36th PCWHDAnnuol ftlixes Fun, Serious Business

The Pacific Coast Wholesale Hardwood Distributors Assn., one of the oldest associations of its kind in the United States, has been holding successful conventions for 36 years, and the one recently concluded at Sun Valley, Idaho, June 23-25, was no exception. The first meeting.of this group was held ln 1924 and, with the exception of. a 1944 meeting which was canceled during wartime restrictions, conventions have been held in successive years ever since.

President Gordon T. Frost convened the first meeting of the 36th annual convention on June 24 in the Sun Valley Lodge and welcomed the members in attendance. Lawrence B. Culter introduced Pat White of P. J. White, Ltd., Vancouver, whose request for membership had previously been approved by the Membership committee. The new member firm was welcomed into the PCWHDA as President Frost pointed out some of the advantages of membership.

All of the members registered at the convention were on hand for the first Roll Call and approved the Minutes of the 1958 meeting as read and the Treasurer's Report. The Sectional reports were given by Lyall O. Bell, Vancouver; Bruce M. Mcl-ean, Seattle-Tacoma; F. M. Radditz, Portland; J. E. Higgins, Jr., San Francisco; K. E. MacBeath, Oakland-Berkeley; LeRoy H. Stanton, Sr., Los Angeles ; E. M. Taenzer, Los Angeles, and James W. Sullivan, San Diego. After the "tears" were wiped away, it was generally agreed that business on the West Coast as a whole had been satisfactory during the year.

Milton Taenzer read Jack Brush's letter on the national union labor situation and it was suggested that similar action be taken by others to express their feelings to their Congressmen. Bob Kahn reported on labor problems affecting Bay area members and called for unity as a necessity among employers.

Special ieporls on business conditions were made by Albert A. Frost, Jr.-Baja California and Tijuana, Mexico; Hal von Breton-the world picture on lumber imports with emphasis on South Ameriia: W.F. Fahs-the over-all

On Resolution (4) above, the full Resolution reads:

"Whereas the hardwood lumber distributor has encountered serious difficulties in the marketing of domestic hardwoods such as Birch, Maple and Oak due to the very small difrerential inade by the manufacturers between F.A.S. and F.A.S. One Face, and the considerable percentage of the F.A.S. One Face which the mills insist onincluding..,

"It is recognized that the manufacturer must dispose of the entire product of the log and that, in most cases, it is impossible to ship straight F.A.S. However, the pres€nt differential is out of proportion (Continued on Page 66)

When the great Frenchnran, Voltaire, who did more fbr human liberty than any army of men in European history, lay dying, that great American, Benjamin Franklin (one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and one of the foremost founders of this United States), took his small grandson to see him. And the dying Voltaire placed his hand on the boy's head and bade him dedicate his life "to God and Liberty."

For of all things precious to the human heart, the greatest of these is LIBERTY. And the first nation on the face of this earth to proclaim, adopt and defend liberty was the United States. This took place when the Declaration of fndependence was written, signed by the Continental Congress, and became the cornerstone of American liberties.

The greatest thinkers J" ""l n Jnce 1776 have proclaimed that Declaration to be the mightiest and blessedest document ever struck off by tfe fna *of God.

The mighty thinker, Carlyle, said that "Freedom is the one purport, wisely aimed at, of all man's struggles, toilings

and sufferings on this earth."

Liberty is a word hated by dictators and Communists. Liberty is the blossom and fruit of justice, the perfume of mercy. Liberty is the seed and soil, the air and light, the dew and rain of progress, love and joy.

When the Declaration of Independence was sent to General George Washington, he had his troops paraded and it was read to them amid "tumultous applause." And with regard to that precious document, Thomas Jefferson said: "Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God." And President James Madison said: "It is proper to take alarm at the first encroachment on our liberties."

Jean Jacques Rousseau, honored philosopher, warned mankind that liberty is well worth fighting for, but that once secured and then lost, itis gone forever.

And Abraham Lincoln, apostle of freedom, warned this nation that all the armies and navies of Europe could never (Continued on Page 46)

ST. PAUL INTRODUCES NEW OVERLAY

PlyGlaze 101, an improved, high-density overlaid plywood concrete form panel, has been developed by St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Co., division of St. Regis Paper Co. The new premium - quality material is designed expressly for forming jobs that require the greatest possible number of re-uses or flawlessly smooth architectural concrete. PlyGlaze 101 has a distinctive translucent walnut-brown overlay, in contrast to the regular PlyGlaze amber. The overlay itself is an irreversible thermosetting phenolic resin permanently fused to the panel. It has greater resistance to alkaline conditions and is not impaired by continuous and prolonged contact with wet concrete. The overlay, like the adhesive used between plys of the base panel, is completely waterproof. In addition to the special overlay, PlyGlaze 101 has solid inner-ply construction, and costs no more than the amber overlaid plywood formerly used for form work. It comes in all standard sizes and thicknesses, is DFPA-inspected and meets all U. S. Commercial Standard requirements. For fur-

either Constellation or MicroPerf tile. Interchangeable identifying signs for each of these tiles are provided with each unit. The widely accepted new display frame gives maximum display, yet occupies little space. Display construction permits easy set-up for window, wall, counter and island display areas.

New lightweight "Sak-Pak" expendable pallets, originally introduced into the cement industry by Calaveras Cement Company, are beginning to 'find extgnsive application in other industries as well. Calco SupPly Company, San Francisco, reports that the pallets are now being used successfully for loading other bagged products. The company has received literally hundreds of inquiries irom all over the United States since the pallets were introduced earlY this year. With production well established, Calco has standardized on three sizes of pallets ranging in price from 85 to 87 cents each, f.o.b. Salinas, Calif., in carload quantities of 2,0N or more. The lightweight expendable pallets are made of corrugated paPer reinforced with Kraft Veneer board. Each can carry approximately 4,000 pounds, and the pallets can be stacked three high. T,hey weigh only five pounds each. The "Sak-Pak" pallets are claimed by Calco to increase payloads and reduce freight costs, eliminate the need for pallet deposits and returns, free working capital otherwise needed for pallet maintenance and repairs, eliminate sack breakage from splinters and nails, and release valuable warehouse space. For savings in freight costs they are shipped flat to the customer for assembly at the loading site. The assembling operation is simple and requires no special equipment.

OAK FLOORING STANDARD BEING REVISED

Manufacturers, distributors, builders and others associated with the oak flooring industry are considering a revision of the Commercial Standard for Strip Oak Flooring, CS56-49, just circulated by the Commodity Standards,D,ivision, U. S. Department of Comm.erce, which establishes 11 standard grades and 17 sizes of flooring strips in tongue-andgrooved and square-edged types. Industry practices for bundling, inspection and measurement are given, and methods of grademarking each bundle and for certifying shipments that comply with the standard are described.

Changes were suggested by the National Oak Flooring Manufacturers' Association, Inc. to bring t,he grading terminology into agreement with the latest Association grading rules, to add limitations on moisture content, and to establish grade rules for "1r/, Foot Shorts." T,he obsolete grade of "sap clear" in quartersawed stock is eliminated. An appendix gives the latest manufacturers' recom,rnendations f or the preparation of wood and conc.rete-slab subfloors, and includes methods of estimating and counting strips; con.trol of moisture, air and heat during installation; correct size, type and spacing of nails, and the latest methods of laying and surfacing the strip flooring.

Changes in the appendix provide increased average weights because of the general use of heavier lumber from secondgrowth timber, as well as recommendations for 'the use of a moisture resistant membrane in slab construction, and of a ground cover in crawl spaces, in addition to revised nailing procedures which provide for certain new types of fasteners now being used.

A limited number of copies of the Recom,mended Revision. T5-5426A, are available without cost from Wm. H. Furcolow, Commodity Standards Divisio'n, U, S. Department of Commerce, Was,hington 25, D. C.

TREND TO QUALITY SPURS DEMAND FOR OAK FLOORS

The floorward look is playing an important role in home planning today, according to trade reports. Veteran observers of decorating and building trends say that floors are commanding mote attention than at any time in recent years. The emphasis is on selection of attractive floors and use of room-size, area or accent rugs.

fn an increasingly large percentage of homes, it appears, oak or other handsomc hardwood is

the floor choice. Industry figures show, for example, that in the first three months of 1959, the demand for oak flooring was about 4Oo/o higher than in thc corresponding period last year.

This sharp rise is attributed by industry sources to two factors:

Because of its exquisite beauty of figure and coloring, which cannot be duplicated in manmade materials, oak is ideally suited to floor display, decorators point out. It harmonizes with any architectural style and any type of furnishings, period or contemporary. It can be finished with colorless transparent finishes which bring out th€ natural coloring of the wood or in finishes that are lighter or darker than natural. It also can be treated with stains available in a wide choice of decorator colors which permit the beauty of the wood grain pattern to show prominently. On the strictly practical side, oak offers the advantage of easy maintenance.

That home seekers have become intensely quality conscious is reflected not only in the strong preference for hardwood foors, which are noted for warmth. foot comfort, lifetime durability and the added resale value they give

a home, but also in the demand for such features as two or more batl.rrooms, plenty of closet space, a family room, bigg.er and better kitchens with fine ryood cabinets and built-in appliances. Basemehts also are among the wanted features in many areas.

Home seekers are able to tre more selective today and "make it stick," observers explain, due to expanded housing supply. Alert builders are quick to respond to the public's demands in a buyers' market. With surveys showing that such features as hardwood floors are favored by about 85% of home buyers, builders are eager to include them in the knowledge that they will helP sell houses faster.

NEW FLINTKOTE CEMENT PATCH PRODUCT ASSURES TIGHTER BONDS FOR R.EPAIRS

A new, fast-self-curing, easyto-mix latex cement patch product for repairing everything from a crack to a big hole in concrete or masonry, has been developed and is being marketed by The Flintkote Company. The Product, Latex Cement Patch, assures a tight, non-shrinking bond, tough, non-brittle topLpings, and reduces s'hrinkage to a minimum. It is viewed as a great improvement over conventional sand, cement and water mixtures. A general purpose compound which requires no primer and needs rbut a trowel or spatula to apply, it was especially formulated for use in area patching of concrete floors. walls, structural parts, beams, columns, foundations, curbs, railings and even complete surface refinishing Irom 1/76 inch up in thickness. It is available for lumber yards, hardware stores and other building products distributors.

OVERLAID PLYWOOD COMPARABLE IN PRICE TO REGULAR EXTERIOR PLYWOOD

Royal Harborite, an overlaid plywood comparable in price to regular exterior plywood, is now being ofiered by Harbor PIYwood Corporation of Aberdeen, Washington. It is said to be useable in hundreds of Places where regular exterior fir is used yet offers the benefits of a hard overlaid face at no increase in cost. Splitting, checking and grain raise, a problem with most exterior fir :plywood, is said to be virtually eliminated by RoYal Harborite's overlaid face. The overlay aids the workability and provides a smooth, Patch-free surface on which paint is easier to apply and lasts longer, requiring less maintenance.

It carries an attractive illustrated message urging the replacement of broken windows with L-O-F quality window glass during favorabld weather to keep property wellmaintained and for better aPPearance. The envelopes are furnished free to glass dealers in "reasonable quantities"'through their L-O-F distributors.

SLIDING GLASS DOORS RECODIZED TO END PITTING, DISCOLORATION

Homeowners with aluminum sliding glass doors no longer have to be plagued with the pitting and discoloration of the aluminum ext'rusions on their doors, according to Fred Van Ness, president of Sun Valley Industries, Inc., of Sun Valley, California, now using the Recodizing process in the manufacture of their aluminum units, to enhance the beauty of the aluminum and protect the finish from pitting and corrosion. The Recodized extrusions on the doors are unaffected by all solvents, mild alkalies and acids, and retain their 'beauty even in areas with extreme temperature changes. The process also makes the aluminum more resistant to scratching and abrasions.

$3.88

By W. E. I. Daviesb Chief Engineer, Converting Division, International Paper Company

When one of the nation's top lumber and building material organizations needs a new warehouse, it is only natural that it use wood wherever possible. The Long-Beli Lumber division of International Paper Company, Kansas City, Mo., carried through on this policy when it built a 2.4-acre building material warehouse in Kansas City, Kansas.

Thi result is a handsome, efficient, completely modern, pole-type and plywood-beam building which cost only $3.88 per square foot, including an air-conditioned ofiEce, railroad siding, truck docks, landscaping and a sprinkler system. Floor area is 105,000 sq. ft., and the building is 577 feet long.

The building not only meets the exacting requirements of low cost and efficiency, it also is a showcase of the latest developments in construction techniques and wood products which can be utilized in various industrial strucfures.

Early in the summer of 1958, the company decided to abandon the antiquated two-story and basement warehouse of limited space and high operating cost. Richard C. Doane, president of International Paper Co., earlier had spearheaded a program to determine whether the company Could expand its use of wood and wood products in new construction. At this time, I-P's Container division already was erecting an all-plywood plant at Auburndale, Fla., a plant which has since been hailed by architects, engineers and builders as an outstanding example of new wood uses and construction techniques.

So it was decided to go ahead full-speed with structure.

David R. Edwards, consulting structural engineer of Los Anggles, was retained to develop the structural design of the building. The architects were Fullerton & McCamis of Kansas City; the Estrin Construction Co. of Kansas City was the builder.

Plywood Fabriotots, Ins ls Young llarvel of Remanufacturing, Engineering

Whether it be making small pieces out of large ones, or over-size panels out of standard sizes, Plywood Fabricators, Inc., in Redwood Valley, Calif., can cut 'em up-or glue 'em up-as the case may be. Equipment with the latest machinery-including the only l0-foot scarfing machine on the West Coast-Plywood Fabricators has built a thriving business on the basis that standard 4x8 and 4x10 panels inay be just fine for component building-but not necessarily so for the huge, fast-growing industrial and specialty market.

The only independent plywood remanufacturing service in California, Plywood Fabricators can and has done just about everything with a standard panel-from rematru?acturing roof cleats in 2tf" widths tb the recent shipment of a solid 10' by 50' panel for a trailer bottom.

For example, one hot item last year, and a repeater in increased volume this year, was the remanufacturing of panels into box material, including printed plywood box 'sides, printed and embossed on the company's own two wood printing presses. Over 10,000,000 sq. ft. (yt" measure) of plywood went into this one operation alone last year, and

that figure is already in the dust according to this year's volume.

Refreshingly, and especially in view of its heavy industrial cutting, Plywood Fabricators, an associate member of N.P.D.A., operates on a strict "Jobbers-Only" policy, a policy that management firmly believes to be the best possible and most economical method of moving their product. Plywood Fabricators has performed in-transit panel milling and remanufacturing services for practically every Northern California plywood producer, large and small, and in each case delivery has been through either a company-owned or independent jobbing warehouse.

ftlqsonite ond Koppers Reseorch Component Woll Ponel To Ally Lumber Jobbers, Deolers in Smqll-Troct Sqle

Because Masonite Corporation sees the undeniable need for component walls in the homebuilding industry, it is accelerating its research program to develop a wall system that will be marketed to lumber iobbers and dealers for erection on the job, it has been disilosed by Paul B. Shoemaker, vice-president in charge of sales.

Well under way is Masonitets research with the Koppers Company to create an exterior wall component, and also an interior wall unit, utilizing the Koppers polystyrene, a formed-in-place sandwich-type core, with prefinished siding and a prefinished interior of Masonite hardboard, he said.

As the researchers now see them, the exterior load-bearing wall panels would have insulation, vapor barrier, two factory-finished surfaces and wiring and heating facilities; while the interior partition wall panels would likewise have prefinished surfaces, be narrow to save floor space, moveable and functional.

He described the proposed panels as an evolutionary development in Masonite's research which has developed such component wall systems as Duowall, Panelok and the insulated panels used experimentally in the Knoxville research house of 1958 sponsored by the NAHB Research Institute. Here, the exterior was Masonite Sunline siding, the interior Masonite Misty Walnut.

Discussing the building industry's need for component walls that are ready to install on the job, Shoemaker said:

"New products like the complete wall section have a number of merits that will be iecognized by many in the building and building supply fields. The component panel, made under factory-controlled conditions, is a better prod-

uct than can be made on the job site. It is uniform in construction and interchangeable.

"The trend to component construction, aside from the uniformity of quality and construction standpoints, is an economic necessity. Components made under mass production methods in the factory cost less than conventional construction by costly labor in the field. Completion of construction is quickened, of course.

"Another factor often overlooked is that in our 1960-1965 economy we will not have the labor to build all the homes we need by conventional construction methods." One reason for the rapid increase in use of components for home construction, the sales executive added, is that builders and building supply dealers have felt the competition from the producers of manufactured homes and are therefore turning to similar production techniques.

By following the traditional method of component panels through lumber jobbers he continued, Masonite Corporation will small builders and tract builders alike to nomically.

The new Masonite component panel, which most likely will be erected against steel splines so that functional walls can be achieved as in the Masonite Duowall and Panelok systems, won't be ready for marketing for several months, Shoemaker added.

John W. FISHER

John W. Fisher, a beloved veteran of the Southern California retail lumber industry, died August 9 at his Santa Monica home. He had been confined to his bed since a stroke early this April had caused him to forego his usual attendance at the first annual convention of the Southern Cali-fornia Retail Lumber Assn. that he had missed in many, many years. His age was 86 but his activity belied it.

Mr. Fisher started retailing lumber with the L. F. Croven Lumber Co. in 1896 in Taintor, Iowa, working there seven years. In 1903 he joined the Hawkeye Lumber Co., Oskaloosa, but quit because of low wages in l9l2 and started the Fisher Lumber Co. in Centerville. Iowa. lle sold that yard in 1920 and, went to Long Beach, Calif., where he started the Century Lumber Co. later that year. He sold that yard in the Fall of 1922 and opened the John W. Fisher Lumber Co. in Santa Monica in the Spring of. 1923. For the next 23 years, Mr. Fisher was one of the most forward-looking lumber merchants in the area, training many outstanding young dealers who later went out on their own to carry on his fine ideals. He sold the Santa Monica yard in December 1946 to Tom Fox, who had been with him many years, but maintained his active advisory participation in the yard that bears his name until his stroke this Spring. Mr. Fisher was a business and civic leader of the Bay City, one of 15 early residents who drafted its present city charter, and served its chamber of commerce. He was a presi-

Crftilrrcrry

dent of both the old California Retail Lumbermen's Assn. and, in 1939 and 194O, the present SCRLA. He continued as a director of the dealer group until he sold the yard to Mr. Fox in 1946.

Mr. Fisher leaves his wife, Frances, o'f the home at 231 20th St., Santa Monica; a grand-daughter, Maureen Fox Brown, Anaheim, a great-grandson, a sister and a niece. Funeral services were held August 11 in the First Methodist church in Santa Monica, with members of his industry there in respect to his leadership. Entombment was made in Woodlawn mausoleum in Santa Monica.

Ernesl F. GANAHI

Ernest F. Ganahl, an early lumber merchant of Anaheim, Calif., died there July 29 at the age of 70, still active in his retail business. He was born in Los Angeles, June 11, 1889, of a long line of lumbermen and was prominent in the Southern California retail lumber industry 55 years. E,rnest Ganahl became associated with the business in Anaheim in 1904 when the old Grim Lumber Co. was purchased by his family. His father, F. J. Ganahl, operated one of the leading retail yards in the Los Angeles area. Ernest opened the yard in Anaheim in 1922 of which he was still co-owner at his death. He belonged to many civic clubs, was an active member of the Southern California Retail Lumber Assn., and a hard worker in his church, lodge and community activities.

Mr. Ganahl leaves his wife, May; his son, John F., a co-ovi/ner of the Ernest Ganahl Lumber Co. at 501 E. Center St., Anaheim; three daughters: Mrs. Mary Eimers, Fullerton; Mrs. Nancy Lewis, Whittier, and Mrs. Margaret Concannon, Livermore ; a brother, Vincent, Los Angeles; 17 grandchildren, and his cousin, Connie C. Ganahl, also a pioneer local lumberman, of the C. Ganahl Lumber Co., in downtown Los Angeles. The Rosary was recited July 31 at Saint Boniface Catholic church in Anaheim, with High Requiem mass celebrated there August 1. Interment was made in Holy Sepulchre cemetery.

Gentlemen:

As president of the Southern California Door Institute, I would respectfully like to call to your attention the following letter which Jack Carlow, one of our members and an attorney, sent.to the Premier of Japan under date of July 31. Mr. Carlow calls the present alarming situation in which the door manufacturers find themselves "An Economic 'Pearl Harbor'," and we believe his Open Letter will serve to acquaint the industry with a state of affairs that needs immediate straightening-out.

Cordially yours, C. E. Strait. President. Southern California Door Institute (copv)

His Excellency, the Japanese Premier. Nobusuke Kishi Tokyo, Japan

Dear Mr. Premier:

On two seperate occasions during the last four years, I have made appearances in U. S. Tariff Commission hearings in Washington, D.C. to do what I could to prevent restrictions on imported plywood.

As a result of my last appearance during April of this year, Mr. Hans Reiner, President of the Imported Hardwood Plywood Association and Mr. M. Iwasaki, Chief of the Japanese delegation joined in writing the enclosed letter dated April 17, 1959. (Editor's note: The letter referred to is printed below immediately following this one.)

I do not doubt for one minute the sincerity or integrity of the writers. Yet, "mountains" of Japanese Lauan doorskins and stock panels are arriving every day from third countries. These evasions of Japanese voluntary quotas plus other evasions i.e. veneer sets, hardboard cores, paper cores and painted backs are causing severe financial losses to door manufacturers and panel users. The specifications on the crates speak for themselves. Surelv. millions of feet going to Singapore. Hong Kong, ilIacao.'Bremen, Rotterdam and other places where former shipments were negligible must indicate to you that something has gone awry. Lauan allocations are excessive. Many door manufacturers cabled MITI to reduce quotas last fali, but the cables were disregarded. The letter of April 17th indicates that your g'overnment was involved in setting up controls to prevent evasions. That being true, the responsibility for the present evasions mtr.st be placed on it.

It would seem that an immediate embargo of Japanese Lauan exports is indicated while you investigate. The quota for the 4th quarter on Luaun should be abandoned and no shipments made against it. Finally, the Japanese government, itself, might consider take over the export allocations and selling the plywood to American buyers at auctions rather than through trading companies.

These measures would reduce losses and would demonstrate the sincerity of your government's voluntary quotas.

Yours trulv.

As with all control measures and agreements applying to a large and varied group of producers and business organizations, it is, as a practical matter, almost impossible to completely prevent evasion. Since these additional measures were put into effect, you and others have called to our attention a number of situations in which the control measures would appear to have 'been evaded. We all will agree that evasion of control measures may cause disruption in the market and at times may create inequities between consumers.

In view of the situation which developed over the past few months, JPEA, JPMA and the Japanese Government have adopted a new set of controls designed again to prevent further avoidance of the control measures. Through agreement between the members of JPEA, JPMA and the Japanese Government, the new laws adopted in Japan relative to these new controls provide strict penalties. Only by experience can it be determined whether the new controls will be completely effective. Furthermore, in the light of the demand in the United States for the Japanese product, and in view of political considerations, present controls may have to be changed from time to time.

However, this is to assure you that it is the intention of JPEA, JPMA and IHPA to do everything within their respective powers to make the new control measures completely effective. Representatives of the JPEA and JPMA here at the Tariff Commission hearing assure you that their respective organizations will insist upon penalization of those as to whom it may be established violate the new controls. We would appreciate it if you would call to the attention of IHPA any situations which you believe are in violation of or evasion of these ncw measures.

For

IHPA Executive Conrmittee,

Hans Rainer President

Sincerely yours,

M. Iwasaki Chief, Japanese Delegation

Editorial from the 'Humboldt Standard," Eureka, California, Friday, luly 17, 1959-the day that the Northwestern California Lunobermen's Club became Hrunboldt Hoo-Hoo Ctub 63:

,,HOO.HOO" COMES TO HUMBOTDT

"The Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo" is one of those titles that suggest an organization of regular fellers. In fact, "suggest" is a mild word. Hoo-Hoo is a fraternal lodge of lumrbermen, nationwide in scope, whose standing is of the highest.

Accordingly, we were pleased to learn that the Northwestern California Lumbermen's Club will affiliate with Hoo-Hoo tonight. High officials will come to Humboldt to confer degrees and initiate the new membership.

"Concatenated" is one of those words that has a different meaning from the way it sounds. Webster defines it.as "linked together; forming a chain or series." Boiled down, that would seem to mean pulling together.

As for the "Hoo-Hoo" part-that probably derives from the voice of the bird of wisdom, which is fitting and apropos. Altogether, it is a pleasant and unique name for just such an organization-or so we see it.

NCLC Now Humboldt Hoo-Hoo Glub 63

The first official meeting of Humboldt Hoo-Hoo Club 63 (formerly the Northwestern California Lumbermen's Club, Eureka) was staged in Arcata on Friday evening, July 77, f.or the purpose of concatenating 38 Kittens into the realm of Hoo-Hoo Land. In addition to the Kittens, Club 63 also netted 10 "stray" cats for reinstatement, giving the club a starting membership of 48 charter members. A special official touch was added by the presence of Supreme Custocatian Jack Berry, of Sacramento, and Northern California Deputy State Snark Hugh Pessner, of San Francisco.

. The big meeting, the last of the NCLC and the first as Humboldt Hoo-Hoo Club 63, was held at the Bella Vista Inn and got under way with an hour of libations at 6:59 p.m., followed by dinner at 8:29 p.m., with the big Concat moving into high gear at 9:59 p.m. The initiatory Degree Team was presided over by Snark Wendell Paquette, former head of San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club 9.

After the Concat, the charter for the new club was presented to the Club 63 prexy, Tobe Moehnke, owner of Brightwood Lumber Company. Other former NCLC officers and directors who will continue on in the same capacity until Club 63 elections during September 1960, include:

Jay Gan-rsby, Wildcat Logging Co., vice-president, and Harold Fredin, also of Brightwood Lumber Co., secretarytreasurer.

Directors of the new club include trd Cahill. Thon,pkins I Co. ; Glen Peterson, R. H. Emmerson & Son; Henry Jacobs, Bearings and Transmission Products; Don Metcalf, The Pacific !"ry!"1Co.; Phil Debaldi, J. & W. Lumber Co.; Arnie Jepsen, R. H. Emmerson & Son; Rhuner Anderson, R. H. Emmerson, and Art Milhaupt, Fremont Forest Products.

48 Charter Members Start Off Club

The Applications for Membership in the renamed Humboldt HooHoo Club 63 at the July 17 meeting were from:

Not only does Hoo-Hoo interest itself in its basic motif, the lumber business in all of its ramifications, but likewise it is a service club. As such, it participates actively in local community projects wherever it is established, to promote the general welfare.

Hoo-Hoo is no recent comer to the ranks of fraternal-service type orders. It was established some sixty-seven years ago by a dedicated and fun-loving group of lumbermen, and has become a spokesman for that business wherever lumber is produced and sold.

By the very breadth of its scope-business, friendship, service, and pleasul6-Hoo-Hoo has distinguished itself, as versus organizations that hew to a narrower trail. Certainly, that is one of the prime reasons for its success and long-establishment.

Whether in the lumber business or not, we of Eureka and Humboldt welcome this outstanding organization to our roster of lodges and clubs. Hoo-Hoo will be a credit to this region, and the Northwestern California lumbermen are to be consratulated accordingly.

Thus another positive link is added to the Redwood Empire's chain.

J. G. Ziel Elected President of Philippine Xlqhogony Assn.

The Ojai Valley Inn and Country Club, Ojai, California, was the setting for the 26th annual meeting of the Philippine Mahogany Association, Inc., held July l3 through 15. Three full days were spent discussing the problems of this rapidly expanding industry. Reports were received from the retiring president, C. J. Atkinson of Toronto, Canada, and Execdtive Secretary George D. Scrim. One of the highlights of the reports was the disclosure that, in the past ten years, the Philippine Mahogany Association has spent close to $300,000 publicizing Philippine mahogany.

J. G. Ziel'was elected to serve.as president for the 1959-60 fiscal year. In addition, T. B. Bledsoe was elected vicepresident, George D. Scrim as executive secretary-treasurer, and H. V. Coffev as assistant secretary. P.M.A. members

were saddened later in the month at the news that VicePresident Bledsoe had passed au'ay suddenly on July 23.

Special recognition was' given to President Emeritus Walter G. Scrim, who, because of a serious illness, was unable to attend. A vote of thanks was extended to the Philippine Lumber Producers' Association for their continuing interest and support.

Members and their wives were treated to a Hayride in true western fashion, as well as being entertained at a Steak Fry. The social aspect of the meeting was highlighted by the traditional banquet held the evening of the l5th.

It was announced that six firms had joined the Association. These firms and their representatives at the meeting were: Coffey Lumber Company, Los Angeles (H. V.

ovation when he was presented his "Past Presidents" pin by Rameses 29, C. D. LeMaster, who is also Seer of lhe House of Ancients. "Le," as he is affectionately known to all Hoo-Hoo, took this opportunity to briefly 6xplain National Forest Products week, which will be held iach year from now on during the week of September'9th, to honor the fraternal order of lumbermen and the industry.

To further honor Snark Braley, he was named "President Emeritus," for his faithful guidance of the club and

hard work during his tenure of office. Don will serve on the Steering committee and aid the new board of directors to raise money for club activities and charity donations.

One of the highlights of the evening was the presentation of golf and door prizes. Chuck Lember and his staff did a splendid job in selection of more than a dozen fine gifts for the lucky Cats. Harvey Koll handed out gift orders to the warriors of the l8-hole course who had a good day.

As usual, Don Vogt won the low gross prize with a 76. In the first flight, Ken Kenoffel was lst low net and Dick Nelson placed 2nd. Emil Lug was lst low net in the 2nd flight and (of all people) incoming Snark Harold Cole was 2nd. The 3rd flight low net was won by Rudy Roodman with a 62.

Retailer Harry Boand, immediate past president, was the winner of the Retailer prize but was not present to receive it-so it was held over for the luckv merchant winner at the September 11 contest. Paul Sink, general manager of \tlason Supplies, was the winner of the guest prize. The Blind Bogey money was "split" between Tom Crain and retailer "Bud" Nelson. And Chairman Koll reoorts the Hole-In-One cash is building again for some lucky'guy with a good eye for distance.

Loud and boisterous enthusiasm greeted the entertainers. Mistress of Ceremonies Billie Bird opened the show with fast and witty remarks to prepare the "Lumber Jacks" for the coming events. Then Siad Symal took over with her Oriental dances, with accompanist Jack Aaronson at the piano. She was followed by Jackie Paul, who entertained the group with her interpretive exhibit of the mystery dances of the seven ( ?) veils, and then poor Russ Clark had to follow with his fine puppet act as the closer. Believe it or not, the little miniature dolls furnished the wild men of lumber with the most amusement. However, it was real good entertainment and all arranged by Larry Weiland.

As his last official act as president of Club 2, Don Braley adjourned the meeting. He thanked the membership for its genuine support during the past year and declared he enjoyed his tenure at the helm of the largest Hoo-Hoo club in the world. He asked for full support of the incoming Snark Cole, and again called upon the Cats to attend all meetings.

"Only by your attendance do you show your interest in your club. And remember, you will get just as much out of Hoo-Hoo as you put in," he said.

That's the way an employee of the Nevada Lumber Company of Tahoe Valley, Calif., put it following a recent company picnic on the sandy shores of Lake Tahoe.

The annual party was hosted by F. K. (Speck) Rahbeck and Harold Dayton of the lumber concern on a bright Sunday afternoon in July.

More than 150 people were present, including children of Nevada Lumber's employes, and there were games and refreshments for all, topped with a steak fryin the late afternoon.

And boating, waterskiing and swimming were the all-day diversions in the cool waters of Lake Tahoe.

Nevada Lumber Company recently completed its fourth expansion in l1 years and the number of employes during that time has steadily increased until the concern now is one of the major employers in the fast-growing Tahoe Valley area of California.

"One of the advantages of working at Lake Tahoe is getting to play at Lake Tahoe."

lmportont Action Token ot NLilIA Spring Xleeting

A special advisory committee on government relations to deal with national aftairs and legislation affecting the lumber industry was established by action of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association's board of directors at its annual spring meeting, June 4, at the Traymore hotel, Atlantic City, New Jersey.

The scope of the activities of this new committee will include lending assistance to the operating staff of the Association to "mobilize the leadership of the lumber industry in the Association's relations with Congress and federal g,overnment agencies" whose actions affect the economy of. the industry, according to A. Z. Nelson, director of NLMA's Industry-Government Affairs Division, who was appointed secretary of the new committee.

-In establirhi"s the Committee, Robert M. Ingram of. Aberdeen, Washington, president of the Association, ap- pointed John D. Bronson of Yakima, Washington, chaiiman.

Another important resolution directly affecting the economy of the industry was the approval given to the establishment of an "Economic CounCil of theLumber Industry." The Council was directed to meet annually to consider ihe long-range problems of forest and lumber manufacturers and to make recommendations to the Board as to industrv plans, programs and activities deemed desirable.

The Council will have a membership representing all points of view to make possible full discussion of all facets of _the industry's problems, according to the announcement.

Standing committees of the Association were directed to further study other areas of the industry for increasing its efficiency in cooperating with allied interests. These include the Committee on Building Codes and Trade Promotion, which is to consider means of insuring that the quality of lumber supplied by distributors is consistent with specifica- tions and that lumber buyers specify correctly.

The Special Committee on Education is to step up its activity by participating in education programs of the Forest Products Research Society. This is to be a joint program to provide students of all ages with more and better information on wood as a material and on opportunities for employment or a career in a wood industry.

Other action taken by the lumbermen during their fiveday .sessions included adoption of a resolutiorr asking the presidents of the 17 federated associations represented in the National to make written requests at least twice a year to melnbers not presently participating in the National Wood Promotion Program, urging their support of the current activities of the NWPP.

The board also proposed a cooperative program of merchandising and promotion involving the Natironal association and officials of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, designed to enlist the cooperation of the trade groups in the National Wood Promotion Program.

A proposal that the staff of NLMA prepare details of a ten-year all-embracing Wood Promotion Program designed "to provide and promote wood markets on equal terms with the efforts of producers of materials competitive with lumber," was given approval by the board and will be presented in detail at the meeting of the National Wood Promotion Committee during NLMA's annual meeting in Novembet in Washington, D.C.

Resolutions deglgned to accelerate the NWPP during the remainder of 1959 and through 1960 were given appioval by the National Wood Promotion Committee. The NWPP was launched in February with a series of colorful advertisements in leading cohsumer, architect, building and school_management publications. It is aimed at incrEasing the_ public's interest in wood as a modern building material and improving the public's image of the industry.

The program also includes a staff of wood technologists employed to _survey the industry and promote the ac&ptance of wood as a building material. This staff of expeits calls upon architects, engineers, builders and school ofiflcial's to demonstrate wood uses.

Based on the theme, "There's Nothing in the World Like Wood," the Program for the rest of tliis year and 1960 will step up the advertising, merchandising -and technical field coverage, and include closer retail and wholesale trade promotion cooperation at the local.level, according to the resolutions adopted.

A. B. Hood of the Ralph L. Smith Lumber Co., former president of th9 Western Pine Association, and Ja'ck Fairhurst of the Fairhurst Lumber Co., recent presid-ent of the West Coast Lumbermen's Assn., were thre two Californians who attended and took active parts in the NLMA Spring meeting, at which the FHA's C.

'Termites in PorodisG'- C.R.A. Gives Aid to Hqwqiiqn Builders

Hawaiian architects and builders are benefiting from an intensive lumber education program intended to help prevent termite attack of Island residences. The anti-termite piogram was undertaken by the California Redwood Associatibn, San Francisco, at the request of Hawaiian lumber distributors concerned over'the uie of improper grades of redwood in residential building in Hawaii.

In a series of letters to Island architects. builders. and others closely related to the home building industry, Philip T. Farnsworth, executive vice-president of the CRA, explains that the famous redwood trees of Northern California prbduce two different types of wood. The heartwood, which is the characteristically reddish-brown wood from which the tree derives its name, is exceptionally durable and has excellent resistance to decay and termite attack. The sapwood is a light cream color and is no more resistant to decav and insects than the wood of less -durable species. Heartw6od and sapwood' are easily distinguished by their color.

One firmly worded letter from Farnsworth to more than 500 architects, builders, lumber dealers, government officials, building inspectors and savings and loan ofifrces states: ". where decay hazards are high or there is exposure to insect damage, use only all heartwood grades. As a hatter of fact we strongly recommend never using A Grade, or other redwood_grades containing the white sapwood, in the Hawaiian Islands. Redwood has a good record of durability in Hawaii, but it will keep that record only if you specify it ac-curately.,'

Despiteihe sharp differences 6etwein heartwood and'sapwood, according to Farnsworth, redwood lumber containing non4urable sapwood is being used in residential construction- in the Hawaiian Islands in inireasing amounts.

The.fact is that sapwood is -borrowing on the reputation for durability- earned by all-heart redwood, biut is unabli to give the same performance. The results, said Farnsworth, could 6e quite serious-both to the Hawaiian homeowner beset with termite problems, and redwood lumber manufacturers.

As a trade association, the California Redwood Association is responsible for protecting the interests of both the redwood producers and redwood users. The CRA chose to work mainlv through Hawaiian architects and builders. Farnsworth said, since these two professional groups specify the materials and grades of materials to be used in res-ideniial and commercial building.

.The^redwood program had its actual beginning last Winter, when field promotion representatives of the California Redwood Association spent tw_o weeks in the Honolulu area, contacting lumber dealers and distributors, architects, builders'and homel owners.

repute.

Given a good character, the reputation of a business depends upon good service and good publicity. But it sometimes happens that the business possessing good character fails of its utmost possibilities because its good characteristics-goods, service, integrity, etc.-are not sufficiently well-known to its public.

There are cobwebs across many business doors where the character is the very highest. It reguires service and publicity to translate character into reputation.

Loveroni lumber Co. Gets Write-up On R.etqil Operotion in Newspoper

"Whatever your need in building supplies, the chances are Laveroni's Lumber Co. has it if anyone does," said the Oakdale, Calif., Leader in a recent feature story on the nearby retail yard. Owners and operators of the company are George and Mary Laveroni. Located at the southwest edge of Groveland, the retail lumberyard also features hardwale, paint, fishing and camping supplies, automobile batteries, small appliances, refrigerators, stoves, washing machines and dryers.

"We can handle any job-big or small," is the motto of the dealers, who further promise, "If we can't, we can get it for you in 24 hours."

The Laveronis have been at their location about five years. Prior to that they operated a lumber mill about six miles east of town for 10 years. At the present location they service Cherry Valley, Evergreen Lodge, Sonora, Coulterville and the Greeley district.

The yard is open six days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.-., but the dealers answer many calls at other hours as they live next door to the store. Many is the time they have answered the call of a stricken motorist or camper in the middle of the night.

The Laveronis owned the Iron Door, a historical place, from 1937-48. The Laveroni name is colorfully linked to much of the history of the area. The lumber folks have two children -Mary, 15, in high school, and Gary, 24, who is in college.

No lUlusic

"And have you music at the church?"

I asked the rural squire.

"V/al, nor" said he, "Can't say we haveJest singin' by the choir."

[.clw of Kindness

Frances E. Willard wrote: Just as you now play a piece, without music, and do not think what notes you strike, though once you picked them out by slow and patient toil, so, if you begin with set Purpose, you will learn the law of kindncss in utterance so perfectly that it will be second nature to you and make more music in your heart than all the songs the sweetest voice has ever sung.

Mokes Perfect

"You cough more easily this morning," said the doctor as he sat down at the patient's bedside.

"I should," said the sick man. "I practiced twelve hours last night."

Dependobiliry

Dependability is one of the choicest virtues to possess, and the man or woman who lacks it is a mighty good person to stay away from and steer clear of. A person may have minor faults that we can laugh off but, by the great horned spoon, if we are not able to depend on him, he may take one side of the street and we will take the other. If you have a boy and you find, as you sometimes will, that you cannot teach him everything you'd like him to know, for the love you bear him, teach him one thing-dependability.

It Tcrkes So lirtle-

It takes so little to make us glad,

Just the cheering clasp of a friendly hand,

Just a word from one who can understand, And we finish the task we long have planned; And we lose the doubt and fear we had-

So little it takes to make us glad.

His Comploint

It doesn't go this way in Western pictures these days but this really happened long ago:

It was a wide-open Western mining town where desperadoes were everyday affairs, and a tough-looking hombre in a big hat, a long mustache, a black scowl,. and two guns in plain sight, stomped angrily into the office of the local newspaper and demanded of the modest-looking little man working at the desk:

"Are you the guy that runs this blankety-blank, blanketyblank newspaper?"

"I am," said the little fellow, never even looking up.

"Then you're the blankety-blank, blankety-blank coyote that wrote the piece in the paper that said I was a jailbird, a cattle thief, and a yellow hound?"

Said the editor: "Sure. I wrote it. What of it?"

The wild one was taming down rapidly. He said: "Just this. I want you to understand ttrat my name isn't W. K. Mudge; it's W. H. Mudge, see? And the next time you write something about me, you get my name straight. See?"

The Friend Who Stonds By

When trouble comes your soul to try'

You love the friend who just "stands by."

Perhaps there's nothing he can do, The thing is strictly up to you; For there are troubles all your own And paths the soul must tread alone; Times when love can't smooth the road, Nor friendship lift the heavy load.

But just to know you have a friend

Who will "stand by" until the end, Whose sympathy through all endures, Whose warm handclasp is always yours; It helps, some way, to pull you through, Although there's nothing he can do. And so, with fervent heart, we cry, "God bless the friend who just stands by."

Educotion

Education is a companion which no fortune can depress, no crime destroy, no enemy alienate, no despotism enslave. At home, a friend; abroad, an introduction; in solitude, a solace; and in society, an ornament. Without it, what is man? A splendid slave, a reasoning savage.-Varle.

(Continued from Page 6) destroy it, but that if it ever dies it will be from within and not from without.

The authors of the Declaration founded this nation and

established the foundations upon which it has grown and prospered. They ordained that men should govern men but that the power and authority to govern must come from the consent of the governed. Therefore, Americans of today are self-governed, but with no loss of the precious liberty to which every root and fiber of our original government was dedicated.

One of the most enticing pictures in American history is that of the actual writing of the precious document. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, the closest of friends, vigorously debated who would do the actual writing, each suggesting that the other do it. All others were eliminated. It was between these two. Finally Adams said: "I won't do it. There are three reasons why you must. First, 5zou ?r€ a Virginian, and Virginia must take the lead in this; second, I am not popular personally, and you are the opposite; and, third, you can write ten times better than I can." So Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. Certainly the hand of God must have b*een steering his pen.

It is strange to relate that these two men who had so much to do with the founding of the United States should die at almost the same time, and on the Fourth of July. As Adams was dying, his last thought was of Jefferson, and with his final breath he said, "Thomas Jefferson still lives." But, in fact, Jefferson had passed on just an hour ahead of Adams. His last words w*ere: "This is the Fourth of July."

Since the signing of the Declaration in 1776, the germ of freedom has been spreading and finding root throughout the world. People in the enslaved countries have longed for it. People in free countries have proclaimed and adopted it. America has been struggling, fighting, and sacrificing, not only for the independence of nations but for something more precious, more glorious, the freedom of the individual. We want every child of God anywhere on this earth to be able to stand on equal footing with his fellows, so that he can say: "This is my air, my earth, my sunshine; I have

ESTHER WILLIAMS POOL WILL MAKE BIG SPLASH AS 'GLAMOUR' DOOR PRIZE AT N.R.L.D.A. EXPOSITION

A new note of glamor for the building materials dealer will be added to National Retail Lumber Dealers Association's 6th annual Building Products Exposition in Cleveland this fa1l. A complete, full-scale Esther Williams Living Pool will provide a triplethreat attraction for the thousands of lumber dealers who will flock to Cleveland for NRLDA's 1959 Exposition, November 14 through 17. Climaxing the -four days of splashing activity will be the awarding of the pool as a door prize to some lucky dealer in registered attendance.

The E,sther Williams "Living Pool" is a revolutionary new "split-level" model constructed of steel-reinforced California Redwood. The installation in the NRLDA Exhibit Hall will be complete with randomwidth redwood decking, will have i6x32 feet of swimming area and will range in depth from 3l to 7l feet. The pool will be fully equipped and ready for permanent installation at tl-re lucky dealer's home for his Dersonal and familv use-or at his store as a life-size display of Americats most wanted ontdoor living home improvement.

Requiring excavation for only the four-foot deep diving bowl, the pool's simplified installation has so dramatically reduced cost, says its manufacturer, that any family that car-r afford an automobile can now afford a swimming pool. International Swimming Pool Corporation of White Plains, New York, is exclusive manufacturer of the pool. The firm states that current sales are running at a rate of $28,000,000 a year.

June Gonstruction Contrqcls Glose ro All-rime Peok

Construction contracts in the United States in Tune rose sharply over May on a seasonally adjusted basis, iccording to F. W. Dodge Corporation, although they are slightly below the all-time peak reached in June of last year. The dollar value of contracts in June was $3,659,017,000, down 4/o from June 1958.

According to Dodge vice-president and economist, Dr. George Cline Smith, June 1958 "was the highest month ever recorded, partly because of government stimulation of housing and highways as an anti-recession measure at that time. The current figure is almost as high, but without these special stimulants."

Sharp gains were in apartment buildings, up 46/o over June 1958; one and two-family houses, up 30/o, and commercial buildings, up 24/o. Total residential contracts for

June, at $1,761,621,000, were up 29/o from last year; residential buildings, at $1,055,333,000, were up 8%. Cumulative figures for the first half of 1959, with centage changes from the corresponding period of last show non-residential buildings, $5,717,560,000, up 4/o ; dential, $8,884,451,000, up 37/o.

NAHB President Urges Housing Bill

San Francisco.-Addressing a luncheon of the first annual Pacific Builders' Conference in the Sheraton-Palace here, July 8, Carl T. Mitnick, president of the Natl. Assn. of Home Builders, told his audience he was returning immediately to Washington to fight for a compromise housing bill. He said that without new legislation there might be chaos in the construction industry. He had begun an attack on President Eisenhower's veto of the bill at a meeting the previous day.

Other developments at the Conference included a prediction of a tighter money market the rest of the year by a group of western bankers and mortgage experts, and a prediction of the use of more aluminum in house construction by Builder Earl W. ("Flat-top") Smith, who also foresaw faster development of "new products for better homes."

The first annual Conference attracted 2,000 builders from the 1l western states.

How to Cut Gosts

Whether the problem is one of excessive costs for freight transfer or warehousing, Long-Bell's new warehouse demonstrates that modern pole-type construction can be used to speed-up materials handling, reduce costs, and provide adequate storage space. Only a few months' operation already has proved the many advantages gained by replacing an obsolete building with a modern warehouse geared to today's needs.

Pole-type Wqrehouse t$3.88 per Sq. Ft.

(Continued from Page 14)

foundations, and so concrete pads were poured for seating the pole bases. Poles are 23 to 30 ft. long, and 8 to 10 inches in diameter at 6 feet from the butt.

After the poles were aligned, earth was backfilled around them. The result is substantial savings in time and money over the elaborate forming-up of concrete piers which would have been required if steel had been used.

To dCtermine the optimum spacing of poles to form bays, an extensive survey was made oI previously constructed pole buildings, both in the area and in other parts of the country. In some cases, the span in one direction was as great as 30-35 feet. However, in the other direction, the span was often as short as 15 ft.

For operating efficiency, the engineers and architects decided that the new warehouse should have wide bay spacing in both directions. This was achieved by spanning

30 feet in one. direction with plywood girders built on the site, and by spanning 24 feet the other direction with rough Zxl2-inch joists.

To provide an 18-ft. clearance from the floor and eliminate knee braces, the walls and roof, which were sheathed with plywood, were designed as enormous flat beams. This diaphragm absorbs wind loads on the sides of the building in shear walls which were placed at right angles and especially designed to take these forces.

Throughout the construction period, work progressed with amazing speed. Ground was broken in mid-August 1958, and the structure was completed in late March 1959. Much of the construction went forward during the traditional bad-weather months. Time and again, near-zero temperatures were encountered along with sleet, snow and ice. But still the time-table was met.

It is interesting to note that the contractor and his men first approached their assignment with an air of skepticism. This soon vanished. however. as thev saw how the work

progressed. In fact, they became so enthused about the project that they pointed out features of the new structure to all interested visitors-and these numbered more than a few as word passed around among local building circles.

Those who have inspected the facilities have commented on how amazingly straight and clean-looking the poles appear. However, it is well established that poles with these characteristics are readily available for pole-type construction.

The warehouse walls are of high-density overlaid plywood using stainless steel nails obtained on an experimental basis.

The air-conditioned, well-appointed office area is one large showroom which highlights the various uses to which plywood and other wood products can be put. Wall partitions within the office are constructed of two sheets ol plywood glued to corrugated paperboard, thus providing insulation and support.

Poles and sills were pressure-treated with a 5% solution of pe_ntachlorophenol to a retention of 8 lbs. per'cubic foot (0.4 lbs. of dry chemical).

Now that the warehouse has been completed and put into use, it appears that the structure will reajize all hopes foreseen for it. Overall construction cost was lower thin all expectations. The contractor, carpenters. and laborers found the building easy to construct. All indications are that it will be relatively.maintenance-free and will have a life span equal to comparable buildings of other type construction.

The building provides a showcase of lumber and forest products, an important facet to an organization like LoneBell. It is pleasing to the eye and trighty efficient for th"e purpose for which it was designed-the warehousing of lumber, plywood and other wood products for distribu-tion to retail outlets in the Kansas City area.

What more could anyone ask of a building?

Lompoc, California, has received HHFApproval of its workable program to eliminate slums and blight and guide the community's orderly development. The city 45 miles northwest of Santa Barbara is experiencing a population explosion brought on by missile and space-age activities at both the Vandenberg Air Force Base and the U.S. Navy's Missile Range. Lompoc's population swelled from 6,665 in 1957 to 9,000 at the end of 1958, and is estimated to reach 22,000 by January 1960 and climb to 40,000 by 1965 with development of the two bases. The Santa Barbara County Housing Authority has applied for federal assistance in providing 50 units of a low-rent public housing to be built in the community, and Lompoc has received federal advances of $38,700 and $47,000 for planning of extensions to its sewage system and water supply and distribution system, r'espectively. The city plans to complete and adopt a Housing code by June 1960. After WWII it instituted a program under an "anti-shack" ordinance to eliminate substandard housing built during the war period. No relocation housing is immediately available for those who would be displaced by demolition of substandard units. Subdivision regulations will also be adopted. Refer: Mayor H. G. Thompson.

CFApproval of a $2E,500 advance to Whatcom County, Washington, was given for preliminary planning of a highway 'bridge to be built near Bellingham. This westernmost county in the U.S. lies along the 49th Parallel which forms the U.S.-Canadian boundary from Lake of the Woods, Minn.. to Point Roberts in Whatcom county, a distance of 1,280 miles. The proposed bridge is a step toward developing the tourist resources of Washington's San Juan Islands, which lie between the Mainland and Vancouver Island, B.C. The area is largely undeveloped and unsettled due to t,he many miles of ferry travel to reach the major islands. Construction is expected to begin in 1961 on the estimated $1,900,000 project.

TECO BOWSTRING TRUSS DESIGN SERIES

New $ales ldeas... City of Los Angeles Updotes Groding ond Grode-Stomp Rules

A series of typical segmental bowstring truss designs for spans ranging from 30' to 100" and utilizing a spacing of 16' o.c. is available from Timber Engineering Company. The series consists of a total of eight typical designs in span increments of 10'.

Prepared for a total live and dead load of 45# p.c.f., the designs are based on the Teco timber connector system of construction and use Teco WedgeFit split rings throughout. Complete information as to stress diagrams, dimensions, and lumber and hardware requirements is provided on each design.

The versatility of timber and the excellent timber design data available make it possible to build almost any type of roof truss with wood. The designs made available by TECO are only a few of over 200 typical timber truss designs prepared by the engineering and research organization for the guidance of architects and engineers. Those desiring the Teco bowstring truss design series may obtain same by writing Timber Engineering Company, 1319' 18th Street, N.W., Washington 6, D. C. Ask for "Teco Bowstring Series."

Something to look up to-a ceiling of California redwoodis the subject of a new fourpage illustrated data sheet by the California Redwood Association. Ceiling designs by noted architects for homes. schools and commercial structures in narrow and wide patterns, lapped courses, board-on-board, bevel siding, angled board, and plank and beam construction show off the versatility of California redwood. The data sheet also points out that redwood adds a mellow warmth to any room in the house, has a remarkable degree of dimensional stability, high insulation value, resistance to fire, and gives adequate sound absorption for all but the most intense noise. The use of redwood plank ceilings with post-and-beam construction provides warmth, natural beauty and textural interest. Single copies of the new data sheet may be obtained without charge (volume orders at cost) from the Dealer Service Library, California Redwood Association, 576 Sacrarnento Street, San Francisco 11, California.

Permission by the City of Los Angeles to use sheathing re-sawn from (Coast) Standard & Btr, DF or Hemlock Dimension with every second piece grade-stamped expired June 30. This also applies to re-sawn (Inland) No. 2 Dimension DF & Larch.

Permission by City of Los Angeles to use re-sawn boards from Utility Grade Dimension with Grade Stamp on every other piece has been extended to December 31st. After that date, or effective with the 19@ I-os Angeles Building Code, every piece of lumber, whether re-manufactured or not, must be Grade-Stamped.

Utility Grade is allowable in the City of Los Angeles until December 31st for roof sheathing when used on solid roofs and spans do not exceed 24". The construction industry now has six months to prove to the Building Department that Utility Grade is adequate for this purpose, which it can do, if the privilege extended is not abused, reports the Southern California Retail Lumber Assn.

Referring again to "Allowable Spans," City of Los Angeles, in addition to Utility Grade sheathing as mentioned above, Utility Grade 2 x 6 T & G now can span 4'6" instead of 4'as heretofore.

The City of Los Angeles has authorized a new size in planking-"lf net minimum seasoned thickness." Much trouble has been encountered lately in odd-thicknesses of roof decking, especially with l9/16" green, which is presumed to be l rl net when seasoned.

The City of Los Angeles has taken the position that 1l net dry is acceptable, while ll or less GREEN IS NOT.

Western Pine Association already has stamps showing ll. West Coast Lumber Bureau will soon have this stamp for use of local inspectors.

MANUFACTUR,ERS AND WAR,EHOUSE WHOLESALERS

7,500,000

The Building Departments in areas outside of Los Angeles County report several instances where unauthorized grade stamps have appeared on lumber, resembling those used by grading agencies approved by the American Lumber Standards Committee, Washington, D.C.

The lumber was therefore turned down, causing the contractor and dealer trouble and considerable expense, since a grader from an authorized agency had to be brought to the job to grade the lumber, and in cases where lumblr was in place that did not meet grade requirements, certain pieces had to either be removed or in some cases, doubled up.

The SCRLA suggests you watch your lumber reCeipts, and if it is not properly grade-stamped by an authoriZed grading agency, that it be refused. Olherwise, some of the p{o.!t on.sales you had counted on may be eaten up by aodltlonal and unnecessary exDense.

The SCRLA furnished'grade-stamp facsimiles to all of the Building Departments throughoul the Southland, and it appears from the response thatlt gave them the information in one package that they wanted, but could not get from other sources. Many of the Building Departments have called upon the SCRLA for hundredi of ldditional copies. of these instrurnents, so as to stress their grade- stamping requirements in the field they serve.

The \A/oodwork Institute of California has published two

editions of the Manual of Millwork, which sets forth standards of quality and 'rvorkmanship as well as methods for the manufacture of casework, and it l-ras always been the desire of the Institute to establish ar.rd achieve a general acceptance of these standards. It is now the desire of the Institute to have these standards iclentified by a Certified Compliance grade stamp to assist architects, contractors, customers and others in confirmir-rg the receipt of the desired quality of casework. The new grading system includes three stamps, one reading "Standard Casework," another "Custom Casework," and the third, "Premium Casework."

The use of the \Ar. I. C. Certified Compliance grade stamp by a manufacturer certifies to the buyer and the public that all casework marked with these stamps is manufactttrecl in strict conformance to the standardi as defined in the \V. I. C. Nlanual of Willwork.1957 Edition.

SAN FRANCISCO 24, CALIFORNIA

The Membership committee reported that the resignation of the former W. E. Cooper Lumber Co., Los Angeles, was accepted with regret. No applications for new membership were pending at this time. It was pointed out that the Membership Committee will in the future accept the responsi- bility of inviting new members and also of informing such what action is taken on their applications.

The Nominating committee presented the following slate of candidates for the various PCWHDA officers and directors. All were unanimously elected:

New 1959-60 Officers

President, E. M. Taenzer; First Vice-President, LeRoy Stanton, Jr.; Second Vice-President, James Higgins; Secretary-Treasurer, James Sullivan. Directors : Albert A. Frost, Jr., Don L. Braley, Bruce M. Mclean, S. N. Simmons, Pat White.

The Regatta and Golf committees indicated they were functioning to capacity. The Trophy committee indicated it was accounting for all the trophies and they would be presented at the annual banquet.

The principal speaker. was Bruce Mclean of General Hardwood Co., Tacoma, who spoke on hardwood developments in the Far East, especially Japan. The enlightening

Redwood SllSS lumber Co,, htc,

talk developed many questions from the members and the Question-and-Answer period had to be limited by President Frost.

1960 Annual in Santa Barbara

It was announced that the 1960 convention will be held at the Santa Barbara (California) Biltmore hotel. Tune 29July 2. Milton Taenzer and Jim Sullivan will handle the details. Roy Stanton, Jr., announced tentative plans for lrolding the following, 1961, convention in Honolulu, Hawaii, and he r,vas given a unanimous vote of confidence by the members in attendance.

A very successful barbecue was held Wednesday evening, June 24, at the Trail Creek Lodge, with dancing and entertainment enjoyed by members and their ladies.

The annual Bobby Byrne Memorial golf trophy was won by Roy Stanton, Sr. of Los Angeles. Lawrence Culter won the golf prize-a Teak ice bucket.

The annual Regatta was won by the team under the command of Al Frost, who accepted the perpetual award for his crew. Presentation of this award was damoened somewhat by the necessity of awarding a "Purple Heart" to Lyall Bell for injuries received during the very hectic actrvlty.

Fred Smales of U.S. Plywood Corp. acted as toastmaster at the annual banquet on Thursday night and did an excellent job emceeing the entertainment and presentation of the various prizes and awards. The entertainment was provided by some of the male members of the association.

One of the highlights of the social portion of the convention was the crowning of a Queen. The charming and vivacious Letty Sullivan] wife oiS"tt Diego's Robert"Sullivan, was selected for this year's award and, as all agreed, she makes a very beautiful Queen to rule with poise and dignity during the coming year.

Additional Strn Valley activity included the daily luncheons, the annual group photo, cocktail gatherings and, at the banquet. the Introduction of New Officers. For the ladies especially, there were the Terrace luncheon and afternoon of cards ; swimming, ice skating, horseback riding, tennis, the ski lift or bowling for those aged 8 to 80; the bus trip to Trail Creek, etc.

Dwelling Units Construction for June

Western light construction in June continued its upward trend over 1958, according to building permit figures compiled by Western Building. June permits tabulated showed a valuation of $484,439,519 for the month-a 21/o gain over June 1958. The total was down from May's high of $519 million, however.

June's dwelling-unit total valuation showed $284 million, well above the $225 million figure compiled for June 1958. Survey totals of 355 identical reporting agencies for total dwelling units show permits up from 21,811 in June 1958 to 26,A46 in June 1959.

Statehood continues to spark Hawaii's construction, with the Aloha state's $18 million total showing a 50/o gain over June 1958. Statehood seemed to have the opposite effect on Alaska, where construction dropped from $2,338,382 in June 1958 to last month's $1,885,7m, but the figure was up over May 1959. Despite the increased valuation of dwelling unit permits, the number of dwelling permits was generally down from last year, indicating a higher per-unit building investment. Only the states of Oregon, Washington, California and Hawaii showed significant increases in numbers of dwelling permits. Southern California jurisdictions continue in their usual top spots of the 25 Western leaders, but Honolulu in continuing its building growth advanced in June to fourth place with a $17 million total.
