qINCE rhe announcement last month of $Vin- ton's new Packaged. Lumber seraice, many progressive lumber dealers have ordered cars. Their reaction has been mosr enrhusiastic. Many go so far as to call it "the beginning of a nera era in eficient lurnber band.ling!"
Most any dealer will agree that when you can unload a 35,OOO ft. car of neatly packaged lumber in slightly more rhan one hour with iust tuo nten and a fork-lift truck, you have just about reached the ultimate in efficiency. Many feel that unloading time will be cut well below an hour as experience is gained!
Imagine the sauings to big volume dealers when a two-man crew can unload and stack j carloads in a balf-d.ay!
Best of all, Winton Package Lumber arrived in perfect condition, with no coring and practically no sbifting. Package Lumber is easier to srore; less time is spent on spurs and sidings. You saae on d.emtnrage; and you'll spend far less time on damage claims, too!
\7hy not make your next load STinton Packaged Lumber? You beneft by \Tinton's knoubou in packing top quality kiln-dried lumber for most efficient unloading and stacking. See your lYintonmAn today.
Weakness in dimension of all species was the major cause of a drop in the industry average of Crow's -Lumber Price Inclex of Auiust 23. There was also continued softness in No' 3 contmon Poiderosa pine boards, 4,/4 D select, and all shop grades in- pine' Utility g.""n fit 2x4 to zx9 and studs (15% Utility) were steady but boards lost ground and plank was weak. Kiln-dried Utility fir dimension was str"ong and theie was little price change in Standard & Btr' But more t,ttplu. items were showing up. Dry white fir dimension and green fir and larch dimension also slipped. Sanded plywood mainiained its prive level for the index grade, '/a-inch AD, but sheathing continued to sag.
Despite the lower down payments announced by the FHA and.the impeniing freight-rate increase of 7%, corlsumer activity remained
order files were running low in the August 15 report and mills were forced to accept lower prices or shut down that week. Demand for boards in Std. & Btr. was at the lowest point in years, largely due to the building-trades strike in Southern Calif' Lumber shipments of 490 mills reporting to the National Lumber Manufactureri A.sn. in the week ended August l0 were 5'5l' below production, new orders were 2.1/o below' For the year-to-date, shipments were 1.0% and orders 1.8/o above production.

The California Redwood Association reported that production of 38,230,000 feet during July was seasonally lower than any month since December 1956, in part as a result of the annual shutdown for mill overhaul and vacations.

In designing the building, management paid special attention to lighting, color schemes, parking, inventory display and visibility-both from the street side of the big glassedin shor,vroom and from within. And. above all, tlte building was constructed with the idea of displaying inventoryclean, uncluttered lines, tastefully austere. No monument to management's ego this building.
The yard site of Woodland I,umber Cornpany occuPies the same property established by the pioneer West Vallev I-umber Company shortly after the development of tlte citv of \Voodland itself on the Cascade line of the railroa<l. It \vas acquired by Woodland Lumber Company from \\rest Valley Lumber rvith a deed for business and good rvill irr 1926.
\\rest Valley Lumber Company had been on the site since 1886, the year that firm purchased the itrterests of the long forsotten Puget l-umber Company-a mid-lgth century business as old as Aubrlrn Lumber Company itself.
In addition to serving \\roodland's requirements for lumber and building materials, Woodland Lumber management is also active and attentive to the community's requirements for guidance in negotiating long-term home loans as \vell as all types of financing for remodeling and improvements. Smaller credit purchases are handled on open account-or by time payments (l/o per month, maximum credit $250).
Besides Manager and Secretary Gordon Hou'ell, other lumbermen in Mroodland Lumber Companv include President Wendell Robie, head of the entire Auburn Lumber Comoanv chain: Director Donald Anderson, manager of I)avii Lumber Company, and Director Fred V. Holmes, president of Holmes Eureka Lumber Companv, San Francisco and Eureka.

Formerly salesmanager of South City Lumber & Supply in South San Francisco, Schaur has spent a lifetime in lumber and will be well remembered as the genial host and general chairman of San Francisco's terriffic 1956 Hoo-Hoo International convention.
\Vhile one-family houses continue to dominate the residential market, there are distinct signs of a shift in favor of multiple du'ellings this year. In the first half ol 1957, residential contracts totaled $6,483,000,000, a decline of Soy' belolv last year. The r.rumber of ne'i'r' drvelling units declinecl bv llTo but the entire decline came in single-familv hsu.... There rvere sharp increases in the number of ut.tits in tu-o{amilv hottses and apartment buildings.
Increasing costs and a trend tou'ard larger and more exlrensive units are evident in the residential c<intract figures. While the total number of units declined 11/o, the total floor area dropped 7/o and the value went do\v!1 onlv 5/c. l'he fact that units declined more than floor area indicates a larger average size of unit, and the fact that floor area declined more than valuation shol,s increasing cost per souare foot,

The following statement was given by Jamei W. and William G. Coopeito the California- Lumber-Merchant later last mgntlr following the deatl, of their father, Charles M. Cooper, of a heart attack in Oakland, August 5 :
"The untimely death of Mr. Charles M. Cooper will in no way affect the fihancial integrity.and r€sources of our two companies. His wishes concerning the policies by which the Companies should, and have been operated, have been made very clear to us over a long period of time. His ideals of honesty and business integrity have been deeply impressed into the operations of the companies. We fully intend to carry out these policies, and both companies will continue in business without any changes contemplated at this time. We wish to thank all of our many friends in the lumber industry who have written and called; we will answer each one personally as soon as time allows."
The W. E: Cooper Wholesale Lumber Company was founded by Charles Cooper's father, W. E. Cooper, 64 y-ears ago. This company, while originally dealing in imported and domestic hardwoods, is now concerned primarily in the distribution of Pacific Coast softwoods. The W. E. Cobper Lumber Company, a retail yard, was founded in1920, and since 1933 has bein in operation at its current location at 465O W. Pico Blvd.. Los Angeles.
Both of N{r. Cooper's sons are active in the two companies. Tames W. Cooper has devoted his interest excltrsively 1o the W, E. Cooper Wholesale Lumber Company, and his brother. William G. Cooper, has been active with the retail concern, ancl has stimulated interest within the lumber industrv with the addition of a "Self-Selrvice" Shed to the existing building.

Urbana-Champaign, Ill.-A research grant of $17,425 for continuation of the Small Homes Council's studies on building components has been given to the Univqrsity of Illinois by the T.umber Dealers Research Council. Emphasis rvill be placed on development of an improved roof-framing system using pre-assembled panels.
Research of the Small Homes Council has long been directed towards making it practical for builders to use preassembled part-s. in-construction of houses instead of cutiing and fitting individual pieces of lumber at the site. Thi Council has developed roof-truss designs, pre-assembled extericrr wall panels, floor panels, and plrtition panels, all of which can be used for houses of almost any design rvhose measurements are modular (all dimensions divisible bv four inches).
Its work on wall, floor and partition panels was done on previous grants made to the University by the Lumber Dealers Research Council. a non-profii oiganization of independent retail dealers. Through these panels, it is pointed out in the research contract, the Small Homes Council made "a definite advance in the speed and economy of residential construction. It is believid that an equil advance may be made through the study of pre-assembled roof and ceiling panels."
The neu' study will be concerned u'ith an analysis of problems connected with the development of jmproved framing systems with emphasis on the use of shop-con- trolled fabrication components. The study rvill include structural design of roof components and the efiects of limitations imposed on them by building codes, the relation of roof components to rvalls or other supporting members, assemblv techniques, the effect of materials on assembly time and total cost, transportation problems, and the handlinq of the components in the shop and at the site.
The research rvill extend over a period of one vear.

It is said that in one of the earlier plane-manufacturing plants where they specialized in making helicopters, there was a sign that read: "According to recognized aero-technical tests, the bumblebee cannot fly because of ttre shape and weight of its body in relation to the total wing-area.

Reminds of an old story about the big-mouthed hunter who boasted all the way to the hunting grounds of his expertness with a gun. When a quail broke cover the boaster took careful aim and fired, then fired his second barrel. The quail flew on and disappeared. The hunter glared after it and was heard to mutter: "Allright, you stubborn soandso ; fly away with your heart shot out !" ***
One of the sweetest memoriams ever uttered by one man for another who had passed on was said by Irvin Cobb about Will Rogers. He said that other people might end with the grave, but he couldn't imagine such a thing about
Will Rogers. Said Cobb: "It wouldn't be right to give Will Rogers to just one world and cheat some other world out of all that kindness and fun, all that sweetness and humility and ripe philosophy and precious wit."
one of the most ,.r";"r- url "toqrr"nt speeches ever made in this country against the crime of war was uttered in the United States Senate in 1847 by Senator Thomas Corwin of Ohio. He said that the entire history of ttre world proves that aggression and conquest-like crime-do not pay, and that they inevitably end in disaster.
*tr*
To prove that philosophy he eloquently recited world history, naming the great aggressors of the past (remember, this was written in 1847, when the aggressor business of history was just getting well started), and arranged his historical facts to show that since the dawn of time wars of aggression and conquest finally ended in failure.
He started with Alexand..,n. O*at, recalling that "Ammon's son, after all his victories, died drunk in Babylon; the vast empire he had conquered torn to pieces, and destroyed." He told of the rise and fall of Rome, her effort to conquer ttre world, and concluded: "Where is she now. the mistress of the world ? The spider weaves his web in her palaces, the owl sings his song in her watch tower."
He told of the ai.*.*Ulrrr].nJof pot"rrd in the 18th century by a coalition of three powerful European nations, Russia, Prussia and Austria, and what had since happened to them. He told of Napoleon, the self-named "armed soldier of Democracy"; how he trampled on Austria as Austria had trampled on Poland, and likewise on Prussia. And he told of the burning of Moscow, and said:
"When Moscow burned it seemed as if the earth lighted up that the nations might behold the scene, as though the God of the nations was writing in characters of flame on the front of His throne that doom shall fall upon the strong nation that tramples in scorn upon the weak."
"And. what," asks aoroin,*""1r"r," nr-, the executor of this work, when it is done? He, too, conceived the notion that his destiny pointed to universal dominion. But as soon as this idea took possession of his soul, Napoleon, too, became powerless. Right there while he witnessed the humiliation and doubtless meditated the subjugation of Russia, He who 'holds the wind in His fist' gathered the snows of the North and blew them upon his six-hundred-thousand men. They fled, they f.roze, they perished. And now ttre mighty Napoleon who has resolved on universal dominion. he, too, is summoned to answer for the violation of that
ancient law: Thou stralt not covet that which is thy neighbor's."
And Senator Corwin t.".U i-rr. ,"rno.r" speech with a touch of spirituality that alone made the oration notable. "'Why build great armies for invasion," he asked, ,,when the weakest hand uplifted in prayer to a God of justice may call down upon you a Power, in the presence of which the iron hearts of your warriors shall be turned to ashes?"
Isn't there, in Corwin's speech, much food for thought about conditions now, more than one-hundred years later? The above, of course, are but a few excerpts but they would seem to prove that certainly, in all history, aggression doesn't pay.

Gypsum's role in the home-building picture gave evidence of new versatility during the 1957 National Association of Home Builders convention in Chicago.'As part of the convention's annual How-To-Do-It circus program, five new uses of gypsum products were announced together with newly recommended methods of application. Conducting an action-packed 3S-minute demonstration, replete with banging of hammers, the staccato sound of an automatic stapler and the' pulsation of a plastering machine, was Lloyd H. Yeager, general manager, Gypsum Association.
Speaking for the nation's manufacturers of gypsum building produc.ts, Yaeger announced industry approval, for the first time, of the use of either lath and plaster or %" gypsum wallboard for eave and rake soffits also for carport and porch. ceilings.

Albert M. Cole, Housing and Home Finance administrator, has accepted an invitation to address the nation's retail lumber dealers during the 1957 Building Products Exposition in Philadelphia, announced Paul V. DeVille, general chairman of the Exposition. Mr. Cole will be the featured speaker at a special building industry luncheon program, November 7, closing day of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association's 4-day Exposition. Builders, architects, bankers, realtors and other allied business and professional people in the Philadelphia area will be invited by the lumber dealers as guests for the special program which will be held in the Ballroom of the Philadelphia Trade and Convention Center. An overflow crowd is expected to attend and to hear Mr. Cole's address.
An entirely new retail merchandising program is being developed for the 1957 Building Products Exposition. Plans for the feature, to be called "1958 Sales Builder Store," have now been firmed up under the direction of Chairman Phil Creden, merchandising manager of the Edward Hines Lumber Company, Chicago. Covering an area of 540O sq. ft., the store will be a life-size course in retail merchandising methods. It is to be an exact copy of an actual lumberyard store recently opened in a midwestern city and, to provide unquestioned authenticity, will contain the same brands as are displayed in that store and the same quantities of each, thus illustrating sound merchandising balance.
Its design is intended to express a new concept of store layout involving lumber, building materials, and hardware, and to provide the customer with a one-stop operation for purchases of all three. Emphasis will be placed on display of lumber in self-service sizes and on building materials,
with special attention being given to the "chain reaction" advantage of one purchase promoting another.
NRLDA Display Panels in the store will feature merchandising and end-use promotion kits prepared by exhibitor manufacturers and especially designed to fit the display panels. Exhibitors are being urged to tie in their own display material in their booths with the 1958 Sales Builder Store display panels.
Question and answer clinics on merchandising methods will be held in an adjacent meeting room on two mornings during the Exposition. At these sessions the owner of the original store and his manager will be on hand, together with Chairman Creden and other merchandising authorities to answer dealers' questions pertaining to operation of the store.
Decision was made by NRLDA to present this feature under its orvn auspices at the Philadelphia show after observing the "outstanding success scored by last year's 'model store'. Our dealers have been quick to recognize that three-dimensional presentation of sales ideas can be as important to their profit picture as the chance to get a look at new products, new services, or new handling methods demonstrated at the show. The 1958 Sales Builder Store is an outstanding example of dealers telling other dealers first-hand how they capitalize on present-day buying habits to make it quick, convenient, and efficient for their customers to shop," Creden said.
"The immediate favorable reaction to the merchandising center last year convinced us we had something the dealers have long needed. We are confident that in the 1958 Sales Builder Store we are giving them exactly the type of merchandising information they are looking for."

In celebrating the occasion of three score and ten years in wholesale distribution of doors and allied products in the Southern California trade area, Glenn Fogleman, resident manager of the California Door Company, Los Angeles, l.ras appointed Art Parkins, veteran wood products salesman, to the post of general sales manager for the pioneer concern.
On September 1, The California Door Company celebrates its 70th birthday in Los Angeles and starts the fourth decade on September 2. The ledger of the firm shorvs tl-re first business transaction as having taken place on September 1, 1887, in the company's first home at 2nd and San Pedro Streets, Los Angeles. The company now maintains a modern warehouse facility in the heart of the eastside ir-rdustrial district in Vernon, adjacent to all freervays for fast, efficient deliverv to all cities and communities in the southland.
This progressive firm has made great progress under the able management of pioneer Glenn Fogleman, r'vho has been manager of the Southern California territory for the oast 30 years. He has been associated with the concern bver 40 vears and started his career in the sash and door business-in 1904 with the Cresmer Manufacturing Co.
During the past 70 years many new lines of building materials have been added to the complete stocks maintained in the company warehouse. In addition to sash and doors, the company distributes insulation board, Masonite products, a fulf line of plywoods and many other items.for ihe retail dealer trade. The company's warehouse at 494O District Boulevard measures l20x66o and the inventory is complete for fast delivery. Six trucks can be loaded at one time and the dock area spur-track handles four boxcars for unloading.
Art Parkins, who is assuming many of the duties handled by N{r. Fogleman during the past 30 years, has a r,vellrounded education in the wholesale distribution field in

ft was a better-ttran-av€rage thinker and writer of other days who handed out the following advice to all who needed it: "Make yourself useful to someone." His name was Emerson.
That advice can be applied to every man in business, regardless of what business he is in; in fact, he need not even be in business to be able to use that advice.
To the man who is engaged in selling-and tell us, pray, what man is not-this advice could well be put at the top of h.is selling philosophy: "Make yourself useful to more people." And the more people he becomes useful to, the more and better prospects he will have for selling ttre goods or services he handles.
Following that Emerson advice gives a person a maximum of chances for using his noodle in his business effort.
The 8000-acre, $10 million Diamond Bar ranch near Pomona is to be converted into a planned community housing 60,000 population, Engineer Ray Kusche told the County Regional Planning Commission, August 7. He said the gigantic subdivision project is still in the future but its promoters, the Capital Co. and the Christiana Oil Corp., wished to apprise county planners of the over-all program. Extensive areas on the huge ranch will be devoted to housing, while other sections will contain parks, schools, golf courses and shopping areas.
Make yourself useful, of course, but how? And that is whcre the real selling comes in. The more and better ideas a man develops for making himself useful, the better he will get along.
Making yourself useful to a lot of people is a mighty keen and interesting job. It doesn't just happen. Study how you can make yourself useful to your prospects. Don't let them know that you are doing a special job on tftem. Arouse their interest in you. And THAT is the foundation of business-getting.
Emerson said: "Make yourself useful to someone." The modern salesman changes that to read: "Make yourself useful-not just to someone, but to a lot of someones." And watch the results.

Andy Donald (above), veteran of Lounsberry & Harris, one of Southern California's oldest retail lumber firms, has been named permanent successor to Paul Hill, who managed the Hollywood yard on Santa Monica Boulevard more than 42 years prior to his death, May 28. Andy has been identified in the lumber industry all of his life. He has spent over three decades with the pioneer Lounsberry & Harris concern and, prior to assuming the management of the Hollywood branch, he was sales manager for the Hollywood and Bay area section of the county. He will handle both assignments in his present position as general manager.
During the long illness of Mr. Hill, the yard on Santa Monica boulevard was under the direct manag'ement and supervision of Art Hertz, another veteran of the retail firm, who has now been assigned to an administrative position at the home office on San Fernando Road in Los Angeles.
The new shed construction at the Hollywood yard that lr'as started by Mr. Hill and continued by Art Hertz was brought to conclusion last month by Andy Donald. A11 dry stock is now stored under cover in a new steel warehouse facing on Santa Monica Boulevard.

For the first time in the history of the building industry, a glue-laminated rvood beam .lvholesale u-arehouse has been established primarily to serve residential and small commercial construction, thanks to the pioneering spirit and foresight of trvo Seattle building materiais men. The firm, Laminated Woods, Inc., 736 Northlake \\ray, Seattle, Wash., is an exclusive outlet for I{ilco laminated beams, product of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company.
It rvas started by Robert E,. Andretvs and Robert W. Borneman, both r,vith long experience in the building materials business as salesmen, contractors and ou.ners of retail lumber yarcls. Before their company was launched they
made a thorough survey of the potential market for stock laminated beams. Architects unanimously agreed that the use of laminated beams would be greatly increased rvith establishment of a ready supply of tl-re materials stocked for immediate use. Lumber dealers and contractors concurred. This ner,v rvarehousing plan overcomes the prer.ious slou'-delivery problem by permitting mills to produce in volume stock sizes that car-r be inventoried for immediate del ivery.
Information gathered from surveys of scores of architects and by studying years of sales records of old-style solid beams indicated that six sizes n ould cor.er 80 to 90/o ol current home and small construction needs. With this information they rvorked out rvith officials of the \\reyerhaeuser Timber Company a plan to start their wholesale business. They u'ould stock the Weyerhaeuser line of Rilco glue-laminated beams as .w.e11 as distribute the company's hr finish and mouldings, pine, hemlock, spruce, particle board and treated timbers.
For the first time in construction history, it would be possible for lumber dealers to pick up and deliver laminated beams the same day, without the usual 6 to 9 weeks' delay that prevailed in ordering custom beams from the mill.
All phases of the business benefit u-ith this net' tylte of selling. .\t the Weverh;reuser mill it is norv possible to manufacture stocks of standard size beams on a production schedule. NIill inr-entories can be built rrp at a time of year u'hen the traffic in other production is lighter. Builders knou'the exact size beam they neecl is norv carried in stock and is as available as other dimensional lurnber. This means no delal's on the job and that it is alu'ays possible to have the roof on a ltuilding in the usuai thirty days.
Being all kiln-clried material, the beams .rvill not crack. check or rvarp out of position. Consurners get a better prodruct in both beauty and service.
The progress of Laminated \\.oods, fnc., is being rvatched by the building inclustry all over the nation. Anclren's' and Borneman's success t'ill open an entirely nerv marketing structure to a previously all-custom operation. In a recent ne\\rs statement released by the \\reyerhaeuser Timber Companv, the future of Laminated Woods, Inc., rvas implied in these feu' u.ords, "this . . coulcl verv easily be a golden opportunity-a salesman's dream."

ENGELnAtfl SPRUCE is an ideal lumber for wall sheathing, roof decking and subflooring. It combines light weight, adequate strength and the ability to be nailed easily without splitting. Small knots give even the lower grades a good appearance. Engelmann Spruce is used for studding, joists and other general construction in accordance with its strength properties.
For interior uses the small, tight knots and light *l"t "f E"g"l*ann Spruce provide a wood for interesting paneling and interior finish. It is carefully ilried,, assuring more accurate sizing and improved woodworking qualities, insuring lower maintenance costs.
"WHOLESALE ONLY" rmportant words to a retail lumberman. Because a retail lumberman much prefers to have his supplier provide a convenient extension of his re- larl inventory than to have lhe supplier compete with him.
INLAND TUMBER'S slogan "The Dealer's Supplier-Never His Competitor" accurately describes INLAND'S sales policy of WHOIESALE ONLY.
Perhaps that's one of the reasons more and more re- tail lumbermen specify INLAND TUMBER as their Numbet i supplier.

Les Breiner, Zl-year veteran of the concern, has been office manager for many years and several years ago was named to the important post of warehouse superintendent. It is his duty to see that all material and records of the Southern California area are handled properly. o
"ft is our desire to maintain an alert and aggressive sales staff," said Art Parkins. "Our inventory is complete and we intend to carry the items in demand bv the retail lumber dealers throughout this area," he continued.
"For the past 70 years, The California Door Company has grown with Southern California because we have iried to keep abreast of the changing conditions," said Mr. Fogleman. "Our efficient staff will carry on for manv vears to come and under the sales guidance of. Art Parkins-we will give efficient service to our dealers in the future as we have in the past."
So-one of the great Southern California firms that has reached markets throughout the Pacific Coast to the Atlan- tic Seaboard, New Zealand, Australia and Africa in the efficient distribution of its products now enters the 8th decade of service to retail lumber dealers in the west.
Success has long been assured because the secret is service, hard work, proper inventory and efficient methods of handling and distribution. This, according to the veteran Eogleman, has been one of the factors in the growth of California Door, with the fast pace set in the development of this great southland from a playground and resort area to one of the major industrial centers of the world.

The Truly Poor tlon
Early one morning a rural tourist with a small glass jar in his hand walked down to the Pacific Ocean near a summer resort and filled the jar with water.
A beachcomber saw him and saw opportunity at the same time, so he approached the tourist.
*What do you think you're doing?" asked the beachcomber.
"Sending a jar of this Pacific Ocean water back to my home in Kansas," said the tourist.
"That isn't free, you ltnow-we sell that,', said the beachcomber, holding out his hand. "That will be 25 cents.', The tourist paid the money and left.
The next morning the same tourist came down for another glass jar of the water, and again there was the beachlesq than comber asking f.or 25 ccnts. The tourist looked at the ocean, which was then at low tide and much lower than it had been the day before.
"Heavens !" he said. "You sure have been doing a whale of a busincss since yesterday, haven't you?"
ii: A man is poor when he gets out of tune with hiq environ;.Fcrts, when his friends have lost confidence in him, when
,.''he'has but dark pictures on the walls of his inner life, when 1 his character is diseased" and dishonest tricks of evasion l .{ominate his heart and soul. A man is not necessarily poor lr because he has little of this world's posspssions. If he maini: tains his integrity, keeps his character unblemished and :r-.sQuare to the world, he is not poor even though hunger is r .Etaring&im in the face and he has no place to lay his head. -Frank O'Donnell.

With ready zeal each honest rustic ran; E en children followed wit&r endearing wile, And plucked his gown, to share the good man's smile. His ready smile a parent'q joy expressed,

We may be povcrty poor, or rich in this world,s goods. We may walk on crutches, or run in the glory of perfect health.
We may live in the fower garden of beautiful dreams, or in the thicket of stcrn reality.
We may have the daily companionship of the most b6autiful rose in the garden of love, or tread the bywayq of life alone.
We may ride thc softened cushions of a Rolls-Royce, or travel the dusty roads on foot.
But it makes little difference if we keep our hearts in tune with the infinite plan.
To be a perfect hostess, one must somctimes be very, very quick-witted. No better example of quick-thinking has been produced than that of the lady in Chungking who hed invited several Americans to Thanksgiving dinner, promising them something almost incredible under thi circumstances-a turkey.
As the No. 1 boy entered the dining roor\ he slipped and the priceless turkey fell from the platter he was carrying, and skidded across. the foor.
"Never mind, bon" said the hostess, smiling and quiet. "Take it back to the kitchen and bring in the othpr one."

Walker Tilley of Ukiah, Calif., is a man handy with words, woods and walking.
Take, for example, the time he picked up a foreign girl journalist-writer along the Redwood highway. She was motor-biking through Northern California during a tour of the United States and Canada, preparatory to writing a book.
She had turned her head not a fraction of an inch in recognition as he passed, but she later confessed to him that she had begun to dub him the "phantom of the highway" after noticing how often his truck passed her motorbike.
Walker Tilley finally worked up nerve and approach tactics.
"She trad Quebec plates. I naturally thought she was French. So at the last moment I quickly exchanged my California sombrero for a beret and flaggeil her do#n: -
"'Pardon this unusual approach, ma'am, but I judge you are an unusual woman who has, like me, traveled about the world. One meets so few interestinE peoDle in life's travels. I am not trying to be fresh. To pr6ve ii I ask you simply to follow me to my home, where my wife will be happy to entertain you at lunch."
Nonpluised, the Englishwoman, as she turned out to be, thought awhile and finally said, "I'11 do it."
The woman subsequently spent days discovering the Red-
wood region and learning about sustained-yield forestry and logging techniques on industrial Tree Farms.
"IJnusual" is the name for Walker Tilley, the Rotarian president of the Ukiah club.
Marcus Aurelius is credited with saying, "That which comes after conforms to that which has gone before." Tree farmers, men who view their lands with long-range crops of timber in mind, are the most futureJooking of men, but perhaps ancestry, too, plays a part in making a free farmer.
*Certainly Walker Tilley sprouted from a forestry-minded family tree.
His forebears settled Arcata in the redwood region in 1850. Lumbering played a big part in their livelihood. His father was born in Ar.cata, his mother in Eureka. He also married into a lumber family. Mrs. Dorothy Flinn Tilley's grandfather was secretary-manager of the Chicago Lumbermen's Club for many years. IIer maternal grandfather operated lumber carriers-on the Great Lakes. TIer father wis manager of Albion Lumber Co. in the 1920s and was an early promoter of sustained yield of forest lands along with C. Russell Johnson of Union Lumber Co., who built the town of Fort Bragg.
Walker Tilley's penchant for the foreSt instead of the mill -a bent for the lonelv life-mav have come from a subconscious association with his ndme, and at an early age: "'Walker" Tillev.
He does not iemember any psycholosical connection with his name, but he early ran ouf o? walki"ng companions.
"I used to average 45 miles a day for four to five days at a -t!m_e, in every direction from Arcata except west," he said. "I like to take friends along, but they would last only one trip."
Having run out of walking friends, he'd go his lonely way. He learned to travel lightly . salt, toothbrush, side pistbl for squirrels and rabbits, and fish tackle. Meals were bften taken at the home of Indian friends of his family.
Walker Tilley was very close to the founding of the Aperican Tree Farm System-a forest industry -program dtially designed to educate the American publii regaidine the practical profit in growing timber ds a crop anil to as-sure a perpetual supply of raw material. -
First of all, Tilley is a veteran industrial forester. After attending the School of Forestry at Oregon State College in 1913, he worked for the Albion Lumber,Co. in Northein

One niorning, shortly after achieving the lifelong ambition of owning an island of his own, \Malker moved about the low-lying l-andscape, gurveying his domain. It was duckhunting leason. He ran into a duck blind occupied by two hunters.
The hunters did not return his greeting. Surlily they kept scanning the sky. They even refused to answer when he expansively ofiereh them hot coffee from a thermos on his hip. ^ At lasi one of the hunters said what was so evidently on their minds:
"Mister, this happens to be our duck blind."
"Yes." said the forester. "But it happens to br be my island."

He is now a licensed investment broker with Paine, Webber, Jackson and Curtis, Los Angeles, and says he is looking forward to serving his old friends again. Frank Rickinger is remembered as the originator of the idea of shipping packaged lumber on flat cars, and as the chairman of the Labor Negotiations committee in 1955. He left a fine record in the lumber industry and made many friends while employed by Hammond Lumber Company, the last five years as production manager of the Southern California division, and should be as successful in the investment business as he was in the lumber industry.

A foreword to the booklet savs the industrv "has been slow to master the sales and promotional techhiques commonplace in other consumer industries. As compired with the hard driving automotive industry . . . housing gets a chsproportlonately small share of the American consumer,s dollar."
"Trading-in should also be important to the housing mark€t," the author says. "For the first time in oui history, over half the people in the U. S. own their own homes-nearly ffi%.-Twenty-five million Americans today have an equity of one hundred billion dollars in existing homes. Half of these horrrc owners are living in homes over thirty years old-many virtually obsoleti by new home standards.
"The well-known secret of trade-in auto and appliance success is the changes and improvements which make old models obsolete before their usefulness is completely exhausted.
"Yesterday's house i-s as obsolete as yesterday's refrigera-. tor. It has only one bathroom. Some se,ien million old hSmes have none at all. Yesterday's house has less than two bedroom.s..It is not planned for modern living or adequately wired for mo4ern appliances, is expensivJ to heat 'in tht winter and difficult to cool in the summer,,' the author as_ serts.
The booklet-quotes John M. Dickerman, executive director of the National Association of Home Builders. as sav- ing: "I am inclined to believe that we have just scratch6d the su_rface. of -the potential of trade-in operitions for the home-building industry. In the years ahead, I believe NAHB sur-veys-will show more -builders engaged in this activity and trade-ins accounting for an evqr-iircieasins share of thi sales volume. I base thCse beliefs primarily ori the ct ""ses which have taken place in the last 18 montis in the housi?re market, and shape of things to come in that market.,,

A new concept in the field of volume house-sellingusing a local all-media, advertising-merchandising campaign keyed exclusively to brand-name products and materials nationally advertised in Life Magazine, produced a sell-out by the end of the first week of the initial 120-unit section of a Southern California new home development, according to Willard \,&-oodrow, president of Aldon Construction Company of Los Angeles.
In New York, reporting to manufacturers participating in the unique selling program, Woodrow indicated great enthusiasm for the new sales promotion plan. He intends to use it to build and sell a total ol 2,M new homes this year.
The first Aldon sales are at a San Fernando Valley project, called Northridge Plaza. It consists of. 476 homes. Work began on the first unit of 120 houses May 26. Four weeks later, the first newspaper ad ran, followed by a four-day saturation radio and TV campaign. At the beginning of the sixth week the model homes were opened to the publicand at the end of that week the entire 120-house section was sold. All above advertising and 5O billboards scattered through the area, point-of-sale promotion, and consumer literature were tied-in with the slogan "Built With Famous Products Advertised in Life."
The products selected by Aldon to be featured in the promotion include U.S. Plywood-weldwood paneling, Celotex-Quiet-Zone ceiling tile-insulation, and JohnsManville-Seal-O-Matic shingles.
Willard Woodrow, 40, started the Aldon Corporation Company in 1945. The firm is now one of the nation's top home-building concerns. Sales in 1956 totaled $38,000,000. In the past 12 years, the company has built and sold over 26,W0 houses.

Lorna Anderson, Miss California, 1957, inspects a new fire prevention ieiea, the novel Book Match Thro-Away A:h Tray, shown to her here by Wayne G. Hubbard, Secretary-Manager of Keep California Green. Although a non-smoker herself, Miss Anderson approves of the new invention, which she says ,,lf habitually used by many smokers would certainly prevent a lot of our careless fires. I don't smoke, but if I did, l,d certainly
Aggressive campaigns and the cooperation of forwardlooking citizens have reduced the number of fires caused by smokers, but Wayne Hubbard says that millions are still lost each year because of man's carelessness with the use of fire. 390,000 acres of California forests were destroved by fire in 1955. If one match which otherwise would hive been dropped, is placed in a Th,ro-Way Ash Tray insteadwho knows how manv acres ma.rr be saved?
Mr. Hubbard poinls out. thai fires also are sometimes started by burning cigarettes dumped from automobile ash trays in parking areas. "Since 806 fires were attributed to smokers last year," Mr. Hubbard declared, "We heartily welcome any effort, such as this Thro-Way Ash Tray, that will restrict the heedless disposal of matches will undoubtedly help."
The Thro-Way Ash Tray-TAT for short-is an insulated aluminum foil insert which provides a handy and safe receptacle for burnt matches and ashes, and will-snuft cigarettes neatly and conclusively. The 13 billion match books given away in the United States annually cost U.S. advertisers over $1@,00o,000-and many of them would welcome the chance to include a throw-awav ash trav: considering it well worth the premium (about-1/5c peipack) for using TAT. The Thro-Way Ash Tray could form a new habit for the nation as people used it and learned to ap- preciate the convenience of having an ash tray always at hand. Few womell appreciate having their fine carpets moth-proofed with cigar ashes-or their potted plants 1ertilized with cigarette stubs, and they rarely wear trousers with cuffs rvhere ashes,can be ditched, and stepping on cigarettes is distinctly unladylike.
Rather than award the exclusive distributorship to one out of the 100 manufacturers of book matches, the Claude McFaul Corporation enlisted the aid of Financial Investors Incorporated of Sacramento, and will develop machinery to manufacture the ash trays for sale, or leise equipment, rather than competing rvith established book-matih companies.
Don Holmes, president of Financial Investors fncorporated, feels confident that the $100,000 issue will be fully subscribed at $10 per share) very soon. TAT can then be marketed at once-and the nation will have a chance to form a new habit a pocketful of fire insurance with breach-of-etiquette clause for free !

Most materials-handling methods used in the retail lumber industry are the result of "trial and error" development by a comparatively few dealers who have not been satisfied with the commonplace handling methods that only effected half of the possible modern-handling savings. Recently the whole lumber industry was asked to help perfect and prove the value of a handling method which might be classed as revolutionarv and which certainlv will have a far-reaching effect on tfre industry.
Through the combined efforts of Sterling Lumber Company, Chicago, Illinois; Boise-Payette Lumber Company, Emmitt, Idaho; Acme Steel Company, and a few others who believed that a better way to ship and unload lumber had to be developed, a method was developed of packaging and loading lumber in box cars in a way that would permit it to be unloaded by mechanical means. This was first shown publicly to the industry at NRLDA's annual Exposition in Chicago last December, and a great amount of interest was generated among retail lumber dealers as well as mill representatives, since it made possible great savings in time and labor.
Immediately after the Chicago Exposition, a few mills and retailers began trying out the methods that had proved successful and experimenting with different ideas aimed at improving the system. The results of most of this "isolated" experimenting was very good but there were mistakes and difficulties encountered which discouraged some mills and retail dealers.
The Materials Handling Committees of both NRLDA and the National Lumber Manufacturers Association held a joint meeting in Washington and recognized the tremendous savings inherent in shipping unitized lumber in boxcars for all segments of the industry. They agreed that a major effort should be made to coordinate all activities in this regard and to eqcourage further development.
Plans were made for a test shipping program in which all lumber mills and retail dealers would have an opportu- nity to cooperate in further development of this method.
fn response to a request from NRLDA and NLMA through their federated associations, M retail lumber dealers and 66 mills agreed to cooperate. Since this development would be of great value to the wholesalers, the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association polled their members and 30 have agreed to ship or receive packaged lumber in cooperation with the program. Additional retail lumber dealers, mills and wholesalers who desire to participate in the program will be added as it progresses.
A valuable contribution to the success of the program will be made by the strapping industry and some of the materials-handling equipment manufacturers. They have agreed to help individual mills and dealers with their initial cars and help them solve any problems that may arise in packaging, loading, or unloading the cars shipped under the program.
Retail dealers have been supplied a list of the cooperating mills and wholesalers. They will order unitized cars from this group through their regular sources. A report will be made by the shippers, and another by the receivers, on the
3-5326
results of loading and unloading of each car, on forms provided by NRLDA and NLMA. These reports rvill be carefully studied by the joint NRLDA-NLMA Materials Handling Committee and an attempt rvill be made to standardize on lumber unit sizes and methods of loading and rrnloading boxcars.
An industry has joined hands in a cooperative effort. With such a group rvorking tolvard a common goal, this effort can onlr. result in the greatest possible success.

The new home for Comac Los Angeles has been established in the showroom building located at 3700 Wilshire Boulevard, according to Victor M. ai Suvero, president of Comac Corporation of America. This latest development in a program to offer complete merchandising facilities for products and services used in the building industry will ultimately see a national chain of permanent exhibit-and information centers.
-The.new Los Angeles quarters house Southern California's "Complete Showcase of Building Products;', future enlargements can provide the Center with a total of more than- 20,00O square feet of floor area. Comac brings the builder, the architect, and the public together to selecimaterials, products and services eihibited it Comac facilities at their leisure.
Full-scale exhibits, samples, semi-technical information and_ prices are all supplied by the manufacturers who subscribe to Comac services, saving time normally wasted in specifying and selecting material for any type of building project.
A pilot Center-in San Francisco, in operation for the past two and ole-half years, has enabled Comac to develop its program.,Comac's function is that of a clearing house *:here local-level information may be secured regarding any product, material or service used in the building iniustiyl and it also brings impulse buying to an industry which has never had an opportunity to take advantage of-this tool. One of tle^prime advantages o-f the Comac program, according to di Suvero, is that the hundreds of different products "and services represented within the industry can nbw be seenand accurate semi-technical information given-at one time in one place.
_ Harvey L. Laughlin, Jr. is director of Comac Los Angeles. It is expected to be one of the most important of the-links in the national chain of product showcaJes. Formal opening of the Center in September will culminate a year's plinnin! and development by Comac Corporation of America
. Stres_sing the theme, "Winter Time Is Indoor Fix-Up Time,,, the fifth annual Greater Bay Area Do-It-yourself Show is preparing for a record number of exhibitors at the Oakland Exposition Building, October 17-27. Prcducer Ted Bentley reports an unprecedented volume of advance inouiries from pgtential first-time exhibitors as well as heavy repeat orders. The emphasis has been mainly on items reiating to homeimprovement, with such indoor projects as wall-paieling, cabinet-making and fine woods for furniture construition reieiving special attention.
Strable Lumber and other companies which produce heavy woods for wall construction, as well as plywoods and mahog1ny, are expected to repeat their highly successful showin[s from last -year's show, Bentley said. Some repeats are alio expected from exhibitors at the Los Angeles Do-It-yourself show, which closed in Tuly.

__The_third-regular meeting of the Central California Dry Kiln Club of the year was held at the Forest Hill operation of the Stockton Box Company, July 12. Forty-two members and friends registered for the all-day meeting.
During the morning progra.m, planned by Ray Brown, kiln superintendent at Forest Hill, everyone had an op- portunity to see the mill, the kilns and yard. Of particular interest was Ray's battery of eight Moore side-loading kilns which hold a total of 260 M cu. ft., using five lx2-inch stickers per course. They are changing over to the use of only three nominal Zx4-inch stickers per course, supposedly to reduce warping. This is a doubtful result of the chapgC, which will also reduce the holding capacity of the kilns considerably. The thicker stickers may also have a pronounced effect on checking of Douglas fir and white fir lumber on the air-drying yard, particular during dry summer weather.
After a fine steak dinner at the Forest House hotel, as guests of the Stockton Box Company, Past-President Gene Krueger presidqd at the technical and business meetings in the absence of Elmer Johnson, the new President, recently hospitalized for surgery
Lee Moffett, supervisor of grades and manufacturing for American Forest Products Corporation, Stockton, talked on the importance and effect of kiln drying on the finished
product. He reported the results of a study to learn the effect of placing three or four 1x12-inch pine boards per course, when using 4&inch stickers on the occurrence- of planes splitting. When four boards were piled per course, the edges of the outside boards projected beyond the stickers. This was believed to result in more warping (cupping) than when the lumber was piled with only three pieCes per course. The results of the itudy showed no difierence'in the occurrence of planes splitting. The effect of low moisture content was pronounced, however, with more splitting occurring in boards that had been dried to a low moisture content. The number of boards per course affected the final moisture content of the lumber.
Mr. Moffett also presented figures from Doug Skrimager's operation at North Fork which showed that a wide variation of final moisture content may result, even when the lumber is dried by the same schedule.
These differences of final moisture content show that time schedules cannot be used without an occasional check with kiln samples, and close control of the lumber going into the kiln. One charge that has had considerable air--dry-- ing while the lumber ii on kiln trucks waiting to go inio the kiln will dry differently from a charge that is made up of lumber right from the green-chain.
Differences in drying rate because of sticker thickness were also studied. When using 1-3/8-inch or ll/16-inch thick stickers, the rate of drying was the same in the
single-track kilns at North Fork. The holding capacity \:as alm--ost l5/o greater with the thinner stickers.

B. FTOYD SCOTTEric Hexberg, prominent lumber executive of the southland, has opened sales offices at 232 North Lake Avenue, Pasadena. The new firm will be known as Hexberg Lumber Sales, specializing in the distribution of pine, white fir, Douglas fir and incense cedar.
Eric Hexberg started his lumber career in tr936 when, fresh out of school, he joined the Anglo-California Lumber Company in Los Angeles. ,IIe majored in business administration and immediately started his steady climb to an executive post with the company. In 1947, Tarter, Webster & Johnson were searching for an aggressive young man to open sales o,ffices in the Southern California territory. Due to his administrative experience and sales promotion background, Hexberg was picked for the job. He remained as manager of TW&J activity in Los Angeles and Van Nuys until he decided to organize his own firm this summer.
"We will concentrate our efforts on direct rail and truck and trailer shipments from reliable mills," Hexberg said, "and we will receive the retail dealers and industrial users onlv."
Hardwood lumbermen attending the 6oth annual convention of the National Hardwood Lumber Association in Chicago, O,ctober 1-2-3, will hear lJnited States Senator Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois, author of the book, "Communism in Action," a documented study of communism prepared by the Library of Congress under his direction. He is widely traveled and has earned a well-deserved reputation as a rail-splitting spellbinder and he is certain to have a significant message well worth listening to.
H. Keith Williams, vice-president of the Kroehler Manufacturing Co. and general manager of the Mengel Division, will speak as a representative of the furniture industry, one of the largest and most important hardwood consuming industries. Both Mr. Williams and Senator Dirksen will speak the second morning of the convention.
NHLA President Howard A. Hanlon of Odessa. N. Y. will open the proceedings on October 1 with the president's annual message. John W. Fisher will appear as the Canadian representative. The last order of business will be the report of the Rules,committee. On the final day of the convention, reports of the various committees will be made and the election of officers held for the ensuing year. Formal sessions will be held only in the mornings, allowing the members to attend other meetings and take care of personal business during the afternoon.
Tuesday noon, the graduates of the Association-sponsored Inspection Training School will hold their annual
luncheon, and in the afternoon the Junior Conference will hold its annual cocktail Dartv and social hour. Also on Tuesday, a special lunch-eon-has been arranged for the ladies attending the convention, and this afiair will be held in the Bal Tabarin room of the Hotel Sherman.
Wednesday afternoon, the Lumbermen's Credit Association (the Red Book) rvill open its Hospitality Room to the members and guests of the NHLA. That evening at 7:00, the doors rvill open for the big annual banquet to be followed by a variety shor,v made up of the best vaudeville acts obtainable. Dancing rvill follorv the shorv.
Advance registration cards have been sent to all members, and the initial return indicates one of the biggest meetings the Association has ever held during its 6O years of activity.
Special arrangements have been made to facilitate the first day's registration, and there rvill be no delay especially to those rvho pre-register. All those who pre-register rvill be listed in a bulletin available on the {irst dav of the convention u.ith the name of their hotel for the convenience of other members desiring to contact them. Hotel reservations should be made directly rvith the Hotel Sherman.
Both of Chicago's professional football teams rvill be in action just before arnd follorving the convention, and tlrere is a strong likelihood that the \\rorld Series may be played in nearby Milu'aukee. Special sightseeing tours, boat rides, visits to the famed stores on State Street and to the museums, especially the Hardrvood Exhibit, all combine to make a trip to the NHLA Convention highly interesting and res.arding.

The preliminary estimate of 96,000 nerv nonfarm dwelling units started in July brings the estimate of starts for the first seven months of this year to 604,500 units,81,2O0 units less than the first seven months of 1955. reports the National Retail Lumber f)ealers Association. -
Construction started on 96,000 nonfarm houses and apartments in July was about the same as the 97p00 begun in June and 5/o belot' the Jrrly 1956 total, the U.S. f)epartrnent of Labor's lJureau of Labor Statistics announced. The 90,2A0 units of private housing begun in July, althorgh 9/o less than for July 1956 and the lorvest July figure since 1951, nevertheless represented an annual rate (seasonally adjusted) of 980,Gapproximately the rates of the previous trvo months, rvhich rvere the highest this year.
Although total housing volume in July showed little change from June, prelirninary information based on building-permit reports indicates an advance in the South and the largest decline in the \\,test, rvhere major rvork stoppages in construction rvere in progress throughout the month.
The 604,500 units started during the first seven months of 1957 rvere I2/o below the total for the same 1956 months and the lorvest for the period since 1949. The entire drop 'was in Government-assisted (FHA and VA) private housing, with the volume of conventionally financed units in 1957 mnning a little ahead of 1956 by tl-re end of the first seven montns.
While the dou'ntrend in single-family housing continues, the orrtlook for a greater volume of apartment construction has been improving. Preliminary indications for the first six months are that almost l5/o of the nonfarrn drvelling units were in multifamily, rental-type buildings tl-ris year, comparcd rvith about ll/o in the previous three years.

"Forestry begins with a forest and not with bare land or individual trees."
Kermit Cuff, chief forester for the Southern Pacific, said this in announcing that the railroad is now planting trees in the Barkhouse creek area of Siskiyou county in Northern California to replace timber destroyed on 2,X)O acres of SP Land Company property by the disastrous Haystack Fire in 1955.
The railroad, long in the forefront as a pioneer in private conservation through sound management of timber properties to preserve and build op forest lands, is planting approximately 4O,000 three-year-old Douglas Fir and Jeffrey Pine seedlings as the first step in its program. The job is contracted to Owen H. Thomas, Medford, Oregon, who also handles plantings for the U.S.'Forest Service.
Only 55 acres are being planted this year since only a limited supply of trees were available, according to Cuff. Of the 15,000 acres affected by the burn, only 2,900 were denuded of timber and of sufficientlv high quality to justify replanting.
Cuff pointed out that the railroad has emphasized a program of natural restocking of forest lands. However, since most of the commercially productive land in the burned over area is beyond reforestation in this manner, the planting was undertaken. "We are going to analyze the results of this planting," he said, "and if proved satisfactory, we anticipate a greatly expanded program next year.
We still like The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT although we have quit business sold out last November, both the stock and the real estate. I built a small glass house at home and am having fun growing orchids and canaries.
-E. E. Scarborough San Pedro. California"The Haystack Fire has dramatically shown us that large losses in timber can be incurred as a result of fire despite the excellent protection provided our lands. Our Railroad feels that good forestry is a matter of personal responsibility for any good citizen. Therefore, we regard reforestation, as a responsibility on the part of the landowner or logger," he said.
The seedlings planted this year and in the near future will not be ready for harvesting for about 60 years under SP's longrange planned-management program. But the fact that these trees are growing will make it possible for the railroad to sell a greater amount of timber annually elsewhere on its commercially productive timber lands.
Cufi estimates that planting the entire 2,900 acres of good timber-growing land denuded by the burn will increase allowable cut on all SP timberlands in Northern California by about 500,000 board feet per year under Southern Pacific's philosophy of treating timber as a sustained-yield crop rather than a limited quantity of raw material standing ready for use. The railroad has dedicated 425,An acres of its best commercial forestlands to per-
petual management, is a member of the American TreeFarm System and employs 19 professionally trained foresters.
Fire is an ever-present danger. In California, the State Division of Forestry has the primary responsibility for stopping fires in commercial forestlands. Each property holder supports this service much as a city supports its fire department. This works r,vell with SP since holdings are scattered.
But prevention of fire is every SP forester's business and standard fire precautions are required of each timber buyer. Operating standards of each operator are regularly checked by SP whose goal is reduction of fire hazards and logging is geared to removal of "high risk" trees-those that will probably succumb to pest, fire and insect damage or disease in the near future if not logged. Lands are left in the best productive condition possible and logging supervision insures that damage to residual trees and reproduction is kept to a minimum. This not only reduces danger from fire but helps protect vital watersheds.
As a result, the railroad is now growing more wood than ever before and doing an enlightened job of forestry while operating at a profit to the benefit of not only SP but also the general public.

Several unique nen' features in Kaiser Aluminum's roofing and siding promotional program should give "greater-than-ever sales support to building materials n holesalers and dealers," Gerber said.
ITe pointed out these additions to the program: 1) a plan to aid clealers in "open-hc)use" roofing demonstratiorrs; 2) a $2.5 allon'ance for announcement-type advertising by nerv stocking dealers; 3) an entirely ne\v, year 'round cooperative aclvertising program on standard or farm roofing; 4) personalized, direct-mail prograrr-r to farm prospects at no cost tt.r the dealer, and 5) a ne\\r series of in-store displal's.
"While not itself a rrromotional item." X{r. Gerber explained, "Kaiser Alurninum's new policy of permitting joblrers and clealers to make their on'n adiustments and repl:rcenrents of roofing nraterials indicates'our conrplete confidence in our building products."
Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corporation is dividing its aluminum operaticrns into fir.e major divisions, each ttnder a gencral manager, and is naming an administrative manager to supervise some of the staff functions serving the divisions, announced D. A. Rhoades, vice-presiclent and general manzrger. The neu' clivisions and their general managers are : Nletals division, Stanley B. White; Inclustrial division, John E. Nlenz; Electrical Conclrrctor division, J. T. Dugall; Pro<lucts division, Flou'ard C. llohnes, and Overseas division. Rav G. l3ovd.
The nelv posifion of aclministrative manager goes to Fred J. I)reu'cs. 'fhe divisional general managers rvill be directly responsible to T. J. lteady, Jr., vice-presicier-rt and assistant general manafier, u'ho is in charge of all the corporation's alrrminum operations. S. S.

The sales offices, located in 49 principal citie s of the country, u'ill be grouped into six geographic regions headed by regional managers, who 'ivill be given broad responsibility and authority to provide more efficient ancl direct service to ctlstomers.
"During the past eleven years, Kaiser Aluminum's sales have grorvn from less than $50-million to over $3S0-n-rillion annually," I\fr. Rhoades st;rted. "Norv a new era of gron'th lies ahead. Our continuing expansion, increasing orrr primary capacity by 40c/o to more than 600,000 tons, by the end of 1958, and the increasing scope of our activities, have led us to develop this new concept of management."

The least expensive n'ooden fence post tliat you can buy today in tenns of annual cost is one u.hich has been properly pressure-treated. Every year, more and more of these long-l:rsting posts are produced to meet the grorving public demand. When deeply penetrated by a pror-en l)reserva- tive, these posts u'ill last 30 years ()r more, as has becrr clemonstrated many times.
The Service lJureau, American Wood-I,resert.ers' Association, points out that the proper place for the consumer to buy prcssure-treated lvoocl posts is from his regular retail lumber dealer or farm supply store. These business men are people of responsibility. They obtain their stocks of such posts direct from pressure-treating plants of recognized stancling and years of experience in this intricate and exacting industry. Shipments of pressure-trcated posts, poles arrd iumber usually move on order by rail from these plants to the retail clistribrrtion points. Thel' are not trucked at random around the country ar-r<l sold by truck pecldlers as in the casc of inferior material.
Nlarrv treating plants, u,hich har.e lorrg beerr in thc busi-
ness and n'hich are justly proud of the reputation that their products have achieved for qualitv and great cluratrility, nou' brand their fence posts. This is generallv clone by a clistinctivc hammer mark or a metal tag on thc ends. Any reputable plant rvill furnish the retail yard l.ith a certificate or t'arranty of the treatment given to its posts. These precautions are taken as a means of service and orotecti<tn to the brr1,er.
In recent 1'cars, unf<trtunatelv, there have bcen too many cases rvhere "black posts" have lteen peddled from itinerant trucks zr"nd u'hcre these so called "treated posts" have failed irom decay after a fel' r'cars in the ground. In some instances, the posts u,ere tnerely blackened on the outsidc, and in others there n'as :r moderate amount of oil penetration. In any event, it mtrst be rentenrbered that petroleum oils are not in thcnrselr'es prescrvatives ancl no amount of dipping or soaking or even pressrlre treating u.ith a nontoxic oil is going to cretrte a drrr:r.ble post.
The United States government's standards for the prcssure treatment of fence posts are based rrpon thc sltecifications of the -\merican \\rood-Preservers' Association. Iior thc greatest durability rrncler aclverse conclitions, posts lnust be pressure treateci to :r fir-ral reter.rtion of (r lb. per crr. ft. oi u'oocl rvith cither creosote. or creosotc-coal tar soluticln, or a 5ll, solutior-r of pentachlorophcnol in oil. or:r similar solrrti<rn oi coppcr rralrthenlLte equivalent to O.5lt copper. This nre:rns that there must lte left in the l-oorl after treatnrent:rt least (i 1b. of one oi these lrreserr-atir.es in each cu. ft. of the post. Circsote-ltetroleunr solutior.rs n.ray also lte ac ccpted:is a l)rcservrttive, proviclcrl that at least half of it is creos()tc ancl lrrr-,r'i<lcd thlrt the linal rctention is incre:rserl to 7 lb. per cu. ft. fi-r arldition, it is also mandlLtory that certain clcfinite clepths oi irnpregrr:Ltion arc reached as u result of the pressttre trelttitre Pr',ccss.

Vzrriotts chcmical salts are also approved as preservirtives, particularly for locertions n'here immecliate painting is desiralrle or u.here an oily surface can not be toGrated on thc u,oorl. For such conditions, posts are usually pressure treatecl u'ith either 0.55 lb. of Tanalith (\\rolman salts), or 1.15 lb. of chromated-zinc chloride. cir 0..15 lb. of Chemonite yler cu. ft.
The ultimate consumer or buver in his orvn interest should l)r()cure llosts from his local ret:ril dealer, and the Scn'ice Prrlr€lr"u.
