,,SHEDS WATER LIKE A DUCK'S BACK"

In the past we've applied a water-repellent to our bevel siding, when ordered that way. Now all Rockport Redwood bevel siding is factory-sealed with Woodtox, for maximum protection-and of no entra cost. With this added value. lumber dealers can now offer their customers a truly superior product at competitive prices.

The advantages of water-repellent treatment are widely recognized, since moisture is the greatest single cause of problems with wood sidings.

BEVET $[DING IS FACTORY SEATED

Beautiful Carol Rourke, new Queen of National Forest Products Week is here being officially crowned by last year's Queen Phyllis Hawkins. Queen Carol will be attending. the variols social and civic funciions during N.F.p.W and will climax her reign at.thelumber industry-civic lurcheon at the [os Angeles Chamber of Commerce, 0ctober 23, when more than 250 will gather to salutd our industrv. Carol will make a knowledgeable, as well as an attractive queen as she hds been in the industry for close to 12 years.

It is said that when Abraham Lincoln was first mentioned as a candidate for President many people thought it a huge joke. He was poor, and he was awkward. Someone was heard to remark about him that he couldn't possibly be president, as he had no money, no pull, "nothing but a lot of friends."

Think of that remark! Nothine but a lot of friends! Nothine but a fortune that the gold of d.o".u, could not buv" and thl lamp of Alladin could no"t match. Someone said of the great baseball pitcher, Walter Johnson: "Johnson can't pitch, because all he's got is a fast ball." And, a listener answered, "Yes, and all John D. Rockefeller's got is a billion dollars."

During our earlier years, life is a mystOry, death is a far-off thing, friendships are not imbedded so rock-ribbed in the inner recesses of the heart and soul, and the loss of a friend is a wound soon healed over. But during the later years of life when human values become so vastly different, the loss of a friend creates a void that is never filled.

What better thought could we entertain than one of rejoicing and thanking God for friends and friendship. Rejoicing for those who have gone before-who since last year have answered that solemn roll-call-and for those who still remain to cheer and bless us. For those who have gone, let us rejoice that they were here, that we knew and loved them and enjoyed the blessing of their friendship; and for those that are still here, why not plan to see them more often, to serve them better, and derive the biggest possible return from* ro*

from communion with them.

What is friendship? It means understanding, loyalty, and helpfulness. Friendship is not a passive thing-nor should not be. It should be an active, sleepless intent and purpose to do some. thing for that other fellow. I know men--and have been blessed by the trust of men-who absolutely amaze me by their high concept of the duties and responsibilities of a friend. A friend, to such men as I mention, is one whom you keep ever in your thoughts and seek continually for some opportunity to serve and help and boost and assist in any possible way.

BY JACK DIONNE

The man who has that concept of friendship never lacks friends. How could he? I know no better method of keeping that boy inside of you alive than by working at your friendships. For that boy in you-that boy in every man-is essentially a friendly, happy fellow. And, when you keep your friendships alive and active, you keep him alive.

Friendliness, tolerance, fellowship, interest in others, a deter. mination to be joyful and keep those you contact cheered upthese are the things that keep that boy in you alive and h"ppy; and the finest of these is friendship.

Youngsters often say things that, coming from grown folks, would be sacrilege. One of my good friends has a six-year-old son. About a week before Christmas the youngster said to his father: o'Dad, who is the biggest man, Santa Claus or Jesus Christ?" 'oWhy, son," said the father shocke4 ootJrere is no comparison; of course Jesus Christ is the biggest." The kid scratched his head thoughtfully. "Well, Dad," he said, "I guess that's all right for you, but if you don't mind, I believe I'll just string along with Santa Claus." Lots of older men are doing the same thing'*+***

The pessimist and the optimist were talking politics. The pessimist spoke of a recently elected politician, whose entire lack of intelligence, ability and character he proclaimed in unmeasured terms. ooBut," said the optimist, "there is one thing that must be said in favor of his election." "And, what can that be, pray?" asked the pessimist. o'His success," said the optimist, "will be an eternal inspiration to every ignorant, worthless rascal who aspires to run for public office." And so, you see, he who seeks for good maY find it anYwhere'

Philosophers have often said that whenever God has great work to be done He creates a galaxy of great men to do it. Then all I've got to say is, He must not consider our problems of today very serious.

STA]IDARDS key to expanded market opportunities

Present national standards for light lumber framing are completely unrealistic and they tend to block new market opportunities for quality lumber. Reform is long overdue. The new standard wilt lead to better lumber performance, lower building costs, lower shipping costs and increased sales.

The newALS standard will:

o Establish for the first time, definitive lumber sizes based on moisture content.

o Establish a realistic l/2,, thickness for dry framing.

O Require 75/s avetage moisture content with !9/s maximum for dry lumber.

O Provide clear identification of dry lumber.

O Require green lumber sizes to allow for shrinkage to the equivalent size and strength of dry. The great weakness of the present system is the requirement that dry lumber be manufactured oversize to satisfy span tables based on the lesser strength of green lumber. This wasfus a billion board feet of lumber annually, inflafus the cost of construction and causes lumber dealers to lose sales to other more competitive products.

Your suppoft is needed

Although Weyerhaeuser is one of the nation's largest producers of green lumber, we are actively working for adoption of the new standard in the interests of a better lumber product and a better lumber market for everyone. The proposal is being circulated now by the Department of Commerce as revised Simplified Practices Recommendation 16-53. We respectfully urge you to write today to the Department of Commerce,. Washington 25, D. C., expressing your approval. Every letter counts.

Proposed new AtS standards will provide improved products, space sayingsr lower Gosts for dealers.

Proposed New /fne Continuing Lumber Standards I Controversy

you right in the pocketbook !

NATIONAL LUMBER MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION

A beneficial new system of establishing lumber sizes at a maximum moisture content of 19 per cent (15 per cent average) has been recommended by 'the American Lumber Standards Comrnittee for industrywide adoption.

Under the proposed new standard, the minimum dressed thickness for nominal 2-inch lumber will be Ir/z inches at the 19 per cent maximum moisture condition. For normal l-inch boards, the new drydressed thickness will be 3/a-inch. A new E/*-inch dry-dressed thickness also has been approved. Present ALS widths remain unchanged, except that they will now apply at the 19 per cent maximum moisture condition.

The immediate benefits of the ALS Committee's new proposalswhen accepted by the U. S. Department of Commercewill be that of havins uniform dimensions. in service. for both uns"ason"d and seasoned lumber. All lumber, surfaced after seasoning to the 19 per cent moisture condition, will be marked to provide the consumer with easy identification.

A long recognized fact is that the moisture content of lumber controls its dimensions. But this is the first time, in a lumber standard affecting the entire softwood industry, that these two basic factors have been definitely related by standardizing sizes at a specific moisture condition,

In addition to the ALS Committee, others who have assisted in developing and promoting the proposqd new size standards include technical representatives of the National Association of Home Builders, the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory, the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, and construction experts of the U. S. Savings and Loan League.

LUMBER ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHERN CALIFORMA

The Honorable Luther H. Hodges Secretary of Commerce Department of Commerce Washington, D. C.

Dear Mr. Secretary:

Enclosed is a copy of a questionnaire distributed to all Southern California Lumbermen. You will note that most have asked to be placed on the "Acceptor List."

This Association continues to maintain its position that the proposal approved by the ALS Committee is not an accurate reflection of the industry as a whole and does not take into account the wishes o{ the consuming public. Furthermore, we join with the mills that supply lumber for the California market in feeling that the American Lumber Standards Committee as presently constituted should be dissolved and a more representative Committee appointed thereafter to approach the Standardization question {rom a less biased point of view. A new committee could take into account requirements of governing agencies, building officials, consumers, re-

WESTERN LUMBER MARKETING ASSOCIATION

The Western Lumber Marketing Associa' tion has announced its stand on "package" changes in the size and moisture content of diiension lumber which are being proposed by the American Lumber Stand' ards Committee.

W.L.M.A. president Hershal M. Tanzer of Portland said that a written poll among his group's membership indicated that 69/o oI the members were against proposed changes as they now stand', 28/6 took no position either way, and only 3/o of the voting lumbermen favored the A.L.S. changes. The western trade organization represents wholesalers and sawmills that cut and ship more than I,000,000 carloads o{ lumber to the east annually.

Tanzer says "There has been no comprehensive industry-wide survey of small and large mills, integrated operators, rvholesalers, retailers, builders, trade unions, antl consumers and architects to determine what they want; what changes they support to help put wood back into its proper position as leader in the buildine materials field.

'oFurther," Tanzer said, "laboratory testing of fiber strength and other factors common to green or dry dimension lumber has, not been sufficiently complete or in' tense enough to justify this fast-paced, illconsidered series of proposalswith all deference to scientists who have begun to study wood's qtrenglh in various dimensions and with varying moisture content.

ANNUAL BLACK BART BARBECUE

AGAIN A SUCCESS

When the sawmill boys and wholesalers in Mendocino County throw a _bash, you can hear it all the way down the State. And this year's Annual Barbeque was no exception. Just ask any of the 80 lumbermen who attended the event.

The Black Bart Hoo-Hoo Club l8l barbeque was staged July 26, at the home of Bill Moores in Ukiah. Luckily, Bill "had just returned to Ukiah after 6 months in Hawaii, so-he was able to attend his own party. Enough has been said on the subject in the past, but without the swell hospitality afiorded by Kane Moores, his beautiful pool and lanai, it Just wouldn't be the same.

Ross Blanchard ends 52 year refail career

R. W, Blanchard, Sr., for the past 52 years president of Blanchard Lumber Co., 5360 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood, California, has retired following a life-time spent in the retail lumber business and in community service.

Ross started in lumber at the turn of the century when he joined the Davidson-Case concern in Oklahoma City way back in I90I. It was in lgll that he and his brother, W. A. Blanchard, established in North Hollywood and Ross has maintained his headquarters at the same location sinoe.

Now there are three generations of the Blanchard family actively engaged in the retail operation, R. W. "Bus" Blanchard, Jr., has been elected president of the firm and his brothel, Lemoine Blanchard, former Los Angeles City Councilman, has been named vice-president. The two executivs officers each have a son identified in the business. Warren, Bus' son, is on the sales counter and Ross Lemoine, Lemoine's son, is starting his education operating a hyster in the yard during school vacation.

The nerv president of this forward thinking retail organization joined the firm immediately upon graduation from the University of Southern California in 1928. He, too, has trearned the retail lumber business from the ground up and by actual experience in every department from purchasing to sales and from operations to administration. Lemoine Blanchard also has been prominently

identified in the business all his life with the exception of time out for civic and community servce.

The Blanchard Lumber Company has grown with the North Hollywood community since established 52 years ago. Starting with just three employes at that time the retail firm now employs more than 35 experienced lumber people. Some of the personnel have been with the pioneer concern for more than 45 years. Several others have past the 32 year mark; another 25 and several others with more than 15 years. This record is clearly indicative of fine working conditions and personnel relations.

The Blanchard North Hollywood yard has sold an estimated 500,000,000 feet of material since opening for business more than a half century ago. That's enough wood to build in excess of 200,000 fine homes with some left over. It has been said that much of the building material in the fast growing San Fernando valley has been furnished by the ooBlanchard Family" lumber dealers.

Roscoe 'oRoss" W. Blanchard has truly earned his right to take it easy. He can do sp with the knowledge that has family 'ostafi" will carry on serving the constantly growing residential area in the San Fernando valley. He has been active in social and civic affairs and will maintain his interest in community projects, Ross said.

To a true pioneer in our business we give our salute for a job well done.

R. W. "Ross" Blanchard, Sr., who is retiring after a very successful retail lumber career that spans 52 years is here flanked by sons, Lemoine (lefO, former los Angeles city councilman, and R. !V. "Bus" Blanchard Jr., on right.

In this home which features both grab; and distinction, the focus is on free-andeasy living. Warm hearted and traditional charm radiates from this design.

From the covered porch, there is access to both the house and garage. A short hall leads ftom the entry to all-four bedrooms and both the living and family rooms.

A living room located at the side 9f a desigrr--such as this one-offers a view to both the front and the rear of the lot. A wide fireplace recessed into the garage to save footage in the living room is another feature of this room.

Sliding glass doors connect both the family'and living rooms to the large circular patio and in this way provide the ut-

most in indoor-outdoor living.

The family room is open to the kitchen and forms one large informal area. The eating area in the kitchen is surrounded by windows while a wide window at the sink offers an ever changing view of the patio and rear garden.

One water heater is in the service while another plus is the furnace has been placed in the garage. If preferred, one of these water heaters could be eliminated during construction. A broom closet plus laundry space and overhead storage cabinets have also been located in the service.

The rear bath has a wide storage closet, a pullman lavatory and a stall shower. It can be entered from both the service and

We thank you. Topper thanks you. It's really all the same. You see, Topper stands for California Pacific Sales Corporation and the finest Redwood in the land. He's our symbol. Of tough to beat prices for our quality and service. You'll note, he's a mighty big man. So big, that in order to save room for a few well chosen words, we've had to substitute his purple hard-hat. Topper doesn't mind. We trust you won't either. Just remember, whenever you see the purple hard-hat, Topper's nearby. So's everything he stands for. Four of them are listed below. Check 'em please !

At the most! That's right! Delivery is often the same day you order. Our system isn't particularly unusual. It's just plain practical. Our competitors say we take the easy way out. And maybe we do. But we find it a rvhole lot easier working your order at once, than making excuses later. Why don't you order the easy way. Order Redwood from Cal-Pac.

Four and one-half million. 4,500,000. No matter horv you rvrite it, our large yard spells "advantage" to our Redwood customers. Means they get what they order today, right now. Gives our customers the advantage of getting orders filled no matter what size or grade. Actually, it's like having 4.5 million board feet of quality redwood right in your o\vn yard. It could save you a sale.

Here's another edvantage. Direct mill hookups guarantee Cal-Pac a reliable source of top grade redrvood. It's a good combination. Quality and quantity. We don't mean to say we're the only company with this advantage. But coupled with our many others, rve have a combination that can't be beat. Give us a ring and see for yourself. You'll find it pays.

Saves a lot of trouble as rvell as sales. For both Cal-Pac and their customers. Go ahead: Order a hard-to-get size and grade. Chances are you'll have it rvithin hours. No rvaiting trvo and three lveeks. No special charges. Not rvhen you order from Cal-Pac. Why? Because rve maintain a complete variety of the finest redrvood available.

We first noticed Auburn Lumber Company's attractive chalettype prefab at last year's California State Fair. Even took the tour through it with the rest of the Fair crowd. Good action, but we still couldn't help wondering if they really knew what they were getting into. This prefab business is tricky at best; and it's expensive to get into because you need the latest equipment if you hope to slug it out toe to toe with the competition.

So, a year later we stopped by to see Gordon Davis who handles the lumber buying for Auburn Lumber and rides herd on the company's branches at Colfax, Newcastle, Loomis, Dixon and Woodland. "How's the Sierra Chalet prefab going?" we asked cautiously. "Gad, we really have a grizzly bear by the tail. Never seen anything take hold like this," was his reply.

On the date of our visit last month Auburn Lumber had crews working on 20 jobs from the Sierra {oothills below Auburn clear over the "hill" into lake Tahoe. And not all of these jobs were second home Chalets. Several were permanent prefab homes; one included a 9 unit prefabricated apartment building in Auburn.

From a dead stop in the Spring oI 1962, Auburn Lumber shipped some 50 Sierra Chalet models from Point Reyes to Tahoe. And sales this year will make that look like a meager beginning. Sales of the prefab division (known as ALCO Independence Homes -division of Auburn Lumber Co.) currently account for nearly one-half of the entire company's volume, Davis disclosed. And their sights are set even higher next year.

Although some of the smaller Chalet models are erected by do-it-yourselfers, the company itself builds most of the jobs. Auburn Lumber has its own carpenter and plumbing crews, Elec-

Seen at the top of this page is the basic 768 sq. ft. Sierra Chalet located on busy Highway 50 in Auburn. Auburn Lumber also has two more prefab rnodels at Lake Tahoe.

This firm (next picture below) may be 107 years old, but you'd sure never know it the way it looks and operates. Firm boasts some 8000 sq. ft. of store area including a complete G-E appliance center. Seen in center is the first of three deliveries, steel strapped and ready for delivery the next morning. Plywood for sub floor will be loaded on top as it goes into the job first. First load contains all sidewall panels and partitions, including sub floor, for the first floor of the Sierra Chalet.

This plant (lower photo) manufactures wall panels only. Panels are delivered to the job complete with insulation.

Expansion Program Completed

Harry Perry, president Perry International, has announced that the change to new headquarters has been completed.

The door and plywood concern is again in full operation turning out in excess of 2500 doors per shift, plus offering diversified services to retailers and industrial users.

The conclusion of the expansion program of the manufacturing and importing firm increases the warehouse area to 129,000 square feet, located on a 6-car Santa Fe spur in the Inglewood industrial district at 1611 West Florence Ave.

Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Plans

Fufl Program for 1964

Snark Wally Lingo presented his plans for the 1963-64 Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo club 2 activities to his new steering committee at an August dinner meeting.

The year's schedule was discussed and will get underway Friday, September 27th, when the Los Angeles club members will entertain the Salt River Valley Hoo-Hoo Black Cats at a golf tournament, cocktail party and banquet at Inglewood Country Club. The next evening will be spent at Dodger Stadium entertaining the boys from Phoenix when the Ios Angeles team meets the San Francisco Giants in Los Angeles for the last time this year.

A memorial to Gus Luellwitz was sponsored by the steering committee of Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo club 2, and developed by Roy Stanton, Sr., Dee ksley and Harvey Koll. A cash donation was made to the LeRoy Boys Home in the name of Gus Luellwitz in memory of his kindness over a period of years when he made many donations supporting the activities of the work of the fraternal organization. Jeff Brooks, of Brooks-Dodge Lumber Company, Los Angeles, also contributed to the school in the name of the renown southland lumber executive, who was prominent in wood products afrairs for more than a half century.

Under the direction and guidance of Snark Wally a full schedule of entertainment is planned for the Hoo-Hoo year. o'We intend to make this a fun club with complete social and sports schedules to please all members," said Snark W.lly. 'oThough we are strictly a social fraternity we will give serious thought and consideration to industry problems, but our main objective is relaxation for our membership," he continued.

So, to continue on to National Forest Products Week, the committee voted to support the activity financially, furnish members to aid in the luncheon promotion and to hold a Concatenation, golf tournament, cocktail party and dinner October IBth.

November 15th will be family weekend and will probably be held at Apple Valley. Hacienda Country CIub will be the location for the golf tournament, cocktail party and Christmas dinner December 20th.

January ITth is scheduled for country club entertainment, which will include the works. General Lee's, in China Town, has again been selected for the annual dinner dance to be held February l4th in honor of St. Valentine.

On March 13th the membership will honor St. Patrick by holding the big spring Concat. April ITth the "Old Timers" will be honored at a banquet following golf and cocktails.

A stag party will be scheduled for Lakewood Counuy Club May lSth, which will include a golf tournament and entertainment with all the trimrnings. June l9th, July lTth and August 21st have also been selected for family summer programs. This will include picnics, beach parties and cook-outs.

Snark Wally has a big schedule to follow. He will be assisted by the following steering committee chairmen and their "Black Cat" associates. Members who will work all year to assure this active program will be successful include: Publicity: Dave Cutler and Ole May; Concat: Ken Kenoffell, Norm Wendell, Frank Quattrocchi, Don Gow; Golf : Ken Coleman, Doug Maple, Ben Gardiner; Entertainment: Jack Wheeler, Don Swartzendruber, Lee Kramer; Membership: Jim Martindale, Jim Rossman, Harry White, Walter Smith; LeRoy's Boy Homes: Dee Essley, Roy Stanton, Harvey Koll, Chuek Lember; Boy Scout's Explorer: Harold Cole, Harvey Koll; Master at arms: Ernie Matthes, Mike Walsh; HooHoo Ettes Liaison: Phil Kelty; NFPW Trophy: Joe Petrash, Jim Forgie, John Lipani, Norm lVendell; Boards and Batts: Phil Kelty; Nominating: Wally Lingo, Ben Gardiner, Harold Cole, John Lipani and Phil Kelty; Host Committee: Fred Smith, Don Johnson, Harold Cole; Prize Committee: Frank Quattrochi, Chairm8n.

Hoo-Hoo-Ettes Hold Roaring Twenties Party

Free beer marked the last L. A. Hoo. Hoo-Ette get-together, when a flexible plan, with no strict schedule of events, enabled everyone to take advantage of the splendid facilities provided by the Schlitz Brewery people in Van Nuys.

After a merry "Happy Hour" around the bar, the "flappers" lined up at the massive buffet groaning with goodieso and loaded their plates with dozens of delicious items.

A superior I once worked for, a credit supervisor with many years of experience, once said, 'oThe stronger and more efficient

a credit department is the more chances the sales department can take."

How true that is. But" there are still far

too many retailers, building supply dealers among them, who fall flat on their faces because they are constantly pushing their sales force for more sales, giying the sales force all the advantages of sales training, but not building close cooperation between the sales division and the credit division. Sales go up, and unfortunately, receivable outstandings go up. Big gross sales figures look good on the books and collection effort is slacked ofi to keep Mr. and Mrs. Credit Buyer coming back.

Credit managers and sales managers must build teams that cooperate with each other and be able to adjust to changing times and the changing economy. Sales personnel should be trained not only to make sales, but to ask for the cash at the time the sale is made. Surely, it's just as easy for the salesman to ask for the cash as it is the credit manager.

Judging from my experienceo the median income of semiskilled and unskilled labor is declining. Collection agency men from Seattle to San Diego are complaining that collections are getting tougher and tougher, and mention that these two groups are hard to collect from. Analysis of credit applications and investigation of delinquents I assist show more of their customers in these two groups. Take a good look at your receivables and see how many customers you have on the books that fall into one of these categories. Keep this in mind: most of the semi-skilled and unskilled are solely dependent on current income to survive.

Another reminder. Stop grgnting credit to working wives who are the sole support of a family. We all know that there are more working wives than ever before, but working wives contribute very little to family support.

I am of the opinion that more and more State legislation will be enacted from time to time in the hope of curbing credit abuses by both debtors and creditors. I believe that there are certain danger signals flying, and what it will take to spark another boom is anybody's guess.

Play it safe. Stop guessing which of your credit customers will pay, and which won't pay. No matter how large or small an operator you are, whether wholesaler or retailer, build your credit sales on facts!

U. S. Plywood Sponsors Jerry Lewis TV

United States Plywood Corporation will co-sponsor the new two-hour Jerry Lewis Show over ABC-TV Saturday nights during the'63:64 television season, the company has announced.

The company's Weldwood product line also will be advertised in expanded coverage on the Ron Cochran Evening Report over ABC-TV.

The Jerry l,ewis show, which debuts Sept. 2I, will be a completely "live" program broadcast from Hollywood and {eaturing personalities from all walks of life. On his infrequent television appearances, Lewis has scored extremely high ratings.

U.S. Plywood made its debut as a sponsor of prime time television last season with the Sam Benedict show on NBC-TV and the Cochran news show. This sponsorship was the first for any plywood company.

Before deciding to continue its sponsorship of national network television for the consumer market, the company assigned the Gallup organization to conduct a poll on the effectiveness of its TV advertisine.

"The results were highly impressive." says R. S. Lowell, advertising director.

"Major findings were that total consumers aware of the Weldwood brand of wall paneling increased by 75 per cent during the TV campaign. This was particularly significant in light of the fact that previous market research had shown Weldwood paneling to be by {ar the best known brand on the marketactually twice as wellknown as its nearest competitor."

"Other findings were that consumerrs with a favorable attitude toward the product increased by 50 per cent. Viewers of the two separate shows were much more aware of Weldwood as a trade name and had a much more favorable attitude toward the product than non-viewers."

An estimated 40 per cent of American households were exposed to one or more o{ the programs, the Gallup poll revealed.

'oThe clear conclusion is that our initial venture into TV was extremely successful in reaching consumers with our sales message," said Mr, lnwell.

The manufacture of mouldings and millwork is much more complicated today than it was a few years ago. This, I presume, is true of most any pres€nt-day business.

Take our operation as an illustration: We normally maintain at least a six week

order file-give or take two weeks. We are now talking about 90 cars of millwork to be obligated for, or another way to look at it: a million dollars worth of business. Now our complications begin to arise I in one customer being entirely out of a certain moulding item or jambs. This will require some strong thinking and planning as to how this extra car can be worked into the scheduled production. Somehow it is accomplished and another good account is protected.

Our place in the moulding and millwork picture is perhaps more complicated than most manufacturers of such items. We maintain schedules for approximately seven cars of White Fir and Douglas Fir mouldings and millwork each month. The California market wants Douglas Fir jambs and is a large user of pine finger joint jambs and moulding items. We ship approximately 12 cars of finger joint stock each month and with the California market demanding more finger joint material, we hope to be in a position to supply a larger percentage of this business. You can see from our overall production that finger joint and fir represent approximately 25/o of. our total shipments.

D. F. P. A. Add-a-room Program

More than 700 dealers and remodelers around t}e country have joined the Douglas Fir Plywood Association in the launching of its new Add-a-room program, aimed entirely at the r4arket for room additions. the campaign is the only one of its kind designed specifically to promote the addition of space to a horne, rather than the remodeling of an existing structure.

' DFPA decided to start its campaign after researoh indicated that nearly $l billion will be spent this year in the United States by home-owners who will add new rooms to their homes.

Ina survey of 2,5fi) consumers, the Association found that more than half (55 per cent) of those returning survey queries would add a bedroom or family room to their homes if they had finances for remodeling. Another 14 per cent would add new bathrooms.

Another survey of more than 2,000 home irodernizers across the country revealed that ?6 per cent of the respondents preferred adding remodeline the space to a home to house. They feel the

profit is higher in new room additions, jobs go faster, and opportunities to sell fixtures and other appurtenances are greater.

Some of the top dealer-remodelers in the country are among the 70O who have entered the program. Dealers are supplied with display material, an operating manual, suggested floor plans and drawings, and advertising suggestions and art work to help get the program into gear in their localities.

But perhaps the most important part of the program for dealers is the consumer leads periodically supplied to dealers by DFPA. These leads, generated by continuing advertising and publicity in most of the nation's major magazines and newspapers, are broken down into geographical areas of the nation and sent to the more than 700 dealers and remodelers already promoting the campaign within these regions. By mid-summer, consumer requests had reached nearly 5,000 and DFPA hopes to generate 40,OO0 to 50,000 such leads by next spring.

Dealers are following up these consumer leads with mailing pieces provided in the DPFA modernizer's kit or with personal calls.

The basic designs in the Add-a-room program cover family rooms and bedrooms, Designers have standardized every possible facet of construction with the result that the plans will fit almost any post-war house.

One reason the home remodeling busi ness has grown so fast in recent years is

U. S. Plywood to Acquire McCloud River Lumber

United States Plywood President Gene C. Brewer and McCloud River Lumber Company President L. G. Carpenter have announced that an agreement had been reached for the purchase by U. S. Plywood of all the assets of tbe McCloud Co.n located primarily in Northern California, for a sum in excess of $40 million.

"The U. S. Plywood proposal has been approved by our Board of Directors," Mr. Carpenter said, "and is being submitted to McCloud stockholders for approval at a meeting at company headquarters in Minneapolis."

Properties of the McCIoud Company are located principally in Northern California about 300 miles north of San Francisco and consist of a large, integrated lumber facility and 1.2 billion board feet of virgin timber, primarily pine, on 86 thousand acres of timberlands. McCloud also has under contract rights to an addi' tional l.l billion feet of comparable timber.

"United States Plywood will continue to operate McCloud's existing facilities in California," Mt. Brewer said. United States Plywood operates a large integrated forest products complex, in' cluding the worldos largest particle board plant, in Shasta County, directly adjacent to Siskiyou County where McCloud properties are located.

U. S. Plywood owns or controls 8.4 billion board feet of timber at the present time in the U. S. and Canada.

"Plywood lnAportmenfs" ls Sublect Of New D.F.P.A. Booklet

o'Plywood in Apartments", the first major publication of its kind for forest products, is the title of a new 27-page booklet by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association.

The new publication is a guide for the use of plywood in all phases of medium- and low-rise apartment construction (four stories or less) and is intended {or use by architects, engineers and builders. The booklet points out how the trend toward garden and townhouse apartment projects makes it possible for builders to use plywood in apartments to achieve the same efficiencies that have revolutionized the home building industry in recent years.

One section, developed especially for the new booklet and never before published, explains the facts on sound control in apartment building. Five pages of information, including detailed drawings, show how plywood's basic properties help to insulate against airborne and impact sound and how it can best be used for this purPose.

Ratings are sholvn for typical plywood wall and floor-ceiling assemblies and constructions are classified as partitions, party walls, etc. A list oi do's and dont's (DO utilize rnass for airborne sound insulation. DON'T rely on ni.ass for imry,ct soznd insulation.) for controlling noise is also included.

Another portion of the booklet describes how plywood and lumber construction meets various code regulations. Detail drawings are included.

Besides information on plywood use in every phase of apartment construction from sublloor to built-ins, the booklet outlines 12 ideas for plywood siding, using the single-wall construction system, and includes a section on the "extras", such as storage units and privacy {ences, that help get and keep tenants.

The final section of the book is a plywood grade-use guide, intended to help specifiers choose the right type and grade of plywood for the job.

Single copies of the booklet, "Plywood in Apartmentso', are available from the Douslas Fir Plywood Association. Tacoma 2, Washington, 98401.

Millwork Council Formed by NBMDA

NBMDA President Lewis Jenkins has remarked that "there has been a growing need during the past several years for National Building Material Distributors Assoriation members who are increasing their distribution of millwork products, to develop within NBMDA their own areas for information, publicity and promotion. "

An initial survey made among NBMDA members indicated that approximately 40 percent of the 650 warehouses represented l-ry NBMI)A handle millwork.

The major objectives of the NIIMDA Millwork Council will be comparable to the other NBN'IDA services and will provide an interchange of business inlormation, including statistical surveys as well as promoting and publicizing the value of the distributor of millwork. Manufacturers rvill lre encouraged to furnish members with t'urrent technical and promotional information.

While the NBNIDA Millrvork Council u'ill operate as an entity of NBMIIA. it is planned to hold separate national meetings {or all members both in the United States and Canada who are interested in millwork. Each Council or section u'ill elect its own officers who will act as a liaison committee to the board of tlirectors.

The first formal meeting o{ the NBMDA Millwork Council will be held on November l3th at the Palmer House in Chicago, Illinois, immediately preceding the l2th Annual Convention.

Boise Coscode Corp. Plons Purchose of 5t. Helens Pulp & Poper

Crown Zellerbach Corp. has negotiated terms for the sale of its St. Helens Pulp & Paper Co. of St. Helens, Ore., to Boise Cascade Corp. for $30 million.

This was disclosed by Boise Cascade president Robert V' Hansberger, who reported that the proposal is now before the Federal Trade Commission for approval.

Crown Zellerbach acquired St. Helens in 1953 and its operations were merged into Zellerbach's in 1955.

In 1957, however, the FTC challenged the acquisition as a violation of the Clayton Antitrust Act and ordered Zellerbach to divest itself of all the Oregon firm's assets together with subse' quent improvements.

The ruling was upheld by the courts.

Hansberger, who was here to address the Security Analysts of San Francisco, said the purchase proposal excludes some timber lands and equipment.

He said Boise Cascade will finance the transaction through longterm borrowings from two insurance companies.

The Boise-based firm is a diversified manufacturer and distributor of paper products and has extensive timber holdings in the Pacific Northwest. Its sales last year were $175 million.

E. A. Nord Exponsion to Fill Six Acres of Woterwoy

E. A. Nord Company, located on the Everett, Washington waterfront, has announced plans for a five'year construction program which will double the manufacturing capacity and add about 250 employes to the payroll. Costs of the expansion will be in excess of $2,500,000.

Work already is under way n'ith the filling of an area to provide an additional six acres of land between the present plant and the inner waterway. The land will be taken from the bottom of the waterway in cooperation with the Army Corps of Engineers and deposited behind a rock retaining wall.

The added plant area, 85,000 square feet, will be in keeping with the present plant design. In addition, in the future a substantial dry kiln expansion is scheduled, along with a new planing mill and a new cutting department, incorporating new id'eas developed by the Nord Company' New door machinery and equip' ment will be added over the five-year period.

The Economic lmporlonce of Timber in the U.S.

Above five percent of the Nation's gross national product and employment originate in timber-based economic activities, according to a report, The Economic Importance ol Timber in the United Sloles, released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Other data in the report show that timber increases in value nearly 25 times between the stump and delivery of finished products to final consumers.

On the average, to each dollar's worth of stumpage cut about another $1.50 is added in harvesting, $3.85 in primary manufacturing, $5.45 in secondary manufacturing, fi7.60 in construction, and $5.35 in transportation and marketing. This means that $l out of every $18 of the gross national product originates in timber-based activities.

The $l out of every $IB was determined this way. In 1958, the gross national product was $444.5 billion. Of this total, 5,6 per cent, or, $24.8 billion, originated {rom timber-based activities. Figured mathematically, ($aa+.S divided by $24.8), the ratio would be $I to $18.

Employment attributed to timber in all timber-based activities amounts to about the equivalent of 3.3 million people. This means that one person out of every 20 employed is engaged in some kind of timber-based economic activity, the report says.

Other findings show that the value of timber and related prod' ucts harvested equals about a seventh the value of all farm crops harvested; is about equal the value of wheat and about 40 percent greater than the value of cotton harvested. Corn is the only farm crop that exceeds timber in harvest value, according to the report.

Copies (Miscellaneous Publication 94I )may be obtained from Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20250.

AUBURN IUMBER

(Continucd lrom Page 19)

trical work and painting are subcontracted.

The prefab plant, or we should sey plants, are impressive. One plant concentrates on wall panels and floor systems. Another planl located across the SP tracks from the yard, specializes in roof truss€s. A third plant manufactures prehung door units. Everything is streamlined wherever possible. All nailing is done with air guns-even out on the job thanks to portable air compressors. Prefab trusses (plate and roller method) roll through the truss machine at a startling rate. Trusses are shipped in half sections, allowing easier handling and delivery, and are joined on the job by carpenter crews.

And the delivery end is smooth too. On a Chalet model where the foundation is in, the first load goes out early in the morning. This load will consist of all the first floor walls and partitions, and plywood for floor system. A few hours later the second truck arrives at the job carrying all the second floor wall panels and floor panels for the second floor. Early in the afternoon the third and final truck pulls up to the job loaded with all the trusses and plywood roof sheathing.

Average erection time? Eight hours from the time the first floor panel goes down to the slam of the front door! But that's just where the fun begins. We've all heard the phrase "control the sale", and that's just what Auburn Lumber does-right down to the ap' pliances and the drawer pulls on the cabinets.

The Alco Home Financing Plan will lend up to $7500. on a l0 year Chalet package. Only requirement is that the owner's lot must be free and clear. Plan ofrers LN/o financing even on property which is on long term government lease.

Auburn Lumber has experienced a valuable lesson in the power of advertising too. Thousands of people went through the model at the State Fair last year, and since then additional models have been built on Highway 50 in Auburn, another at Tahoe City (north end of Lake Tahoe), and still another at the south end of Tahoe. Regular consistent spreads in SUNSET magazine did the rest. Thousands of people wrote in for literature and thousands more have visited the models which are used as sales offices during the building months.

Ask any builder. It's pretty darned hard to sell a house without a model home these days. And we think Auburn Lumber has the right idea. Put the model out where everyone can see it instead of back in the yard where only your customers will see it.

Frankly, with their setup and the second home market continuing stronger than ever, it's our guess we'll find Auburn Lumber holding "two grizzly bears" by their tails when we stop by next year.

Simpson Timber Compony Announces $2t Million Exponsion

Simpson Timber Company has outlined plans for a $21 million plant expansion and improvement program in its Washington, Oregon and California forest products operations.

C. H. Bacono Jr., President, announced $lO million is being spent on new construction and modernization this year and that another $II million will be invested in Simpson's lumber, plywood, chemical and wood fiber production in 1964-66.

"Our investments in modernizing forest properties on the West Coast reflect confidence in the future of wood products and in our ability to compete for domestic and international markets," Bacon said. "Our plants are supplied with raw materials from 600,000 acres under modern forest management and supported by research scientists and engineers at our research laboratory in Bellevue."

The privately-owned Simpsbn Company was founded by Sol G. Simpson in Mason County, Washington, in 1890. It operates 2l plants employing 5,000 people in 12 communities in three states.

Bacon said the Comnany's emphasis on modernized production will result in the closing of its Portland Plylock plywood plant on August 31. This oldest plant in the softwood plywood industry was built in 1905 and has been operated by Simpson since its 1956 acquisition of the M and M Wood Working Company.

Bacon explained the outrnoded Portland plywood operation no longer meets the economic requirements of the highly-competitive plywood trade.

Most of the S10,000,000 being invested this year is for complete dry lumber manufacturing plant facilities, and complete new veneer processing facilities at Shelton, Washington, and expanded plywood production capacity at Klamath and Eureka, California.

Lumber and veneer plants under construction in Shelton will form one of the largest all-wood manufacturing concentrations in the United States. One plant covers 512 acres and extends one quarter mile. Simpson created 15 acres of waterfront fill to provide space for its new plants and warehouses. Every building features plywood, sawed timbers and laminated beams.

Also on the Company's 1964 construction schedule are plywood processing improvements at Albany, Lyons and Idanha, Oregon, and at Eureka and Klamath" California. Chemical division expansion is planned at Portland and the Company is researching new products and processes for several plants.

O The public recognizes the forests as the source of many useful products.

These are some of the findines of a new nationwide public opinion ,rru.y made for the forest industry by Opinion Research Corp., Princeton, N.J.

The survey shows the forest products industry is operating in a public opinion climate more favorable than it was in 1956.

Every few years, the industry's forestry education and public relations associationo American Forest Products Industries. buvs a scientific survey of public attitudes and opinions on questions related mostly to forest management. In this way, AFPI, as it is known throughout the industry, is able to chart its course to tell effectively the story that industry is practicing good forestry, sa{eguarding the forest resource, and helping to meet the public's growing needs for wood, recreation. water.

wildlife and soil conservation.

The American people, according to the survey, are very much interested in the availability of forest industry lands {or public recreation. More than 90 percent of industrial timberlands in the nation are now used for recreation of various types. But only one out of four knows that most lumber and pulp and paper companies make their lands available to the public for recreation. There has been some increase, however, in the public's awareness of this during the past six years.

A substantial majority of the people say they would be willing to pay for recreational use of forest lands owned by lumber and pulp-paper companies. People are a little more willing to pay farmers for similar use of their woodlands. They are less willing to pay {or use of government lands.

The term "multiple use" in relation to management of timberlands for several benefits is known to only a small proPortion of the people, and understood by still fewer. But, when the concept is explained, most people favor it.

Though people generally endorse the multiple use concept, there is far from unanimous agreement that logging as practiced today is actually beneficial to wild' life and to the water resource. But experts agree that the forest managed for repeated

timber crops isa favorable habitat for most animals and birds; also that the humus floor of the managed forest helps to stabilize stream flow and underground water supplies.

The survey shows a tendency by the public toward the idea that logging as practiced today makes forests more desirable for recreation.

A 'owilderness bill" now pending before Congress has created many heated debates among conservationists and others. Yet Opinion Research Corp. found that only 4 percent of the American people had ever heard or read anything about "the Wilderness Act or Wilderness Bill," or "legislation concerning wilderness areas." Six

percent said they have "heard but can't recall anything specific."

A major challenge that confronts the forest products industry is to convince more people that the country's forest resource is not being depleted. The Timber Resource Review, a nationwide forest inventory made by the U.S. Forest Service in 1952, reported that wood in' all trees five inches and over in diameter was growing 32 percent faster than it was being cut, and that sawtimber growth and cut were almost in balance, Forest surveys made by the Forest Service in 2I states since 1952 show growth of both growing stock and sawtimber in most of the states surveyed to be well in excess of the cut.

Yet, more than half of the public continues to believe that the forests are being cut faster than they are being replaced.

Nearly half of the people are confident that the ,industry will be able to meet the nation's demand for wood, based on an anticipated population increase of 40 mil, lion by 1975. Only 37 percent of the people feel there will be a wood shortage by that time. Of those who feel the industry will meet wood demands, most said it was because the companies practice conservation and reforestation.

More people are aware of Tree Farms than 10 years ago. A slightly greater number than a decade ago knows that the forest (Continued on Page 83)

Perry International was established in L9M fior the purpose of producing and distributing flush doors. It has grown dur. ing the past 16 years from l0 employees to more than 125 and in addition to its prime manufacturing facilities the firm is now a major importer of hardwood sking as well as distributor of all species of plywood both foreign and domestic.

In serving national & international markets the building material firm deals through jobbers only. In the California and Southwest area they conduct their sales at the wholesale level to dealers, jobbers and industrialists. The raw materials are completely processed, finished and trimmed before shipments are made for end-product use. Prefinished products are also offered and this feature will be expanded under the direction and guidance of Clarence I. Zornes. Zornes has had 20 years experience in door production and engineering. For the past 19 years he has been with several leadine concerns in this phase of the wood reminufacturing business. Jack Swift, door coordinator, has been with Perry for 16 years and is favorably known throughout this area. Art Betts, auditor, is a six-year veteran and

Julius Perry has handled the plant personnel.

The plywood division, which occupies one of the large warehouses at the new location, is managed by Fred Dinkin, who brings a world of experience to this everexpanding organization. He is assisted by Bill Perel. Jim Eisenhart is manaser of all warehouses, including the Door- Skin department of both domestic and imported species. Vic Purcell is in corrplete charge of the door division, including production and hot press Merry-Go-Round operations.

It requires 33 units of mobile equipment to keep this modern plant operating at full capacity and this does not include the dozen remanufacturing machines producing on two shifts now that adjustments are back to normal.

"Tfith the steady growth of the local and eastern markets we anticipate a firm marketing condition for all our various and diversified building materials," said Harry Perry. "Sales are on the upwald trend and our efforts will be directed to quality and customer satisfaction,tt he continued.

Future plans call for expansion of the sales department for both local and national distribution and it is anticipated that the years ahead will be as enioyable as the 16 years that have already passed into memory.

His associates estimated he has graded 100 million feet, or about 3,000 carloads, in his lifetime. That's enough for 10,000 homes.

Stewart was the dean of the Western Pine Staff of 30 inspectors who travel constantly to check on and maintain the industry's grade standards.

New CHIP Consumer Kits Being Distributed

New CHIP Consumer Kits are being distributed to retail lumber dealers," states Jjm Williams, CHIP National manager. lllfanufacturer response has been good, and it's now a matter of kit production."

The Kits are being introduced in the Southern California area before going nationwide. They carry dealer's home im-

provement pitches as well as the manufacturers' and dealers' yard information, to be featured on a card in the front folder along with imprinted consumer booklets.

"This is another stride to combat the 'suede shoe' approach, and help the customer make an intelligent decision," says Williams.

New Mosonite Color Booklet

Ideas on creating decorative exeitement while transforming ordinary walls into usable space are offered in a new full-color booklet, o'Peg-Board Ideas from Masonite."

An excellent selling tool for lumber and building materials dealers, the booklet illustrates how factory-finished Presto PegBoard, with its tic-tac-toe perforation, can add to or set decorative schemes as well as provide working walls anywhere in the home or office.

Imaginative uses of regular Peg-Board in closets, workshops, nurseries, sewing centers, kitchens and other areas also are illustrated. Both the new Delrin plastic fixtures and regular metal fixtures are shown.

The boo,klet is designed for use by deal. ers in selling home modernization projects, and for display racks and direct mail. C,opies can be obtained either from Masonite sales representatives, or write the Masonite Home Service Bureau. 29 N. Wacker

Violet Neql Elected Hoo-Hoo-Ette President

A joint meeting of the incoming and outgoing officers of Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club No. I was held at the home of Violet Neal, President, August 3rd to turn over the records to the new officers. New officers had been elected earlier.

Anne Murray, founder of the Hoo-HooEttes, installed the new officers of Club No. I for the y,ear 1963-64 at an earlier meeting this summer. New club officers are: Violet Neal, President; Dorothy Simons, Ist Vice-President; Dian Darnold, 2nd Vice-President; Hazel Tandy, 3rd Vice. President ; Peggy Mottola, Secretary ; Estelle Seemayer, Treasurer; Cuma Chapman, Membership; Emogene Thomas, Publicity;

Peggy Anderson, Initiation.

Guest of honor at the installation was Anna Maria Esparza who was awarded the scholarship {or the second year. Said Anne Murray, ooShe is a lovely girl and sincere student, and we feel she is most worthy of our support and good wishes."

A festive note was added by PacifrcN{adison Lumber Company who gave orchid corsages for the officers and a beautiful floral centerpiece for the installation.

In lieu of a Summer Party this year, the club held a Fashion Show August 19 in Hollywood.

The drawing for the Liquor Rafre was held at that time, and was a financial success.

The first rneeting of the new club year

problems. This is also true of other manufacturers who bny the lumber grades, either green or dry, to process into mouldings and other finished millwork items. We are all aware of the increased cost of stumpage today. This is caused by the limited amount of available timber and the mills having to bid on the stumpage; this can only result in higher stumpage prices. We have experienced a continued increase in wages along with our operating costs. These conditions make a defi-

nite hardship on the manufacturer, but seem to be beyond his control. The above increases leave the operator with only one place to look for relief of his problem and that is to show an increase in the price of his products, whether it be in lumber or from the sale of his finished mouldings, millwork and other items.

Should the lumber industry remain the only business to continue to market their products below the level of 1959 average?

In looking back I would say that the present day pine lineal moulding prices are some l5/o under what the peak price was l0 years ago. This fact, along with the present increased costs to make the finished

product, does not make for sound business and makes it unfavorable for a business to survive.

We often hear of the substitutes which are hurting the lumber business-the sound lumber business we once enjoyed. I do not feel that the lumber substitutes are entirely responsible for the unfavorable con. ditions in the lumber industry today. I feel that over-production has also caused a lot of present-day problems.

With the increase in population and a decrease in lumber production and inventories, we can expect some improvement in prices in the period that lies ahead. I am sure that we all, as manufacturers, are

striving to produce the very best finished product that has ever been made in our history. I am further convinced that the lumbermen of today are a strong and capable group of individuals and that they have the know-how to solve their presentday problems and will work toward a better future for the lumber industry.

I am sure that all lumbermen appreciate the problems of the retailers, millwork jobbers and the wholesalers and that they will be ready at all times to work with them towards unity in the industry. I feel that I can speak for all lumbermen when I say that I like being associated with this sreat industrv and the manv fine

individuals who control its future. My many friends and acquaintances are lumbermen, either manufacturers, retailers, jobbers or wholesalers.

I am inclined to feel that the lumber manufacturers are going to see an improved demand for their pine production. I hope I am correct in feeling the next 60 days will start the improvement for the pine market. The luture can be bright and prosperous for us all as I do not know of any finished product that has the finish, the beauty and warmth of lumber, and I do not know of any industry that has

Softwood lumber prices will show a steady increase in the next several years according to an economic report on softwood lumher issued recently by Bank of America. San Francisco.

In a special review and outlook compiled by the bank's Economics l)epartment. {our general {actors are listed as being responsi' ble for a probable long-tcrm increase in log and lumber prices in the West.

First, says the report, stumpage cost will show a probable rise as the stands of readily accessible, merchantable timber are re' duced. Also, as the readily accessible stands are reduced, logging costs will increase because of the necessity of cutting in more re' mote and difficult areas. and of taking smaller logs.

Other factors listed include a probable rise in manufacturing and distribution costs, and a rise in pulp and paper consumption

which will contribute to increased buying of stumpage by that industry.

The report also forecasts that more timber will be cut in the future from eovernment-owned stands. About two'thirds oI commercial foresi land in the West is government-owned, it says, but cuts from these areas in recent years have been rvell below the potential sustained-yield maximum.

Although negotiations with Canada have increased recently, British Columbia imports will continue to increase over the next twenty years. Alaskan timber, however, will be consumed largely for pulp and paper manufacture.

Lumber used for residential construction, including additions, replacements and alterations, probably will increase. Use of timber in non-residential construction, however, probably will decrease, the report predicts.

ADD.A-ROOM PROGRAM

(Continued from. Page 42) that many families don't want to move from their neighborhoods or start paying new, stiffer mortgages. With the new building techniques being developed, adding space to a house is much less costly and inconvenient.

Many home modernizers have organized their businesses along the lines of a o'onestop" remodeling contract center to eliminate the many complexities involved. And home-owners know they can work on their own to get bids to piovide construction, plumbing and wiring, and financing and design help. The Add-a-room program fits the "one-stop" plan by providing everything to the dealer in one package.

In Tacoma, Wash.. B. L. Vauehan of Vaughan's Pacific Avenue Lumber, says he feels the Add-a-room program is definitely on the right track.

ool've been in business for many years and this is one of the better campaigns. It excites the home-owner because it plants a seed in his mind that perhaps he hadn't given thought to before. In other words, the program makes it easy for us to show people they can remodel without too much money and that they can add space to a house they might have thought was impossible to remodel."

Dealers and remodelers often find it difficult to explain to a prospective customer just what his house will look like with a room addition and where it will fit in.

The home modernizer kit supplied by DFPA includes sample floor plans and many renderings that reveal how almost any house will look with an extra room attached.

At least one dealer is findine these selling aids helptul. Bob Blandford of Bob Blandford Lumber in Grand Rapids, Mich., says he shows them to each prospective

customer, "They're good, clean plans and they show exactly what goes into a room addition and how it can fit the floor plan of the buyer's own house."

The plywood association plans to continue vigorous promotion of the program and to ofier sales training courses to remodeling salesmen in the next year.

Dealers interested in participating in the Add-a-room program can obtain a Modernizer's kit and begin receiving sales leads by sending $I0 to the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma 2, Washington.

About one person in four says he has seen the Tree Farm symbol, now displayed on more than 26,000 certified Tree Farms throughout the nation.

There is a widespread lack of knowledge and confusion about forest land ownership. Although the governments-federal, state and localown 33 percent (176 million acres) of all commercial forest

Lumber

Iand in the country, the survey shows only three out of five people are alvare that the governments own any forest land at all. And only a sixth of the public is aware that individual owncrs hold thc largest proportion of the rvoodland. Forest industries own only 12 percent of the commercial timberland.

A trend is noted in the declining support for more government ownership of woodland.

A growing public trend against government regulation of industry, revealed in surveys made of several other major industries in recent months, also is borne out in the survey of the forest industry.

The public's overall impression of the lumber and the pulp-paper industries is more favorable today than it was in 1952 and 1956. In six years the proportion of people who say their general impression of the lumber and pulp-paper industries is favorable has increascd l3 percent. There has been a significant decline in the number of people who hold critical attitudes toward these industries.

Sampling public opinion is essential in AFPI's work. Direction and emphasis in the organization's first programs were based on a nationwide public opinion survey in 1941. Since that time there have been surveys in 1952, 1956 and 1962, all

AFPI is now getting the results of the latest survey out to the industry. The organization maintains grass-roots committees in 48 states, and a whole round of meetings to review the research findings is now in swing. From the meetings will come local action to accent the favorable points of the survey and to correct some false impressions the survey revealed.

The forest industries know their programs-among them the American Tree Farm System, Keep American Green and Busy Acres-are solid, progressive and productive. Today the forests are growing wood faster than we are using it and losing it to fire, insects and diseases. Forest fire losses have been reduced greatly in the past 20 years. But, despite the tremendous forward strides in American forestry since the birth of the Tree Farm movement and the enactment of capital gains tax treatment on timber sales, industry finds some segments of the public poorly informed as to what the industry

has accomplished in forest management. As long as trees must be cut down and taken away to the mill, there will be emotional disturbance among those who have not learned that managed forests yield perpetual timber crops, and with them the other values of the woodlands. Today the IJ.S. Forest Service appraises industrial forests of the Urrited States as amons the best-managed in the world

The extent to which people are in possession of key facts regarding forests and forestry programs has a significant relationship to their attitudes. The better informed are more favorably inclined toward the industry, its policies and programs.

Probably one of the chief deterrents to a broader public appreciation of the accomplishments o{ private industry is the widespread lack of knowledge and the large amount of misinformation people have about the forests and forestry activities.

The new survey shows the public is considerably more inclined to think of forest land in terms of the economic benefits it

affords-jobs, payrolls, products-than in terms of social values-such as recreation and scenery.

FHA Revision Eliminotes Bridging

Bridging in floor systems may be omitted under certain conditions, according to a new revision by the Federal Housing Authority. The action is a result of research by &e National Association of Home Builders.

The revision letter, sent to all field offices in the nation, states that bridging may be omitted for clear spans of 15 feet or less when tongue and groove wood strip flooring is installed at right arrgles to joists over plywood or wood subflooring.

TRIANGTE LUMBER CO.

WHOI.ESALE DISTRIBUTORS

Bridging can also be eliminated with resilient finish flooring installed over plywood underlayment and a plywood or wood subfloor. In other words, with resilient flooring, bridging can be eliminated provided plywood underlayment is used.

The FHA office in Washington says the action to omit bridging in these cases was taken because tests indicate bridging contributes little to the total strength of the floor system compared with the strength contributed by the subfloor and finish floor at right angles to joists.

FHA says a plywood underlayment over a subfloor eliminates the need for bridging because it ooprovides for considerable transfer of concentrated loads to adjacent joists."

While the new rulings indicate obvious savings in cost and labor, the Douglas Fir Plywood Association urges builders to use proper grade and type of plywood for underlayment applications. The plywood industry produces a special minimum-cost panel developed specifically to function as a substrato for resilient flooring. This

special panel bears the DFPA gradetrademark stamp and the words "Underlayment Grade."

If the Underlayment grade panel is unavailable, any sanded grade of Exteriortype plywood can be substituted. The DFPA does not recommend ordinary Interior-type panels with D.grade veneer.

Both Underlayment grade plyrvood and any sanded grade of Exterior-type plywood require C-grade or better inner plies which can withstand the highly concentrated loads imposed by spike heels on women's shoes and furniture casters.

These inner ply characteristics resist puncture when resilient flooring is applied

over plywood underlayment. The DFPA special 2-4-I panel, a combined subfloorunderlayment panel, also has this built-in puncture resistance.

Marvin Wax, one of the West Coast's top illustrators, has been appointed art director for Lumbermen's Ad Mat Service according to Jack Doscher, owner of the servic.e.

"This marks the first real change in our weekly service in the past six years" said Doscher. "Retail advertising is becoming a lot more sophisticated, and ads fight harder for recognition than ever before. Wax brings 15 years of creative experience in designing eye-catching ads. His use of humorous characters in need of modernization throws a whole new and refreshine light on lumber dealer advertising, and is i distinct departure from the usual manufacturer type of advertising mats."

Doscher sells his weekly service on a franchise basis to only one dealer per area,

and without contract for $45 per quart€r. "The ads either pay ofi, and the dealer renews every three months, or no deal" says Doscher, 'oSix years of success attests to the value of the service, but the appointme.nt of Marvin Wax will double its value." Interested dealers may write: Lumbermen's Ad Mat Service, Box 461, Los Altos, California.

5. Ross Scolt Relires

S. Ross Scott concludes 43 vears in the lumber business and with International Paper's Long-Bell Division, when he retires September 30.

It was October. 1920 when he first went to work for Long-Bell as a bookkeeper in the Weed, Calif. plant office.

Next year he moved into the sales end of the business on the lumber sales desk at Weed, and started a sales career which was to last more than 40 years.

In l94l he transferred to the longview office where he was in charge of the West Coast Iumber sales desk. Following the war, in 194'6, he went on the road as outside salesman for southwest Washington and all of Oregon.

Ross is a native of Oregon, born and raised in Oregon City. He served during World War I in the Air Corps, with a year and a half in France.

N.t.M.A. VIEWPOINT

(Continued, lrorn Page 6)

Approval of the new lumber sizes was voted by the ALS Committee at its May, 1963 meeting. Between now and the end of 1963, the U. S. Department of Commerce will decide on approving the new size standards. Its decision will rely heavily on the results of a poll of its 'oacceptor list"-lumber producers, retailerg wholesalers, architects, contractors, builders and others who manufacture distribute, use or work with wood.

When accepted by the Commerce Department, the new sizes for softwood lumber will be applicable everywhere in the United States.

New, understandable and reliable lumber size standards have been requested and endorsed by major wood consumers for many years-and for a variety of reasons.

Many industry customers are confused by the present size system. Lumber with a moisture content of 30 per cent or more (unseasoned), and lumber with a moisture content of 19 per cent or less (seasoned), are presently surfaced to the same dimensions at the mill. Consequently, as unseasoned lumber shrinks in transit or shortly after being nailed in place, the two end up at difierent sizes by the time they see service as studs, joists, rafters and other structural members.

The new size system will require seasoned and unseasoned lumber to be surfaced, at the mill, to slightly difierent sizes

(Continued lrom Page 6) tailers and wholesalers, as well as problems of the producer.

We further insist that unseasoned lumber, historically used in the construction of home and apartment buiding in California, is put in serious jeopardy by an unwarranted contention on the part of the NLMA in favor of Kiln Dried Lumber. The proponents of this scheme claim to be motivated by the desire to enhance the use of lumber. We see no way whereby confusion in the market place and a discrediting of a proven product can accomplish that goal. Two, and even three sizes for the same nominal dimension is NOT simplification.

Southern California does not employ oofactory built" home construction practices. Where such practices are employed the quantity of lumber consumed declines. California's home building is a strong, virile, expanding market for lumber. Irresponsible tinkering with present marketing practices could readily disrupt and destroy our sources of supply, our building methods, our marketing practices and our relationships with local building codes and officials.

We see in the ALS Committee o'Standardization" resolution a calculated move by a few large producers to capture a larger share of the national lumber market-and we fear for our survival if our rnany small mill sources are forced out of business.

(Cantinued, on Page 90)

w.t.M.A. VIEWPOINT

(Continued lrom Page 6)

est men in government agree, that the American Lumber Standards Committee as it is now constituted does not represent all echelons of our industry. Consequently, Secretary of Commerce Hodges should exercise his legal and administrative right to disband the present committee and appoint a new one, immediately, to provide a forum for all segments of the wood using industry.

'oWhen that is done, then a fresh look should be taken at present standards; new research teams should evaluate, on a wholly objectioe plnne,how strong, durable, transportable, and usable our'Western soltwood products are now as contrasted with how they might be manufactured and used better after various changes in size or moisture content,

"Our W.L.M.A. members have begun writing to their Congressmen and to Secretary Hodges in protest over the arbitrary and unpublicized way in which A.L.S. changes have been pushed by a small but determined group in the W'est. This is a matter which must be discussed openly, with conclusions reached openly, and by a representative body. We do not believe that the Administration or the Pacific Northwestos delegation to Congress will 'buy' this 'package' when they know the story behind its origin. We aim to help them unravel that story, then set about to rectify the inequities it could cause . irreparable inequities if the present proposal ever becomes the industry standard."

California builds excellent homes for all classes of home buyers. It uses unseasoned lumber and employs many thousands of men. This procedure can be destroyed by a narrowly directed move toward inferior o'factory built" homes whose component parts include less t'lumber" and more of the products produced by only a few large producers. The simple matter of boards is an excellent case in point. Present span tables permit use of 3/n" resawn boards made from 2 x 6 Utility. These boards cannot be produced from the proposed new size of lYz" dimension lumber. What then is the rnill to do with the 2 x 6 Utilitv it produces? California's BOARD markei exceeds 300 million board feet annually. The proponents of the ALS Committee proposal include those manufacturers that produce plywood. which would have to be used instead of boards.

Mr. Secretary, we have fought against a biased ALS Committee. Your office is our final hope for equality and consideration. W'e sincerely hope you will see fit to:

l. Reject the ALS Committee recommendation.

2. Dissolve the present ALS Committee.

3. Appoint a more representative Committee to insure equitable representation for the entire Industry.

4. Direct restudy of the "Standardiza. tion" question by the new Committee.

'We cannot ask all this of you, and then stand aside. We are ready and willing to join in any effort to reconcile industry difierences. Progress in our Industry is our working goal and we are prepared to devote time and effort thereto.

Sincerely,

N.LM.A. VIEWPOINT

(Continueil lrorn Page 89) so that each will be-as nearly as possible--the same size in service.

To further dispel the confusion, the proposed new size standards require lumber, surfaced at a moisture content hisher than 19 per cent, to be identified-inlayman's language-as to size and quality. it *itt be assumed that any lumber, not properly designated as dry, was surfaced at the unseasoned condition.

Minimum dressed sizes for nominal land 2.inch unseasoned, lumber are not stipulated in the proposed new standard. Instead, they are to be determined on the basis of the shrinkage which occurs in seasoning to the 15 per cent average mois. ture condition.

Lack of uniformity in sizes has, in the opinion of most construction authorities, put lumber at a serious disadvantaee in the building industry.

How Consumers Will Benefit

l. Standard lumber sizes. based on a specified moisture content will provide a better and more reliable product. Seasoned and unseasoned lumber sizes. related to this specific base, means guaranteed sizes under a clear-cut and enforceable

standard which will provide predictable in-service dimensions for all light-framing lumber.

2. With the ready identification for all lumber dressed to standard size after seasoning, the consumer will know what he is buying and using.

3. New dimensions for dry and unseasoned lumber will result in precisely engineered dimension lumber, having efficient and easily understood structural values.

4. Engineering calculations, for using the new sizes, will reflect the increased strength and stiffness, due to seasoning, which permit higher stresses for the lumber and its fastenings.

5. The proposed size standard will stimulate the output of grade-marked lumber, making it more truly descriptive of quality, and giving the consumer a product of known performance.

The designer can plan with precision and close tolerances demanded by today's modular units for component construction.

The specifier, using the new standards, can be specific with the assurance that lumber will be as specified.

The builder will know and understand exactly what he orders and can rely on getting it.

The homeowner will benefit from the purchase of a better home, constructed of

lumber of recognized quality, performance and lower cost.

The building code official will have a clearer, faster and more reliable means of identifying the grade, specieg size and quality of light-framing lumber. His inspections will be simplified, and his code enforcement strengthened.

The lumber manufacturer and the distributor will naturally benefit from a greatly improved public conception o{ lumber as a modern building material, which, finally understood, can be bought and used with confidence . and economy.

The new sizes will result in a significant savings in shipping charges-another benefit to be shared with the consumer.

A new 'oengineered" size, for sheathing and paneling boards, will cut shipping costs and make these items easier to handle and install.

The beneficial new lumber size standards are in the proposal stage only. They can become official only by convincing the U. S. Department of Commerce that they are wanted by an overwhelming majority of consumers, specifiers, producers and dis" tributors of lumber.

We urge you to ilo this by writing n: U. S. Department of Commerce, Commodity Standards Division, Washington 25. D. C.

Reduclion in lnsect Losses

A single selective harvest of the trees most susceptible to bark-beetle attack can reduce insect-caused damage in ponderosa pine forests for 22 years and may be efiective in reducing losses for 50 years, according to a new research report from the U.S. Forest Service experiment station in Berkeley.

The report, by station entomologists Boyd E. Wickman and Charles B. Eaton, is Technical Paper Number 66, "The effects of Sanitation-Salvage Cutting on InsectCaused Pine Mortality at Blacks Mountain Experimental Forest, 1938-59."

'oThe report of these studies is particularly timely during this epidemic year of bark-beetle losses in California, "Dr. Keith Arnold, station director, said in announcing the report. o'The authors show not only that a method of timber cutting based on research can reduce losses substantially in normal years but also that the benefits will carry through epidemic years.'n

Wickman and Eaton summarize results of a study in which individual trees were selected for logging on the basis of their vigor-leaf color, branch form, and other signs of tree health. The idea being testpd

was that since bark beetles prefer to attack weekened trees, logging susceptible trees before beetles got to them would keep bark beetles from increasing. This method, now widely practiced in ponderosa pine forests, is known as sanitation-salvage logging.

On some parts of the experimental forest, in Lassen County, the most susceptible trees were harvested. On other parts, no cutting was done. Over the 22-year period, beetles killed four times as much timber in the uncut stand as in the selectively logged stands.

The reduction in insect losses was largest during the third year after sanitation-salvage logging, when tree mortality dropped 94 percent below that in uncut areas. There. after the effects of cutting declined, but by the twenty-second year insect-caused losses in logged stands were only 4,0 percent oI those in uncut areas. Even during bark beetle epidemics, the .beetles caused less damage on logged areas. Wickman and Eaton estimate from data given in the report that it will take about 50 years after time of logging for tree killing to reach the same levels in cut and uncut timber.

Copies of the reports are available from Pacific Southwest Forest and Ranse Experiment Station, P.O. Box 245, Berk--eley l, California.

Hedlund Lumber Uses Experimental RR Cqr

Southern Pacific 561526, the experimental flat car pictured here, was loaded by Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Anderson, Calif., with lumber for the account of Hedlund Lumber Sales of Sacramento.

The S-P, in an efiort to furnish better equipment for their lumber shippers loading with lift trucks and to develop greater efficiency in packaged lumber, has equipped two 53'6"-J0 ton flat cars, with which they are experimenting. These cars have 9 steel bunks. which can be moved from one stack pocket to another in order to fit packages of various lengths. The bunks have adjustable guide rails to accommodate loads of difierent widths and these also avoid side movement of lumber.

Each car is equipped with twelve 3/s" cables 36' in length with corner protectors to fit over packages. Cables are tensioned with ratchets, which are alternated on each side of car to avoid pulling load to either side.

These special flats avoid expense and labor of fabricating and nailing wooden floor bearing pieces to deck of car, according to the S-P. In the case of banded floating loads, avoid banding expense, wooden floor bearing pieces as well as over

I00 lineal feet of 2x4" lumber for guide rails.

In the case of stack loads, it saves at least 18 car stacks, 9 floor bearing pieces as well as other lumber for tie boards and banding material or wire.

It is only natural to assume both the shipper as well as the carrier would benefit mutually in using this type of car, which would make the railroad even more competitive with other means of transportation.

Hedlund Lumber Sales, Sacramento, made use of this experimental RR car in a recent shipment. Loading and unloading was speeded considerably. (L-R) Herb Brown, California Sales manager and Sam Baskins, Kimberly-CIark.
