Glue-lqminqted 2x4 Ups Utilizcltion
The dependable 2x4, the bones of practically every house in America, has gone modern. The Western Pine Association announces that one of its member mills, Potlatch Forests, Inc., of Lewiston, Idaho, is now manufacturing glued laminated 2x4 lumber.

The new-style structural lumber has th.e same measurements as its long familiar older brother, according to Carl A. Rasmussen, director of the association's research laboratories here. Its laminated structure provides equal strength, he said, and assures straightness, dimensional stability and sound nailability. It is manufactured in sta4dard lumber lengths.
Rasmussen said the Potlatch plant had developed the new product to increase utilization of raw materials.
The Western Pine Association certifies its manufacture. Grading rules for four grades will be available from the assoc,iation about October 1.
The product has been on the market for some time, and recently specifications were distributed by the FHA to its field officei for use on FHA-insured projects. The specifications call for periodic rugged testing of sample items from manufacturing mills, including boiling samples in water for 12 hours and then subjecting them to stringent sh.ear tests.
Santa Barbara, Calif.-Maps approved for two new subdivisions, Rancho Alta Vista in Calpinteria Valley, and Holiday Park near Goleta, north of Highway 101 and rvest of Stowe Road.
