Rapidly advancing prices in green fir d'imension and boards caused the sharpest increase in Crow's Lumrber Price Index since early May. Production remained low in July due to mill vacaition shutdowns, while demand from he east and midwest continued relatively h,igh due to new housing starts, with many consuming areas showing sign,s of renewed activity at the retail level. The sudden increase in the demand for boards came as a result of higher plywood sheathing prices, which is o,iten used for the same purpose as boards, and is expected ito remarin at a high point till the critical srhortage of plywood is eased; rough sheathing continued to be very dfficult to buy for prornpt shipment.

,A, Notionol Plywood Distributors Pond"r4ffi W Business Conditions of Coronodo

Coronado, Calif.-The general upturn in the national economy is helping solve plywood industry problems, but future plywood production more closely geared to demand is essential for market 1-realth and continued industry growth, the National Plywood Distributors Association 1958 annual was told by Owen R. Cheatham, chairman of the board of Georgia-Pacific Corporation.

Starting Sunday, June 22, and continuing through \Aredtresday, June 25, more than 280 members of the NPDA, their wives and families relaxed in the beautiful surroundings of Hotel del Coronado, on Coronado Islar.rd, and enjoyed the ir-rcomparable weather and luxurious facilities of this world-famous resort. From every angle, including hard work and fun, the convention was a tremendous success, according to Mahlon S. Nlunson, nervly elected managing clirector ancl secretary-treasurer of the association.

Promptly at 9 :30 Nlonday moming, June 23, NPDA President Albert Hersh opened the conclave by welcoming all members and presenting new members to tl-re group. He then got right don,n to the business at haud arrd introdncecl tl-re principal speaker of the clay, Cyrrrs B. Su'eet, Fecleral Housing Aclministration cleputy commissioner.

"Ilome builcling is one of the brightest spots in the business outlook," said X'Ir. Su'eet, the former Califomia lumber dealer. I{e predicted there .lvill be betrveen 1,200,000 and 1,300,000 new homes built in the United States in 1958. "The volume of FHA home mortgage insurance applications has been rising steadily eacl-r month of this year, an<l all signs point to a continuatiorr of the u1>u.arcl trencl." he cleclared.

Sweet said the building activity will be reflected in the plywood business and in that of industry in general. llome building sets up a chain reaction, spurring business in many other channels of industry besides l-rousing, he declared. He pointed to the recent about-face in tl-re mortgage market, the increasing optimism among builders, the improved quality of present-day homes, and the liberal financing terms provided under FHA and VA programs, as factors that are making home buying easier. His optimistic viewpoints were received witl-r enthusiasm by the first day "full house" turnout.

Follorving the address by Commissioner Sweet, the calenclar of events for tl-re mornir.rg session included talks by George NI. Pardee, Jr., partner in Pardee Construction Company; Ii,aymoncl G. Booty, president, Booty Resineers Division, American-N arietta Company, and Joseph R. Jones, vice-president, Security-First National Bank, Los Angeles, n'hose subject \\'as "A Look Ahead From the Viewpoint of a Banker." Nf r.

for the park structures but all the lumber and interior finishes for the restaurant buildings as well. This, of course, required that "extra" super service which Tom Fox claims secured the job for his yard in the first place.

It also created new jobs at the Fisher yard to help service regular customers and expedite delivery 24 hours each day to the Ocean Park.

During the eight months it required to complete the remodeling and building program at the Ocean Park Pier, Bob Sievers was on hand at the project to assist George W. Ewing, purchasing agent for the Los Angeles Turf -Club, fnc., who was charged with all procurement of building materials. Bob was on the job every day of the week to see that Fisher lumber arrived on schedule as promised.

"We are throughly convinced it was our service attitude that maintained customer relations on the iob that created

the 'togetherness' that helped us carry this challenge through to completion," sairl Tom Fox.

In line with the e-xpansic-,u program rrow it.t progress at John W. Fisher Lumber Company, three nerv emploves have been added to the staff. Dick Snicler. for the past 12 years identified in retail lumber sales in F-clrnonton, Alberta. Canada, and sales manager for a wl-rolesale remauttfactttring concern for seven years, has movecl his family to Santa Monica and 'lvill l-randle yard sales for the retail cotrcern. Willianr Romney, formerly with the Romney Lumber Co., Salt l.ake City, has also decided to make Santa Mor.rica his home. He will handle hardu'are ar.rd lumber sales for Fisher. And last, but not least, Bud rr\-alling, for the past two decacles identified in retail lumber sales in the Sar-rta Monica area, has been named assistant general manager to help Tom and Bob in both admir.ristration and sales.

"We have an organization that is hard to beat. Every marr and woman is an expert in the field of customer service," declares Ton-r Fox.

Rip Wouldn't Believe It

An original-thinking young lawyer-businessman named Dillon Anderson made a talk recently that had lots of business thinking in it.

He talked about what a modern "Rip Van Winkle" would think if he had fallen asleep 20 years ago-in 1938and just awakened. Rip, according to this speaker, would think we were all nuts if we talked about our present situation being a recession.

In 1938 we had been in the big depression for more than eight years. One out of every five workers was unemployed. The national income was under 90 billions of dollars. Today it is over $430 billion. Half the automobiles in the country in 1938 were over ten years old, and looked like Noah's arks. There were no television sets to speak of, few high-fidelity sets, no jets, plastics were unknown. Things looked sad.

Looking at the country today, Rip Van Winkle would refuse to believe in a recession. He would say: "You are {oolish people; you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. People never had it so good." And he might add: "You are so spoiled by the miraculous events of recent years that you have forgotten the lesson every generation must learn -wealth can only be provided by work and resourcefulness. If you are to prosper more, you may have to work a little harder."

And Mr. Anderson remarks on his own hook that he has no understanding of economists or others "who explain how the government is going to produce a turn-around and foster another boom. I do not even understand how the government has anything of value except what it takes away from

Los Angeles June Building

Sefs 552,433,125 R.ecord

New construction in Los Angeles last month topped all prior June records with building-permit valuations ol $52,433,125, reported G. E,. Morris, general manager of the Building and Safety Dept. This compares to $49,346,194 in the same month last year, the previous June high.

The city's {irst six-month figure hit $304,884,661, a $26 million gain over 1957's same span of. $278,860,079.

Los Angeles County and the 21 cities served by the County Building Dept. dropped to $22,095,817 from the $29,172,602 recorded in June 1957. County Engineer John A. Lambie said the 1958 drop reflected the decline in tract houses compared with last year.

The city's largest gain was in the West Los Angeles area, with the San Fernando Valley also showing a slight gain.

those who produce. I am old-fogey enough to believe that the government has no source of wealth to put into the economy except what it takes out of the economy."

He added: "When we accept the fact that there are ups and downs in the free-business cycle, we are free to contemplate and strive for the next upward swing. I believe that when it comes it will come surging upward from the productiveness of American industry, commerce and agriculture, and not from artificial tinkering by the bureaucrats

lnferest ond Dollqr Volume ot Home Show Surprises Everybody

General Manager Carl F. Kraatz reported exhibitors handling major items at the recently ended Los Angeles Home Show did better business than a year ago, while five and 10-cent products did worse than in 1957. He announced sales averaged around $1,500,000 per day on the floor for an ll-day total of approximately $16,500,000. This was nearly $3,000,000 more in sales than '57.

Kraatz predicted that post-show buying that often continues for a year will hike the overall business volume to around $45,000,000. Last year, the figure was $41.250,000.

Equally significant, he pointed out, 1958's attendance was the iecond highest in the l3-year Home Show, hitting 221,536-4,000 over 1957. Most expositions of this type have been ofi from tS/o to 2O/o throughout the country.

Alcoa, which unveiled its revolving aluminum and glass beach house. said it received so much interest that it has

signed a contractor to build the unique $25,000 structure. Geoplex Enterprises, Anaheim, California, which introduced the plywood dome home, sold one the very first day and reports spectacular interest in the dwelling as an extra room, mountain or beach hideaway,

The plumbing industry and firms doing new .kitchens reported the highest interest in years in major jobs of remodeling bathrooms, adding new baths and remodeling kitchens. Furniture companies did outstanding business. The same demand was reported in new items like portable dishwashers, wood folding doors, short wave units that open doors, air conditioning units that fit into confined California attics, etc.

Kraatz confessed he was surprised over the increased attendance and thought the dollar volume might indicate an increased surge in the economy of the construction industry as a whole.

You don't know what trouble is, until you've had a costly call-back caused by "wavy floors".

Today, with the popular use of thinner vinyl tiling, underlayment must have llnished floot smoofftness. A base any less perfect will distort floor covering surfaces-wild grah patterns and defect outlines will telegraph right through.

To meet this new need, Pope & Talbot has engineered a particleboard underlayment wifft finished floot smoothness. This new board has no grain; no defects.

Western Hordwoods fo Toke Reduced Rcrtes on Trqns-Continentol Freighr

Reduced trans-continental rail rates on shipments of Pacific Coast hardwoods were announced July 7 by Emmet J. Nist, president of the Northwest Hardwood Association, Seattle. This ileans, he pointed out, that western mills and wholesale shippers will be able to move native hardwood lumber across the United States at existing softwood rates.

The new tariff will go into effect September 1 and will apply to birch, maple and oak. Western alder and cottonwood have already been granted the lower rates.

Nisi stated lhat this action, granted by the trans-continental lines and connecting railroads, will place Pacific Coast hardl,r'oods in a more favorable competitive basis with the hardwoods of the middle west, south and Atlantic states. Previous difficulties in entering these markets because of the high freight rates have impeded progress in developing the enortnous hardwood

Congress Votes to Repeol Freight Tox

Both Houses of the Congress approved repeal of. the 3/o tax on the transportation of property June26, but the House refused to go along with the Senate on repeal of the tax on transportation of passengers. The bill now must clear the President before it becomes law. Although the repeal of the freight_tax will result in a loss of revenu-, it is geirerally b.elieved here that the President will sign the bill, reports the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association

The Thre:e-Man Lumber Yard

(Reprinted trom "Arch Perry's Corney''-The Signode Seal)

Three men can work a small lumber business and earn incomes well above the national average doing it. But they can't do it without packaged lumber.

Even though it may be closer to reality than we suspect, let's assume the three-man lumber yard is nothing more than a dream. Let's see how the dream shapes up:

You and I and a truck driver are going to run a lumber yard and we are going to gross $300,000 a year and we are going to show some profit on just about everything we sell. No more of this business of handling lumber just as a comeon to sell hardware or appliances.

Lumber and building supplies are going to be the heart of this business. How much lumber do we have to sell ?

The minimum is a carload a month and we should average more than that. But that minimum means about 250 pieces a day. And that's where we can go broke.

Each of those pieces must be handled at least four times, five times for each piece that must be delivered. And that's where we can start making money.

We have between 1,000 and 1,250 lumber-handling operations each dav and there are onlv 480 minutes in each day and some of-those must be dei,oted to making up tally tickets, pricing, handling bags of cement, sheets of plywood, bundles of dry wall and sheathing.

You go ahead and run the office, what with hardware, nails, perhaps a few tools, some KD millwork, answering the phone and getting out the billing, you'll have plenty to do.

With an occasional assist from the truck driver, I'll run the yard myself and still find time to give you some help inside. But I need a 6,000-pound lift truck. I need a boom

loader to go on that truck and we need another boom on the delivery truck, a KD loader and a stacking jig would help.

I need two seal feed strapping tools, a cobra dispenser f.or /4" x .035 HD strap and if we're going to strap brick we'll need some 5f,, x .023 Magnus strap.

But I must have lumber in packages. I don't want them too big. For our operation a 24' x 24" package would be fine. We'lI sell three or four packages a day and, until I have to cut the package straps, I can save 98/o of my handling operations.

The Hidden Profit

Let's see where we'd make the money. Let's see if it is worth $10 a day to keep all that equipment on the premises:

First, I've got a boxcar of lumber to unload. This is about 35,000 BF which will sell for more than $5,000. Cargo loaded, it would take two men about 12-16 hours to unload and stack that lumber.

I'll do it in 6 hours with the help of my 6,000-pound lift truck and a 10-ft. boom and I'm assuming 24'x24' packages and allowing myself close to 8 minutes to take out each package and place it in the yard.

If the truck driver comes in and helps me, we can do the job in less than 3 hours. That's a saving of at least 18 manhours. How much does a man-hour of work cost in the town where we operate this yard?

We're not going to sell a house order every day. But let's say we sell an order for a 2O'x2U garage. With all the material in packages, I can load the whole order of dimensions with three passes of the lift truck. The sheathing will take one or more pass, the shingles another pass. If he uses board siding that will take one pass-if he uses brick I can load 300 at a time.

I can save an hour or more assembling his order. But

WE'RE INDEPENDENT... AND WE LIKE IT THAT WAY!

We iuggle eoch iob seporofely qnd skillfu,lly becquse we don't keep o b,ocklog of brqnd ob,ligotions! This ollows us complele ond obsolute independence fo recommend the right mqteriql for eqch cuslomer's individuol needs. Noturolly, ofter 40 yeors of deoling wilh lhe yords ond fqbricotors of Southern Cqlifornio, we've developed top suppliers, good m'ill sources, qnd o lot of friends . . ond we don't forget them. But il's our speciolized experience, combined wilh our consistent independence thot poys oft in double ossets on your cosl sheels.

only if it is packaged.

On larger orders I'll save more time. On smaller orders the time saving per BF will be smaller.

But I ca'h run that yard by myself and that's where we all can rnake a lot more money. There's a lot of profit hidden in,packages of lumber.

Coloveros Offers Cemenl 'Tour' on Film

A new 16-page brochure describing the cement manufacturing process in detail has been published by Calaveras Cement Company. Thirty photographs and a flow chart accompany a simple explanatory text which in effect gives the reader a "tour" of the company's San Andreas plant. The brochure will be distributed to plant visitors and at showings of a new Calaveras film, "Penny A Pound." It also may be obtained on request from Calaveras Cement Company, 315 Montgomery Street, San Francisco 4, Calif.

Wolf Forms lif6sfern Forest Products

Victor Wolf and Kurt Grunwald have dissolved their Western Lumber Company partnership, with Grunwald retaining the Western Lumber Co. name and continuing on alone, ahd Wolf establishing his own wholesale lumber organization under the name of Western Forest Products at 2358 36th Avenue, San Francisco. For Wolf, the move marked his return to wholesaling on his own, having operated Victor Wolf Lumber Salesln San Francisco for many years prior to joining forces with Grunwald in 1954. .'

Originally, Wolf entered the lumber business 1n 1924 in Austria. He continued a lumber export business based there until 1938, when WWII became imminent. He then moved to the U.S. and went to work for Sloane Lumber Co. at Fort Worth, Texas. After several years at that point, Wolf went to San Francisco and operated as a mill agent for several Q1_egon rnills until starting his own wholesale business during 1948.

Heloise to Abelnrd:

"Prosperity seldom chooses the side of the virtuous, and fortune is so blind that in a crowd in which there is one brave and wise man, it is not to be expected that she should single him out."

She Knew the Answer

The elderly wolf was trying to get fresh with the pretty young waitress who was serving his food.

"Where have you been all my life?" he asked.

She said: "Well, for the first fifty years of it, at least, I wasn't even born."

liille Things

"Half of the joy of life," said Victor Cherbuliez, "is in the little things taken on the run: Let us run if we musteven the sands do that-but let us keep our hearts young and our eyes open so that nothing \porth while shall escape us. And everything is worth while, if we only grasp its significance."

A Follow-Up

The teacher said to one of her pupils: "Jimmy, give me a definition of the word apple." Jimmy said: "An apple is what, if my mother did not make me bring one to school for you, I would have to study harder to pass."

Embarrassed, the teacher passed Jimmy, and said to Willie: "\iVillie, give me the definition of the word lemon.'l And Willie said: "Lemon is the favor I'm going to ask for when you treat me to an ice cream coni for not telling the principal what apple means."

Childish Loughrer

. Vl/rote R. G. Ingersoll: "The laugh of a child shall make the holiest day more sacred still. Strike with the hand of fire, O wierd musician, thy harp strung with Apollo's golden hair;' fill the vast cathedial aisles with your symphonies, sweet and dim, deft toucher of the organ keys; blow, bugler, blow, until thy silver notes do touch and kiss the moonlit waves and charm the lovers wandering in the vineclad hills. But know your sweetest strains are discords all, compared with childhood's happy laugh-the laugh that fills the eyes with light and every heart with joy. O rippling river of laughter, thou art the blessed boundary line be. tween the beasts and men; and every wayward wave of thine doth drown some fretful fiend of care. O laughter, roselipped daughter of joy, there are dimples enough in thy cheeks to catch and hold and glorify all the tears of grief."

It's Rqining Violets

It is not raining rain for me, It's raining. daffodils ; In every dimpled drop I see, Wild fowers on the hills.

The clouds of grey engulf the day And overwhelm the town; It is not raining rain for me, It's raining roses down.

It is not raining rain for me, But fields of clover bloom. Where any buccaneering bee Can find a bed and room.

A health unto the happy, A fig for him who frets; It is not raining rain for me, It's raining violets.

-Robert Loveman Frqnklln's Recommendotion

One of the most famous and masterful letters of recommendation ever written by one man for another was written by Benjamin Franklin, when he was United States Minister to France, as follows:

"Sir:-The bearer of this, who is going to America, prFsses me to give him a letter of recommendation, though I know nothing of him, not even his name. This may seem extraordinary, but I assure you it is not uncommon here. Sometimes, indeed, one unknown person brings another, equally unknown, to recommend him. And sometimes they recommend one another. As to this gentleman, I must refer you to himself for his character and merits, with which he is certainly better acquainted than I can possibly be. I recommend him, however, to those civilities which every stranger, of one who knows no harm, has a right to; and I request you will do him all the favor that, on further acquaintance, you will find him to deserve. I have the honor to be, Benjamin Franklin; April 2, 1777."

Home ot lost

The visitor dropped into a small and unpretentious church one Sunday morning, just as the preacher was announcing his text, and stood in the rear until the text was finished. The text was:

"We have left undone the things we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done." The stranger smiled, found a seat, and sat down. "Thank the Lord," he said, "I've found my crowd at last."

Ook Flooring Associqtion Votes Supporr of NIMA

The National Oak Flooring h'Ianufacturers' Association, welcoming a record number of nine neu' members at its recent mid-summer meeting in lVlemphis, Tenn., voted to participate in the projected million-<lollar rvood prornotion program of the National Lumber Nlanufacturers Association. Other meeting highlights included a preview of the NOFMA 1959 advertising program and an agency report that oak floors are winning increased popularity.

Principal speaker lvas Mortimer B. Doyle, Washington, D. C., executive vice-president of NLMA, who outlined

plans for the wood promotion activities. He said the campaign will involve expenditure of from $1 million to $lt/a million annually.

The program is designed to expand the overall market for rvood products in the decade ahead, which should surpass anv in historv from the standooint of national economic growth, Doyle declared. Tlie 1960s, he predicted,. will see a sharp rise in populationhnd in living standards. The trend will continue, he added,.:,y/ith the nation building 2; million lromes a year by 1970 and'2rl million by 1980. Ily \975,he said, the population probably will have increased to 228 million.

"This outlook," he asserted, "presents a welcome challenge to the lumber industry. The industry must gear itself 1low to take aclvantage of the great opportunities which the future holds."

There is rising interest, he declared, not only in natural finished oak but also in oak floors which are colored to harmonize more directly with room color olans.

The truilders of more than 500 houses in the past 16 months, Janss plans to link Thousand Oaks with the outskirts of Ventura, where the Janss group first started building at the turn of the century with the Conejo, Hunt, Lynn and Lang ranches. Early plans for the new program include a $l million country club, a $300,000 restaurant, a 40-acre shopping center and extensive residential development. The country club, near Camarillo, will be surrounded by luxury homes. T,he club will feature redwood in its construction.

Steel Building Meets Growing Demqnd for Porrobility

A new brochure describing special cost-saving building techniques for commercial, industrial and agricultural buildings has just been issued by Empire Steel Buildings, 2137 North Marianna Avenue, I.os Angeles. Copies of the new brochure-Empire Steel Buildings-may be obtained without charge upon request to Mrs. Sally Robin, Empire Steel Buildings, 2137 N. N{arianna Avenue, Los Angeles.

To meet the constantly increasing demand on the part of rapidly expanding industries for factory housing which is highly portable, Empire Steel Buildings, Los Angeles, has developed a steel building as sturdy and long-lasting as regular permanent structures, but which also possesses a remarkable portability.

This engineering development has special consequence for industries whose production and storage buildings must be frequently relocated with new projects, such as lumber and agriculture. Empire's new portable steel buildings efficiently provide the flexibility required.

In an Empire portable steel building, wall sheets attach to horizontal steel frames, which in turn are bolted to the main-frame columns. This makes easy dismantling and erection elsewhere. Buildings are designed to be fully leak proof-and Empire fittings provide a positive seal.

A typical portable Empire building has been moved a total of seven times. Each dismantling and re-erection was rapidly accomplished in a matter of days.

These readily movable buildings are one phase of Empire's over-all one-contract building construction. Empire designs and builds all types of industrial, commercial and agricultural buildings.

Empire steel buildings utilize both a rigid frame, clear span and a flat rise, tapered girder design. Both types lend themselves to varied architectural arrangement, and may be designed to support all types of cranes and monorails of

any capacity. Both basic designs lend themselves to an almost unlimited number of specific adaptations to provide clear span post-free buildings with space which may be utilized up to the underside of the roof.

Mt. Whitney Lumber Company Facilities

Completed by Empire

One of the first structural steel sawmills in the country was recently completed by Empire Steel Buildings Co. for the Mt. Whitney Lumber Co., at Springville, Calif. Steel was selected as the basic building material largely because of the known low maintenance cost of steel buildings. Measuring approximately 20,000 sq. ft. in area, the new two-story mill incorporates more than 300 tons of structural steel, and as a heavy logging facility, will have a capacity of 120,000 board feet of lumber per day. Plant and equipment represent an investment of more than half a million dollars.

Empire Steel Buildings Co., constructed the complete project.

Los Angeles.-Officials of Grandview Palos Verdes recently joined in tree-planting ceremonies at the new planned residential community. The 'builders said tree plantings will continue on sites of several hundre'd homes to be built this vear.

ized our handling operations in the yard, and started load plot ordering, we have made many cost savings. Our lift trucks now play such a major part in order assembly and loading that our delivery trucks can make two to four more trips per day."

Eastern Dealer-"Planned ordering and unit loading with our lift truck enabled us to reduce our damage clairn" by $2,800 in just five months."

Nerv England Dealer-"Ours is one of the oldest build- ing materials companies in Massachusetts. We've been operating in the same way for so many years that until we had a planned ordering program in effect we didn't realize just how far behind the times we were. Beginning with load plot ordering and following through on storage and handling operations, we find that twice as much woik can be accomplished with our equipment, facilities and personnel."

Planned ordering can be beneficial even for the smaller

dealer without fork-lift-truck equipment. For with a 1,000pound-capacity, two-wheel hand truck, a building materials dealer can completely unload 40,000 square feet of gypsum lath from a boxcar with four man-hours of labor.

There are a number of benefits resulting from planned ordering: substantial reduction in unloading time and costs; reduction in damage; easier inventory control; dunnage reduction and demurrage reduction.

Hanlon. oresider.rt of tl're Natior.ral Harclrvood Lumber Association, Chicago, 'ivho talked on "l{ardrvoorls, Today ancl 'fornorrow." NHLA President Hanlon pointed out that the projected lumber aclvertising program is a sound step in the right direction but that it is still necessary for the individual hardrvood salesman to do the ultirnate iob if hardrvoocls are to n.raintain their place in the collstrucfior"r industries in tl-re face of comoetitive n"raterials and rn'ood substitutes.

The natioial association's secretary-manafler, M. D. Pendleton, also of Chicago, had accompanied the presiclent to tl-re west coast gatl.rering and he also spoke, stressing the irnportance of continued support of the NHLA in all of its activities as the means of maintainirrg hardwood lumber's competitive position in the market.

Both of the executive officers of the National told the PCWHDAnnual that the SALES of hardwood lumbers remained the immediate problem as the various sources of supply both in this country and abroad seemed to be in good condition.

Anotl-rer of the guests was Lillard Nicely, for many years the cl-rief inspector of the National Hardwood Lumber Assn., Cl.ricago' Mr. Nicely was present at the meetings and r,vas called on to speak briefly to the group. He cited the neecl for the industry's continued cooperation with and support of the Inspection Training Scliool at Memphis.

The convention next heard Dr. Robert A. Cockrell of the Scl'rool of Forestry, University of California, on "Tl-re Japanese Hardwood In<lustry." He pointed out that in some

instances -fapan's forestry practice rvas to elirninate the harclu.oocl stancls ir.r favor of the faster-growing Japanese "Itecl" pine. The s1>eaker indicatecl that the Japanese are in neecl of fincling every ar.ailable market for their lumber products as they need tra<le baclly and that, for a u'hile, it is indicated that beech will be the most readily available soecie.

- As Dr. Cockrell sarv it, the Japanese harclwood industry is conrposed of the procluction of these species in this relative orcler : beech, oak grorrp, nraple, birch, basswood, chestr.rut, "Sen." The Sen, he stated, is similar to our ash or elm but is in fact related to treither. The speaker illustrated his interesting talk with color slides an<l the hardwood clistributors forurd his remarks of great interest.

Corrn.rittees were appointed to wind up the first convention clay's busir.ress and, after luncheor.r, the afternoon was given over to fun and social activity. The second day was started with a Panel report on "Problems and Prospects in Hardwood Distribution" chairmanned by Robert J. Sullivan. lleporting for the North were Lyall Bell, Bruce Mossop atrcl Leonard Hall: for the Cer.rtral. K. E. MacBeath and P. R. Kal-rn, arrd for the South-Don Braley and E. M. Bauer. Following the sectional reports, the general consensus of opinion was that business is much tl're same at present up and clown the coast, with rising labor costs and the wide use of many buildir.rg materials competitive to wood being the two most important problems facing hardwood distributiot.r yards today.

ANGELUS HARDWOOD COMPAIIY,

search division, California, was also heard at the Friday morning session on "llow Hardwoods Shrink." His talk on drying hardwoods and the industry's problem in reducing drying costs was in Mr. Smith's usual excellent style ancl well received by the audience. He said the industry may find that it can imprefJnate green lumber with certain-chemical solutions that may either speed the drying process or assure a more perfect drying of the lumber.

Well-versed in the technical aspects of this subiect, Speaker Smith further pointed out that there i's much ihat is still not known about the drying of lumber and that under even the best of circumstances problems will arise that will affect the final condition of the lumber and which cannot always be controlled. The future, he believes, promises that many of these problems will be solved and thus provide the hardwood industry with a more perfect product. NHLA Secretary Pendleton's talk, reported above, was

heard at this point, followed by additional committee reports. Clarence Bohnhoff offered a resolution to be entered into the minutes of the meeting expressing the Association's loss and extending sympathy to the member families bereaved in the past year by the deaths of Mrs. J. William (Cecelia) Ilack, Charles M. Cooper and Alex Gordon.

The officers of the successful 1958 convention were President Hal von Breton, First Vice-President Gordon Frost, Second Vice-President Milton Taenzer. and Secretarv'I-reasurer Jim Cooper, who covered and reported the convention activities in a manner most helpful both to those attending and those who would read of it later in the industry's trade journals.

The Friday afternoon and all-day Saturday activities were mainly social, with the usual outstanding events of interest to the convention crowd. Much enjoyed were the surrounding-area scenic tours planned for the convention,

Bie /vTARKET is SrAinrl Olympic

which included trips to the Big Sur to'see the redwoods and enormous sea otters, a ladies shopping expedition to Carmel, golf on the Pebble Beach links, the Beach Club, tour of Point Lobos with the l7-Mile Drive and Carmel Highlands, and the Luau at Las Lorelas Lodge in Carmel Valley.

In the annual tradition, the golf tournament for the Bobby Byrne Memorial Trophy was held on the Pebble Beach links. The winner this year was Jack Higgins of the Higgins Hardwood Co., San Francisco. The opinions of the judges were considered final in the validity of his score. In addition to awarding of this trophy, a golf prize is presented each year to the player showing the most improvement over the form he demonstrated the previous year. So the 1958 prize went to Bob Sullivan of San Diego, who outputted Ed Bauer on the 19th hole to win going away.

Another of the convention highlights was the renewal of the annual "Regatta," the sailing event which has been held each year since its inauguration in 1951 at Coronado. 'Ihe 1958 event was held at El Estero, the lake and park in the city of Monterey. Crews were assigned to colorful boats by Commodore Jim Sullivan, rvho was assisted by Don Braley as chairman of the Protest committee. The Regatta was a resounding success with the final outcome somewhat in doubt until Rear Admiral Kenneth Tinckler overturned his craft on the downwind leg, thereby permitting Skipper Clarence Bohnhoff to sail home the winner, receiving his trophy over the strenuous objections of Vice-Admiral Fred Smales. The Protest committee ruled in favor of Mr. Bohnhoff, everybody got wet, and it was all in a lot of fun.

Another of the fun events was the Luau at Los Laureles Lodge in Carmel Valley. Going by bus from Del Monte Lodge, the entire group, clad in Polynesian garb, was treated to a real Hawaiian luau, complete with the pig in the pit and two-finger poi. -Stan Swafford won the Hula contest, with Bruce Mossop a close second.

Lawrence Culter was the master of ceremonies at the aunual dinner-dance Saturday night. Presentation of the convention prizes and trophies, and introduction of the new officers, highlighted the last gala annual evening.

The Pacific Coast Wholesale Hardwood Distributors Association voted to hold its 1959 convention, at about the same time next year, in a brand-new location-Sun Valley,Idaho.

Those attending the 1958 convention, most with wives and many with families, included Lawrence Culter, Bruce Mclean, Hal von Breton, Fred B. Smales, R. J. Sullivan, Gordon Frost, J. B. Mossop, Lyall Bell, C. C. Bohnhoff, E,. M. Bauer, John M. Higgins, LeRoy Stanton, Jr., E. M. Taenzer, Stan Swafford, William Fahs, J. William Back, F. M. Radditz, P. R.

Plywood Annuql Touches All Bqses

(Continued from Page 2) talk by Los Angeles Dodgers vice-president, Fresco Thompson, who is in charge of all Dodgers organization scouts. He is the procurement man for the National League club.

Thompson advised the plywood men not to follow the baseball idea of paying every Tom, Dick and Harry a bonus to play ball. This alone is enough to break the camel's back, Fresco declared. He has spent more than 35 years in organized baseball and most of his life has been spent in the major leagues. His talk was both informative and humorous and he does a bang-up job in "selling baseball" in general and the Dodgers in particular.

A full schedule of speakers on Tuesdav included Henrv E. North, president, Arcadia Metal Products; John Ritchie, Allied Products director, Douglas Fir Plywood Association; Fred Phillips, secretary, Worker-Owned Plywood Association, and manager Bronson J. Lewis; Wm. F. Forrest, president, and John Dingley, secretary, Independent Plyvvood Manufacturers Association; T. J. Connelly, president, The Dean Company, who kept the rnembers in stitches for over 30 minutes; Robert Mason, plywood sales manager, Nickey Bros., and President Albert Hersh.

Addressing the association's 16th annual convention at the Hotel del Coronado, Owen Cheatham attributed recent industry problems in part to the general recession, but more to "grorving pains of the nation's fastest growing industry."

"Plywood has a remarkable record for creating satisfied customers and has shown a 2}-fold market increase in 20 years," Cheatham said, "but plywood production has spurted ahead even faster than demand." Manufacturers. he wlrned. must learn to curb their appetite for production in terms of demand for their product.

Cheatham praised the manufacturers' product research, quality control, and consumer education, and recommended their continuation.

The Georgia-Pacific executive urged manufacturers to maintain "proven orderly distribution patterrrs." and sug- gested that one way they might possibly further help themselves could be the development of mill storage facilities to pe.1mi! greater flexibility in manufacturing operations. Most mills have little if any storage facilitiei fbr the finisheil product and are consequently often under pressure to ship each day's production as produced. He observed, hou'evei,

It's the FOLLOW-THROUGH THAT MAKES THE DIFFENENCE!

that the accumulation of substantial excess finished inventory in such warehouses would defeat the objective. '

Distributors were urged by Cheatham to avoid speculation on buying-to get their profits from selling, not from buying. Also they were urged to support and extend the manufacturers' advertising and educational efforts to create bigger plywood markets.

crease greater than has been seen heretofore," Cheatham said. "By 1960, the U.S. population will be nearly 180 million, and new farpily formations will be increasing at an unprecedented rate. Housing, construction, and-highway building throughout the country will be tremendous in a few Years," he said.

The plywood industrS he added, stands to gain as much as: any other industry from the oncoming national growth.

"But this great future growth will bring with it great problems," Cheatham said. "The increased demand for our gross national product is.going to be enormous. This will 6ring with it undreamed of problems for engineers__of the futuie. for the nation's raw material is limited. Human insenuitv, however, is boundless and I am confident this p.-oblem- will be somehow solved. Nevertheless, all of us here should consider ourselves fortunate to be part of the forest products industry, for our natural resource-timberis the one natural resource that grows."

Following the conclusion of Mr. Cheatharn's talk, -the Georgia-Paiific executive received a S-rninute, standing ovation from the more than 200 men and women who heard the straight-from-the-shoulder remarks.

The cocktail party held in the swimming pool area was an outstanding event. The "enchanted evening" with a Tahitian motif and South Seas music was truly tops, not to mention the beautiful drinks and girls ever present.

New Officers Elected

Wednesday morning was devoted to reports from the various committees and the election of officers and directors for the 1958-1959 fiscal year. Roland Remmell was elected president, Tom Hammer 1st vice-president, and Jack Walker 2"d vice-president. Directors'include W. J. Renn, Jr., Jan Naetzker and Wm. L. Gouline, for the eastern division; Don Davis, Jr., Henry Dahlquist and Coleman Ruddell, for the midweif; J. R. Glay, W.M. Gott and Louis Reicke, Jr., for the south, and Art Lundgren, Grant Dixon and Floyd Yates, for the western region. Directors at large include W. J. Ritchie, Fred B. Smales and S. W. White. Chairman of the Past Presidents' Council is Louis Riecke, Sr.

W. E. Difford, managing director of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, was the last speaker of the business sessions. lle gave a straightforward talk on "As 'We See It at DFPA." His talk was educational, informative and at times humorous, but he covered his subject well as he knows the sales potentials.

During the afternoon, the new board of directors held their first meeting and more than two busloads of plywood folks made a tour of the San Diego Zoo, while others of the vacationers played golf, went sailing and swimming. That evening they convened in the Circus Room for cocktails and the final gala dinner dance in the ballroom.

"It was a wonderful convention held in a beautiful setting," said Managing Director Munson. "It will be about six months before we feel the effects of these various meet-

ings but all of it has been to the mtltual benefit of everybocly in the plyu'ood busir.ress throughout the cottutry," he continued.
