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.

Fir plywood represented 39.2/o of the company's record sales of $203,242,147 during the fiscal year. The remaining sales covered a wide range of building and industrial products. As previously reported, U. S. Plywood earned $6"378,933 after taxes during the fiscal year.

'Plonning Lqws' Published

"Planning Laws," a comparative digest of state statutes through December 1957, relating to city, county, region, and state planning, has recently been published by the Housing and Home Firtance Agency. Compiled by the HHFA Office of General Counsel, the 7l-page digest is available for purchase at 70 cents a copy from the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25.
