Otis R. Johnson Cired

The editorial column of The Paul Bunvan News. Fort Bragg, California, last month cited the late head of the Union Lumber Company rvith the follorving tribute :

"The passing of Otis R. Johnson closed a career that spanned the transition of the lumber industry from the lusty, brarvling era of the donkey engine and the steam schooner to modern-day lumberlng i'hich has become, in a literal sense, a farming operation. The vision of Mr. Johnson, and his father before him, and those about him, rvho foresa.n' the end of lumbering as it rvas fifty years ago and took steps to insure, through a_ J)rogram of conservation and forest management, the perpetuity of the lumber industry, .rvill loom large rn years t() come. As NIr. Johnson did much to insure the future of his company, so did he also do much to insure the future economic stabilitv of this entire region. For this lve-and our children-are indebted to his memory."

Winton'Pockoged Lumber' Speeds up Unloqding Time ot O'Molley's Tempe Ycrrd

What is believed to be the first load of packaged lumber delivered in Arizona was recently unloaded at the O'Malley Lumber Company's Tempe yard, and company officials are most enthusiastic about the potential that such package delivery has for time, labor and cost savings.

A harbinger of things to come for lumber handlers, this packaged load of 34,746 board feet of Winton kiln-dried White Fir r,vas unloaded in the amazrng time of t hour, 11 minutes by just two men ! The car \\ras shipped from the Winton Lumber Mill in Diamoncl Springs, Calif.

James C. O'Malley, vice-president and general manager of the lumber company, believes that the time can be cut even more sharply on future deliveries as his crerv learns their job better. A telephone pole on one side of the car hampered unloading, and the pole has been removed so as not to interfere 'ivith future oDerations.

The standard double-door bo*ca. was unloaded from both sides. A 10,000-lb. capacitv S-10 Gerlinger fork lift was used. The only other equipment r,vas trvo 3"x42" pipes for rollers.

Mr. O'Malley, who is chairman of the Materials Handling cornmittee of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, u'as pleased with the excellent condition of the lumber on arrival. Shifting of the load u'as less than 1 foot. he said, and there was no coring or broken straps.

The Winton mill used Acme steel straos.-and follou'ed the Acme recommendations for binding anl interlacing the packages to minimize shifting of the load.

Glen L. Butler, vice-president and sales manager for Winton Lumber Sales Co., points out that packaged lumber has many advantages for retailers. In addition to tirne and labor savings in unloading, lumber arrives in better condition and conserves storage space. Far less time is spent on damage claims and demurrage costs are greatly reduced, since less time is spent on spurs or sidings.

The 160 ft.-frontage, 200 ft.-deep site of the lumberyard, rr-hich u'as rebuilt tn 7923 after fire destroyed the original yard, rvas closed last year and the property purchased by Steve Chorak, former theatre o\\'ner, and a syndicate of local businessmen.
