Will Bid Retailers to June Meeting

For the March meeting, the sash and door manufacturers will be invited to a similar type of program for their benefit and, in June, retail lumber dealers 'ivill be invited to that month's special meeting, at rvhich the SCLSA rvill have a planned program concerning the handling and caring for seasoned lumber.

It is recluested that ea-ch member company send its salesmen, yard foremen and anyone similarly interested to these four special meetings during the year. The list of names for special invitations should be sent to the secretary in time for him to organize and take care of them.

Other business at the June meeting included reading the minutes of the meeting of the officers of the seven r,vestern dry kiln clubs, and a discussion of them. A resolution-suggestion rvas made at that meeting that officers of each club be elected immediately following the annual during the year and making it easier for the host club to carry through to the annual. The SCLSA board took the necessary action to hold over its present offrcers until June 1956.
