Kitchen Clinic ls Big Hit

A successful Kitchen Remodeling Clinic which attracted about 100 kitchen prospects was conducted recently in Los Angeles under the joint sponsorship of three companies: the Long-Bell Division of International Paper Co., manufacturer of Luxuria kitchen cabinets; Gildon Distributors, Long-Bell kitchen cabinet distributor in Los Angeles and the Southern California Gas ComPany. The clinic featured two kitchen remodeline authorities from the Southern California Gas Company-Phil Lowitz, kitchen designer, and Donna Barkdull, home modernization advisor.

Lowitz gave a 4S-minute presentation using color slides and covering every facet of kitchen remodeling.

Miss Barkdull ofiered individual assistance to those in attendance, counseling them on their kitchen remodeling problems.

The clinic was held on a Saturday morning in the Gildon warehouse in conjunction with a warehouse sale.

As a direct result of the clinic, one kitchen job was sold immediately and l0 prospects asked to have their kitchens measured.

Record Timber Sqle

In the largest timber ofiering ever made by the federal government, the Forest Service has announced plans to sell 8.75 billion board feet of Alaskan timber with a stumpage value of $25 million. The timber will be sold in a sinele lot at an oral auction late this year. The Forest Service will determine from sealed bids those qualified to take part in the auction. Ihe sale w-ill be advertised for the next three months.

The successful bidder will be required to establish a pulp mill as chie{ consumer of the timber. In addition, possibly 25 percent or more of the timber may be valuable for conversion into lumber, plywood or other non-fiber products, the Forest Service stated. Cutting period of the contract will be 50 years. The timber to be offered consists of mature and over-mature stands near Juneau, the capitol of Alaska.

From Progress to Discounf

Lucky Stores, Inc. recently announced that it has acquired an 8.5 acre site at the southeast corner o{ El Camino Real and Charter Street in Redwood City which includes the property of Progress Lumber Company. Lucky plans construction of a 90,000 sq, ft. Gemco department store which will include a supermarket, service station and parking for 550 cars. Officials o{ Merner-Progress, owners of another building material yard at Palo Alto, have not disclosed their plans for relocation oI the Redwood City outlet.

Sub-Committee OK's Lumber Sizes

The American Lumber Standards sub-committee on standards has unanimously agreed on a compromise recommendation for dry and green sizes and has urged that the full American Lumber Standards Committee, due to meet September 15, approve the sizes and that they should be submitted to the Commerce Department for promulgation as official industry standards.

The agreement, reached through compromise by all included, caps a battle that lasted for years and once threatened to split the industry and bring the government into the area of standardizing lumber sizes. Observers now seem confident that the end is in sight. They foresee industry-wide acceptance and an end to the intra-industry fracas.

The sub-committee's report read, 'oThe sub'committee recom' mends to the full ALS Committee the lollowins sizes based on l97o maximum moisture content:

Nominal: 5/8"

Dry: 5/V'

Green: ll/16"

Nominal:

Dry: 5-r/z'

Green: 5-5/8" with the provision that the 5/a allowance for pieces exceeding the L9/o maximrm moisture content be deleted and with the provision that appropriate equivalents for redwood and western red cedar be included."

"These sizes were also recommended to apply to thicknesses up to and including 4" nominal.

"The sub-committee recommended {urther that the dressed widths for finish items be those contained in the 1964 proposed revision of SPR-16-53, with the exception that the nominal 3", N', 14" and, 16" sizes be 2-9/16, 3-9,/16, l3|,1 and I5l4" respectively. This action was taken to provide the same dressed widths for both finish and dry dimension items."
