The California Lumber Merchant - August 1958

All eles are on the Big e( O" 00 GO

Otr petite Ostrom "O" girl for Argast is TV Starlet Ivlillicent Demming, whose ob-so-looely 35-23-34 is a good reason for giuing tbis Big"O" r.he dorble-O!

Ostrom service makes a big dif erence to busy lumber buyers. lWe can furnish lumber specifications from our large stock int,entory as well as pre-arranged sawmill scheduling. Orders for straight carloads can be shipped in 2 or 3 weeks. In California we maintain practically ouernight deliuery by our own trucks, manned by courteous, competent company-employed drivers. Yes, there's a big diference in Ostrom service. \Why not give the Big "O" a chance to go to work for you now ?

The GIUALITY'S HIGHER From "l,lEIER" -

But the glory of trees is more than their gifts, 'Tis a beautiful wonder of life that lifts From a wrinkled seed in an earthbound clod A column, an arch in the temple of God, A pillar of power, a dome of delight, A shrine of song and a joy of sight.

Here is a quiet place where one may dream The hours away and be content. It shines With many a shadow spot, and golden gleam, Under the murmur of those priestly pines. _ _ l"nibald Lampman.

General Hap Arnold used to say that "A second-best air force is like a second-best poker hand." What he meant was, in the words of the hillbilly, "They air no second money in poker."

Anyone who has the top Kremlin man for a friend doesn't need an enemy. ***

"An advertisement," said a bored gentleman, "is generally a picture of a pretty girl, often in scanty attire, who is eating, drinking, driving, wearing or holding something that someone wants to sell." ***

They were discussing space travel and Smith remarked that he was sure there are no people living on the planet Mars. If there are, he protested, why haven't they asked the United States for a loan?

A practical philosopher, discussing the difrerence between this country and Russia, said that one of the very important differences is that in this country, in the homes of the poor, when they turn on the hot-water faucet, hot water comes out'

Someone has waggishly remarked that in ancient Rome they had to discontinue the Roman holidays on account of the overhead: the lions ate up the prophets.

MAsorrtrE SUNTINE r'ANELs

New as tomorrow's sunrise! Out of Masonite's product development laboratory comes "Sunline," the siding with a shining future. A brilliant new way to add sparkling appeal to any nome.

Sunlight and shadow create interesting and ever-changing patterns on its surface-patterns that enrich and deepen the personality of the entire home.

Sunline may be used alone or in combination with other Masonite@ exterior panels. It broadens the possibilities for design while

bringing lower application and finishing costs. Hundreds of builders and architects have already "previewed" this new panel design at the NAHB Research House in Kensington, Md. So enthusiastic were they that Masonite has arranged to have Sunline available-right now-through lumber dealers everywhere west of the Rockies.

Sterling's Expqnsion Progrqm continuesi Chqpter "Mountqin view"

Retoil Yord Works Both Sides of the Troct

Sterling Lumber Company, California's thircl largest lumberyard chain operation, continues its yard moclernization and expansion program with the completion of an extensive renovation at its Moturtain View yard in Iune. The remodeling job ir-rcludecl a shou,room expansion *i-ri.l-r r-rearly doubled the size of tl.re yard's former store area.

\\tith lumber dealers througl.rout the nation becorninq increasingly aware of the retail dollar. and of the necessity of havir.rg up-to-date facilities and merchandising policies t-o

Soyre

(i;l)":1r1,*:'JiHJ'?Y.*TT3:"t'.'i'"3::f:l

compete for that dollar, Sterling Lumber Comparry recently embarked upon a r.nodemization program wl-rich will, everrtually, affect all of its 16 branch yarcls. Besides the Mountain View yard, Sterling's remoclel roster inclucles :

Santa Rosa (a complete face-lifting and new showroomCLN,I 5/1/58), Oroville (moderization and nerv store front), Roseville (new showroom and n'arehouse-ClNf 3/15/54), and Red BlrrtT (nerv sl-rowroom). Otl-rer Sterling yards on the "do soon" roster include: Redcling (new store front and enlarge showroom), Morgan Hill (a brand-nerv showroom and yarcl scl-recluled here), ancl Placerville (new 4O'xffi u'arehouse).

In each case, Sterling Lumber l-ras irrcorporated the most recent proven merchandising methocls into each of its rernodelecl yards. Besides gleaning ideas from trade papers, competitors, its trade association (Sterling is a long-standing LMANC member) and other similar brrsinesses, Sterliug management pays particular attention to the location of each yard ancl to the yarcl managers themselves-for these are the fellows who know the "do's and don'ts" of their own commrlnity better tl-ran anyone else.

Take the case of Nfountain View Manaser M. N{. "Maury" Daubin, a veteran of 32 years with the"sterling organiiation

Maury Daubin joined Sterling Lumber during 1926 and was soon appointed manager of tl-re company's Roseville yarcl. Later he was transferred to Salinas as manager, then to Petaluma, and finally, during 1942, to Mountain View (this yard was originally establisl-red cluring 1919 at its present site). Primarily an agricultural community, Maury's Mountain View clientele was practically all farm trade, light business and individuals during those days.

As progress began to catch up with the deep San Francisco Per.rinsula community, the farms were gradually displaced by light and heavy industry and, most of all, by people-by the thousands-seeking a home away from the crowded Bay Area fog-belt. lVlaury, accordingly, geared his yard to volume lumber, with tract builclers and heavy construction firms his prime prospects.

But tract business has changed a lot since tl-re post war clays, witl-r volume specialists, prefab operators and direct sellers now all fighting for a corner on that market. So, cluring 1950, Sterling Lumber erected a showroom aimed at capturing the do-it-yourself pocketbook-housed in the thousands of tract homes that it had 1-relped to bui1d. Along with this change, Maury especially emphasized his servicing of local custom builders and light inclustrials.

Both divisions have since proven themselves, the builder division accounting for a very respectable lumber volume

" Babe, that therc's what I call a SOUND FOTINDATION ! " observed Paul Bunyan as he delicately lifted up the old house with his pinkie. The Blue Ox grunted. "See them mudsills, girders an' posts? Been settin' there 25 years in the damp an' dark, supportin' 50,000 pounds o' house-an' not a trace o' rot or termites anywhere. Sound as the day they was cut...Babe, sure as you're true blue, that's BAXCO Pressure Treated Foundation Lumberg."

BAXCO yressu,re treoted FOUNDATION LUMBER

*Wtat else, Paul? For the past 2) years

BAXCO pressure treated Foundation Lumber has been safeguarding thousands of Western homes against termites and wood-rot. Pressure treatment locks in the chemical protection for keeps. And when you figure, Paul, that just

one repair bill, caused by rot or termites, can run into hundreds of dollars-well, why take a chance ? Especially since BAXCO Pressure Treated Foundation Lurnber adds so little to the total building cost-just a few dollars. $Zrite today for free booklet.

(ancl a profit, too !) 'ivith retail or store sales far surpassir-rg original estimates.

Daily buying traffic through X{aury's showroom averages better than the 100 mark, ar"rd during an average Saturday morning (Maury is presently considering the feasibility of staying open all day Saturday) they serve from 250 to 300 people !

Not anxious to be classified as a l.rardware merchant. or do-it-yourself specialist, Maury notes : "We're still lumbermen and we're still runr.ring a lumberyard, but we're also doing everything in our power to sell the hundreds of accessory items that go along rvith lumber. In most cases, accessory sales natnrally follon' the purchase of lumber and building materials, so why toss away an advar-rtage like that to the harclware and oair.rt dealers ?"

Lumber and everything that goes along with it for onestop shopping convenience. That's the tl-rinking behind the Sterling organization. Or according to the con.rpany's longstanding motto: "Buildir-rg Material Mercliants-Headqtlarters for Everything in Building Materials."

Elimincrfe Fire-lnsurqnce Surchorge On Wood Shingle/Shqke Roofs

Of interest to California lumbermen is a recent revision in fire-insurance rate schedules throughout the state whereby the extra charge levied against dwellings with wood shingle or shake roofs has been eliminated. California becomes the 14th state to wipe out the wood shingle differential in fire -insurance rates.

The food and cocktails were excellent and each lady received a beautiful door prize as her take-home gift. Those who attended enjoyed the fun and frolic until the very small hours of the morning. In fact, it was way after closing time before the grpup broke up and went home. But many familiar faces were conspicuous by their absence and the club treasury will suffer the loss on this event.

Outgoing Prexy Harry Boand and his wife were on hand to greet the arriving guests and new President Don Braley and his wife extended the hand of welcome after the smail "crowd" was seated. Dee Essley was in extra good voice, and Harvey Koll and Don Bufkin were also the life of the small but very lively party.

'Helping Good lllen to Do q Better Job' Theme of First Groding Course by Northwest Hordwood Associqtion

"Helping good men to do a better job" was the theme of a weekts course in grading hardwood lumber recently colcluded by the Noithwesl Hardwood Association at the Longview, Washington, plant of Weyerhaeuser Timber Com-pany. Lillard C. Nicely, veteran inspector for the Nationai Fiardwood Lumber Association, Chicago, acted as instructor.

In addition to NHA President Nist and Secretary Harry O. Mitchell, several officers of the Northwest Hardwood Assn. attended the 5-day session, June 14-20. L. R. Smith of the L. R. Smith Hardwood Co., a member of the NHLA Rules committee and a hardwood producer in Longview, assisted materially in the arrangements, as did Robert McFarland of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. It is hoped that a similar class may be held in the area later in the year, reports the National Hardwood Lumber Assn.

The NHLA's Lillard Nicely, who conducted the instruction, reported that the interest of the men was exceptionally high-and great progress was made in an understa.nding oi ttre NHLA rulei. He said this first such course in the Northwest reflects the interest and growth of the hardwood industry in Washington and Oregon.

"Don't look at the knot-look at the good wood you can get out of a board," he told the class of 20 from mills all over Oregon and Washington. "It's the same principle as buying ^sa1-l6sk at the good eating you'll get, not at the bone."

This was the first grading school in hardwoods ever to be held in the Pacific Northwest, it was pointed out by Emmet J. Nist, pioneer of the West Coast industry and president of the northwest association.

Nist stated that the advent of this school, following adoption of the grading rules for Pacific Coast alder and maple by the national association, clearly establishes western hardwoods as an up-and-coming industry.

"\Mith a resolrrce of more than Z3-blllion board feet of merchantable hardwoods in Oregon and Washington and Northern California, and steadily increasing use in the furniture and woodenware industries, the future of our industry is bright.

"While our native hardwoods have become well established as shop lumber, there is a growing demand for their use in mouldings, interior trim and other millwork and as wall paneling-both solid, built up and veneer-facing," he said.

"\Mith the recent granting of softwood rates on transcontinental rail shipments, in effect September 1 on all lines to the eastern seaboard, we anticipate new interest among buyers in the Cl-ricago, New York and other industrial centers.

"The establisl-rment of grades to insure quality standards, the granting of lower freight rates in response to the association's application, and the completion of studies in the management of Alder stands to perpetuate the crop are steps in the association's program to foster, develop and promote the native hardwoods of the West, launched less than three years ago by a group of earnest, far-sighted mill operators, timber growers and wholesalers.

"The association now has in its membershio a number of the leading hardwood distributors of Southern California and the Bay area, who have been very helpful in advising producers regarding the exacting specifications of the California furniture industry," President Nist concluded.

The annual meeting and election of ofificers and directors is scheduled for September 26 and 27 at Hotel Congress in Portland, Oregon. Information may be had by writing the Secretary-Mar.rager, Northwest Hardr,l'ood Assn., at 3253 Commodore Way, Seattle 99, \A'rashington.

Home-Building Surge ltqy Spur Lumber Output

By N. Floyd McGowin, President.

National Lumber Manufacturers

Assn.

Lumber production is showing signs of recovering from the abnormal lows of recent months. Much of this is traceable to growing indications that the nation is on the verge of a new surge in home building.

While lumber output during the first three months of 1958-7,311,000,000 board f eet-was down an estimated 10lo from the year-ago level, figures for the second quarter are expected to show a somewhat smaller percentage of decline.

The biggest months for lumber output-June, July, August and September-could boost this year's total output to the point where it equals-or even exceeds by two or three percent-the 1957 level of 33,391,000,000 board feet.

Much, of course, depends on general economic conditions. Regardless of what the federal government does to stimulate home building, our country's general business climate will have a marked influence on housing demand during the succeeding months of 1958.

At the same time, a strong showing in home building could be a key factor in helpin[ the couitry to recover frori its present economic downturn.

It is interesting to note that lumber production during the first quarter of this year has been only a shade below output in the same months of 1950. As home building moved into high gear during the middle and closing months of 1950and went on to establish a new all-time record of nearly 1.4 million units for the entire year-lumber production likewise rallied to a postwar peak of 38,902,000,000 board feet.

Many manufacturers believe the lumber market has hit its present bottom and that from here on out the only way is up. I am one inclined to share the view that our industry is on the upswing. Here are some of the circumstances that suppor_t that view:

1. In many parts of the country, poor weather has been responsible for curtailing lumber output during recent weeks. Sunshine and dry weather could do much to change the picture in these areas.

2. Lumber inver.rtories at the mill have leveled off in recent months, so the ir.rdustry is in a much better position now to feel the full salutary effects of a pickup in new busiNESS.

3. For the industry as a whole, production has been cut to the point where it is now about equal to shipmet.rts. This should head off any new build-up of unwieldy stocks.

4. A sample survey of 480 mills shows new orders for the first 19 weelis of 1958to be running about 4/c above production.

5. Signs of an improvement in farm income suggest a more favorable outlook for farm construction, a prime market for lumber.

6. Railroad and industrial ulant demand be expected to improve once these segments share in a general business upturn.

7. Reports from retail lumber dealers indicate a feeling of optimism for the coming months. Retail stocks, like mill inventories, have been reduced, so any appreciable increase in retail demand would be translated quickly into new business for the manufacturer.

Actually, 1958 may turn out to be a year in which the lumber industry l-ras had to mark time. I\'{any manufacturers are taking advantage of the lull to seek new ways of lorvering production costs, improving quality control procedures and developing better customer relations.

This will put our industry in a stronger position to take advantage of next year's opportunities-most notably, the prospect of a banner year in home building.

One of the most encouraging developments of late has been the acceptance by lumber manufacturers throughont the country of a new million-dollar natiorral u'ood mer-

July Sets Another All-Time Los Angeles Building Record

July building activity in Los Angeles set a new, alltime, one-month record for the city, with L. A. County figures also soaring well above botl.r June this year and last July. Gilbert Morris, general manager of the Los Angeles Building & Safety Dept., said the city's $80,000,000 in July building permits was $14 million above June. The year's first seven months saw $384,000,000 in permits issued by the city, exceeding the same 1957 span by $63 million.

County Engineer John A. Lambie said that the $26,208,000 in building permits issued during July in county areas and cities served by the County Building & Safety Division compares with 922,095,000 issued in Jur.re.

chandising program developed by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

This program, expected to be launched later this year, will do much to help the industry recover and retain markets lost to competitive materials.

All tl-rese factors-and others which there is not the space to metrtion here-suggest that the lumbet industry has a right to view the coming months of 1958 with confidence and at least some degree of optimism.

Directo.ry of Cqbin Designs Offered Deolers by DFPA

A new booklet from the Douglas Fir Plywood Association will help lumber dealers cash in on the growing American trend toward a second home. The l2-page booklet, "Leisttre-Time Homes of Fir Plywood," is a directory ol 2O vacation cabin designs.

Customers who are thinking about building a second home can use the booklet as a reference aid, and dealers can then sell them the plywood and other materials needed for construction.

The booklet features five cabins for which plans are available from DFPA, and 15 from other sources. Color views and floor plans are included for all 20. Six cabins are given full-page presentations, including color illustrations of interior and exterior, floor plan, and a brief clescription. Sources of further information on all 20 cabins are included.

One of the designs is a weekend beach cottage, planned for a family of five, but able to accommodate as many as eight. It has 600 square feet of living space inside, plus a 480-sq. ft. sun deck.-Materials for the 6each cottage come to about $2.600.

A second beach or mountain cabin has an unusual A-frame design, with sheets of fir plywood serving as giant "shingles" for the roof. Two top-deck bedrooms are reached by arioutside stairway. Porch.-living room, built-in kitchen and bathroom are on the first deck.

Other designs in the booklet include a seaside summer house, with living and sleeping quarters facing each other across a partly roofed, screened court ; a "cabin-in-thewoods," with four wings radiating from a central fireplace and a steeply pitched roof to shed snow and resist winds; and a conventional, economical, 4OO-square-foot vacation cabin, costing about $1,000 for materials.

Dealers may obtain copies of "Leisure-Time Homes of Fir Plywood" from the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma 2, Washington. A 25-booklet display carton, including promotional material, costs $2.50. Plans for the five DFPA cabins are available for 15c each. Prices of plans or further information on the other cabins mav be obtained bv writing to sorlrces listed in the booklet.

We was making about 75 when I says to Bill, 'Look out ! There's a bridge coming-better turn out and let her And he did, and here we are."

Plqnt, Equipment Outloy Off

Businessmen expect to invest $31 billion in new plant and equipment in 1958, according to the survey conducted jointly in late April and May by the Department of Commerce and the Securities and Exchange Commission. This is 4/o less than the amount anticipated by business for 1958 in the survey reported three months ago, and I7/o below the record $37 billion outlay in 1957.

The survey indicates that capital investment programs of business are expected to be at seasonally adjusted annual rates of $31.4 billion and $30.3 billion in the second and third quarters of 1958, respectively. These compare with the actual figure of $32.4 billion in the first quarter of this year, and imply that the decline will extend through the fourth quarter. The figures for the first and second quarters represent downward revisions from the programs reported previously, reflecting in part the severe weather conditions earlier tl-ris year, but also adjustments of basic programs.

'Selected Decking' Approved

Under date of July 17, 1958, the Board of Building and Safety Commissioners, City of Los Angeles, California, issued the following:

Pursuant to the action of the Board of Building and Safety Commissioners at their meeting on July 17, 1958, "Selected Decking" is granted a general approval as a new lumber grade, and may be used in plank flooring and decking in the same manner and under the same conditions as now permitted by the Building Code for No. 2 Dimension plank flooring or decking having a nominal thickness of not less than 2". This approval shall apply to all species graded under the Standard Grading Rules as established by the Western Pine Association.

"Hol Corgott Glouses in Union Conlrncfs Held Unenforceqble

APPLICATION:

Supreme Court rules unions cannot enforce "Hot-Cargo" clauses in labor contracts.

"Hot Cargo" Clauses Legal But Unenforceable:

Section 8 (b) (4) (A) of the Labor-Management Relations Act (Taft-Hartley Law), forbids a union or its agents to urge anyone's employees to refuse to perform work for the purpoSe of compelling their employer to cease doing business with some other person. (Secondary Boycott provision.)

The Supreme Court, on writs of certiorari, resolved a conflict between two lower courts where the decisions in three cases* involved so-called "Hot-Cargo" provisions in union contracts, and the question of whether or not such a provision is a defense to a charge against a union of an unfair labor practice under the secondary boycott provision of the lalv.

The Court held that a "llot-Cargo" clause in a collective bargaining agreement, whereby the employer agrees that its employees will not be required to handle "unfair" goods, may not be used by the union as a defense to a charge of inducing employees to strike or refuse to handle goods for objectives proscribed by the secondary boycott provisions of the Taft-Hartley Law.

The Court said this was the sole concern in the present cases, and there was no occasion to consider the invalidity of hot-cargo provisions, stating, "All we need now say is that the contract cannot be enforced by the means specifically prohibited in Section 8 (b) (4) (A)."

Thus, while upholding the legality of such provisions, the decision of the Court, in effect, makes the hot-cargo clauses worthless by being unenforceable, reports tl-re National Retail I-umber Dealers Association.

Wropped Lumber Sqfe ln Outdoor Storoge

Dry lumber properly wrapped in paper or plastic film can be stored outdoors at least a year. It will still be dry lumber.

A l2-month study just completed at Portland, Ore., by the Western Pine Association's research laboratory found that such wrapped lumber changed less than 2.5/o in average moisture content despite being sloshed by 33.5 inches of rain. Wrapping costs were found to vary from $1.14 to $2.06 per thousand board feet.

Wrippings tested were a reinforced paper lumber wrap and a polyethylene film. Both proved up. Both are products carried at retail lumber yards for use for construction work.

The study was planned as an aid to lumber retailers, processors, builders and others who need extra storage capacity.

"We wanted to find out exactly what happens when seasoned lumber is set out in wrapped packages," said Carl A. Rasmussen, Western Pine's director of research. "Of course, millwork firms and others have been storing lumber this way for some time, with excellent results. We can foresee a great growth in outdoor storage now that the pioneering has been done."

Details of the findings are told in Research Note No. 6,711 of the Western Pine Association, Yeon Bldg., Portland, Ore.

New Storoge Govers Developed

Tough, waterproof Sisalkraft Storage Covers are the most recent innovation in outdoor protection. These new, prefabricated covers have been developed to provide inexpensive protection for all building materials from sun and rain. In addition, many lumber dealers have found that Sisalkraft Covers mainiain excellent humidity control for standard units by preventing rapid drying out of the lumber. Another gain that dealers have discovered is that by using Sisalkraft Storage Covers they are now obtaining additional value from formerly unused outdoor yard areas. Sisalkraft Storage Covers were originally successfully developed for the lumber mills in the Northwest. More recently, the covers were introduced in various areas in the West to retail lumber and building material dealers, where they have met with widespread acceptance.

These easily handled, especially designed covers come in sizes from four to twenty feet long, in varying widths. They are available throughout the West from American Sisalkraft Corporation, San Francisco, ancl the company's distributors.

New ADCO Foldowoy Door Unir Scoring Huge Success

The new ADCO Foldaway Door lJnit, manufactured by the Artesia Door Co., Artesia, Calif., is meeting with enthusiasm by dealers and builders alike. In the main, this is due to the new hardware developed to be used exclusively with ls/s" doors. To establish a standard of how strong folding door hardware should be, all hardware tested during development was attached to a Masonite unit 8' wide an-d 8' high. It was ADCO's belief that if folding door hardware could withstand all possible abuse given an opening of this size and height, it would then provide a more than generous safety factor for any opening size smaller than the one tested.

All folding door hardware up to this point had beer, manufactured by various companies with the idea it could be used for all thicknesses from 3f,, to l3/s,, thick. ADCO

felt this was fine for over-the-counter sales where the hardware might be used for small cabinets or small wardrobe openings. This did not, however, fill the need for larger openings which, unlike cabinet doors, would be subjected to far greater usage and, in some cases, rough treatment.

The hardware finally selected to be manufactured by ADCO after months of research features a husky, all-steel, spring-loaded top pivot which is installed into the folding door unit during the door assembly process, making the pivot an integral part of the door.

conical form is ideal for smoke gathering and perfect as a reflecting surface for radiant heat. Available in jet black matte with a choice ol three types of base, Available in colored porcelain also!

The bottom pivot is contained in a threaded barrel fitted through the bottom rail of the door, into which a hex shaped steel stud is inserted, allowing the unit to be raisecl or lowered in a simple manner. The bottom plate in which the unit pivots is a free-floating type which allows the installer unlimited ease in aligning the unit to an opening which is out of square.

Most dealers and installers attribute the unusual success of the Foldaway door unit to the fact that the hardware and the unit itself fulfill the promise of "Efficiency with Simplicity." Some dealerships outside the Los Angeles area still are available.

High Desert Lumber Yqrds Promote Home to Aid Hospitol Ghority

Yucca Valley, Calif.-Lou Holland of the Builders Showcase here, and Dean Howell of the Yucca Valley Lumber Co., as members of the construction and publicity committee, are instrumental in a worthwhile local charity now underway here. The Yucca Valley Chamber of Commerce is fostering a plan to construct a 2-bedroom home valued at $25,000 and to be given away Christmas day to some lucky donater to the Yucca Valley Hospital Fund.

The C. of C.'s Building and Publicity committee said the modern home will be built in 24 hours, Aug. 30 and 31, including erection, landscaping and furnishing, and will be ready for an "Open House" on Labor day, Sept. 1. The site is in Western Hills Estates on a lot donated by Art Miller, local developer. Labor, materials and furnishings are also all to be donated for the project.

Lumber Dealers Holland and Howell said nationwide publicity will be given the building feat in The Saturday Iivening Post, and tentative plans have been made for TV coverage.

At the annual installation dinner of the Valley Chamber, July 10, I)ealer Holland urged all local craftsmen who would donate their time and efforts to contact him or fellow Dealer Howell at their retail yards. "This is a project which will require much planning and coordination to make it successful," Holland said. "Therefore, we must plan ahead. We have the land and the building materials, now we need the craftsmen."

The committee met again later at Burnt Mountain Dude Ranch and all tradesmen in Yucca Valley offered their services and support in the project, including the general contracting, slab, ornamental stonework, plumbing, framing, and electrical work. A Banning firm volunteered to do the roof. All labor was offeied free, and materials either free or at cost.

The idea to attempt such a feat for the hospital fund originated with Bud Stewart, an associate of Lou Holland's in the Builder's Showcase. Dealer Holland then proposed the idea at the Chamber of Commerce's July 3 meeting, wlrere it was received with enthusiasm. The 1964-foot, 2-bedroom home will be built to plans and specifications furnished by the Masonite Corporation. Harold Brown is coordinator of the project.

Hqsselberg to Twin City Sqles Post

New l6-poge Redwood Booklet Aid to Retoil Yqrd Soles

How to add living values to a home is the subject of a handsomely illustrated "Home Planners" booklet published by the California Redwood Association and available now, without cost, to homeowners, builders and other interested persons. The 16-page booklet, containing many striking illustrations of interior and exterior redwood usage, principally in color, was prepared as a special edition of "Redwood News," quarterly publication of the California Redwood Association.

This booklet is intended as a service to homeowners who are interested in remodeling or changing the appearance of their homes, and as a source of ideas to those who are actively interested in the design and building of a new home.

ASSOCIAIION-sraded plywoods

We distribute the reyolutionary new BERRY FloatAway steel folding-doors -available in 8' height for floor.toceiling closets and storage. And each door panel is backed to full height with fibrous sound-deadening material, too!

Imaginative designs by prominent architects throughout the United States show the versatility and great natural beauty of redwood. One of the featured homes shows how redwood can be left to weather naturally, without benefit of any exterior finish, to achieve a driftwood gray tone. Also featured are redwood exteriors which have been stained or painted. Uses of various patterns of redwood siding are illustrated, to show how siding may be used to complement or serve as a contrast to the natural lines of the home, and how redwood siding may be used in combinations with native stone or brick.

Interior design with redwood is illustrated in the use of all-heartwood paneling for subdued interiors, or the contrasting effects which may be obtained by using A-grade redwood which includes the creamy alburnum wood. Several designs show how redwood siding and paneling can be used to integrate the indoor-outdoor relationship of modern living.

The use of small redwood jalousies for control of sunlight and ventilation and large-scaled vertical louvers which double as movable space dividers and shade devices are among other imaginative millwork ideas presented in the booklet.

When the sun is out and the wind is still, You're one month out in the middle of May. But if you so much as dare to speak, A cloud comes over the sunlit arch, A wind comes off of a frozen peak

And you're two months back in the middle of March.

Many men have become great and successful because of what they learned in their spare time. Lincoln studied law after his day's work as a store clerk.'Charles Lamb worked as a clerk and did his writing after hours. Edison tinkered with electricity after the hours of his employment as a telegrapher. Alexander Graham Bell was employed as a school teacher while he was inventing the telephone. James J. Hill worked on the Mississippi levee while he studied engineering. George Eastman clerked in a bank while studying photography. The Wright Brothers ran a bicycle business while doing their airplane experiments. And so it goes. Spare time can be invested profitably.

The real men dare and the real men do, They dream great dreams that they make come true; They bridge the rivers and link the plains And gird the land with their railway trains. They make the desert break forth in bloom And send the cataract through the flume, And turn the wheels of the nation's mills And bring the coin to the nation's tills. The real men work and the real men plan And, helping themselves, help their fellow man. And the sham men yelp at their carriage wheels, And the small dog barks at the big dog's heels.

Soid Sir lsooc Newlon to His Pupils:

When you come into any fresh company, observe their humours. Suit your own carriage thereto, by which insinuation you will make their converse more free and open. Lct your discourse be more in query and doubtings, it being the desire of travelers to learn, not to teach.

Besides, it will persuade your acquaintances that you have the greater esteem for them, and so make them more ready to communicate what they know to you; whereas nothing sooner occasions disrespect and quarrels than peremptoriness. You will find little or no advantage in seeming wiser, or much more ignorant than your company. Seldom discommend anything though never so bad, or do it but moderately, lest you be forced to an unhansom retraction.

It is safer to commend anything more than is due, ttran to discommend a thing so much as it deserves, for commendations meet not so often with oppositions, or, at least, are not usually so ill resented by men who think otherwise, as discommendations; and you will insinuate into men's favor by nothing sooner than seeming to approve and commend what they like; but beware of doing it by a comparison.

NIMA Appoints Loren Dormcrn To Work on Industry Promotion

Mortimer B. Doyle, executive vice-president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, announces the appointment of Loren F. Dorman as director of advertising and merchandising for the association, with specific responsibilities in connection with the newly created nationwide wood promotion program of the lumber industry.

Prior to accepting his new post, Dorman was advertising manager and assistant director of public relations for the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company of Tacoma, Wash. In this capacity he has had an opportunity to work in practically all facets of the lumber and forest products industries. A native of the West Coast, Dorman has also been associated r,r'ith the H. Leete Lumber Company, Portsmouth, Ohio.

His position with the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, which began October l, 1947, involved the supervision of national and regional advertising programs and responsibilities in public relations, industrial design, motion pictures,

annual reports, informational booklets and exhibits and displays. In 1957 the Weyerhaeuser national advertising campaign was adjudged by the Saturday Review of Literature as the top corporate institutional advertising campaign of the year.

July Building Pqsses 1957 High

New construction activity rose seasonally in July to $4.6 billion, according to preliminary estimates prepared jointly by the U. S. Departments of Commerce and Labor. The total dollar volume for the first seven months of 1958, amounting to $26.7 billion, was up slightly from the comparable 1957 period. Outlays in July set a new record for that month, exceeding by 3% the previous July high established a year earlier, when construction activity was reduced by shortages of cement and concrete products, as revealed by special surveys made at that time. Expenditures for residential buildings were about the same as a year ago, for the first seven months, and accounted for nearly half of the private total in both years.

Bertrqm to Finish Yeqr

The biggest cargo of lumber ever unloaded at Los Angeles harbor was unloaded last month at the dock of Consolidated Lumber Co., its consignee. Under the command of Capt. Wayne Lucy, Barge 539 was towed to the harbor by the tug Winquatt and discharged its cargo of 5,900,000 b.f., the largest single load of lumber to enter the harbor, area newspapers reported July 13. The cargo was towed down from Coos Bay, Oregon, in four and one-half days, with a crew of l1 men. The lumber was piled 40 feet above the deck to a point just below the three giant cranes on the 75 x ZW-foot barge. Upper Columbia River Towing Co., owners of the barge, said the load exceeded by more than one million feet the old singleload record.

NRIDA's O'Molley Cites Success Of Certified Agency Progrom

Rapid expansion of the Federal Housing Administration's highly successful Certified Agency Program is fully justified by the results obtained to date in trial areas, according to J. C. O'Malley, president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

"Broader use of the new plan, under which applications for FHA's mortgage insurance are processed and approved locally instead of having to await action in the agency's regional offices, will help greatly to speed up home building and eliminate log jams such as are experienced whenever the trend in applications turns upward, as is the case currently," Mr. O'Malley said.

"The new plan is responsible for an important part of the increased number of housing starts reported in the last few months.

_

"Although originally designed for outlying communities located away from FHA's oflices, the Certified Agency Program has worked successfully in larger cities as r,r'el1. Results have been so favorable that its extension beyond the 22 states and parts of states where the program no* operates is entirely in order.

"We have advised Norman P. Mason, FHA con.rmissioler, tl-rat reports on the operation of tl-re new plan are uniformly favorable. Lumber dealers engaged in building homes, and helping contractors builcl thJm] cite instancei where local approvals are obtained in two to forrr days whereas a montl-r or more often elapses in rush times before action is completed by understaffed FHA regional othces.

"With qualified local individuals serving as appraisers and inspectors as well as approving applications, thi whole home-building process is speeded up with resultant benefits to both builders and home owners," Dealer O'l\{allev said.

Deolers Get First Moiling on NRLDA's Giont t958 Soles Show

Lumber and building material dealers across the nation are receiving this month the first direct announcement of the 1958 Building Products Exposition of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association. NRLDA's 5th annual trade show, the Exposition this year will be staged in Chicago November 22-25 at the International Amphitheatre, with dealer meetings scheduled at the Conrad Hilton, headquarters hotel for 1958..

Six breakfast sessions will be held at the Conrad Hilton, featuring top-ranking industry and professional speakers on the subjects of expanding lumber dealer markets, selling more home improvements and building specialties, how to

meet packaged prefab competition, opportunities for increasing farm business, and ielling kitchens and associated items.

The announcement also outlines the new "Sales Huddles," the merchandising and market consultation features of the 1958 Exposition, describing as their objective "to give dealers an opportunity to get specific answers and professional advice on merchandising problems connected with any particular market or product classification."

"This is the most important step forward in our programming since the beginning of the NRLDA show," said Exposition General Chairman Phil Creden, merchandising manag'er of the Edward Hines Lumber Company, Chicago. "The marketing experts of our building material manufacturers represent literally millions of dollars worth of training.and thousands of years of collective merchandising experlence,

"Our NRLDA Sales Huddles will provide the economical means by which this huge industry investment of time and money can be funneled directly to the retail dealer-the man who must MOVE the merchandise."

Enclosed with the announcement are flyers outlining two "NRLDA-Hilton Holiday" plans. Ten features are covered in the flat-price attendance packages, including Exposition registration fees, lake-front room at the headquarters hotel, and luxury meal and entertainment events. One "Holiday" package is designed for weekend attendance at the Exposition; the other covers the full four-day period of the show. Use of the "Holiday" package is not restricted to the lumber dealer himself but is available to all who plan to attend the NRLDA Exposition. Dealers are urged t6 offer both plans as incentive awards for employee contests this year.

Disfribution Theme for Convention

Washington, D. C.-The growing concern of building products manufacturers over efficieniy in their distribution system is reflected in the program being planned for the 37th annual convention of Producers' Council, Inc. This year the manufacturers'organization has chosen as a theme, "The Dynamics of Distributior.r." Their meeting will be held in Miami, Florida, September 77-19, at the Dupont Plaza hotel.

In relating plans for the program, Council President Fred M. Hauserman, Cleveland, Ohio, stated, "Producers daily are becoming more aware that an efficient distribution system can mean the difference between a profitable or losing operation. No matter how good our products or technology may be, manufacturers will find it difflcult to maintain a fair share of the market, unless achieving effrciency in distribution."

New Mlll Rounds Out $28 Million Exponsion Plon of U.5. Plywood

The opening of a mill engineered to set new production standards for the plywood industry has rounded out a $28,000,000 expansion program of United States Plywood Corporation, according to President S. W. Antoville's annual report to stockholders for the fiscal year ended April 30. New manufacturing, distribution and research facilities were included in the three-year development by the world's largest plywood organization. Its marketing network was increased to 114 branch warehouses in key markets of the United States and eastern Canada.

Production, which will ultimately reach an annual capacity of.72 million square feet, has started at the Youngs Bay plant in Roseburg, Oregon, where the company owns a billion board feet of premium fir timber and where there are extensive government timber stands. The plant incorporates the most modern production techniques designed to manufacture plywood at a cost substantially below previous break-even levels.

ANOTHER HOMASOTE FIRgT

Other major elements of the expansion program include a fully-automated pre-finishing plant in Orangeburg, S. C.; facilities to open up and harvest the virgin timber along the fabled Rogue River near Gold Beach, Oreggn; manufacturing plants in the Sault Ste. Marie area near Searchmont, Ontario, and a research center in Brewster, N. Y.

Stocks at the end of the quarter are about 1880 million feet 99T_l".tg with 1968 million at the beginning of the quarter and 1998 million feet a year ago.

The demand for lumber showed a little more than the normal seasonal increase during the second quarter but did not strengthen as much as producers would have liked. Basic conditi,ons seem to be definitely on the mend and many in the lumber in9ustry, as in other industries, believe the bottom of the slump has been reached or passed. However, no immediate shari upturn seems likely.

Crow's Lum'ber Price Index of August 7 reflected the sharp rise in the lumber market over the past two weeks, the first improvement over year-ago levels since September 1956, Crow's said. All segments of the Index lose-gre€n and kiln-dried Douglas fir, and Western Pine region lumber. Stro,ng demand and limited supply of studs, dirnension and boards of all species accounted for the climrb.

An attractive counter display, featuring a cedar shingle roof section, is available free of charge to retail lumber dealers, the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau announces. The roof section of fullsized cedar shingles is mounted upon a handsome hardboard base. Each side of the base carries a sales message pointing to the distinct advantages of cedar shinglestheir triple-thickness, economy, insulation, beauty and durabilitv.

The shingles are laid at standard weather exposure and their exposed edges provide a graphic demonstration of the actual three-ply thickness of a cedar roof. The 2'i4,x3, display also lends itself to spotlighting which dra-

rnatically accents the distinctive shadow lines and rich texture of cedar shingle roofing.

Retail lumber dealers may obtain this free merchandising aid by writing the Bureau, 5510 White Bldg., Seattle l, Wash.
