Ifowever, many mills in the Western Pine region deliver a good deal of their lumber by truck and some actually can sell and ship more when a shortage of cars restricts shipments from western Oregon and Washington.

Based upon current lumber demand, the predicted trend in residential construction and all other available information as to prospective demand, it would seem probable that, during the third quarter of 1955, shipments (consumption) of lumber from the Western Pine region will approximate 2500 million feet. This would be about IOVo over the same 1954 period.

President Herb Geisenheyner called the June meeting of the Southern California Lumber Seasoning Association to order at 8:10 p.m. after a very fine prime rib beef dinner at Rodger Young auditorium.

President Geisenheyner introduced V. A. Bloxham, Bloxham E,ngineering Co., Berkeley, Calif., as speaker of the evening on "Developments in Kiln Performance." His talk centered on important points to be considered to achieve over-all excellent performance. He named:

1. Short air travel

2. Adequate air velocity through the lumber

3. Uniform distribution of air flow through the lumber

4. Uniform temperature distribution

5. Adequate heating capacity

6. Quick response to controls

7. Effective humidification

8. Adequate reconditioning

9. Good kiln building construction, and

10. Accurate and reliable control equipment.

Mr. Bloxham finished his instructive talk with sketches of their kiln designs. A fine discttssion and question-andanswer period followed, with many good points being clarified.
