DEMONSTRATION OF SHEATHING'S NAIL-HOLDING POWER

The do-it-yourself craze has through lum'ber dealers, hobby hit the small fry market with shops and some large departyoungsters and dads now making ment stores. The boats are prodtheir own pint sized sail boats ucts of Evans Products Comsupplied in kit form. The idea pany, Plywood D,ivision, Coos for t'hese little sailers was first Bay, Oregon.

conceived by the Evans Products Company, Coos Bay, Ore.

The company pre-cuts all the pieces at the factory and packages them in a convenient carton. First introduced in Florida. the boats were an instant success, T,he builder simply assembles a complete boat that comes ready to put together straight from the carton. Most boats are completed in a weekend.

Evanite people have had statements from parents praising not only the boat rbut its educational value to the child. Kids, they say, get a basic understanding of how a boat is constructed while ,helping to build their own craft and they learn the rudiments of "sails-rnanship" while operating it.

Called the Kiddie Boat, the little sailer is five feet long from bow to stern. It has an outboard rudder controlled by a tiller. Under sail it controls quickly, reacting not unlike boats much larger and faster. The Kiddie Boat kit includes basic materials for construction of the hull. ,rudder, mast and graphic instructions. The package can include sail and hardware. The Kiddie B,oat is made to be both a sail boat and a dinghy. In dinghy use the sail, mast and rudder are removed and the boat is rowed. The mast is easily taken down by simply removing a retaining pin and lifting the mast out of its socket.

IGddie Boats are available

The ever-critical problem of protecting stocks of fine lumber from atmospheric damage appears ,to have rbeen successfully overcome by many lumber companies through the use of covers made of polyethylene film. The Huttig Sash & Door Company, Roanoke, Virginia, whioh uses Visqueen polyethylene film to wrap its molding stocks, credits the moisture resistant film not only with cutting weather damage to zero, but also with being an important factor in increasing sales.

Huttig officials explained that the sparkling finish and high transparency of the Visqueen film actually seems to enhance the finish of the lum'ber. The moldings are wrapped so that customers are able to slide individual pieces from t'he stock without disturbing the cover. The balance of the inventory

National Gypsum Company's salesmen are using a dramatic desk-side test to demonstrate the nail-holding power of their new Gold Bond Brace-Wall "N" Insulation Sheathing. The salesman hammers a nail into a 5inch-square sample of the sheathing. A scale is attached to the nail head and the prospect is then invited to hold the sample while the salesman pulls on the scale as illustrated. The scale registers the nail-holding power which is conside,rably in excess of the 4O pounds required by FHA. Wood and asbestos shingle siding can be nailed directly 'to the new sheathing with aluminum ringed nails. There is no need of furring strips according to the manufacturer. Further information can be obtained by writing National Gypsum Company, Buffalo 13, New York.

A new display rack that dispenses seasonal window materials the year round is ofiered by American Sisalkraft Corporation. The rack displays, sells and dispenses Sisalkraft plastic window materials in Fall and Winter, screening in Spring and Summer. Because of its special design (takes up only 10 sq. ft. of floor area). the rack stores and displays up to 18 rolls of plastics or screening in any width. Products can be dropped easily into place-no bars or mandrels to fuss with when loading or dispensing. Another feature provides that the materials can be seen as well as dispensed from both front and back. Included with each rack is a movable cutter bar and measuring tape. For more information, write American Sisalkraft Corporation, Sales Promotion, Attleboro, Mass.

CORALITE DISTRIBUTES TEXTOLITE

thus remains clean and dry.

Officials of Huttig also observed that the company has realized a substantial saving in operating costs, inasmuch as the covers of Visqueen film have resulted in a IASVo salable stock.

Visqueen polyethylene film is a product of the Plastics Division of Visking Company, D,ivision of Union Carbide Corooration, Chicago.

The ACCO Combination Chain and Cable Binder assembly, developed to meet the demand of the logging trade for a lighter and stronger binder but equally suited for other types of loads, is described in an informative Z-page data sheet which has been prepared by the American Chain & Cable Co., Inc., Bridgeport 2, Conq

The Coralite Company, 725L East Condor, Los Angeles 72, has been appointed distributor for Textolite, the G. E. surface plastic laminate, announces Wes Sprague, Coralite's merchandise manager. "The addition of Textolite (now in s,tock in the full range of patterns and colors) to Coralite's own broad selection of permanent baked-on finish wall paneling materials enables us to answer every need for wall, counter and table-top surfacings," says .Sprague, adding, "Now Textolite customers, too, can get the overnight delivery service for which Coralite has become famous, by calling us at the usual number, RAymond 3-&271." Coralite's area of Textolite service includes Los Angeles and Orange counties, and the San Fernando Valley.

More than two thousand years ago, Diogenes, the wise man from Corinth and a great teacher of that time, said that when children went wrong the parents were generally to blame.

New Showroom Reqdy to Tell the World Whot Business Sun Volley Lumber Co. ls

With lumber merchants throughout the nation heeding the "call to arms" to meet ar"rd beat the outside competition threatening t1-reir markets, lumberyard remodelings and showroom expansions l-rave become pretty frequent lately. But whcn a lumberyard actually tops off its expat.rsion with the construction of a showroom built entirely of WOOD, that is news I

Patterned af ter the Eureka construction method employed by Hobbs Wall Lumber Co. in building its new offices (CLM , 10/15/57), Sun Valley Lumber Company in Lafayette, California, really took Paul's blue ox Babe by the horr.rs when it came to designing its new 2,000 sq. ft. showroom. Of course, it seemed quite logical to Dealers Tom Jacobsen, Sr., his sol1s Tom, Jr. and Bruce, aud Partner Chris Sechrist that, still being very much in the lumber business, their new showroom sl-rould stand as an example of the distinctive job that wood really car-r do.

E,ven before the official grand opening staged April 11, Sun Valley's lrew showroom caused more than usual interest among its customers, commuters and residents of Lafayette's "Sunshine Val1ey." E,asily the most moclern and distinctive structure in town, dry redwood 2x4's run vertically and, nailerl face-to-face, form its solid 4" thick walls. The 2x4's were run S3S to orovicle a finish ir.rterior wall and

a pleasing rustic exterior finish. Near perfect alignment was achieved by running a tongue and groove pattern on the faces, also providing a weather-tight fit in case of slight shrinkage.

The showroom's flattop roof, wl-rich is supported by huge Douglas fir beams, is shielded from view by a false facade and side wall projections.

Inside, because of its clear span, the shou'room offers complete flexibility, l\'ith the exception of a permanent 32foot counter ancl 190 feet of wall displays. Its ten center islands, each completely mobile, are deployed throughout the store and may easily be moved to better advantage or, in manv cases. to create a periodic "new look" to the show-

room. The fixtures, which were designed and built by Sun Valley personnel, are a standard 48" height affording a clear view across the store.

Inventory is inclividually price-tagged and displayed in a "pick-me-up-and-look-me-over" fashion. The entire 2,000 sq. ft. store area is devoted to the display of merchandise and counter area for the completion of the sale. Administrative offrces, bookkeeping (except credit control) and kitcl-ren (for employes and customers) now occrlpy the acljoining building which formerly housed the entire operation.

Long established in the fast-growing Contra Costa county community of Lafayette, Sun Valley Lumber Company came uncler its present ntanag'ement and ou,'nersl-rip on January 1, 1953, u'hen Tom Jacobsen, Sr. anci Chris Sechrist purchasecl the business from Elmo Lombardi.

Jacobsen, a native of Denmark and a veteran of more than 30 years of lun.rber experience, began his career the liard way clurir.rg the 20s in tire logging camps of the Reclu'oocl Higirway region. He later migrated south, turned his hat around, ancl entered the retail lumber bnsiness as a partner in Piedmont Lumber Company, Oaklancl. Still later, and prior to forming a r,r'inning partnership .w,'ith

Sechrist, Tom operated his own remanufacturing plant in Emeryville.

Sechrist came to the Bay area from his native Colorado anci sigr.red on soon after for what was to become a Z4-year hitch r.vith Loop Lumber & Mill Co. in Alameda. Chris took lris "terminal leave" from Loop during late 1952 to join with Jacobsen in negotiating the purchase of Sun Valley.

Jacobsen Boys Are With the Yard

Also joining the venture initially was another JacobsenTom, Jr., who had received his lumber training under his dad's tutelage and then moved on to the wholesale business in 1946 as an outsicle man for Corcls Lumber Co., then of San Francisco. Anotl-rer young'er Jacobsen, Bruce, more recently joined the growing Sun Valley organization, of r,r'hich Tom, Sr. is presiclent, Tom, Jr., vice-president, ar.rd Sechrist, secretary-treasurer.

In acldition to tl-reir Sun Valley oDeration. Tacobsen and Sechrist operate a second yarcl in nearby Dinville which they purchased during August 1953. This yard, operated under the name of Danville \Varehouse ancl Lumber Co., occupies four acres just off the main highway through town ancl is managed by Don \\Ielch.

WHITE PftYE

a di,sti,nguislued woo d-beant;iful, workable and dnt rable

IDAHO WHITE PINE is perfect for interior

woodwork. Its smooth texture, good looks and rugged dependability fit it to the needs and demands of builder, carpenter and property owner. Straight-grained, lightweight Idaho White Pine provides maximum on-the-job economy, too. It is easy to handle, tool, cut, glue and nail. And it stays in place-resists warping, splitting, swelling and shrinking.

Idaho White Pine's beauty, high insulation value and affinity for paints and finishes are additional consumer benefits.

Its insulating properties plus sturdiness and weather resistance make Idaho White Pine an excellent building and industrial lumber. For siding, sheathing, subflooring and roof decking you can suggest Idaho White Pine with omplete confidence. It is always carefully dried.

The man who ordered a steak in a restaurant. and told the waiter he wanted it "so rare that it bellows." was the exact opposite of the Western cowboy who ordered his steak "well-cooked." When it came in it was rare. He called the waiter.

"Pardner," he said, "I want this steak cooked."

"That steak's cooked," said the waiter.

"Listen, friend," said the cowboy, still more "I've seen cows get well that was hurt a whole than this one."

Georgio-Pocific Beqts Out USP To the Booth-Kelly Holdings

Georgia-Pacific Corporation appears to have nosed out United States Plywood Corp. in the recent race to acquire the Booth-Kelly Lumber Co. of Eugene, Ore. "So far as we are concerned, Georgia-Pacific has Booth-Kelly," a USP official in New York Citv told The \Arall Street lournal in ryid-Jgly. U.S. Plywood- had scheduled a speciJl meeting July 24 to permit issuance of debentures for the BoothKelly operation. It was said the meeting would convene as scheduled but adjourn without taking action on USP's registration statement covering $15 million in debentures and cancel plans for a $58 million mortgage and a $10 million term bank loan.

Georgia-Pacific was understood to be preparing a letter to its stockholders late last month stating that long-term financing to acquire Booth-Kelly of up to $93 million is already committed by lenders. It was through an offer to buy Booth-Kellv's 21.889 shares at $4.250 eich that G-p aiquired conirol of the concern when more than 5l/o of the stock was submitted for payment in July.

Georgia-Pacific's strategy of seeking stock directly from shareholders defeated U.S. Plywood's plan to acquire the valuable old-growth timber stands of Booth-Kelly for $85.5 million. This plan, which would have given BoothKelly holders $3,906 a share, was approved by Booth-Kelly directors late in May.

Hendler Continues Firm Alone

Public notice was filed in The Los Angeles Daily Journal, July 6, that the partnership of Joe A. Hendler and P. L.

Hendler published notice that he is conducting a wholesale lumber business at the same location,230l E. Nadeau St., Huntington Park, under the old name, with himself as the sole operator.

Lumber dealers have an opportur.rity of tying in with a Masonite vacation cabin article rvhich has tire leacl position in tl-re August issue of \\roman's Day, a supermarket publication with an estimated circulation of 4,185,000.

lVlasonite Corooration has fun.rishecl its Doolcar dealers and salesmen with large, colorful posters to clisplay in shorn'rooms to highlight the article ancl srlggest tl-rat customers sencl for a r.vel1-illustrated, 10-page plan detailing the cabin construction.

Dealers have a supply of order forrns for cnstomers to send to Masonite Corporation rvith a quarter for the plan.

ffiuilsrnol9

Appearing with color photos, the extended article describes the vacation cabin which was built this Spring in Connecticut for under $5,000, including the land. The materials cost approximately $2,000.

Unusual in clesign, the cabin features are open design, lou' cost, high livableness, superb natural lighting aud ventilation. The motif is the triar-rgle. Though the cabin is a 2j-foot square. the front extencls from one corner to inclucle trvo of the sicles. In these walls are some 250 sq. ft. of fixed ancl awning-type windolvs, used for an unsurpassed view of the surrourrdings and, of course, generous light ar-rd ventilation. Rising to trvo-story height at front and back, the cabin is roofed by two big triangles sloping from the 16foot-high riclge beam to 7' at the eaves.

The architect specified Nlasonite Panelgroove siding for the balance of the exterior. Its screen-textured back. exposed on the insicle, u'l-ren paintecl presents the appearance of rich canvas. Other features are a sleeping deck for two, spacions living area including a built-in table with storage and two couches, compact U-shaped kitchen with cabinets br,rilt right on the Masonite Panelok tvalls, three closets, stora€{e-type pass-through to dining area, floors throughout of Tempered Presclrvood, batl.rroon-r rvith Nlarlite walls, cypress deck along two sides for snnning ancl lounging, with built-in tables and benches.

"As predicted three months ago, the upward trend of both the production and shipments of lumber by the Western Pine industry continued, during the second quarter of 1959, but at a somewhat slower rate than in the first quar- ter," said the text.

"Preliminary estimates indicate a second-quarter regional production of 2358 million feet, up l8/o trom a yeai ago, and regional shipments of 2453 million feet or 17.2% above the same 1958 period.

"Stocks at the mills are now estimated at 1750 million feet, which is 126 million feet less than those on hand Tune 30, 1958. This is a reduction of approximately 100 miilion during the second quarter. The shop grades and low grade boards are still below normal supply.

"llousing, which has been an important factor in the month-to-month rise in overall consiruction during 1959, registered further gains in the second quarter. May starts were at an annual rate of 1,377,0@, as compared with the actual starts of 1,141,500 in 1958. Predictions continue to foresee 1959 as the third largest housing year, with 1.3 million private non-farm starts. Although the May rate was off slightly from April, housing economists are still convinced the boom will continue. Almost half of the 1.3 million starts are already fact, and recent tightening of money, it is said, will have little effect until late"in the fear.

"Apparently, construction gains will continue during the third quarter. The trend of industrial production and personal income is still upward. Such factors indicate a sustained demand for the woods of the Western Pine region.

"Based upon the above factors and all other available information upon prospective demand it seems probable that, during the third quarter of 1959, shipments (consumption) of lumber from the Western Pine region will approximate 2530 million feet, or about 7/o above the third quarter of 1959."

would be that a fellow by the name of Themistocles started it. Just judging from some of his quoted words. You will find the story of Themistocles in the very first chapter of that greatest of all books of ancient biography, "Plutarch's Lives."

Several hundred years B.C., Themistocles lived. He was statesman, soldier, philosopher and leader extraordinary. fle was one of the very greatest men in all ancient history, and his home was Athens.

In those great days the ability to entertain in public belonged to the elite. One day in a great throng, after many had taken turns entertaining with music, Themistocles was asked lvhat he could do along the entertainment line, and he replied: "I cannot play upon any stringed instrumenf but I can tell you how to make a city grow."

Lfnfortunately, the writers of that day went no farther with the story. Too bad some good reporter was not there to take down the notes and tell us what this greatest man in the world of that day had in mind. We shall never know.

But that he was probably the founder of the chamber of commerce idea seems plausible. He said he knew how to make small towns into great cities' What was it? One man's guess is as good as another.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY

As Reported in The California Lumber Merchant, August 1,1934

The Lumber Code Authority voted $8 per M as the minimum freight rate on west coast shipments by water to the Panama Canal Zone. . An order approving a new modal markup for retail sales of lumber and materials was signed by Code Administrator Johnson, June 27; it reduces prevailing prices approximately 10/o. The dealer will no longer have to file his retail price list with the Code authorities George W. Gorman, Frank White, Bob Caldwell, F. K. Piel and W. T. Wallace hosted the yard managers at a Hammond company 4th of July picnic at Samoa . . . William Walker Peed, owner of the Los Gatos Lumber Co., died there J:uly 2 . . . Max Price, manager of the Roscoe Lumber Co., is on a motor trip to the Dakotas.

Paul Orban of the Orban Lumber Co.. Pasadena. visited the Lumber Industries House at the World's Fair and was so impressed that he secured a feature article about it in the StarNews and got the blueprints of the house from the NLMA to sell the ideas to his yard trade .

A. Burlingame Johnson, diplomat and state legislator

and father of Earl Johnson of the Johnson Lumber Co., Pasadena, died June 27 . . . Roy E. Hills of the WendlingNathan Company, San Francisco, and his family sailed for a Honolulu vacation Jim Cronin, manager of the Cronin Lumber Co., Van Nuys, is on a trip to Spokane . . Henry W. Bode, formerly of the Spring Valley Lumber Yard, San Francisco, died July 1 in East Guernewood Park.

With all industry at a standstill as a result of the general strike, San Francisco's lumber yards were shut down for three days, July 16-18, 1934. Although the teamsters' strike of July 12-20 was not officially called ofi until I :15 p.m. on the 19th, the City yards were opened for business at 8:00 a.m. that morning following publication of a display advertisement in all the City's newspapers that day by the San Francisco Lumbermen's Club, announcing the reopening of the yards. Lumber yards in the East Bay cities were shut down from three to seven days by the teamsters' strike and the general strike which was called one day later, and ended one day later than the San Fran-

cisco

general strike

The Pacific Coast Longshoremen's strike was ended on July D and the men were to return to work at 8:00 a.m. the following Tuesday, pending arbitration The official estimate of lumber industry workers and allied fields laid off in the lengthy, devastating strike was 20,0m in the Northwest segment alone. The damages in demurrage and wharfage and other charges would take months to recover One occasion on which the very active strikers' pickets were outwitted in San Francisco was when a local yard sent a shipment of lumber for Honolulu by car to the dock, a distance of about half-a-mile. It took the car a week to reach the dock.

The Oakland, Calif., Board of Education approved plans to erect 90 temporary one-room frame school buildings Jack Brush of the W. E. Cooper Lumber Co., Los Angeles, was elected an alternate delegate to the state convention of the American Legion in San Francisco by the Legion Lumbermen's Post. Fred A.

Sacramento, July l3-Self-assessed taxable sales in California totaled $4,988,731,000 in the first three months of 1959, according to George R. Reilly, 4rst District member of the State Bloard of Equalization. This is a record high for any initial quarter in the state's history. Sales were up

17.2% over the comparable quarter of 1958, _and_S.S/c over the previous first-quarter record sales of 1957. Gains were recoided by 37 of the 39 categories of retail outlets for which the Board of Equalization published statistics, by all three of the personal service establishments group, and by both of the categories included in the manufacturing, wholesaling, contracting and miscellaneous outlets group. Of the state's 58 counties, 39 registered gains above the statewide average.

The magnitude of this gain is attributable to a slight rise in the cosf of living index in California over the con.rparable quarter of 1958, a steadily growing population, a-healthy rise in oersonal income of California residents of almost 8/o (adjtsted to an annual basis), an expausion of consumer retail credit, and an increase in employment.

The most significant gains in statewide taxable transactions were made by three classes of durable goods : new motqr6 r*ehicle sales, farm implement sales, and the taxable sales'6f lumber and building materials, which rose 32.5/o. Taxable transactions of hardware stores; plumbing and electrical suppliers ; and paint, glass, and wallpaper outlets recorded gains of 14 to 16%. Sales of home furnishings and sales of household appliances were up 14 and 13lo, respectively.

Purchases of Boats Are Spectacular

The most spectacular gain in taxable transactions of durable goods was recorded by trailer, boat, motorcycle,. and airplane dealers, 'uvhose sales were 42.9% higher than those of the first quarter of last year. Much of this gain refl_ects the grorving-addiction to boats by Californians, whose b.oat purchases were more than 5O/o higher than in the last beginning quarter.

Wholesole lumber Group Stqns Progrcrm fo Better R.efoil Relqtionship

One of tl.re most informative meetings of tl.re \\'holesale Lumbermen's Association of Southern California 'rvas held last montl'r in the Garden Room of tl-re Los Angeles Athletic

Club. In an unprecedentecl "no-holds-barrecl" meeting, three of the Sonthland's top retail purchasing men came up with some constructive ideas for the r'r'holesalers.

Cl.rarles Clay, presicletrt, and Daryl Boncl, Program chairman of the group, had asked Leon Lauclerbach, Stanley \{cDonalcl and Wallace Lingo to come to tl're meeting preparecl to give tl-re wholesalers every goocl criticism they coulcl fincl. After the meeting, tl-re retailers and wholesalers both admitted that it rvas probablv the most constructive ancl informative gatl.rering tirey hacl attencied.

Lauderbach, top purcl-rasing man of Ward and Harrington, told the group that his company considers the u'holesaler as a representative of the mill and as sucl-r he has a responsibility to keep the retailer informed of all information about lun.rber along with keeping the mill informed aborrt retailirrg rreerls.

In more cletail, IIr. Lauderbach cliscussed the aclvantages of selling graclecl lrrmber, l-raving accurate paperwork, training salesn.ren arrcl the use of varions billing systems.

Sun Lumber's \\'a11y Lingo came up rvith son.re interesting icleas orr the rrse of botl-r sellers' ancl buyers' time. He stated that selling f rom tl-re offering sheet $.asn't enough, that it saved tin.re if the salesman hacl all of the up-to-tlate information on hancl ancl was, :rbove all, comDetent ancl reliable.

- After congratulating the Association on their backing of the grading program, Stan NlcDonalcl of Orvens-Parks Lun.rber Co. spoke on the neu'ly aclopted "Cocle of E,thics" pleclgecl by all of the members of the group. He arlvised thenr tl'rat this, in itself, was rervarcling to the retailers ar.rd suggestecl that other organizations sl-rorrld follo.,v suit. f I cl)onald gave a list of specific ideas that coulcl be adoutecl bv the u'holesalers to better tl'reir business ancl improie their relations u,ith the retailers.

FIRE SEASON WARNING

State Forester F. H. Raymond describes the forestfire situation in California as very critical and warned luly 24 that everyone entering the mountain and wildland areas must be extremely careful to prevent forest fires. The wildland areas are tinder dry after several months of hot, dry weather. Forest fires start more easily and spread more rapidly now than normally expected at the worst of the season yet four to six weeks away.

Sportsmen going into the North Coast area for deer hunting are cautioned that their personal safety is at stake with so many hunters in the woods during this critical period. It is especially important that hunters protect themselves and their. hunting privileges by_ exercising every precaution in the use of campfires, matches, and smokes.

Raymond urged sportsmen to cooperate with Rangers and landowners by being careful with their own matches, smokes, and fires and to remind all others they meet in the woods to do the same and follow these simple rules :

Be sure your campfire is DEAD out.

Do not smoke while walking in the woods.

Crush your smokes in a safe place.

Use the car ash tray if you smoke while traveling.

The personnel manager was interviewing a man who wanted a job.

"flow long did you work at your last place?" he asked.

"Sixty-five years," replied the applicant.

"I{ow old are you?" the employer asked.

"Forty," said the applicant.

"I{ow could you work 65 years on one job if you are only 40?" was the next question.

The man answered: "Overtime."

Edwin Mqrkhom Wrote:

I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity an obligation; every possession a duty.

I believe that the law was made for man, and not man for the law; that government is the servant of the people, and not its master.

I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living, but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.

I believe that thrift is essential to well-balanced living, and that economy is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure, whether in government, business, or personal affairs.

I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order.

I believe in the sacredness of a promise; that a man's word should be as good as his bond; that character-not wealth or power or position-is of supreme worth.

I believe that the rendering of service is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness consumed, and the greatness of the human soul set free.

I believe that love is the greatest thing in the world; that it alone can overcome hate; that right can and will triumph in the end.

Gqreful Writing

He was just out of journalism school and starting on his first job as a reporter on a daily paper, and the city editor gave him this advice.

"Never write anything as a fact unless you are absolutely sure about it. If you are not sure about a news item you are reporting, use the words 'alleged,' 'reputed,' 'claimedr' 'rumored' or 'it is said'."

The young man memorized theie words, then went out hunting news and, returning, wrote the following:

"It is rumored that a party was given yesterday by a number of reputed ladies. Mrs. Smith, or so it is alleged, was hostess for the affair, and the guests, it is said, were all local people with the exception of Mrs. Jones, who claims she is from Chicago. Mrs. Smith, the hostess, claims to be the wife of Joe Smith, who is rumored to be the president of an alleged bank in this reputed city."

Thqt's Whot Old Cqesqr Did

When Caesar took an Eastern ride and grabbed the Gauls of Rome, What was the first thing Caesar did to make them feel at home?

Did he increase the people's loads and liberty forbid? No ! He dug in and built good roads. That's what old Caesar did !

Did Caesar put the iron heel upon the foemen's breast? Or did he try and make them feel that Roman rule was best?

What did he do to make them glad he came their lands amid?

He built good roads instead of bad, that's what old Caesar did !

He built good roads from hill to hill, good roads from vale to vale;

IIe ran a good roads movement till old Rome got all the kale.

He told the folks to buy at home, built roads their ruts to rid,

Until all roads led up to Rome-that's what old Caesar did !

If any town would make itself the center of the map, Where folks would come and settle down and sit in plenty's

If any town its own abode of poverty would ridJust let it start to build good roads. Just like old Caesar did!

Minnie Wicklund Elected President Of S.F. Hoo-Hoo-Efie Club 3

Union Lumber Company's Minnie Wicklund was elected president of San Francisco Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club 3 at a dinner and election meeting held at the Californian hotel in San Francisco, June 9. Lee Egger, of George Windeler Co., was installed as 1st vice-president; Julia McArthur, Dant & Warnock, 2nd vice-president; Ella Curto, Hubbard & Johnson. 3rd vice-president; Ann McKay, Bonnell Lumber, treasurer, and Philippa Lomonaco, secretary. Weyerhaeuser's Sally Haddox was named initiation chairman, Helen Ash of Georgia-Pacific Corp. will be in charge of membership, and Deloris Leitner, Dant & Warnock, will again head publicity.

For the past several months, Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club 3 has been operating an employment service for Bay area lumber secretaries, with Ella Curto in charge. A search for a proper name for this division of the club was ended with the awarding of. a prize to TPL's Lucy Lipe for her entry"Lumber Careers Unlimited."

In addition to the seven new Kittens initiated at the club's IVIay 12 meeting, it has since been disclosed that another new member, Helen Brughelli, Lumber Sales Co., was initiated into the club by proxy at that meeting.

There is a "weather permitting" clause in the Uptown contract, whereas it was eliminated in the Harbor District contract.

The wage increase Uptown is by percent, making a wider spread between skilled and unskilled workers and a fraction of a cent less on

the average than in the Harbor Area.

C. The Sash and Door Division was still negotiating with Locals 2288 and 420. For this reason, tro .o.t.-ideratio-n was given to ratifying a pact for them.
