a leading source for redwood lumber products, including factory sealed (Wood- life treated) redwood siding, ridwood panels and other important items, Harry A. Merlo, Vice President and General Manager of Rockport Redwood Company, Cloverdale, California,

Rockport Redwood Names Ed Fountain Exclusive

our redwood octivities.,,

has appointed Ed Fountain Lumber Company, Los Angeles as exclusive distributor for the area.

L. A. Distributor

In making the announcement Merlo said, "'We have long needed an organization in Southern California which is intimately aware of the construction situation in the area and is able to anticipate dealer needs for rapid delivery of our redwood products at competitive prices. Fountain's anticipatory demand system keeps lumber rolling at all times by ship, rail and truck. In addition to direct teletvpe contact with us at the mill, many unique lumber handling and processing iacilities will make it possible for dealers to pick up a variety of items on short notice at Fountain's Los Angeles distribution yard."

Merlo continued, "With this agreement, Fountain renews its long-stand- ing reputation for being a leading supplier of redwood in Southern California.

The convenience and close location to major freeways, an extensive line of lumber specialties, plus Lam-Lo,c Timber and Lam-Loc Pecky Cedar make Fountain an excellent 'one-stop source for the dealer. Fountain sales'men also bring to the dealer broad backgrounds in wood technology, several with special training in construction, lumber production and handling, and retail operation.

"Ed Fountain L,umber Company has

always been a good member of the lumber community. They have consistently participated in active lumber promotion with architects, builders and the general public. At the same time, Fountain maintains a policy of selling exclusively through lumber dealers with every product they distribute or manufacture.

We're sure the dealers who look to Rockport Redwood for high quality products will find this new arrange- ment extremely desirable," Merlo stated.

Total imports of Hardwood Forest Products-logs, lumber, plywood and veneer-showed a slight increase in volume during 1961, according to figures compiled by the Philippine Mahogany Association, South Pasadena, California, from United States Department of Commerce figures.

The increase in the volume of imports, as compared with 1960 figures, was about two percent, although there was a decrease in the FOB overseas value of all hardwood products of about eight percent.

Two major categories showed a decrease in volume. Hardwood log imports during the year decreased nearly 40 percent while Hardwood lumber imports showed a net decrease of about 15 percent. The other two major categories of hardwood imports, plywood and veneer, showed an increase in volume of 5 percent and 6 percent respectively.

The largest increase in a key Hardwood import item was Philippine Mahogany plywood which showed a gain of 11 percent over the volume for the preceding year.

The Philippine Mahogany Association pointed out that a detailed analysis of the import figures shows that 51 percent of the total volume of the four major categories was Philippine Mahogany. Excluding imports of Canadian hardwoods, Philippine Mahogany accounted lor 75 percent of the total volume of hardwood logs, lumber, plywood and veneer imported into the United States.

The nearly 83 million board feet of Philippine Mahogany logs and sawn lumber received in the United States during 1961 represented 44 percent of all hardwood lumber and log imports, excluding imports from Canada. The over 1 billion surface feet of Philippine Mahogany plywood and veneer accounted for 78 percent of the veneer and plywood imports from countries other than Canada.

Dee Essley Active In Community Work

First issue of "Your Hospital," monphly news magazine o_f the Presbyterian Intercbmmunity Hospital, Wh"ittier, California, has reached our hands, and we iall your attention to it because it represents another project initiated by Dee C. Essley, chairman of the hospital's Board of Directors and prominent lumberman.

- D,.. lssley was closely identified with the hospital's fund-raising activities during the past two years, and had much to do with the successful establishment of this large and modern hospital in the Whittier area.

Dee has long been known for his interest and activity in community and charitable projects ; at the same time he has

A man who was traveling in the mountains of Tennessee, stopped at a cabin and asked for a drink of water. An old woman brought it to him, and after drinking he had quite a talk with her, telling her great stories about his travels, and the wonders he had seen in various parts of the world. Finally he stopped to take a breath, and the old woman took her pipe out of her mouth and said:

"Stranger, if I knowed as much as you do I'd go som'ere and start a little grocery."

"When f was in the mercantile business," said the rich and retired store-keeper in a Southern city to a young man in the same line of business, "I made it a rule never to demand that a gentleman pay up."

"But," answered the puzzled younger man, "what on earth did you do when a gentleman failed to pay, as now and then they must have done?"

"Oh, in that case," replied the older man, "f decided the fellow was not a gentleman, and demanded my money."

The lmpoct Of The Common Morket

(Continueil from Page 6)

Take another example. Before the Common Market, U.S. and Italian manufacturers of radio and television transrnitters and receivers paid the same tariff rates on their shipments to West Germany-charges ranging from 72 to 75 percent on the various items within this particular tariff category.

Now, with a 40 percent reduition in the Common Market's internal duties, the Italian manufacturer pays tariffs ranging from 7 to 9 percent on this equipment shipped to Germany. The U.S.-manufacturer pays from 12.8 to 17.6 percent-or almost double the rate for the Italian-made equipment.

This new Trade Expansion Act is designed to provide fle-:iible authority rvith r,vhich to meet likely changes in the structures of trade and, more spe- cifically, to equip lhe President with new and necessary tools to negotiate increased access to the Common Market for all our products, farm and industrial. It is, I feel, the most impor- tant proposal yet made by the Kennedy Administration.

This Act would empower the President,over the next five vears to reduce existing tariffs by r.tp to 50 percent in bargaining with any country. It would also enable the President to reduce or eliminate entirely tariffs in bargaining

rvith the Common Market countries on those groups of products in which 80 percent of world trade is in the hands of the EEC and of the U.S. together.

The negotiating authoriqv would be srrbject to modified peril point and escape clause provisions and to the ex- isting national security provisions. Reductions would have to be spaced over a five-year period, and we would make certain that they were fullv reciprocal.

- The proposed legislation would exp_and 9ur means for protecting U.S. producers from undue hardship through a program of Federal assisance to workers and companies to enable them to adjust to import compet1t10ns.

The Trade Expansion Act is necess,ary if the United States is to realize the full development of its domestic economy and seize the opportunities that beckon overseas.

This bill is essential if we are to demonstrate our faith in the free enterprise system, if we are to accept the challenge of new competition, if we are to grorv and flourish in a new world trade based on the increasingly freer flow of goods, capital, and services.

Every American has a stake in the President's Trade Expansion Act. E)very American will benefit through a stronger, healthier United States economy.

CHIP Nqtionol Adds Members

Betts-Sine Lumber Co. of Culver City and Viney Milliken Lrrmber Co. of Covina have joined the growing list of franchised dealers for CHIP, the Comprehensive Home Improvement Plan, according to an announcement by R. I. Williams, CHIP National NIanager.

FI. F. Betts says that, although their own home improvement plan is one and a half years old and proving out satisfactorily, there are d.finitJ advantages to joining this CHiP dealer group.

Looking ahead, Viney N,Iilliken sees hom-e improvement as a rlecessary direction of planning for ltrnrber dealers and says that they feel thev can realize their greatest potential bv being a member of CHIP Natiorral from-the outset.

"Benefits are many for CHIP franchise dealers," says lVilliams. "because we are offering them a complete home improvement plan, includiirg forms, selling equipment and advertising . and most important we go right into the yard to instruct the dealers in the use of these tools."

The CHIP National office is located at 33 E. Huntington Drive, No. 9, Arcadia, California.

New Regulafions Announced For Shipping

The Association of American Railroads has authorized the first stakeless flat car lumber load for unrestricted use by shippers.

The specifications for the new load-for lumber seven feet or over-\r'ere "published" as Fig. 6-,4' of Section 5, A. A. R. loading rules, on Jan. 11, 1962, in a circular letter to member railroads.

The Fig. 6-A load was developed by interested shippers with the cooperation of the A. A. R. and Signode Steel Strapping Co. Signode lumber specialists, engineers, and representatives were involved directly or indirectly in practically all of the more than 300 test shipments made.

The new load is a consolidation of the minimum stub stake Fig. 6-8 load, u'hich was approved by the A. A. R. last April, and the A. A. R. experimental Fig. 6-C load, which was authorized for testing about two months earlier.

"The best features of both," says R. G. Patterson, Sig- node's Forest Products Industry Manager, "are combined in the nerv load. The A. A. R. action is the culmination of three years of efiort to develop a load that offers the ultimate in loading', transporting, and handling economies for both shippers and receivers."

The elimination of stakes in Fie. 6-A. reduces lumber dunnage by as much as 300 board feet. Because the specifications do not limit the amount of vacant space aCross the car, it is no longer necessary to construct customfitted ladder braces and trusses to fill out center gaps in the load.

The arrangement of packages, together with pile straps and load strips, unitizes the 6-,{ load around a series of vertical load stabilizers and horizontal separators and permits the load to "float" as one unit under impact. Longitudal guide rails placed against each side at the base of the load prevent lateral movement.

Because the load consists of str:rpped packages, it can be made up in less time. The receiver need only cut the load and pile straps aud remove the lumber packages with mechanical equipment.

Protection Againsf Termites - Houses with Crawl Spaces

Our last previous issue covered protection against subterranean termite attack of houses with basements. All readers should refer to that first installment as it included good basic information.

When building houses with crawl spaces it is protect against attack from subterranean termites the materials needed for this protection can be sold ber dealers.

easy to and all by lum-

fn crawl space construction, joists should be at least 18 inches and girders 12 inches above ground level. Twenty- four and eighteen inches respectively would be a lot better. Room for entrance and movement in the crawl space for inspection purposes is important.

One path for termites into a house with a crawl space is through steps and porches. The means of protection against this entrance were given in detail and were illustrafed in a. prior issue. Please refer to that issue.

Other entrances for subterranean termites into a house with a crawl space are:

1. Through tunnels which the termites build up on the foundation walls on the outside or inside surfaces.-

2. If. there are piers instead of foundation walls, the tunnel-s ryay be built up on one or more sides of the piers.

3. Through cracks on the inside of the foundalion walls or plers.

4. Free-standing terrnite mounds from the ground to some of the lower woodwork.

_ One way to protect against entrance through cracks is by building foundation walls or piers of pouied concrete that will remain free of cracks and be without Dorous areas.

When solid masonry foundation walls are uied, a poured reinforced concrete cap four inches thick on top of thi walls should extend the entire rvidth and length of the walls ; or place non-corroding metal termite shields o.n top of foun<lation walls, under tiie wood sill plates, extending full length and width of the walls.

When masonry or pressure treated wood piers are used to support the house, metal termite shields extending over entire top area of the piers should be installed.

Termite shields should extend at least two inches beyond all edges of foundation walls and piers and then abruptly turned down at a 45-degree angle at least another twb inches. If the outside face! of foundation walls or piers are easily observed, just bending down the shield twb inches on the outside, wit.hout the two-inch extension, is sufficient.

All the joints in shields should be full soldered and anchor bolt holes sealed lvith roofing grade coal-tar pitch.

Inspect semi-annually and if termite tunnels ari observed, tear them down and pois,on-treat the ground around that area. There are many suitable poisons ind instead of giving you lengthy directions here, I suggest you write me, care of this magazite, or refer to Paragraph 815-3.8, Soil Treatment, on pige 117 of the F.H.A. Minimum property Standards.

When lattice or skirting is used between pier supports,

either it should (1) have no contact with the house and should be held in place by attachment to the piers o. by resting on the ground, or (2) if it hangs from the house wall it should not touch the piers or the ground. If (1) the skirting for self-protection can be of termite-resistant wood, treated wood or of a non-wood material. In this case there should be at least two inches between the skirting and any point of the house and the termite shields to enable easy inspection for termite tunnels. If (2) leave at least two-inch distance between the skirting and the piers, termite shields and ground for easy inspection.

Whether solid foundation walls or skirting is used, place a rot and termite proof soil cover with a vapor transmission rate of one-half perm or less on the ground. Lap the joints about four inches (mopping not necessary) and place tight against all walls, piers and pipes. First remove all sharp stones and pieces of wood off the ground. If the ground slopes, place the soil cover sheets shingle-wise to run-off to the outside any water that gains entrance to the crawl space. Crawl space must be well drained to keep dry as possible. If soil cover is placed over ground that has been poison treated, make sure the poison is not a kind that will destroy the soil cover. When soil covers are used with solid foundation wall construction. F.H.A. requires at least two wall ventilators with a net free ventilating area of no Iess than 1/1500 of the area of the crarvl space.

Although not proven by tests, the writer's investigations have convinced him that a good unpunctured soil cover, properly put in place, is the best protection against termite attack in a house r,vith a crawl soace-and certainlv is the best safeguard against moisture'coming from the ground. It protects against free-standing mounds as well as against tunnels over supports.

Hang piping from girders and joists instead of laf ing on supports extending to the ground. Thoroughly poisontreat the earth where pipes go into the ground unless a rot and termite-proof soil cover is placed tight around the pipes. Sealing the holes in the soil cover around the pipes with roofing grade coal-tar pitch would be helpful.

Ends of joists and girders inset in concrete or masonry walls should be placed on a piece of non-corroding metal rvhich is full length and width od the inset and there should be an air space of not less than one inch around sides and ends of the wood members.

There should be a clearance of at least two inches between house walls of masonry and joists running parallel, and adiacent. to these walls.

When house walls are of solid brick or masonry block and the foundation is also of maso,nry, a poured reinforced concrete cap four inches thick should be placed about eight inches above outside srade line and extend full width anc length of the walls. This is to protect the house contents as well a"s joists against termites.

Any outside attachment like clothesline posts, trellises etc. should be built so as not to provide termite paths into the house.

Hollow Tree Lumber Co. Merges

The merger of Hollow Tree Lumber Co., one of Ukiah's most important industries, with Oregon-Washington Plywood Co., a major industry in Oregon, has been announced by W. M. Moores, company president. The transaction includes a consolidation of the extensive operations of the land and timber holdings in Mendocino and Sonoma Counties of W. M. Moores and W. H. A. Smith.

The complete present management

of the sawmills at Ukiah, Annapolis and Gualala, and of the timber operations continues without change. However, Mr. Moores indicated the possibility e1 the company's expansion in operations by the building of one or more stud mills in this area to supplement the present volume of redwood manufacturing of the corporation.

Hollow Tree Lumber Co., whose sawmill ooerations in Mendocino County r,vere initiated in 7946, has been con-

tinually expanding its sawmill and timber facilities to a point of current production of 60,000,000 board feet of redwood lumber per annum. The operation involves the logging of sufficient timber in this locality to take care of the company's mills as well as approximately 20,000,000 board feet per annum of fir and pine supplied to plyr,vood and sawmill plants not associated with the corporation.

Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club 6

The lumber gals certainly know how to throw a party. The Anheuser-Busch brewery in San Fernando Valley was selected June 19th by the membership of Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club 6 where good old golden Budweiser was served to more than a hundred thirsty lumber folks. It was free, too, all you could clrink of their fir-rest beer. The folks clrank "Good Old Bud" before, during and after a smorgasbord served by the Sorensen Catering Service of Los Angeles, who offered the hungry a choice of at least 150 items of salads and hot dishes.

Following dinner Donna Dean, president of club 6, presented three door prizes. made the business session very, vcry short and all guests were invited to take a conducted tour throughout the Anheuser-Busch olant. This was a norrderful experience starting with the grain that begins the brew, through the brew house where the beer is actually startecl on through the cellars and filtering room to the packaging and shipping. It was truly a delightful evenirrg well spent with congenial friends and associates. The Budweiser people were splendid hosts and the social gathering was most successful.

Notionql Home Week

The National Association of Home Builders announced that this year's National lfome Week will be celebrated from Sept. 30 to Oct. 6 and that exhibits u'ill center on the theme, ?'Bett". Living Begins When You Own a New Home."

Hundreds of cities will have exhibit homes on display, with the number in any locality depending on the sile^^o! the community. Throughout the country, more than 10,000 exhibit homes will be open for inspection.

An estimated l0 million persons are expected to visit the homes to see what the home building industry, manufacturers, and suppliers have provided in facilities for better living.

National Home Week is sponsored eacl-r year by the NAHB and its local affiliated home builders association'

Leonard L. Frank, NAHB president, said that the week gives the home building industry "a fine- opportunity to iho* .orl.nmers the beauty and cornfort of new homes and the great progress our industry is making in its efforts to l-rouse America better."

He saicl he expects many local civic organizations to jo.in with home builder associations in their areas to make the week's observance a success.

Robert C. Mleaver, administrator of the Housing and Home Finance Agency, said in a preliminary statem-ent ou National llome Week that the displays will afford "an excellent occasion for housing to meet people and for people to meet houses."

"This has been a good homebuilding year-with more houses to choose from than we have had for the past two years," Weaver said. "It has been a period of stable prices i"d oi sharper competition in the houiing market-meani-ng better values and prices. It is a year of ample financing for buying a home-and at lower interest rates."

Neal J. IIardy, Commissioner of the Federal H-ousing Adminisiration, also hailed National llome \Aleek. He said the observance will serve "to bring prospective home buyers up to date on developments in home building and home nnancrng.

New homes or.r parade this ye'ar will include houses in all price brackets. Frank said they will accent comfort, convenience, beauty, and durability-or, in short, they ^will demonstrate thjt "Better Living Begins M/hen You Own a New lIome."

Direct Seeding Most C'ommon Reforestotion

\Mestern forest industries prefer clirect seeding rather than seedling planting as the means for reforesting cutover, burned-out, and-idle lands, the 796I-62 planting season survey of American Forest Products Industries reveals.

The survey shot'vs lvestern forest industries direct seeded m,684 acres as compared to 22,774 acres planted to seedlings.

Most of the western forest industry seeding is done by aircraft because of the rougl-r terrain. In contrast industry reforestation in the South, where the terrain is more often flat, is mostly done by seedling planting-by machine.

Although direct seeding proved to be the most popular method oi reforestation, western forest industries still planted 10,056,036 seedlings.

According to the survey the West l-ras 13 forest industry seed orchar-ds and 8 nurseries. Production from the seed orchards is negligible because the trees are still too I'oung but is expected to rise substantially in the future'

Through its seed orchards, forest-industries hop.e to breecl trees superior in growth, wood, form, and resistar-rce to diseases and insects.

Production from western forest industries' nurseries totaled 30,875,000 seedlings, of which 52,000 were receivecl bv other forest landowners for reforestation.

Pine Industry Wins Sofety Aword Agoin

The Western Pine Association has ll'on a National Safety Council award for progress in ir-rdus'trial safety for the second straight year. Announcement was made at the Council's Chicago office that the 1962 "Association S,afety Award" would go to Western Pine for new gains in the industry-wide promo'tion launched five years ago in the lz-state lumber region. Western Pine won the same award last year.

A 1961 show,ing 11 percen,t better than 1950'in injuries per million man hours of work was the basis for the selection, it was reported bv J. R. Grady, Western Pine safety director. The 1961 performance was 13 percent below the injury frequency average for the five-year period of t,he association program, and 23 percent below the average that prevailed prior to the the organized safety program.

Grady said powerful efforts at the mill level had, b1'last Dec.31, brough,t the S-year average injury frequency rate do&'n to'17.88 per 1,000,000 man hours of e,mployment, contrasted to the 61.87 rate for the years immediately preceding start 'of safety protnotion as an association function. For 1962 ,to date, the Western Pine Lumber industry is operating on an average frequency rate of 36.'17. he added.

OBITUABINS

Leslie Van Doren, a partner in the drafting firm of Spore & White Van Doren, Sacramen'to, died June 13 after a brief illness.

A native of Casper, Wyoming, Van Doren cafire to Sacramento in 1939, working as a designer for several lumber companies befor join,ing the drafing firm in 1951.

Mr. Van Doren bel.onged to ithe California Society of Professional Designers, Sacramento Exchange Ciub, Parkside Congregational Church. Am,erican Ins,t,itute of Building Design, Asso,ciated Ho'mebuilders of Sacramento and the Interna,tional Order of H,oo-Hoo.

He leaves his wife, Katherine, of their home at 5230 South Land Park Drive, Sacramento, and two children, Luann and Lane.

Services were held for ve'teran Bay Area lumberman, A. J. "Gus" Russell, at the A1bert Brown Funeral Home in Oakland on June 30. Mr. Russell, 81, died on June 27, at Merritt Hospital in Oakland, where he had undergone surgery two weeks earlier. Afiectionately known as "Gus" to hundreds of friends in the Pacific Coast lumber industry, he had spent over 60 years in the indusrtry he loved and fought for on numerous occasions. He was the husband of the late Mae B. Russell, 228 Seaview Dr. Piedmont, California.

Mr. Russell was born on a ranch in Reno County, near H,utchinson, Kansas, and came to the Coast while still in his early teens with his father, Fred Russell, who operated

a smail sawmill near Portland. He canre to San Francisco before the '06 Quake folthe old Portland Lumber Company and was instrumental in helping to supply t'he lu'mber that went into the rebuilding of San Francisco after the 1906 disaster.

During 1908, Mr. Russell formed Santa Fe Lumber Co., a firm he has headed for over 50 years. Santa Fe Lumber Co. was located in one building at the corner of Calif ornia and Drum,m in San Francisco for nearly 50 years until moving to Oakland last year.

During his long association with the lumber ind'ustry, Mr. Russell had seen every phase od the business. Santa Fe Lumber Co., a wholesale iumber operation, operated its own lumber schooner, the "Arelia", during its earlier years of existence. Later, the cornpany built a sawrnill at Orick, California, w,hich operated under the name of Geneva Lumber Company. Primarily a redwood mil1, Geneva Lumber operated successfully fo,r many years. Geneva whs sold to Hammond Lumber Company on December 1, 1 954.

As Santa Fe Lumber originally started as a retail yard in San Francisco, Mr. Russell also maintained an interest in the retail end of the industry. At one time followinc WW II, he was interested in retail yards at Stockton, Wesley, Tracy, Bren,twood, Patterson and Newman, California.

A little known humanitarian, Mr. Russell lent a helping hand to many a struggling lumberman 'during the trying depression days, several of whom went on to carve their lasting mark on the industry's who's who roster. In addition, Mr. Russell, an avid football fan, put several promising young men

throug,h USC where they amply rewarded him on the gr,id.

A close friend of the late Peter B. Kyne, Mr. Russell was instrumentai in breathing fire into Kyne's long and suocessful career as an author.

Mr. Russell was also active in forming the San Francis.co Hoo-Hoo Club 9, one of the oldes,t in the International Order, and sti1l holds an Honorary 1\[embership in that Club. lIe was a member of the International Order of Hoo-Hoo, a member of the Bohemian Cl,ub of San Franoisco, and a charter mernber of the Orinda Country Club.

Dr. W. S. Adams, one of the greatest astronomers in American history, used to say that there are perhaps countless heavenly bodies on which dwell thinking beings. He said that astronomy counts billions and billions of stars in the galaxy to which our sun belongs, many of them a million times as big as our sun, which is a million times as big as this earth; that there are about thirty millions of suns in our "universe" and that there are probably a million such groups. And the wise astronomer did not doubt that there are countless stars in all these that are peopled by thinking beings. I\fakes the world seem mighty small, doesn't it? But it makes God big.

Broadway Lumber of Sonoma Celebrates Return from Ashes

Broadway Lumber Company, 20065 Broadway, Sonoma, celebrated the ofifrcial opening of its brand-new store with a grand opening on June 23. Owners Kirk and Wayne Wirick were on hand and all smiles to greet hundreds of friends and customers who dropped by to congratulate both father and son on the complete rebuilding of the yard.

Broadway Lumber Company was totally destroyed by fire on August 5, 1961, with the exception of one truck

and the accounts receivable ledger. Even as Kirk and Wayne Wirick surveyed the ruins, local businessmen and friends began rolling up their sleeves to help clear wreckage and get the yard back in operating condition. All of the other.yards in the area (Parson's Lumber, Boyes Springs, Vern, Don and Bob Parsons; Farrells Sonoma Mill & Lumber, Dale and Ed Farrell; Mission Lumber Co., Sonoma, Byron and Dominic Peart) chipped in to help,

lending equipment and even materials to get the operation rolling again. The Wiricks responded with gratitude and elbow grease. The business was continued as nearly normal as possible and volume held up surprisingly well.

In addition to the new store and office, Kirk and Wayne Wirick's immediate future plans include the construction of a new 24' x ffi pole and beam warehouse, and a24 x 8CX covered (Conttnueil on Page 43)

San Francisco Changes Building Code For All-Redwood Plywood

On the basis of its quality, structural rigidity and treatment with a clear water repellent sealer, a new, all-redwood plywood is being used for diaphram wall construction for the first time in San Francisco as a result of a major code revision approved by the city's Bureau of Building Inspection.

Through the efforts of San Francisco architect Max R. Garcia, A.I.A., and representatives of Simpson Timber Company, the city building officials were convinced and made code revisions allowing Ruf-sawn, a new Simpson all-redwood plywood with a roughtextured surface, to be used as a shear and finish covering.

"Application of ftrt-16ick Ruf-sawn will eliminate one complete operation of labor and material." said architect

Garcia. "Previously we had to use a ft"-thick plywood sheathing or insulating sheathing underneath the finish siding material."

Garcia has specified Ruf-sawn on several custom houses on Red Rock Hill in the neq' Diamond Heights redevelopment area of San Francisco. The first structure is a $55,000, threestory residence being built for Dr. and I\{rs. Allan M. Unger by contractor Ralph Goldenberg.

Redwood plywood now can be used in all types of San Francisco construction for homes, apartment buildings, small commercial structures, €tc,, except certain areas where vr'ood siding still is not permitted.

Ruf-sawn, introduced last fall bv Simpson, is available in widths of.l|i,

3V' and 48', lengths of &, I and, lA and full thicknesses ol 3/8r,, fil and s/g". Matching clear all-heart roughsawn lt'x 3" redwood battens are available for board and batten application.

This all-redwood plywood was designed for application directly to studs, without sheathing, up to 24' on center in the f" and /st' thicknesses; and up to l0'on center in the /6" thickness.

Gonstruction Gontrocls Reoch Record t$l gitlion In Moy

Tlre nation's largest industry, construction, forged ahead again in May to set another record, evidencing the determination of business men to move ahead with their capital investment plans despite the serious delay in government action to achieve tax and depreciation reform. -

The first $4 billion month of construction contracts ever recorded was reported by F. W. Dodge Corporation as contracts totaled $4,008,718,000, a substantial gain of 14 per cent over May 1961. Strength was spread throughout the various construction categories, with commercial, manufacturing,.industrial, and residential contracts all register- ing large increases.

"Commercial contracts for the month surged 23 per cent ahead of M,ay, 196l," said Dr. Gordon W. MiKinley, Dodge vic.e_preside,nt an{ chief economist, "and manuiacturing building widened its margin of gain by recording a ,10 per cent increase over the same month of last vear] This impressive performance is being achieved deipite the dead weight of the heavy Federal tax burden and despite outmoded depreciation regulations whi,ch are less liberal than those of any other modern industrial nation.

"Think what this economy of ours could do if some of thes-e restrictive governmeni burdens were lightened and modernized ! It is time for the Federal Government to cease its delays and unleash the full growth power of our economic. system by cutting corporate and perional income taxes and by drastically reducing the useful life of depreciable assets so as to place our business men on an iqual footing with foreign competitors.

H ^t represents us in Sacramento and the San Joaquin Valley.

The Valley's been his business home for over 18 years . all of them in lumber. His prior experience at Madera Lumber & Hardware Co., his f.amiliarig with estimating. and blue prints, and his unmistakable desire to deliver the goods, are right in character for Hobbs \Vall service.

Hal Rolff is one of several Hobbs \7all lumber specialists . good men to call when you want the right grad.es at the right prices in redwood, fir, pine and hemlock.

\Vhy not put them to work for you next time you need a t. & t. or carload shipment?

"Th9 private sector ,of the economy is also showing its vigor in the residential field," Dr. McKinley added. "Total residential contracts in May were 77 per cent ahead of a year ago, and apartment building contracts were up by 80 per cent. Although the main strength in this area is in apartments, single-family homes are nevertheless also doing quite well with an 11 per cent gain over the first five months of 1961. On the basis of Dodge figures thus far we- anticipate that total private and public housing starts in 1962 are likely to reach 1,485,000, ranking wit[ 1950, 1955, and 1959 as the top years for this type of construction."

Total residential contracts in May amounted to $1,819,- 027,000, up 17 per cent compared tir May 1961. Ttre-total number of dwelling units represented by the contracts was 129,679, an increasE of 15 per cent compared to a year ago.

According to the Dodge report, the dollar volume of contracts for heavy engineering work totaled $915,112,000, an increase of 9 per cent over the like 1961 month. This gain was due to a 17 per cent increase in contracts for public wgrkg projects, principally streets and highways, as the utilities sector of the heavy engineering category registered a 15 per cent decrease.

_-Jolal non-resiidential contracts amounted to $1,274,- 579,W, up 15 per cent compared to 1\4ay 1961.

are held in the Nord plant in Everett, Wash. My w,ife and three children joined me.

The Northwes,t Lumber Industry ,has two homes of the future and a beautif'ul exhibit building.

Eating on the Fair grounds is a pleasure. One could eat h,is way through the Fair with Danish Ho't Dogs, Spanish Village luncheons and dinners, Food C,ircus, Space Needle meals, (reservations are possible for breakfast only- and must be rnade one week in advance), French, German, Thai and Japanese meals etc. are just a few possibilities.

There are plenty of foreign shop's to buy many of the articles exhibited. There are strill plenty of motel reservations available.

Friends, competitors and associates in the lumber indmstry with offices or mills in the Seattle area are leaning over backwards to make vis,iting lurnbermen and their families welcome.

A few examples would be the daily trips through the U.S. Plywood plant on l-,rake Union, while in that area do be sure to visit the Governmen't I-o,cks which join Lake Union with the Puget Sound, daily tr'ips through the Weyerhaeuser plant in Everett, the Nord people in Everett are doing everyth,ing possible to make vis,iting door custom,ers ,at home, Simpson Logging Company has an extra specrial 'treat for their customers and the people of Howard Sales Corn' pany (righrt under part of th.e monorail) extend a welcoming hand to t.heir customers and iriends, and can give the bes,t routes for corning and going by car, the best places to park your car, etc.).

SO, DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE READ OR HEARD WHICH HAS BEEN CRITICAL. The Fai is worth seeing. Be sure to ,take your family, because the Pacific Nonthwesrt is beautifrul this t,ime of year. With kind,est regards, -Jack Carlow, Carlow Company, Los Angeles, Calif.

ARE CURED

Each one thanks God for the knowledge and the skill that made a cancer cure possible. Each one is in debt to millions ofneighbors who have been supporting the efforts of the American Cancer Society. More than a million are living today who have been cured of cancer.

A few years ago, it was possible to save only one in four victims, Now we are saving one in three. One in two could be saved, if we can only reach them in time. And ahead ofus : the permanent conquest of cancer.

Todoy's Houses Are Befler

Nerv houses being built in America than ever, according to a new survey tion authority.

Tl.rey are also more expensive.

are bigger and better by a leading construc-

F. W. Dodge Corp. sent company reporters to 1,000 new homes scattered around r\merica to intervieu' the owners.

They found that if the average one-family house being built today is any indicator, then Americans are enjoying a better home than five years ago, but that it also carries a higl-rer price tag. The new, one-family house of 1956 cost $14,500, while the national average now is $17,900 and up to $19,100 in metropolitan areas.

The new home has more floor space, is larger over-all and has more bedrooms and baths, and more garages and carports than five years ago.

Average floor space for homes built in 1961's last quarter is a good deal larger than 1956. The breakdown iu square feet by areas is: South, 1506; West, 1497 ; Northeast, 1442 ; North central, 1358. Also founcl lvas that 9/r, oI the onefamily houses are detached.

Sixty-eight percent of the houses had three bedrooms, down 2/o from 1956, but four bedroom houses make up 17/", up 9/o from five years ago.

Tl-re most striking lllcrease \\/as ing built with two or more baths. the greater number beNearly half now have more than one bathroom, compared u,ith 17/a in 1956.

The report also showed a large increase in the number of horrses being built on slabs, rvhile tl-rose constructed u'ith basements increased only sligl-rtly.

The 11 Southeastern States, which lead the Nation's reforestatioll efforts with more than 70 percent of treeplanting annually, also have the worst forest fire record, ancl account for more than half the burned acreage.

Report On 196l Operoting Cosfs Survey

National Building Material Distributors Association ar1nounces_publicati-on of its Report on 1961 Operating Costs for the Building Material Distributor Industry.

The,operating ra-tios shown in the report are based upon IttS t?_Ot figures submitted by Wholesale Building Material Distributors on a voluntary basis, and are analyzed to provide management with a guide for making decisibns and locating potential trouble areas, says Association President, p B. Richardson, president, Richardson Lumber Co., Denver, Colo.

The report analyzes participating companies by earnings ratios, and_shows comparative opeiating-ratios over a fiviyear period.

For more information, write NBMDA Ffeadquarters, 22 West Monroe Street, Chicago 3, Illinois.

Special design and fabrication of equipment for the lumber inclustry is illustrated by Berman Leasing Company rlelivery van, shown here, produced for Weyerhaeuser Company.

We-n-erhaeuser needed these special trucks for delivering spl,it loads of plyvrood, panels, a,nd fin,ished lumber from its Philadelphia distributiorr cerlter to points with,in a radius of abo.ut fifty miles. One-man handling of loads was essential, as were reduct,ion of loading and unload,ing time and decreased load damage in hauling. To m'ee,t the Weyerhaeuser requirement, Berman designed a 2}-foot e,ight-ton p,ayload van with side bays frtted with nylon covers. Floor to top stake dividers separate particle loads and the bays m,ake each load accessible withou,t need for shifting others. The van body is moun.ted on an International BC-182A chassis.

Deslers Ser Up Remodeling Informqtion Cenlers

In Three frlinutes

Latest idea in dealer remodeling information centers, a counter top source of complete data on home repair and moderniza[ion, is making its appearance this summer in retail building material outlets coast to coast.

-

The unusual "center" is a four-sided cardboard "model home," two feet high and taking up only lI by 17 inches of counter space. It takes only three mintttes to assemble and holds 100 copies of an unusual new consumer booklet that is free to dealer customers. The booklet contains detailed information on virtually every phase of home remodeling, including ideas and color illustrations.

Published by Georgia-Pacific Corp., the new 20-page "Guide to Remodeling" is being furnished without cost to G-P's dealers. It is part of a long list of new "big ticket" remodeling sales promotion materials.

"Demand for the new booklet, from the first group of dealers to receive it, indicates the Guide will be one of the most popular pieces of consumer literature we have ever published," it was indicated by H. C. Ellicott, G-P's product advertising and promotion manager.

In fact, initial publication plans already have been expanded by another 300,000 copies, he revealed.

Basic sections of the booklet cover the reasons for remodeling, initial planning, selecting a reliable firm (the dealer), budgets, codes, jobs that are NOT do-it-yourself, selecting products, working with the dealer or contractor, eight methods of financing, and a section of interesting remodeling ideas for various parts of the house.

Although it is free at building material dealers, homeowners must pay for the booklet if they choose to write directly to G-P for their copy, Ellicott explains.

Other phases of the company's summer-fall big-ticket remodeling sales promotion program, geared to an "Improve-A-Home" theme, include national consumer advertising with full-page, full-color in Life and an eight-page color insert in Popular Science.

There are special "Improve-A-lIome" mailing pieces furnished to dealers, along with point-of-purchase materials that include price tags, banners, pennants and four-sided simulated model homes that hang from the ceiling or sit on counters or islands to promote various types of building materials.

G-P's "instant financing" consumer credit plan for dealers, first offered earlier this year, is being continued through the new program and includes non-G-P products, labor and contractor fees.

The program is being fielded currently through the company's 77 branch distribution centers in key U. S. market areas. Dealers also may secure free sample copies of the "Guide to Remodeling" and data on other new promotion material by writing to E. L. Kimball, Georgia-Pacific Corp., Equitable Bldg., Portland 4, Ore.

To All Supreme Nine Members:

Here are a couple of items I think are worth passing along:

Big Business ond Smqll Business

America can no more survive and grow without big business than it can survive and grow without small business. Every fact of our economic and industrial life proves that the two are interdependent. You cannot strengthen one by weakening the other; and you cannot add to the stature of a dwarf by cutting off the leg of a giant . . The American industrial machine is a unit.

just like an automobile. It is made of big parts and little plrts, each of which does its own particutai iob and all of whic-h are intricately fitted togethei. You may think that it would be fun to soit them alfout into neat piles according to size -to -please the statisticians. You could even pass i law declaring that all the parts must be the same sizi; and the theorists, no doubt, worlld be delighted. But when you get through, 1lour automobile v,'en't 1un-and neither will American industry.-Benjamin Fairless.

Governrnenf Ownership

I am firmly opposed to the Government entering into any ,siness the major purpose of which is competltion witir business mijor purpose wit our citizens. I hesitate to contemplate the future of ot I our institutions-, of our Go-vernment, and of our country if the preoccupation of its officials is no lon longer the promotion of justice and equal opportunity but is Eevoted'to barter in ;ustrce and is devoted to the market. This is not liberalism; it is degeneration.- Herbert ffoover.

Management of D L Veneer and Plywood is a brother operation. Lowell Sexton is president and manager. Bro'ther Dale Sexton is vice president and supervisor. The company wil'l market its own procluotion from M"M,innville.

CRA STAFF ADDITION

Rober't L. Leslie of Berkeley, a recen,t graduate of the Univers'ity of California has joined CRA's Field Promot.ion staff.

Leslie, a native of Grass Valley, graduated from the University of California in 1960. His background ,includes summer u'ork with the U.S. Forest Service at Tahoe National Forest.

Leslie's duties with the California Redwood Association will include calls on architec'ts and builders tthroughout the U.S. and Canada, as well as industrial users of redwood, and other people who are able to furnish market information or who may be potential users of redwood.

The Field Promotion Division of the Association assists in the development of new markets by colleoting informartion about these markets and reporting to tl.re member mills of the Association and by giving ass,istance to redwood lumber distribution channels.

Sqles C.enter Sells Siding

A new idea in plywood siding merchandising ha^s been announced by the Building Material Divrision of Evans Products Company, Portland, Oregon. Evanite dealers are now being supplied with a portable siding display unit called the Evanite Siding Center. Builders and consumers may examine plywood siding in convenient sample panels r'igh,t in the dealer's showroom.

The center holds four Super-Tuf overlay, prime-painted textures including Evanite Smooth, Vee-Plank, Texture l-ll, Board and Batten and a sample of unpainted overlay. Each sample is a generous 2U' x 24' size to adequately show off each Evanite texture.

The display unit takes only 72" x 2" fl.oor space to fit conveniently in every building supply outlet. It rides on caster wheels to permit moving the unit without removing any of the plywood samples. A built-in literature rack dispenses idea folders and technical information.

Dealers report the center substantially 'increases plywood siding sales. According to Evans officials. builders can save time and money in the application of Evanite primepainted sidings because the panels install faster with less labor. Evanite is the only plywood siding on the market that 'has overlay plus two-coat priming. The manufacturer states prime-painting gives protection on the job up to 90 days without a finish coat.

Dealers may get more information on the Evanite Siding Center and Evanite primepainted sidings by contacting their nearest E,vanite building materials distribution center or writing to Building Materials Division, Evans Products Company, 1029 S. W. Alder Street, Portland 5, Oregon.

The corrpoctly designed point of sole Evcniro Siding Soles Gcnter for Dcoleru will live the buyer, whether il iJ fta builder or consumer, o convenienl opportunity to romple their prirne pointed siding.

Froslt Snyder, pres'ident of Vancouver Plywood Co., reported subs'tantial growth of the business during 1951 and the first half of 1962 in his report at ,the firm's annual stockholders meeting held June 13.

As a result of the acqu,isition of produc,i,ng units in ithe prlywood field, Vanply is now the largest sheathing producer in the industry, Snyder said, as well as one of the larges,t suppliers of all types of plywood because of irts position as sales agen't for a number of sanded mitlls.

Snyder recognized the depressed cond,it,ion of the industry, but emph'asized thalt the Vanply produ'c,ing units were among the most m,od,er,n in the industry, and w'ould be able to compe{e under the mos,t difficult conditions. He expressed optimi.sm about ttre outlook for p,lywood as a result of the expanded markerts for the Product.

At the mee,ting, stockho ders a6rproved the addition of three seats on the Board of Directors. Elec,ted to the new pos,itions were D. I. Plummer, Jr., Elto,n Disher, and Paul L. Cole.
