15 mills on the vuest coast. Georgia-Pacific's total timber holdings rank among the largest in North America.

This sale of 7l billion board feet of national forest timber is one of the two largest timber sales ever made by the government. The timber is situated in an area of about 500,000 acres in the vicinity of Admiralty Island, Douglas Island and the end of Lynn Canal in southeast Alaska. The stand will produce 160 million feet of logs per year on a perpetual basis. The timber commences about a mile from Juneau, capital of Alaska, and the contract terms contemplate construction of a pulp mill by July 1, 1961. at a proposed site in the vicinity.

According to Forest Service spokesmen, the terms urrder which the award rvas offered allowed Georgia-Pacific Alaska Co. until July 1, 1958, to qualify for final award when construction plans and firm arrangements for the financing of the construction rvill be completed.

Harbor Plywood Corporation of California, San Francisco, and the St. Regis Paper Co., manufacturers of Panelyte, were co-hosts for a dinner party at the Fairmont hotel in San Francisco, August 16, which was attended by nearly 100 people connected with the fabricating industry in Northern California. Thirty-seven fabricating firms were represented at the meeting, which was devoted to demonstrations and a thorough explanation of post forming plastic sink tops.

The original idea of post forming was developed on the west coast and has met with considerable success in the east. The St. Regis Paper Co., manufacturers of Panelyte-a plastic sink top material-has been conducting a nationwide campaign to acquaint the various fabricating firms throughout the country with the new field of post forming.

The program held at the Fairmont was mc'd by Mal Hill, manager of Harbor Plvwood Corp. of California at San Francisco, and featured talks by Ed Carow, director of distributor sales, St. Regis Paper Co., and Paul Curry, also of St. Regis. Carow gave the group a brief outline of the history of St. Regis Paper Co., and Curry, a development engineer, delivered a talk and demonstration of various post forming techniques.

Harbor Plywood Corp. of California, west coast distributors for Panelyte, maintains Panelyte sub-distributors at Eureka, Chico, Sacramento, Lodi, Modesto and Reno. Brian Thompson of Harbor Plywood is manager of the Panelyte division, and works closely with Ernie Larson, west coast factory representative for the St. Regis Paper Co.

Scln Frclncisco Hoo-Hoo to Stoge Red-blooded Roundup October 7

Once again, time draws near for that big "evening out," for which all red-blooded Northern California lumbermen long look forward. San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club 9's annual Roundup, this year to be held in San Francisco's beautiful Surf Club, will take place Friday, October 7.

Hugh Pessner, general chairman of this year's Roundup, together with President Bovard Shibley and several of the board members, recently made a "trial run" out at the Surf Club and found the place to be perfect in every respect in addition to being completely soundproofed and sturdily constructed to withstand even a blast such as the Roundup.

The Surf Club was formerly the well-known "Edgewater- at-the-Beach," a nite-spot long famous for its big band entertainment. The club has since been sold to the Clifi Flouse interests, and is now being leased out for big parties only. Therefore, the San Francisco Hoo-Hoo will have the place all to themselves.

Fred Buckley and Hac Collins, who are in charge of the vittles, state that the banquet will be prepared by Cliff House chefs right in the Surf Club's huge kitchen, which should insure the best feast yet in Roundup history.

As usual, the big event will get underway with a golf tournament at the Peninsula Golf & Country Club, in San Mateo. Fred Ziese, perennial golfer and Dubs, Ltd., president, is in charge of the tournament, which will start at approximately 11 :29 a.m. Attendance at last year's tournament neared the 1@ mark and, from all indications, this year's tournament will again be a record breaker. In addition to the regular prizes, the club's perpetual trophy will also be at stake. The trophy is now gracing Russ Fryburg's mantel as a result of his 64 low net card at last year's Roundup tournament.

That long Roundup evening will get going shortly after 6 p.-. with a "cocktail hour-and-a-ha1f." Roundup-goers will be pleased to find plenty of free parking area right in front of the Surf Club.

The menu for dinner will feature New York sirloin steaks, or sea food if desired, and that after-dinner "menu" is reported to be pretty medium-rare, too, according to Ed Dreessen and Jim Hennessy, who are in charge of the en-
