There are many varied uses for Duraflake, the high-grade wood-forrned particle board manufactured by the Duraflake Company at Albany, Oregon. But none gives Duraflake officials more satisfaction than the uses made of their products by The Trappist Cistercian Abbey of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Situated in the beautiful rolling hills near Lafayette, Oregon is the Abbey. There, self-supporting Trappist monks have a small factory making approximately 1,000 feet of church pews a month. The raw material used ii Duraflake, which has machine ability and screw.holding quality, no coarse surface particles, no face patches, nor core voids to mar the surface.

The silent monks turn out beaut,ifrrlly finished pews for Catholic cl-rurches in the West. The Duraflake core is covered with hard board upon which is laminated the traditional red oak or walnut veneer for a lustrous fir.rish. A small percentage of the pews are Duraflake covered with Kevinite, a polyester lamination.

The seat supports are 2r/a inches thick, consisting of three layers ol 3/a inch Duraflake glued together. The back of the pews is one-inch thick, r,r'hile the seats are lfu inch thick.

The industrious monks, rvorking in a u'ell-equipped factory at the edge of the Abbey grounds, are proud of the product they are making from Duraflake. So that they may keep their church pews competitive in price with other manufacturers. the Abbev factory is automated as much as poisible. But much of the work is done by hand and the finished products reflect the strict and loving attention given the beautiful pews.

Because the manufacture and sale of church pews is the main support of the Abbey, there seems to be an extra cluality expressed in the monks' efforts.

The nearly 60 monks lead a somern'hat siient, contemplative life. Their rigicl routine calls them to go to bed orr straw at 7 p.m. and arise at 2:15 a.m. They sing the services until 4 a.m. when private masses are said. Breakfast is at 5 a.m. with private time. readirrg and studying, conferences, high (Continued, on Page 34)
