M. C. "Doc" Whire Ends Four Deccldes In Lumber Wifh Refirement

One of the western lumber industry's better-known lumbermen, Millard "Doc" White, general manager of Christenson Lumber ComDany in San Francisco. announced his re-, tirement August -15.- Succeeding him as manag'er of the Christenson yard will be Hugh Vella, who joined the Christenson organization many years ago from the J. R. Hanify Lumber Co.

Millard, better known as "l)oc" to his many friends, is a true lumberman of the first order. A native of Denver, he received his start over four decades ago with Hallack & l{oward Lumber Co. there. He later went to work for McPhee & N{cGinty Lumber Company, a large Wyoming lineyard outfit, but in 1923, like a lot of other young men, "Came West" to San Jose, where he became assistant auditor of Sunset Lumber Company. After several years with the Sunset organization and its successor, Tilden Lumber Company, Doc went to work for McElroy-Cheim Lumber Company. Ile remained with that firm until the mid-30's when it became two separate operations-McElroy Lumber Company and Cheim Lumber Company.

Doc then moved to Oakland to take over as assistant manager of Bay City Lumber Co., Inc. He remainecl with that concern over eight years until, one day during the war years, he was offered the Christenson Lumber Company managership.

Besides being a top-notch lumberman, Doc has excelled in his hobbies (golf and breeding dogs) too ! A current low handicapper and director of Dubs, Ltd., the Bay Area lumbermen's golf organization, Doc has a roomful of trophies he captured in his younger years-among them trophies for winning the Wyoming Open in 1921, and the Denver City Championship in 1916 and 1917. His other hobby (breeding fine dogs) has earned plenty of trophies for those shelves, too. Doc's canines have won ribbons and trophies in numerous shows throughout the Western states. At present, he is especially interested in raising Scottish terriers.

So, between raising dogs and playing golf (both strictly for pleasure .9*), tending t-o his Oakland home and devoting an increasing amount of time to the securities market, Doc will still manage to work a full day, and then some, just as he has done all his life.
