Under the date of July 19, the National Retail Lumber Dealers Assn. sent out a bulletin regarding the article, "Be$,are of Home-Repair Racketeers," which appears in the nrost recent issue of the Saturday Evening l'ost. The NRLDA bulletin stated:

"Nfany members of the Board u'ill probably have read this u'eek's Saturday Evening Post article, 'Beu.are of Home-Repair Racketeers,' rvhich was, as a matter of fact, very unfortur.rately timed because it came at a time u,hen u'e were struggling, and are still struggling, to solve our Titie I prol>lem on Capitol Hill. The article has some elements of good in it in all probability, because it emphasizes the importance of dealing 'rvith reputable local merchants, but beyoncl that all that can be said is tlrat it emphasizes a great many Title I rackets that rvere going on in 1954, somervhat misquotes our good friend, Cy Srveet, and infers that this racketeering is prevalent today.

Smokey Beqr Agoin to Ride rhe Mqil

Postmaster-General Summerfield (left) and Secretary of Agriculture Benson announced that Smokey Bear posters will again be displayed on all U. S. mail trucks during the month of August. This will mark the fifth year in a row that the Post Off,ce Department has cooperated in the nationwide drive to stop man-caused forest fires. In addition to the truck posters, postmasters in over 200 cities have been authorized to cancel mail during periods of forest fire danger with special dies carrying forest fire prevention messages. In expressing appreciation for the fine support which the Department is giving the Nationwide Cooperative Forest Fire Prevention Program conducted by the USDA's Forest Service and state foresters under sponsorship of The Advertising Council, Secretary Benson said, "If every man, woman and child will just do his part, we can stop this shameful waste of our natural resources. At stake are priceless values in soil and water, in timber and recreation, in wildlife and beauty-not only for our use and enjoyment today-but for generations to come."

I still think that probably the best story of World War Two was about two marines. It seems that they were aviators who were forced down on the ocean, and were floating around on a rubber raft when an en€my submarine surfaced close to them, and an officer ordered them to surrender and come aboard. One of them whispered to the other: "Act like we're surrendering, and when we get close to the sub LET'S RAM IT !" That's the way I think of our marines, "rt*"t. * * *

Which reminds me of the story about the night the Marines landed in the Solomons. That night a Marine Sergeant in a San Francisco cafe was praising his corps in loud tones when an Army captain interrupted him. "Don't forget," said the officer, "that when a Marine goes into battle there are ten soldiers on one side of him, and ten sailors on the other." The Marine drew himself up to his full six-feet-two, came to attention and answered : "Sir ! That's the proper proportion."

And perhaps your scrapbook, friend reader, could find a small spot for a remark of the great thinker, Oliver Wendell Holmes. Someone asked him why he always went to church on SundaS and Holmes said that he had discovered in himself a little plant called reverence, that needed to be watered about once a week. ***

The world hasn't changed much. I was reading an editorial I wrote forty years ago, and here is how I commented on folks in general: "Every town has a liar or two, a smart aleck, some pretty girls, more loafers than it needs, a woman who tattles, men who stand on street corners and make remarks about wom,en, the man who laughs like an idiot every time he says something, men who can tell you just how the war question ought to be settled, foretell the weather and how to ru,n every other fellow's business; all of whom made dismal failures of their own."

A friend of mine was asked one time to tell his opinion of a real retail lumberman, and his reply is worth remembering. He said: "Retail lumbering is a business that calls for many of the finer characteristics in men. The real lumberman has the patience of Job, the urbanity of a Chesterfield, the philosophy of a Marcus Aurelius, the mind of a poet; he does not believe he is capable of giving advice to Allah, or of running the universe; his mirth bubbles up like a fountain; he recognizes humanity in man, is tolerant of his foibles, forgives his sins, and is great in the little things of life. This is the real retail lumberman."

I know no lumberman who would object to that description, do you?

A friend of mine, *iai "* "jr..r, to make, wished to compliment a man of small stature and asked me if I could suggest any happy things he might say. I told him I was loaded on that subject, having written about it at different times. Some small men seem to rese,nt references to their size. Once I introduced a politician of that sort to make a speech, and I stated, facetiously, that he had once visited the tomb of Napoleon and, looking down at the remains of the man who revolutionized the science of warfare. he remarked: "Ffe was a small man, too." The gentleman, to my surprise, sort of resented the thing.

But here is what I tolJ ,fi. Ioun who wanted to compliment small men in a speech. No subject could furnish finer fuel for a hot speech, for the history of the world is packed with men who were great in mind, but small in body. Take soldiers. Napoleon was exactly 5 ieet, l/4" tall. Alexander the Great, who conquered the world and then sat down by the ever-moaning sea and wept into his red bandana because he knew of no more people to grind beneath his heel, was about the size of Napoleon. ,* * *

England's great naval hero, Lord Nelson, was a shorty. So was that noble Roman, Julius Caesar, who divorced his wife because she was heard to admire tall Roman soldiers. Ulysses S. Grant, American war hero, was much below average height. So was Admiral Farragut, the man who damned the torpedoes. General Phil Sheridan, of Civil War fame, was a short man. So was John Paul Jones. Pretty husky bunch of shorties! **{<

Now let's review the small men who set the world on fire with the magic of their thinking. Emmanuel Kant, topnotch among all topnotch philosophers, was just 5 feet tall. Spinoza, c6nsidered by many scholars to have been the greatest of all thinkers, was a little man. And the mighty thinker and writer of the 15th century, Erasmus, was small, though he wrote three hqndred books and has been quoted by scholars for centuries. And did you know that the immortal Athenian, Plato, was a small man? And that so was that king among thinkers and pupils of Plato, Aristotle? He was also the teacher of the small but mighty conqueror, Alexander. Saint Paul is deduced by Biblical scholars to have been a small man. Saint Francis Xavier was just 4 feet 6 inches tall, shortest in stature of all the great men of history. And John Calvin was a short man. And so was the great orator, Savonarola.

and Chopin and Mendelssohn and Wagner, all were small men, less than average stature. James Whistler, the painter whose mother's picture has been made immortal, was a small fellow. The almost legendary artist, Michelangelo, was short. The greatest debates in American history took place between two men, Abraham Lincoln-6 feet 4 inches in his stocking feet, and Stephen A. Douglas, a five-footer.

Writers? Milton was a very small man, so was Balzac, and Goldsmith, and Descartes, and Dryden, and Epictetus, and Heine, and Horace, and Ibsen, and Keats, and Charles Lamb, and the mighty Macaulay, and the Irish poet, Thomas Moore; and Pope, and Renan, and Thoreau, and Swinburne' :{< * {<

And scientists? Archimedes was small. Likewise Kepler. And Herbert Spencer, and Steinmetz. Oliver Wendell Holmes was just 5 feet 5. James Madison was the shortest American president. Martin Van Bure,n and John Quincy Adams were both little men. So was Alexander Hamilton. So was Andrew Carnegie. With these samples you will understand that there was nothing short about a lot of the short men of the world when it came to doing and thinking.

Now, lest someone anr; t *:ld be so mad as to ctaim all these quoted facts as my own, let me say that I got them out of a book written many years ago by Paul O'Neil, whose identity I do not know, but who must have spent

a long time in the research on which the book, called "Why Be Short?" was built. ***

I wish someone would write a book of the same sort about the tall people of history. I'd like to read it and see how the list of long men compare for greatness with the shorties I have mentioned. I recall right now that Washingto,n, and Jefferson, and Lincoln, and Robert E. Lee were all tall men. I'd like someone to take it up from there. Bet it would be interesting.

O'Mqlley Unveils Hqndsome R.emodeling in Tucson

Dealers '"vith an eye for improved lumberyard merchandising will be interested in the recent modernization of the O'Malley Lumber Company yard in Tucson, Arizona. The before-and-after photographs above show the great change which was made in the exterior of the store, and the trvo interior shots belorv clearly indicate the type of merchandising display that luml>er dealers are doing in Arizona.

Gus R. Michaels, secretary-manager of the Arizona Retail Lumber and Builders Supply Association, Phoenix,

informs The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT that the face-lifting program of lumberyards in Arizona got underway about four years ago and since then more than 30 yards have been extensively remodelecl. N{r. X{ichaels kindly furnished the accompanying photos.

From this O'Malley modernization program, it is easy to see why Jan-res C. (Jay) O'Malley is one of the vicepresidents of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Assn. The O'N{alley firm certainly seems to be setting a pace for good building materials merchandising.

In a feature article in its issue of June 22, The (Tucson) Arizona Star had this to say about the yard's remodeling:

A pioneer Arizona firm that has grown rvith Tucson since before the first world u'ar, the O'Malley Lumber Company opens expanded facilities for serving the public tomorrow at 247 N. 4th Ave.

O'Malley's opened its lumber, harclrvare and paint supply store in Tucson in 1915, on the same site near the old Arroyo. Manager C. O. Brown said the firm .rvould formally make the move to the larger store u'ith a grand opening celebration Friday and Saturday. The grand opening will be complete with free gi{ts, refreshments and such prizes as a power sau', plate glass mirror and $25 worth of paint, he said.

Manager Brown said the move was made necessary by the addition of a larger selection of home building and home improvement material for both the home builder and owner, as well as to provide a larger, more ct-rnvenient parking area.

H. W. Porvers, vice-president of the O'Nfalley Lumber Company, and former manager of the store, termed the expansion an expression of faith in the community's future. "Our slogan at O'Malley's is Building With Arizona Since 1908," Powers said. "Tl-ris is literally true and \\'e are proud to continue onr growth with Tucson."

The nelv store has 4,0O0 square feet of floor space. Tlie attractive, modern interior was planned by O'N{alley personnel. Among the outstanding features of the larger store is the display of wal1 paneling 'ivhich N'Ianager Brorvn described as one of the largest displays in the Southwest.

The original O'Malley store was started lty the late E. L. O'Malley 41 years ago. He continued to direct its grou'th unttl 1926. His son, E. V. O'Malley, who attended school in Tucson and gained his early experience in the store, now is president oi the firm.

Merchondising

Merchandising means taking things from places where they are plentiful, and distributing them in places where they are needed. We speak, of course, of modern merchandising.

A lady we know ran into a very different type of merchandising. She was in Mexico City on a vacation, and in the shop of an old Mexican chair-maker she found a chair that caught her eye, and aroused her desire for possession. She asked the price and he quoted her fifteen pesos for the chair. Fifteen pesos for that lovely chair! I'll get a dozen and send them to some of my friends back home. she thought. So she asked what price he would make her on twelve such chairs.

Aw, Shucks !

The pictures you published in the July 1 issue of yolur magazine about our association were very good and the article was a masterpiece. It always s€ems that in an association such as ours it is difficult to get started and for the good from it to have its effect upon the industry. But when we have such a fi,ne magazine as yours behind us and giving us such a wonderful push, we can't help but succeed. We thank you very much for this help.

Robert P. Inglis, Secretary, Southern California Lumber Seasoning Associatio,n

An Editorial

The old Mexican figured solemnly for a couple of minutes, and then quoted her. He wanted 15 pesos for one chair, but f.or L2 chairs he wanted 15 pesos and 25 centavos each. She pvas astonished. She was chagrined.

Why, she asked, would he sell her one chair for 15 pesos, but wanted considerably mor€ when she bought a dozen.

He spread out his hands, and pursed his lips.

"SO MOOCHA TROU*B1",'* n. explained.

He was probably related to the old Mexican sitting in the sun, who said: "God is good ! He makes the night for sleep, and the day for rest."

Offer Movie on Pole Buildings

Many business people are turning to pole-type construc-. tion for warehousing, lumber storage, garages, stores and even offices. Pole buildings are much less expensive than normal construction, easy to build, flexible, wind resistant and durable. Because they are built with materials normally handled through retail lumber outlets, pole buildings are opening up new markets.

To help lumber dealers promote this type of building, Dow Chemical Company has produced a 1.6-minute, 16mm sound film in Kodachrome, "Put It on Poles," to be shown at meetings of lumber dealers, building supply houses, building ,contractors and industrial firms.

The film may be borrowed from Modern Talking Picture Service, 45 Rockefeller Plaza, New York 20, N. Y.

Only Three Employes Required to Operqte This rcOa/o Price-tulqrked, Self-Service Yclrd in Downey

A new 100/o self-service retail lumberyard, the Farmers Lumber and Supply Co., has been opened at 11625 Lakewood Blvd., in Downey, Calif. It is an idea its owner, Bob Alley, has had for several years. E.stablished on a low overhead policy, three employes can handle the store and turo-acre yard. Dick Hamilton manages the enterprise for Alley. He is assisted by Mel Termain, stock clerk and yardman, and Edna Mayhew, the cashier.

"We operate on the sarile pattern followed by the big grocery supennarkets, with every item-including all lumber, plywood, mouldings, hardware and paint-being pricemarked and grade-stamped for quick and easy selection," says Bob Alley.

"We also furnish lumber trailers, at no extra cost, when our customers purchase in quantity too bulky to handle in their private automobiles," he continued. Lumber in the yard is displayed in various size loads,

and specialty items are priced by the piece. Loads rif all species, sizes and grade are plainly marked as to footage and retail price to the customer.

Upon selection the purchaser removes the load ticket, takes it to the cashier, receives a receipt and drives off with his material. It is as simple as that.

The Farmers Lumber offers a rvide selection of building items and remains open seven days each u'eek. "In fact," said Manager Hamilton, "Saturday and Sunday are our two biggest sales days. We are in an area that is adjacent to the fastest-growing district in Southern California and everybody is constantly thinking of home improvement," he continued.

Hundreds of customers bror','se through tl'ris unique establishrnent each weekend rvithout once being approached by a salesman. Every effort is made to display the in-

A private airport, truck terminal and sales office combination rvas officially christenecl by Hedlund Lumber Sales Co., Inc., Sacramento, on June 4. Construction of the nerv quarters began several mclnths ago, follorving a fire which gutted the old Hedlund qttarters at 4449 Second Avenue in Sacramento on February 12.

The beautiful new quarters at 650C F'reeport Blvd', located just past the Sacramento Municipal Airport, occupv a portion of a several-acre plot of land f<lrmerlv used exclusively as a truck terminal for the nine big highrvay rigs operated by Hedlund Lumber Sales Co. Effective June 1, the Hedlund trucking division was renamed Angus Trucking Company, after Superintendent Lloyd Angus.

In addition, a part of the large area used lty the truck fleet also serves as a landing field for the nervest addition to the Hedlund Lumber Sales "air fe1ss"-n recently developed four-place, all-metal exectttive airplane, the Helio Courier.

'Two Homes for Every Fomilyr'Add-o-Room Boom Among Deqler Aids Discussed qt Annucll Plywood Meeting

MANAGING DIRECTOR DIFFORD rold rhe industry's 20ih onnuol meeling of rhe DFPA's fourpronged promotion progrqm

The n'estern fir plyrvood inclustry is shifting its emphasis from do-it-yourself promotion to increased activity in the light construction field in an effort to push plyrvood sales beycind the 7.5 billion feet mark by 1960. This development emerged from a series of actions taken at the Douglas Fir Plyu'oocl Association's 20th annual meeting at (iearhart, Ore. Among other things, the industry:

1. Heard about the development stages of a rrew ap-

DFPA PRESIDENI HOWARD GAR. RISON soid plcnned promotion is lhe onswer to continuing increosed plywood soles

proach to home design and construction intended to enable lumber dealers to sell more building materials including fir plywood to contractors.

2. Saw renderings of new designs in church and school construction produced by architects retained by DFPA in an efiort to capture a greater amount of the booming church-school construction field.

3. Heard of DFPA's program to exploit recreational facilities to keep in tune with the greater leisure time afforded by the social and work pattern in America. This would include the theme of "two homes for every family," one for a base close to r,vork and one for leisure.

4. Heard of the increased activity in the home-expansion field in which DFPA will launch an "Add-a-Room" promotion aimed at the six million families rvho are living in small two-bedroom homes built since World War II.

5. Held an election of officers to direct the association for the coming year.

6. Approved the construction of a nerv building to house expanding research and new products development.

In the home construction field, the DFPA program is beginning to take shape already. Under a plan that is uniclue in the inclustry, the association has developed a new system of home construction that is keyed quickly to the lumber dealer. DFPA recently comnrissioned Los Angeles

Architect Chris Choate, originator of the famed Cliff May panelized system, to work out a system of pre-cutting parts for homes that a dealer can handle without complicating his inventory.

This new approach gives a lumber dealer the merchandising tools and sales aids with which he can sell a house "package" to the co,ntractor. It gives the small contractor a better opporunity to compete with the pre-fabber and big builder, by tying in with the lumber dealer. And it gives the consumer a home in a style or size which he can have built on his own lot at a price that is competitive with a tract home.

The DFPA describes the system as a "minor revolution in the home-building field," primarily aimed at 4A/o of the nation's lumber dealers who are already building homes. Pre-cutting of constrttction materials at the lumberyard, plus careful planning, rvill permit speedier and more efficient materials handling by both dealer and builder, rvhich pays off in faSter construction time.

DFPA expects to provide dealers with presentation

plan books, specifications, materials lists and estimates plus specific directions to the builder on how to use the system for optimum effectiveness.

The first house is under construction in Tacoma, Washington, and tentative plans call for regional promotions of one house at a time.

W. E. Difford says, "We are hopeful that tl-ris pro€Jram over a period of years rvill push the national average to well over several thousand square feet of fir plyrvood per honse." The average national footage nou' is about 400 feet per unit, and Choate system houses n'ill require about 5,000 feet per unit. The managing director also announced that DtrPA has commissioned some of the nation's bestknown school designers and arcl-ritects to develop designs which will lend themselves to modern school construction. He said, "Already, from the preliminary designs we have seen, it is clear that rve are going to make design history in school construction."

Another development in the DFPA promotion is a progr;rm in which other architects have been retained to develop expandable-type church buildings to serve mushrooming suburban areas.

Difford also told the plywood manufacturers that the greater leisure time afforded by the modern social and work pattern of America is creating a nelv and substantial market for plywood. In the "Fir Plyl,r'ood Fleet" program, over 300,000 l>oat plans have been distributed to retail lumber dealers since January. This indicates the rapid boom in boating and the demand for plywood for boat construction. Various types of 'lvater sports equipment have been constructed and plans distributed.

"But the main key to the leisure theme," says Difford, "is the idea of two houses for every family-one for a base close to work and one for leisure. We are going to push this idea hard."

Another point of the DFPA program rvhich will directlv involve the lumber dealer is a plan nor,v in the works to publish designs and instructions on how to remodel and add-a-room. Pointing out the fact that six million postWorld War II homes purchased by returning veterans now need expansion, Difford sairl tl-rat the answer to cramped quarters will be provided in the plans which DFPA will merchandise through lumber dealers. These will be stepby-step instructions to tell the home owner horv to expand his home by adding a room or carport.

The plywood director cautioned, hou'ever, that even with

this extensive promotion, increased attention n.rust be given to quality control of plyu'ood if the 7.5 billion feet mark is to be reached. He notcd that corrplaints on ply'n'ood were often due to non-grademarkecl panels and that the DFI'A membership had recently raised the requirements for both interior and exterior panels by a tighter and more conclusive program of glueline testing.

Follorving NIr. Difforrl's remarks, Gus N. Arneson, general manager of Anacortes Veneer, Inc., announced that the association rvill erect a new building to l.rouse a sul)stantial expansion of its research and technical services. Arnes<ln told the manufacturers that other industries are spending more and more for research and the plvu'ood industry has been derelict in the attention given to reseirrch. The new facilities and additional engineering talent u'ill be turned toward development of ne'tr. plyrl'oocl prriducts and nerv structural applications.

In the industry's annual election, Howard Garrison, former vice-president and general manager of Evans Products Company, Coos Bay, Oregon, was re-elected president of the association. A. W.

Glosed by Blyrh & Co. for R.esclle

San Francisco-Blyth & Co. on July 10 acquired and is reselling all the outstanding stock of Dant & Russell, Inc., Portland, Ore., in a transaction of more than $100,000,000. In the process, Blyth acquired D&R's holding of 45/o ot the stock in Coos Bay Lumber Co. and acquired another 53/o in options from other stockholders.

Chas. R. Blyth said Coos Bay, now in licluidation, has sold its timber holdings to Georgia-Pacific Corp. for about $70 million. Two steamship subsidiary companies of Dant & Russell were sold to Jack R. Dant, vice-president of D&R, for an undisclosed price.

Complete liquidation of both Dant & Russell and Coos Bay Lumber is expected within a year.

Georgia-Pacific President O. R. Cheatham said the acquisition includes 120,000 acres of timber land in western Oregon containing four billion feet of timber, as well as plywood and hardwood plants, lumber manufacturing facilities, equipment and inventories. The bulk of Coos Bay timber properties and facilities will be integrated into G-P's present plywood, paper and forest products operations. It will take about a year to complete the integration, Cheatham said.

Coos Bay, a deep-water Pacific port rvhere the lumber company is located, is adjacent to Georgia-Pacific's timber holdings around Toledo. Coos Bay Lumber Co. had sales of $25 million last year. The Coos Bay Lumber operation u'as shut dolvn early last month for annual vacation and resumed July 16 under G-P management.

The 36lst Terrible Twenty tournament was held at Riviera Country Club June 26. Carsten Woll was our absent host (odt-of-town brass), but we found our way around without him. If we hadn't had good caddies, I doubt some of us would have made it. A missed shot on that man's course and you're gone-and f mean gone.

Dr. Bill Sorey with his 15 handicap was offering a bet that he would break a 100. No takers, fortunately, for he came in with an 81, net 66. George Gartz's 87-14-73 took second place. Play was very light due to vacations, with Fleming sailing his way to Tahiti. He probably will be back in time for the winter season.

More Thon 75O Artend 64th N-AWIA Convention

More than 750 men and women attenddd the 64th annual meeting of the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association at Vancouver, British Columbia, June lB-21. The enthusiasm carried right through to the last day, when some 300 attended an 8 a.m. breakfast at the closing session. This was not only the N-AWLA's first convention in the Dominion of Canada but its very first on the Pacific coast.

The following officers were all re-elected: president, J. Philip Boyd, Boyd & Company, Chicago; first vice-president, Martin T. Wiegand, Wiegand, Inc., Washington, D.C., and second vice-president, Donald R. Meredith, Meredith Lumber, fnc., New York City. By by-law amendment, the office of secretary-directing manager was dis-

solved and Sid L. Darling, who has held this title 20 years, was elected executive vice-president, first man to hold this office in the N-AWLA. Charles J. Fisher of New York was elected secretary. Paul C. Stevens and Donald S. Andrews, Portland, Ore., were reappointed western manager and assistant manager, respectively.

Pre-convention activities on June 18 consisted of the annual directors meeting, their luncheon, and reconvening of the board. The British Columbia Lumber Mfgrs. Assn. hosted an informal reception that evening.

The 64th convention was officially opened at 10 a.m., June 19, with a welcome by His Worship Fred J. Hume, mayor of Vancouver, in the Panorama Roof room of the Hotel Vancouver, where all sessions were held. He was

Excerpts from Address of Presidenf J. Philip Boyd

It is truly remarkable, in my humble opinion, that in the realm of forest products in which the sovereign Dominion of Canada and the United States excel production-wise, nothing more serious than the slight token tariffs interfere with the free interchange of these products betwee,n the two countries . Whil€ there are differences in philosophy, such as Canada's desire to reduce its national debt, and our apparent desire to increase ours, such differences do not interfere with the free interchange of goods and of ideas. Some people on the United States side are not too happy with the ready flow of Canadian lumber into their markets, and this is understandable. However, the production in Canada supplements that of the United States, and together they supp y a very large percentage of the timber requirements of the world. The only reason that they do not supply more of the world's needs is due to the great difference in the standard of living in North America as compared to the rest of the world We are enjoying the greatest attendance at this meeting that the NationalAmerican has ever enjoyed in 64 such annual meetings. . . Because of the fact that this meeting is being held in one of the ce,nters of western production, we have an unusually large attendance on the part of our mili members and mill guests. They are very welcome and we are indeed happy to have them sit in on our discussions.

One of the things that has made me wonder at times in the past, is what seems to be an attitude on the part of some lumber wholesalers which reflects a somewhat defensive position with regard to their business as compared to other segments of the industry. This I cannot understand, as I think this industry would fall flat on its face without the wholesalers. I do not say that it is not of paramount importance to buy and log timber and manufacture it into lumber, nor that it is not of paramount importance to have consumer distribution of this lumber through the retail lumber yard. They are both absolutely essential. But I do not think that either one of them is more essential in the process of transmitting the products of the forests to the ultimate consumer than is the lumber wholesaler. None of these three seg-

ments of the industry could very well exist without the other two. I am very proud to be a wholesaler of lumber, and whilc I do not know, and perhaps it is not linown at all what percentage of lumber moves through the wholesaler, my guess is that it is in the neighborhood of. 7So/s, and without doubt the percentage is increasing. Just how sawmills, numbering many thousands in North America, would get this product to the even greater number of retailers and industrial buyers in North America without the help of the lumber wholesaler is a little bit beyond my comprehension.

And that brings me to a point which is a little delicate but which I see no reason to avoid or evade. And this is directed to a great extent to manufacturers in this part of the world. Do they give the proper recognition to their wholesale distributors? Do they make us a partner in their business, so to speak, or do they hold us to a position where we have to scurry and buy to the very best advantage that we can on each individual purchase? Just remember that wholesalers save the manufacturer a field sales organization; that we save him an extensive and worried credit department; that we save him the wearisome and minute contacts that he would have to maintain to get distribution without us. A little later on, listen to a report that will be made on the results of the cost survey. In the light of this nation-wide survey, it seems to rrte that the mills could e,nsure for themselves an ev€n better type of representation if the wholesaler did not have to scramble so much. Wholesalers should never let the mills forget that. But, at the same time, wholesalers should be prepared to deliver that superior type of service that would be expected of us.

No wholesaler operating with a sales organization, at least east of the Rocky Mountains, can operate on 50/6 ADF. A few of the mills, recognizing the fact that the wholesalers' costs have gone up just like the sawmills, costs, have made adjustments in their sales allowances.

introduced by J. Ward Allen, N-AWLA director in Vancouver, follorn'ing an invocation by Past President Bob Cowles. Other events on the first day's order of business rvere the roll call and reading of minutes, the president's address by Mr. Boyd, secretary's report by Mr. Darling, treasurer's report by Frank S. McNally, and the election of directors, discussion of resolutions, and passing of bylaw amendments.

A capacity audience acclaimed the two main addresses of the meeting, both delivered the first day. H. R. MacMillan, CBE, Vancouver, spoke on "Trading Relations Bet'ween the U. S. and Canada." Arthur H. Motley, New York City publisher, talked on "Use It or Lose It l', Resolutions rvere unanimously adopted as follows: (1) the N-AWLA endorsed the principle of grade-marking all lumber; (2) urged immediate discontinuance of the 3/o federal transportation tax; (3) urged Congress to enact legislation necessary to effect the savings in government operation as contained in the Hoover Commission report, and (4) recommended to Congress passage of S. J. IZI calling for immediate study of traffrc regulations and equipment facilities of rail carriers to avoid or minimize freight car shortages.

The June 20 sessions started with an B a.m. business breakfast at r,vhich new offrcers were introduced and response from visiting association representatives was heard. Nfr. Stevens's Portland report was given next and Don Andrews was introduced to the members. Snark of the Universe Dave Davis spoke next. He told the N-AWLA

delegates of the history and .ivorkings of Hoo-Hoo and drummed for attendance at the big convention next month in San Francisco.

The executive session of the members convened next for a panel discussion on Wholesalers' Problems. Vice-President Wiegand moderated this r,vith the following panel members: west coast-Richard Stetson and J. Ward Allen; midwest-Walter Johnson and L. J. FitzPatrick; east coast Don Meredith and J. Albert Ballin. The discussion rvas proved very stimulating.

The entertainment events on the convention calendar included a dinner dance and pro show at 8 p.m. the evening of June 19 preceded by a get-acquainted cocktail party. W. Howard DeCew of Vancouver was toastmaster and Chief Joe Mathias Capilano of the Squamish Tribe officially inducted Princess Nawla.

For the ladies, a scenic bus drive was provided with high tea at the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club. Manufacturers tours provided choice of five sawmills including a shingle and a plywood operation. For those remaining over the extra day, June 21, an all-day logging camp trip was arranged.

The 65th annual meeting was set for June 10-11,1957, at the Mount Washington hotel in Bretton Woods, N.H. California directors of the N-AWLA include Ed Fountain, Los Angeles, and Lew Godard and Ralph Steele, San Francisco. Many Californians who had earlier been in Victoria for the PCWHDA annual (CLM, 7/L5/50) stayed in Canada for the N-A\\rlAnnual.

Hogon Wholesole Exponds Wirh New Metcrl Producrs Division

The recent r'varehouse expansion announced by Hogan Wholesale Building Nfaterials Co. in Oakland has been follou'ed by the establishment of a NIetal Products division, according to Bob Hogan, general manager of the firm. The nerv division, featuring Almetco pre-glazed aluminum casements and Stanley pre-glazed jalousies, sliding sash and a'rvning windows, is located on Embarcadero St., near the Hogan Wholesale headquarters at 700 Sixth Ave.

Heading up llogan's new pre-glazed aluminum window operation is Al Allison, rvho has had over 1O years' experience in the aluminum casement and awning window business. Roy Andriesse rvill assist Allison in running the Metal Products division and, in addition, the Stanley building specialties representative, Will Jackson, will work closely rvith the Hogan firm in promoting the use of Stanley window products with architects and in helping Northern Calilornia lumber dealers with their architectural requirements.

The Almetco alun-rinum casement is a product of Aluminum Metals Company. The Staniey jalousie, sliding sash and arvning u'indows are manufactured by Stanley Building Specialties-a division of the Stanley Works, one of the nation's oldest and largest manufacturers of hinges and woodworking tools. Hogan Wholesale is Northern Cali.fornia distributor for the Stanley line.

All products of the Hogan Metal Products division are shop-glazed at the Hogan plant and alttminum glazing beads installed. The complete unit is then shipped to the

lumber dealer, ready for installation c,'n the job.

Both Hogan and Allison note that for years practically every lumber dealer has profitably merchandised doublehung 'ivindows; horvever, in recent )'ears, dealers everywhere have been losing aluminum casement windou' installations to the glass houses because rnost of these u'indow units require on-the-job glaz\ng.

The aluminum pre-glazed window unit is the ansrn'er to this problem, Hogan and Allison feel, because dealers may norv service any contractor's windou' requirements u'ith Almetco or Stanley units, ready for installation and priced to compete with any job-glazed rvindorv installation.

In addition to some 200 different styles and standard sizes offered in the four types of pre-glazed aluminurn windou's, Hogan Wholesale's N{etal Products division is also prepared to supply custom sizes upon re<luest.

Left

been the consensus of opinion among' veteran leaders of the fraternity that Jim has managed an outstanding administration in the history of the club and he was so honored at the June 22 meeting when the 125 members present displayed their confidence in his leadership.

The list of officers and committee members unanirnously elected to serve r,vith Jim during the next full year include : Harry Boand, Larry Weiland and Freeman Campbell, first, second and third vice-presidents, respectively; Chuck Lember, secretary-treasurer; Harvey Koll, vice-president, in charge of golf tournaments, and Ole NIay, vice-president, publicity. The awards committee rvill be headed by Harry Boand; chairman of the n"rembership committee, John Osgood; Harry Cole, chairman of the special events committee; l)on Braley, education committee chairman, and the co-chairmen of the special projects committee are Roy Stanton, Dee E,ssley, Larry Weiiand and Rex Oxford. Phil Kelty rvill head the Concatenation team.

The steering committee of tl-re largest Hoo-Hoo club in the world is composed of these 10 veteran members: Roy Stanton, Sr., Dee Essley, J. W. "Fitz" FitzPatrick, George Clough, Ilobert Osgood, Ole May, John Lipani, E,d Bowen, Jerry Essley and Don Bufkin.

The golf tournament attracted 65 members and their guests. Jack Bergstrom shot a 77 lor l61y gross. In the First Flight, George Bradica was first lorn' net w\th a 67 and Fred Calhoun second with a 68. Bill Hanen rvas first lorv net in the Znd flight u'ith a 65, and Ed Davidson was second low r-ret with a 67. Frank Click walked off with 3rd flight honors with a 5.5. The retailer prize, donated by the Atlas Lumber Company, was wol1 by Bernie Dubnow, the Blind Bogey of $32 by John Osgood, and the hole-inone kitty now stands at $69. Birdie golf balls rvill be distributed at the September meeting, Chairman Harvey Kol1 advised.

Following the election, presentation of golf prizes and a fine dinner, "Derby Nite" got underway in full force. The racing event is most popularivith all Black Cats and 50 or 60 lumbermen participated in the "fun-of-the-evening" show. As usual, the horses always n'in, but Chuck Lember u'alks off with the "loot."

Brant family for 37 1'ears from 1899, when Figueroa was an unpaved road that turne4 into a river in rainy weather, the home was a center for ttre young social life in L. A. at the turn of the century. lhe mansion was built in 1893 by Aaron N. Ozrnun, a pioneer Los Angeles lumberman who spared no exp(1nse in its construction. Its reputed cost of $80,000 would be equai to $250,000 at today's building prices. Much of the cost went into magnificent hardwood paneling; a large living room on the main floor is paneled in cherry, the central stairway and hall in fine-grained oak. Some of the panelingcarved Greek 'columns flanking the downstairs fireplaceswas bought by a movie studio; the rest went to the wrecker.

Robert E. lee

On January 19th there is observed throughout the Southland in particular, and through the thinking world in general, the birthday of Robert E. Lee. No American has been more eulogized. The character of the man lends itself to eulogy. Even the stammerer becomes eloquent when he dwells on the memory of that imperishable citizen and warrior.

He was, as most men know, the son of "Lighthorse" Harry Lee, close friend of Washington and gallant supporter of the Father of Our Country. And it was "Lighthorse" Harry Lee who uttered that eulogy of Washington that has become immortal, when he called him "First in peace, first in war, and first in the hearts of his coqntrymen." Robert Lee came naturally by his great personality and h,is lofty talents. He was on€ of the most truly aristocratic men in our history.

General Winfield Scott, under whom Robert Lee served in Mexico, said of him that he was "the greatest military genius in America," and declared that if a great battle were to be fought for the liberty or slavery of our country, he wanted the commander of our forces to be Robert Lee. And this was the sort of man who was offered the supreme command of the Federal armies when the fratricidal war between the states broke out. Robert Lee chose to stand by Virginia. When he was called upon to choose where he should cast his momentous lot, it was said of him by a splendid American: "Since the Son of Man stood upon the mount and saw'all the kingdoms of the earth and the glory thereof' stretched before him, and turned away from them to the agony and glory and bloody sweat of Gethsemane and to the Cross of Calvary beyond, no follower of the lowly Savior can have undergone a more trying ordeal, or met it with higher spirit of heroic sacrifice."

And here are the memorable words of Major John W. Daniel, explaining Lee's choice; words uttered at the unveiling of the recumbent statue of I"ee at Washington and Lee University, that are so sublime in their eloquence that they challenge comparison: "A people is its own judge. Under God there can be no higher judge for them to seek, or court, or fear. In the supreme moments of national life, as in the lives of individuals, the actor must resolve and act within itself alone. The Southern States acted for themselves; the Northern States for themselves; Virginia for herself. And when the lines of battle formed, Robert Lee took his place beside his people, his kindred, his children, his home. Let his defense rest in that fact alone. Nature speaks it. Nothing can weaken it. Nothing can strengthen it. The historian can compile, the casuist may dissect, the statesman may expatiate, the advocate may plead, the jurist may expound; but, after all, there can be no stronger or tenderer tie than that which binds the faithful heart to kindred and to home. And on that tie, stretch-

ing 'from the cradle to the grave, spanning the heavensn and riveted through eternity to the throne of God on high and underneath in the souls of all good men and true; on that rests stainless and immortal, the fame of Robert Lee." What grander epitaph could any man have?

Dining

We may live without poetry, music, and art, We may live without conscience, and live without heart, We may live without friends, we rnay live without books, But civilized man cannot live without cooks. We may live without books-what is knowledge but grieving: We may live without hope-what is hope but deceiving? We may live without love-what is passion but pining? But where is the man who can live without dining?

Long-gell's Voughn Division Sends Huge Peeler log Holf-woy Across Country As Joycee Exhibit, Permcrnenl Forest Disploy

A Douglas fir peeler log from the Long-Bell Lumber Company's Vaughn division, loaded on a Mack logging truck, was the Oregon State Jaycee exhibit and parade entry at the United State Junior Chamber of Commerce convention, Jtne 26, 27 and 28, at Kansas City, Missouri.

The 245-foot tree from which the peeler was selected stood in the valley of the Siuslaw river, 40 miles southwest of Eugene, Oregon. A seedling when Columbus discovered America, and having an annual ring count of 465 years, the merchantable log length of the tree measured 170 feet and scaled 159n feet board measure. The diameter at the base, outside the bark, was eight feet. The ?4-loot peeler log has an average diameter, inside the bark at the butt, of 61 incl-res and 55 inches at the small end. It contains 3,680 board feet and a yield ol 9,2O0 square feet of three-eighths inch plywood.

Loaded on June 1 by Walter K. Andreassen, logging superintendent, where the tree was felled in the Siuslaw Valley, on a truck furnished by John D. Young, district manager, Mack Trucks, Inc., Portland, the peeler was hauled to Vaughn for a final inspection by J. M. White, Jr., general manager, and Charles L. Foster, forester, of the Vaughn division. It then moved to the Eugene retail yard, where it was met by a delegation of local members of the Junior Chamber and r,vas exhibited by Melvin L. Baker, manager of Long-Bell's retail yard.

On June 2, the royal blue and silver truck was on exhibition at Mack Trucks, Inc. in Portland. The following Monday, June 4, in charge of Gerald B. Rucker, who is a Parkrose Junior High School instructor and a successful logging truck driver during summer vacations, and Wayne McCall, of the Cottage Grove, Oregon, public schools, Rucker's assistant, the exhibit started for Kansas City. The route was by Boise, Idaho; Salt Lake City, Utah; to Denver, where, on June 8, the peeler was shown at the Barr Lumber Company by Joel Montgomery, Long-Bell Denver sales representative. Rucker then drove to Colorado Springs for a brief stop, and on Monday, June 11, arrived at the Garden City, Kansas, retail yard.

Beginning rvith Garden City, the peeler and the Mack were routed under the direction of L. G. Everitt, vicepresident, and Tom Hope, manager of advertising and merchandising, Retail department. The exhibit, having

had previous rvide-spread publicity through local newspapers, was met by Junior Chamber of Commerce organizations and the public not only in Garden City, but also as it moved to the Liberal, Kansas, yard and to Oklahoma retail outlets, materials stores, and jobbing houses at Woodward, Fairview, Enid, Hennessey, Kingfisher, Oklahoma City, Ponca City and Blackweil. At Blackwell, Oklahoma, the truck headed back to Kansas, with calls at Caldwell, Wichita, Salina, and to Manhattan, where on June 24 it led the caravan of the Oregon State Junior Chamber of Commerce through Topeka to the national convention headquarters in Kansas City.

During the convention, the Vaughn division Long-Bell peeler and the Mack truck were entered as the Oregon float in the Parade of States at the convention.

Twelve thousand brochures in color, "West Coast Tree Farms-Grot'ing Trees for You," furnished by William D. Hagenstein, executive vice-president, Industrial Forestry Association, Portland, Oregon, together with a like number of folders printed for the Vaughn division, r,vere distributed as the exhibit passed through the Middle-\,'est and in Kansas City. The Vaughn division folder states rvhere the tree grew {rom rvhich the peeler was bucked, facts concerning the log, and includes a brief statement .concerning The Long-Bell Lumber Company, its manufacturing plants, products, sales offices and retail outlets, and the company's contribution to the perpetuation of American forests and America's future lumber supply'

At the close of the convention, the Vaughn peeler log was clelivered to the Retail department in Kansas City, where it will be placed as a permanent show piece'

Heoring on Mechqnics liens

On August 20 and 2I, the Senate Interim Judiciary committee will hold a hearing in Santa Barbara on mechanics liens. The general problem which has been under discussion concerns methods of protecting the homeowner in cases where the contractor h.as received payment of the contract price and has diverted the funds either to another construction job or otherwise.

Dealers are invited to attend this hearing and express their views as to any changes which they believe are desirable in the present mechanics lien law.

The Southern California Retail Lumber Assn. understands there will be a strong pitch at this hearing by the tract builders, building contractors and lending institutions to get the Mechanics Lien Law amended so as to require dealers to advise owners and contractors in writing within five days of the first delivery of their intention to furnish materials to the job; otherwise, they would lose their lien rights on the job. This change must be strongly opposed by all the dealers, otherwise their rights under the Mechanics Lien Law would be severely jeopardized, said the SCRLA. If you wish to appear at this hearing, to express your views, 1'ou should write the Judiciary committee giving the approximate time your presentation will take.

Dealers who do not wish to attend the hearing may advise as to necessary chaages, if any, in the Mechanics Lien Law, supported by any brief or other written document to support their views. Communications should be addressed to John A. Bohn, Counsel, Senate Judiciary Committee, 903 First Street, Benicia, Calif.

A fact that should be stressed is that we ought not to be building homes for older people as such, but well-designed, more flexible homes which would include special features, such as hand rails and a minimum of stairs. Such houses would have features that would be both essential for the aging and also useful and practical for younger people just starting their families. They would be, in effect, small homes that would be attractive and saleable to any small family seeking a modest-sized home, the proposals said.

Riverside Hoo-Hoo has made great strides since its reactivation in 1948 and each member can be prottd of the part he has played in it. Bert Holdren is the current Snark of the club.

The highlight of the JuJy 2A meeting was the showing of "Operation Profit," the net. 43-minute, l6mm sound and color filnl produced by the Hyster Company as a pultlic service to the retail lumber industry. The film describes today's most modern handling methods for retail and rvholesale yards and is dedicated to the retailers rvho are responsible for the movement of 270 billion pounds of lumber, lumber products and building materials annually. The movie shou's how modern materials handling methods can mean increased volume, lolver handling costs and higher net profits. Club II7 members and their guests were thoroughly absorbed in the Hyster film and found it well worthrvhile rvatching.

NRLDA's Norfhup, OHI's Doscher Urge firle | loqn Revisions

FHA's Title I home modernizatton program should be made permanent and should be revised to permit repayment of loans over a five-year period instead of the three years now authorized, declares H. R. Northup, executive vicepresident of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association. "In addition, the maximum loan should be increased to $3500, so as to finance major additions and improvements," Mr. Northup said in a statement to the House Committee on Banking and Currency.

"The Title I progiam has demonstrated its soundness over the past 20 years and has provided a means of fi,nancing home repair for nearly 20,000,000 home owners. This program, which is entirely self-supporting, has played a leading part in improving the comfort and liva-bility of American homes. In 1954 alone, over 1,50O,000 borrowers used property improvement loans insured by FHA," he pointed out.

"By insuring lenders against loss on these loans, the Title I program has had the effect of lowering and stabilizing financing charges on property improvement loans and has greatly stimulated the interest of private lending institutions in this type of loan, which now enables home owners to borrow up to $2500.

"Many families have used Title I loans to expand their living quarters because of an increase in the size of their families or for other reasons. Others have used the program to prevent deterioration of their property," said the NRLDA executive.

Doscher, OHI Director Testifies for Title I Revisions

In testimony before a Senate subcommittee holding hearings on the Administration's nerv housing bill, John R. Doscher, executive director of Operation Home Improvement, urged placing the government's T.itle I home improvement loan program on a permanent basis and liberalizing loan provisions of the 1954 Housing Act. Speaking as a representative of the building and home equipment industries which are supporting the national OHI campaign to improve or modernize 20,000,0@ non-slum U. S. homes this year, Doscher told members of the Housing Subcommittee of the Senate Banking and Currency Committee that such changes in legislation "lvill have a great effect in stimulating more people to improve their homes."

Doscher noted that the proposed change in the loan limit from three to fir'e years rvould allolv the homeowner to pay $27.89 less per month for a $2500 loan and $7 less per month for a $3500 loan. He told the senators that the availability of sufficient credit .u'as crucial to the success of the yearlong Operation Home Improvement drive. "The American people," he said, "have been sold on everything else except improvir-rg their homes."

Western Pine Kitchens, PloYrooms

Populor in Home Plonning

Kitchens and play or family rooms, both in planned nern' homes and homes to be remodeled, are choice locations for using the Western Pines, according to a survey recently completed by the Western Pine Association. Living rooms rvcre rated the next most important spot {or using the woods, though many replies in the survey indicated Western Pines were wanted in two or three rooms in the homes' The survey was tnade by enclosing questionnaires rn'ith copies of the association consumer publication, Friendly Home Ideas in Western Pine. These drew response from home pianners in all walks of liie throughout the United States. The respondents indicated they liked Western Pine for both paneling and cabinetwork, with doors and windorvs also highly rated.

Surprisingly, the survey showed many of the homes to be remodeled comparatively young' with nearly half of them less than eight years old. Nearly half of the remodelers indicated they were planning to change present rooms, two out of five planned to add rooms or storage space, and many indicated attic or basement finishing was planned.

Ninety percent of the new home planners reporting indicated they would rather have their homes built to their orvn specifications than buy them already built. They indicated house designs would be by themselves, by architects or by builders, in that order. Designs from magazines were mentioned. More than a third of the new home planners, the survey showed, plan to do at least a part of the car-

pentry work themselves. A quarter indicated they would do none of the carpentry, and I8/o planned to build the entire home themselves.

Sixty percent of the remodelers, however, planned to do all the carpentry work themselves. One out of five planned to do only part of the carpentry, and 11 per cent indicated they planned to do no carpentry at all.

Most popular age bracket for all respondents was the 3039 class.

The Western Pine "idea" book has been distributed to more than 200,000 persons, the association reported. Not only is it distributed to consumers responding to the association's national advertising program, but it also is used by retail dealers as sales helps. Single copies of the 24page booklet, in color and black and white, are free. Quantity rates are available. Address the Western Pine Association, 510 Yeon Building, Portland 4, Oregon.

Nexf Yeor's ldeqs for Deqlers ol This Yeor's NRIDA Exposition

Almost every new and profitable trend in store selling can be seen or heard at the National Retail Lumber Dealers' Exposition in Chicago, Decernber 10 to 13. "Merchandising is apt to steal the shorv this year," said Watson Malone III, Exposition Clinic chairman. "We have recruited both professional store planners and successful lumber merchants to present fresh store display ideas and sound store management techniclues in a series of clihics designed specifically for store-minded dealers."

Dealers and store managers alike will gain from the dramatic 35x90-ft. "Profit-Maker" Store, rvhich rvill rise on the Exhibition floor at the International Amphitheatre. This full-scale model showroom, complete rvith store iront, is sponsored by NRLDA, as one of a series of Exposition features.

Retail Planning, Cost Controls

Even the best designed showroom can fail through faulty management or neglect of retail cost controls. For this reason, said Phil Creden, Exposition chairman, the NRLDA show tl-ris year will headline an important dealer clinic on site planning, markets, pricing and markups, accounting, etc.-what the Exposition schedule calls the "Management Side of Merchandising." A panel of experts will explore store management methods in a morning rvorkshop session at the Conrad Hilton hotel for management personnel oniy.

for stores, as well as management benefits of self-selection displays for lumber. Dr. Wm. Davidson, author of textbooks on retailing principles, will cliscuss markup procedures, accounting, and related cost controls from management's standpoint. Three lumber merchants rvill fill out the panel.

Other merchandising clinics in the planning stage include a power tool show at the International Amphitheatre, a morning workshop on kitchen merchandising, and a clinic on Operation Home Improvement selling methods. Hundreds of new manufacturers' displays will be seen among the product exhibits.

Under a recently announced registration plan, the registration fee for all four davs is $15.

N-AWLA President in Strong Speech

service During the past year this has been drastically changed with new advertising counsel, and a definite shift in emphasis. It is now being directed primarily through the trade press for its effect on all segments of the industry. This direction was recommended by several of our members. The results during the past few months have been very surprising, and have resulted in a rather remarkable inquiry both from buyers and sellers. In the meantime. the use of the National-American seal, featur,ed in the advertising, is being used by more and more members in their business papers, and also in their own advertising. The results in a relatively short time have been very encouraging.

I think it fitting at this time to mention the very controversial order issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission this spring, and known as Service Order No. 910. This, as you all know, deals with transit routings. You should all know thoroughly the position of the National-American Association on this matter.

A number of our members in the west particularly, many of whom are here today, feel that this order would most definitely restrict their business, and perhaps ruin it. This position the Association took full recognition of.

On the other hand, there are many members of the Association who either do not participate in transit business, or who perhaps do so on a small scale because they feel that they are forced to do so by the competi-

tive situation. These members approved of the objective of Order No. 910, being convinced that it could only help them, particularly in times of short car supply. The method by which the order was put into effect, and the way in which it would be administered i,nsofar as shippers of other commodities as well as lumber is concerned, are subjects of real difference of opinion. But the fact remains that within the organization there was a distinct and sharp cleavage of opinion as to the reasonableness and the necessity of the objective of this order.

I do not believe that it is necessary to more than point

out to you what the position of this Association had to be under the circumstances. The Association could not take a position pro or con on this controversial subject. ft was akin to the question of whether lumber should be green or dry, some of you people think it should be one and some the other. That is the reason that the Association took no positio,n one way or the other on this order, and we wanted you to understand what was done and why.

While a small minority of people in responsible positions seem to share some of my uneasiness over the general situation, the majority of business and governme,nt

people seem to feel that w€ are in a period of sustained prosperity. This may be tempered by occasional short term set-backs, but they feel that barring a war' that we cannot avoid enjoying a period of general good business for perhaps the next ten years. They feel the expanding population and the demand for an increased standard of living cannot help but result in the absorption of a great portion of our productivity, if not all of it. They point out that the population increase alone is creating and will continue to create a demand for housing, public buildings, all kinds of transportation, and all consumer goods, which will almost automatically expand our economy.

Robert N. Kelly, general sales manager of M and M Wood Working Co., Portland, Ore., and Martin N. Deggeller, president and general manager of Harbor Plywood Corp., Aberdeen, Wash., were re-elected to their posts as DFPA trustees. New members of the Board of Trustees were Roy A. Gould, president of Diamond Lumber Company, Portland, Ore., and Enar Erickson, general manager, Peninsula Plywood Corporation, Port Angeles, Wash.

The meeting heard a report by Arnold Koutonen, chairman of the DFPA management committee, who urged the industry to maintain its present high standards of plywood quality or face the prospect of serious market problems. Koutonen and Garrison were moming speakers at the meeting. Koutonen took note of the fact that temporarily productive capacity of the 111 mills comprising DFPA had olrtrun demand. He described this as "typical of a growth industry such as plywood."

But, said Koutonen, prospects for plywood, now one of the leading northwest industries, are far from gloomy. Last year, he noted, the industry produced and sold more than 5 billion square feet of fir plywood, setting an all-time record. Despite a temporary slump this spring, productio,n is considerably ahead of last

year. The market is firming up and prospects for the latter half of 1956 are good, Koutonen said.

Garrison traced recent growth of the industry from 1953, when capacity was slightly better than 3 billion square feet. By 1954, capacity was 4.4 billion feet and during the Golden Jubilee year just passed, sales and production topped the 5 billion square feet mark, Garrison said.

The answer to continuing increased sales is in a "tightlyorganized, well-planned, overall industry sales promotion effort such as is being carried on yearly by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association," Garrison declared.

Economist Predicts Healthy Building general up-trend in the nation's economy which will up plywood demand for the rest of the year and will

build up to a 25/o rise in plywood sales by 1966 was predicted by E,conomist Charles F. Roos in an address before the annual meeting of the DFPA. Dr. Roos, who is head of the Economic Institute in New York,. told over 250 plywood manufacturers that the demand for their product will continue firm because of several factors which will stimulate activity in the construction and business fields. Some of these reasons are:

1. A 10% rise in wage levels before the end of the year and continued high employment.

2. A general relaxation of the Federal Reserve Board's tight money policy which has already begun in the form of more available credit.

3. A 16% rise in population over the next ten years.

4. A 23% annual rise in construction activity in the

U. S. over the next ten years. New housing will be especially accelerated after 1960 due to the high birth rate of the early 40's. And the economist said that after 1970, the still higher birth rate of the 1950's will add further impetus to new home construction.

Dr. Roos pointed out that in addition to the need for new homes for new families, the rising number of households that own more than one dwelling unit and the increased construction of seasonal homes u'ill also help to push consumption of fir plywood higher.

In addition, factors such as clearance for new highway right-of-ways plus other demolition and accidental destruction are presently destroying from 250 to 300 thousand homes annually. These homes must be replaced.

Dr. Roos said that the combination of the above factors suggests that new home starts will be in the range of from 1.2 to 1.3 million annually for the next ten years. In the l97l-75 period, new housing starts may be expected to average at least 1.6 million per year.

The economist also foresees an increased demand for plywood for commercial buildings such as offrces, stores, warehouses, and garages. A factor which will contribute to this rise is increased funds set aside by corporations and companies for depreciation and depletion which will be used for construction and remodeling.

Besides these increased market prospects, Dr. Roos pointed out that the plywood industry has shorn'n itself to be highly resourceful in obtaining new markets on its own initiative. The economist concluded by saying, "The ply-

A,NNOUNCE THE FORMATION OF A PARTNERSHIP UNDER THE FIRM NAME OF

wood industry of the past five years did not show its tremendous growth merely because its customer's business expanded. The industry actively developed new rnarkets. Even only moderate further success along these lines will insure continued high rates of operation during the next ten years and beyond."

Safety Awards Presented

The vital factor of safety in fir plywood mills was recognized with three safety awards at the annual meeting of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association at Gearhart, Oregon. The first annual Carlton L. Smith Memorial Safety Awards were made to plywood mills of the United States plywood Corporation, Georgia-Pacific Corporation and Weyer-

haeuser Timber Company. Carlton L. Smith was a wellknown sales manager for Menasha Plywood Corporation and was a strong advocate of safety training in fir plywood mills. Smith died in 1952, and the safety awards were created in his name.

First place in the third division (plants that work 500,000 manhours or more annually) went to the Springfield, Oregon, plywood plant of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company. Plant superintendent Willard Burrell accepted the plaque for his plant, which has worked 640,269 manhours with only trvo lost-time accidents.

The Santa Barbara John M. Ahern county county supervisors have appointed building executive.

Coloveros Completes lts Fifth Kiln to Insure o Steody Supply of Cement

A giant fifth kiln r,vhich will add one million barrels of cement to the annual production of the Calaveras Cement Company plant at San Andreas was placed in operation June 13. The kiln and its related equipment will boost production capacity of the Calaveras plant to more than 4,500,000 barrels of cement per year, making it one of the largest cement plants in the United States.

The kiln will be closely watched by engineering experts who regard it as a forerunner of automation

in the cement industry. It introduces specially designed instruments that eliminate almost all of the human checks on operation vvhich would normally be required.

Clinker from the kiln was stockpiled until July 15, after rvhich it rvill be ground into cement in nerv finish mills.

The kiln began producing exactly 355 days after the order for it was placed. Normal construction time for a kiln of its size ranges from 14 to 18 months. Calaveras saved time by having the kiln shell fabricated ir-r the San Francisco yards of Bethlehem Pacific instead of in the east. and by assembling it rvith the help of three shifts (Walsh Construction Co.) working around the clock.

Wm. Wallace Mein, Jr., Calaveras president, said the project rvas rushed to help insure a steady supply of cement in northern and central California during the summer months when construction activity is high.

"We've had to cope with severe cement shortages during each of the past several years, but hope that from now on we'll be able to ship our customers all the cement they need," he said.

Although the kiln is 360 feet long, has a diameter of 1l feet 3 inches, and weighs 500 tons, it turns at the push of a button. All of its operation is automatic. It even calls for an attendant if it needs help.

To maintain its burning temperature of 28000 F, the

kiln uses 3,000 cubic feet of natural gas per minute. This is enough fuel to cook Sunday dinner in 5O homes.

The Calaveras fifth kiln is the major item in a 94,0@,000 plant expansion program that is increasing the company's production by 30/o.

Other items in the program include new cement storage silos, slurry tanks, crusher, coolers, electric precipitator, multiclone, ra.w and finish mills, materials handling ecluipment, and neu' shops, offrces, and warehouse.

The crew at Big Lagoon Plant No. 3 sawmill of the Hammond Lumber Company and the crew which does the logging for this operation have both completed over 2 full year of work with no lost-time accidents.

Partners Fred C. Talbot, Jr. and Joseph T. Shipman, Jr. have formed the Talbot Lumber Company, 819 A Street, San Rafael, California. The new wholesale lumber concern, which has also been appointed Northern California representative for Big River Lumber Company at Ukiah, will specialize in mixed truck-and-trailer loads and rail shipments of green redwood and fir. In addition, the firm will handle all species of west coast forest products on a direct mill shipment basis.

The new partnership brings together two men well known throughout the lumber industry of the West, Talbot being formerly connected with Pope and Talbot, Inc., and Shipman with Cloverdale Redwood Co. as salesmanager.

Joe Shipman, a graduate of the University of Oregon and a Marine Corps veteran, has had years of both production and sales experience lr'ith several California and Oregon sawmills. He at one time rvorked for C. D. Johnson Lumber Company at Portland and, from 1950 to 1952, rvas with Twin Harbors Lumber Company, both at Eureka and Grants Pass, Oregon. In 1952, Shipman joined Hollow Tree Redrvood Company, rvhere he rvas mill salesmanager at Ukiah, prior to taking over as salesmanager at. Cloverdale Redrvood.

Talbot, who began a career of lumber prior to WWII rvith Pope & Talbot, Inc., at St. Helens, Oregon, has spent his entire lt'orking life in lumber, with the exception of a stint rn''ith the air corps during WWIL After receiving his "reDrieve," Talbot spent three years in Seattle as as-

sistant manager of the Puget Mill division of pope & Talbot. He later went to its Portland sales oflices for tu,o years, and then was transferred to Neu. York as assistitnt manager of P&T's of6ce there. For the first six months of 1955, Talbot was a director oi the Forest products Division, BDSA, Dept. of Commerce, in \\rashington, D. C. and, until joining forces rvith Shipman, had been the California representative for Eaton-Young Lr.rmber Company, of Den_ ver and E,ugene.

Boy Areq Strike Shorr-Lived

San Francisco, Calif .-10,000 carpenters struck major construction projects in San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda and Nlarin counties July 9 in a drive for higher wages and a shorter work day' The short-lived strike rvas settled three days later. Many laborers lvere laid ofi before the settlement but, had it continued for trvo weeks, about 25,000 craftsmen would have been thrown out of work' Building valued at more than $10O,000,000 was tied up in the labor standstill.

Bay area business agents of the carpenters' local were trying to sign up individual contractors on contracts calling for a 1S-cent hourly wage hike, a 1O-cent per man-hour employer contribution for a vacation fund after Sept' 1, and an agreement to grant a 7-hour day at eight hours' pay if employment fell off.

Wood Preseryers Lecrrn of New Trends crf WWPOA Meeting

Outstanding authorities in the field of rvood preservation attended a meeting of the Western Wood Preserving Operators Association in Portland June 5 to.discuss matters of vital importanc€ to their industry and of great interest to Western development.

The meeting was presided over by Ralph F. Dreitzler, recently elected to the executive board of the American Wood Preservers' Association. Others in attendance were W. W. Jackson, a director of West Coast Lumbermen's Association and general sales manager, J. H. Baxter Company, San Francisco; Charles McCorrnick, Jr., McCormick & Baxter Creosoting Company, Portland; Vic Monahan, Cascade Pole Company, Tacoma; Don Mitchell, Koppers

Company, Inc., Wood Preserving Division; A. X. Baxter, J. H. Baxter Company; Robert Graham, Oregon Forest Products Laboratory, and the luncheon speaker, Robert E. Mahaffay, director of advertising and trade promotion, West Coast Lumbermen's Association.

The group discussed an American Wood Preservers' Institute report submitted recently to the Building Research Advisory Board in Washington, D. C', for consideration by the F.H.A., entitled "How to Prevent Decay and Termite Attack in Houses." It is accompanied by comparable records sholving that pressure-treated materials can practically eliminate the present annual $500 million damage created by these attackers.

The group also revierved the continuous research being conducted by the industry to improve preservatives and methods of impregnation. Interest was also engendered by the report of W. R. Bond, district engineer for the American Wood Preservers' Institute, in his review of the developments and trends in the wood preserving industry. Bond advises that the capacity of industry plants has been developed so that it is now abofi 35/o greater th,an the demand. He points out that pressure treatment of posts for highway and railroad rights-of-way, farm and home fences, garden retaining walls and similar uses u'ould more than continuously fill this unused capacity, but that the industry must first solve the problem of economic production and distribution.

towards adoption and use of the industry-sponsored "Rigid Post" method of construction. Originated as an economic method for constructing farm buildings, it spread rapidly into use for industrial buildings and is now being considered for homes and schools. Pressure-treated poles or posts set into the ground to specified depths and on regular modules provide the entire foundation and frame of the building. This eliminates costly formwork and foundations, economizes and speeds construction. Cost-wise, it has revolutionized the farm and industrial building field and the wood preservers are confident that its possibilities in these and the home and school field is unlimited.

Paul Christerson, Manager of Pope-Talbot, Inc., Wood Preserving division, remarked upon the discrepancy in

time and knowledge of r,vood and rvood preservation available to engineering and architectural students. This meeting will be followed later by similar meetings in Seattle and in San Francisco.

tinue at record levels. Nationwide, supplies of building materials should be adequate, with increased plant capacity and high productivity preventing all but minor or spot shortages. Construction costs are expected to continue to rise moderately. Prospects are that private construction outlays in 1956 w'ill total about the same as in 1955-$31 billion. Public spending for new construction is expected to advance 9c/a to $131 billion.

It now appears that about 1,150,000 new private nonfarm dwelling units will be started this year. This compares with an earlier estimate of 1,200,000 for 1956, and a 1955 total of 1,310,000. On a seasonally adjusted basis, private starts during the first five months of this year were at an antrual rate slightly below 1,150,000. The proiect $1394 billion of expenditures on privately owned new dwelling unit construction in 1956-8/' below the $l5-billion record level of 1955reflects a partial offsetting of the effects of the anticipated l2/o drop in dwelling units started by a rise in construction costs and a continuing trend toward larger homes with more quality features.

The decline in new homebuilding is expected to be greater than previously anticipated because funds for long-term, low downpayment mortgages at low interest rates, have remained relatively scarce for a longer period than was foreseen last November.

Harry Hood became associated n'ith Pacific u'hen the firm purchased the mill and certain timber holdings of the old Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company in 1950. Hood

The postcard illustrated here is an exampie of how "legends" sometimes grorv in our industry. Turning back the pages almost 12 years, here is a note Harry Hood u'rote about it to E. J. Stewart of the Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Co. in Eureka on November 2, 1914:

"Dear Joe: On tl.re way dou'n from Eureka last time, rvhile at Lane's Flat, I picked up the enclosed postcard, rn,hich is very interesting and, as far as I have been able to learn, more interestir.rg than true ; ho'n'ever, u,ould aitpreciate your letting me knou' u,hether or not you have ever heard 'the story' u'hich is told by this postcard."

(The rcadinq nxatter at th,e left of the card says: In 1915 a notable En.rllishm.an, who h,ad traaeled i.n America, zuas at a batrquet in London witlx 64 of his coutttrymett.

M&D Store Fixtures New Firm

The N'I & D Display Manufacturing Calif., has changed its firm name to M & Inc., effective last month.

had spent several years in the sales department with Dolbeer & Carson and, following the purchase, continued the same work with Pacific. From December 1950 until July 1955, he represented TPL in the San Joaquin Valley and Central Coast counties. In July 1955, Hood moved into Pacific's 100 Bush Street San Francisco offices as assistant rvestern sales manager.

Mr. Nolan's retirement terminates a career u'ith Pacific rvhich began 46 years ago. It rvas interrupted in 1916 but, since 1920, he had been continuously rvith the company.

"Dear Harry: The research department has been busy on your log section. Mr. \Varren Stervart, who is our night hostler at the camp, u'as the engineer on the train that moved this section of log to Mad River Slough, rvhere it u'as loaded onto a iighter and moved to Eureka. It rvas then loaded on the old steam schooner, National City, and taken to San Francisco, for reloading on another boat to be sent to England. The man standing in front of the picture is Frank Morrell, a blacksmith for the Var-rce Company who is still living in E,ureka. This section \vas cut from a stump and, after being taken out of the u'oods, r.r'as rvorked over and made smooth on both sides by a crew of rvoodsmen under the direction of Abner Young, woods foreman for the Vances. The section came from the Vance camp near Fieldbrook and not from Carson's, in about the ye:rr of 189+."

Diqmond Mqtch to Build Yqrd

Fairfield, Calif.-The Diamond Match Company has been granted a permit to construct a new lumber outlet on Texas street here over the protests of 45 residents who signed a petition against the location. Tl-rey declared that the site was on Fairfield's main street, at the entrance to the city, and that the nature of the business would mean "unsightly" buildings and yards as well as "noise and dirt." They also protested that a traffic hazard would result from congestion of trucks delivering and picking up merchandise.

$316,7321545 Forest Products Snles by Weyerhoeuser in 1955

Tacoma-The United States Forest Service's survey of the nation's forests, the Timber Resource Review, recently released, clearly shou's that American forestry has made tremendous strides in the last 20 years, and is meeting the challenge of expanding markets, stated J. P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr., president of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company. He said that 1955 had been the company's most successful year and predicted a good demand for forest products during 1956, based on forecdsts of recor<i activity in the construction industry and a high level of general prosperity.

Sales of forest products were $316,732,545 in 1955, compared with $262,496,948 in 1954. Net income was $49,241,030. Taxes in 1955 amounted to $41,885,875.

The company had 14,427 employes at the end of 1955an increase of 930 during the year. Employee earnings in 1955 lvere $72,078,93A. The average annual earning of hourly employes reached a new high of $+,752.

Forest products sales for the year consisted of lumber, $180,492,296; pulp and paperboard, $96,891,725; plywood, $18,322,894; other, $21,025,630. The sales volume of each

of the three major classifications in 1955 represented nerv highs.

The company's lumber production was tyt 23o/o over 1954. Plywood production increased 25/o in the same period and pulp and paperboard volume was up l5'/o.

Weyerhaeuser Timber Company n611' produces four tons of pulp for each ton it produced ten years ago, and that this increase has been accomplished u'ithout significant drain on timber resources. The u'ood supply for pulp has been obtained principally from greater utilization of sau'mil1 and logging leftovers, forest thinnings and previously unused species oI timber.

Expenditures in 1955 for additions to plants, equipment and roads totaled $26,277,796. The most significant developments took place in the Grays Harbor-Willapa Harbor area of Washington, where work rvas begun on a 40o-ton per day sulphite pulp mill at Cosmopolis, and on a new modern sa'ir,mill at Raymond to replace the present old facilities. In addition a new green cargo lumber mill at Aberdeen rvas acquired in connection with an exchange of timberland in this area. When the pulp mill is completed in 7957.1og production rn'ill be increased to a point approximating tl-re allorvable annual cut on company lands in the region.

The report also emphasized Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's forestry, research and development programs directed toward obtaining the maximum yield from forest lands and the manufacture of more diversified products to more completely utilize the company's forest resources.
