How Lumber looks

(Continued from Page 59) events were also reflected in unfilled orders for 104.019.000 feet of redwood on hand July 31, a much heavier order file than customary for the industry.

For the first seven months this year, production wafi 35,511,0m feet and shipments were 34,553,00O feet over 1954's first seven.

Douglas Fir Plywood Assn. reported for the week ended September 3: production, 87,778,000 feet; orders, 93,00G 000 feet. Orders climbed 9/o above the week ended August 27 and. 7/o above production.

Goqsl Counties Hoo-Hoo Hold Bcng-up Borbecue

As usual, the Coast Counties Hoo-Hoo Club's annual barbecue, which was held August 18 at the Salinas Golf & Country Club, proved to be a rare night indeed, and one of the best barbecues in the 114 Club's history. Jack Thornburg, Homer T. Hayward Lumber Company, was in charge of the meeting, ably assisted by Eddie Nielsen, chef supreme; "Spec" Lewter, bartender perfection, and Vince Moore, who emceed the annual event. Principal business following the "banquet" was the awarding of golf prizes.

Low gross for the meet was scored by Sherwood Causley, Homer T. Hayward Lumber Company, who walked off with the perpetual trophy and a golf bag. Ralph Lamon, Lamon Lumber Company, followed with low net, and was awarded golf shoes for his showing.

A golf sweater was given to the closest hole-in-one winner, which was Dick Merritt, a Winton Lumber Sales Co. representative. A "suprize" prize of a golf cart, given to the man with the most 5's on his tournament card, found a home with Jim Warren, Blue Diamond Corp.

Keith Davidson, Tynan Lumber Company, really powdered a ball on one tee shot, which registered the longest drive of the day-good for a 12 golf ball-prize. High gross (a rumored 120) was racked up by Don Gilbert, who won four golf hoods for all that swinging.

In addition, the Coast Counties club awarded a sport shirt for the highest score on the 16th hole, the shirt ending up on the back of Ken Billings, Seaside Lumber Company. Winner of the Blind Bogey was Craig Gaffney, Bonnington Lumber Comparty, who was awarded a sweater.

Nearly 100 lumbermen attended the barbecue, according to Ollie Lee, manager of the E. L. Bruce Co. Santa Clara warehouse, and president of the Coast Counties club.

Peter B. Kyne's Wife Dies

Mrs. Helene Catherine Kyne, wife of Peter B. Kyne, San Francisco, died in that city August 27 at the age of 69. The Kynes had been married 45 years. Mr. Kyne is the writer of the most famous series of lumber stories in all American history, "Valley ofthe Giants," the Cappy Ricks series and other stories of the sort, and he was well known to the lumbermen of the state for many years.

Long ago, when a serious effort was made to prohibit the use of wooden shingle roofs in California, Peter B. Kyne enlisted in the efforts of the lumber fraternity and did great service in killing the anti-shingle bill.

Mr. Kyne was a great world traveler and writer for years, and his wife was his companion on many of his journeys, and even got mixed up in the fighting in the Chinese Revolution at great risk to themselves. She is survived only bv Mr. Kvne.
