The ,strike of the AFL Lurnlber & Sawmill Workers Union had spread to six more .Oregon and Washington operations Sept. 9, ad'ding 2,000 more to 4,000 men already idle. The union had threatened to pull.an ajditional 2,000 men off their Northern California jobs bv Sept. 1O.

Crow's Lumber Price Index was up again in the Sept. 4 period, showing the price advance h,ad no't stopped ,but it was slowed consi'derably. Green fir dimension remained very strong despite a slowdown in buying. Mills were having difficulty finding boxcars, and the log shortage and labor strikes added to market resistance to any downward pressure. St,andard & Btr dimension and boards remained t,he stronges,t items. K-D fir and Hemlock dimension were also strong. Stud,s sh'o,wed an uipwa'rd tendency. Western pine region lumber, aside ,from di,mension and boards of associated species, was slightly firmer . Redu'ced logging activity because of severe fire weather, and a continued high dem,and for both lumber and ply,wood produ'cts kept log prices steady in western Oregon the past two weeks; trend towar'd higher sawmill log prices in some localities was noted.

Shipments of 452 mills repo,rting to the Natl. Lumber Manufactu,rers Ags,n. in rthe week ending August 30 were 10.8/o a,bove production; orders were 5.6/o above. Orders of 95,M5,2ffi feet were 8.5% un' der production at 155 mills rep,o,rting (135 operating) to the West Coast Lumbermen's Assrl in the week ending August 30, after mounting to l1.l/o above production in the previous week; sh.ipments, however, climbed 5.8% above production in the currenrt week. Douglas fir region sawmill production averaged 158,819,000 b.f. during August, reports the WCLA; orders averaged 176,696,M b.f., and shipments 167,910,0ffi b.f.-all well o,ver July figures Orders of 94,803,000 feet were 2.6% above production at 120 mills rerporting to the W€stern Pine Association in the week ended August 23; shipmentrs were 4.3/o above. Produation of 34,682,0@ feet during July at 14 mills reporting to nhe California Redwood Association fell 6l milli'on feet below June but was only 2 million feet below the July 1957 figure. July shipments orf 40,612,000 feet were more than 7 million feet under June shipments but were almost equal to July 1957, and shipments were well ahead of producrtion for the fif,th month.

Weyerhoeuser Soles ond Timber Compqnies lmproving Services qnd Products to Lumber Deqlers ond Industry

Your attention is called to the Z-page advertisement on Pages 34-35 of this issue. After a successful satisfactory trial period at three local retail lumberyards, this outstanding new product is now being ofrered exclusively in Southern California, for the time being, in a further experimental study of all its possible applications by lumber dealers and builders.

Tacoma, Washington-A. J. "Del" Daley, St. Paul, Minnesota, has been appointed western division manager for 'Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, announces Earl Arthur, vice-president and manager of sales, West Coast mills. Daley, who joins the stafi at Tacoma soon, has 29 years experience with Weyerhaeuser. Well known in Northwest lumber circles, Daley founded the Tacoma-Olympia chapter of International Hoo-Hoo, was president of the chapter for two terms in 1947 and 1948, and assisted in organizing clubs at Yakima and Everett-Bellingham. The new western division manager replaces D. C. Greeley, new field operations manager of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's newly organized Silvatek and New Products Group.

In expanding its recently created sales promotion department, Weyerhaeuser Sales Co. has advanced three of its district representatives to the new positions of assistant managers of sales promotion. The men, all of whom now headquarter at the St. Paul, Minn., general offices of the lumber firm, are R. J. Levin, D. S. Goldman and R. F. Brown.

They will work with Weyerhaeuser district representatives throughout the nation in strengthening the selling and servicing of Weyerhaeuser 4-Square lumber dealers.

While the expanding Weyerhaeuser sales promotion organization does field promotion of the full line of lumber products, the men devote much attention to specialty products such as Nu-Loc, made-to-measure lumber produced in desired lengths and widths, and Loc-Wall, a new slip-together paneling.

The Weyerhaeuser Sales Co. sales promotion department is headed by Manager Theodore Smetana.

The formation of the Silvatek and New Products Group of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, with John L. Aram, vice-president, as general manager, was announced by F. K. 'Weyerhaeuser, company president, effective September 1. The newly formed group includes and supplants the company's Special Products Group in a new realignment of personnel, products and functions designed to improve the company's position in increasingly competitive markets for wood products and special products.

Organization will be made up of four functional departments, with staff managers appointed by Aram for each department. D. C. Greeley is manager of field operations. W. H. Meadowcroft is manager of merchandising planning and continues as manager of product planning, and A. M. Fisken is manager of manufacturing and quality control. Reporting to Greeley will be M. D. Chriss, western district, with headquarters in San Francisco, Calif.

W. H. Meadowcroft will be in charge of product management and merchandising, to include advertising, promotion, publicity and sales aids for all Silvatek products. Four product managers will report to Meadowcroft: for hardboard, D. H. Koch; for particle board, R. N. Jordan; for PlyVeneer, Donald Anderson, and for Silvacel (wood fiber products) and Silvacon (bark products), R. A. Waldron.

A. M. Fisken will direct the planning, scheduling and manufacturing of all Silvatek products. Superintendents of each of these specialized plants will report to Fisken: N. J. Briggs, hardboard plant at Klamath Fall, Ore.; D. E. Isaaoson, particle board plant at Coog Bay, Oregon; James

Rodgers, Ply-Veneer plant at Springfield, Oregon; H. K. Woodson, Silvacon plant at Longview, Washington, and E. M. Brenden, foreman of the Silvacel plant at Snoqualmie Falls, Washington.

The Silvatek Products Group began operations September 1. All former Weyerhaeuser Sales Company customers for hardboard, particle board, Ply-Veneer, Silvacon and Silvacel, including Lumber Division retailers and distributors, will be served by the Silvatek Products Group beginning on that date.

Appointment of Robert D. Pauley to dual positions as director of business development and as assistant to the vice-president, Silvatek and New Products Group, was announced by John L. Aram, vice-president of that newly formed product line group of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, to take efiect September 1. Aram explained that Pauley's appointment is another step in the integration of the company's planned growth through new prodtct, manufacturing and marketing opportunities, whether these develop within Weyerhaeuser's own research programs, through investigations of technologies and markets outside the company, or through purchase of businesses that have growth possibilities for the company. Pauley is past president of the Forest Products Research Society and is now secretary of the Hardboard Association.

John L. Aram, vice-president, Silvatek and New Products Group, and George H. Weyerhaeuser, vice-president, Wood Products Group, of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company jointly announce the realignment of Weyerhaeuser's research facilities at Longview to achieve the most effective program of service to each product line group and to the company as a whole.

"This newly formed unit will serve the Wood Products Group in the development of new and improved lumber and plywood products," Vice-President George Weyerhaeuser explained. "It will also assist Weyerhaeuser Sales Company in customer service on product uses and applications and assist the various Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. mills in questions relating to proctuctton and process technlques."

Announcements were made simultaneously of the appointments of Dr. A. S. Gregory as manager of central research and development, in a realignment of the company's central research organization and staff, and of E. M. Williston as manager of wood products group development and service. Both units are located in Longview and were scheduled to assume their duties under the organization on September 1.

"Purpose of the reorganization of Central Research and Development," Aram explained, "is to enable Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. to aggressively meet competition in fields where wood-derived products now hold large markets and to create new markets through effective application of organized research and development."

Silvatek Products Development will continue to improve products and manufacturing processes and to supply customer services in the use and application of product categories already on the market. Chemical Products Development will engage in development and economic appraisal of products and manufacturing processes for chemicals that can be derived from forest raw materials. Plastics, Adhesives, and Finishes Research will be concerned with long range and applied investigations in problems of polymer plastics and research of overall corporate interest. Research Associates, with the supervision of Dr. J. E. Lodewick, will study new areas of corporate interest. Project Engineers, supervised by R. O. Bathiany, will handle specialized problems in production, packaging, materials handling and economic appraisals, supporting the work of the entire Central Research and Development unit.

New Serve-Yourself Shed for Yord's Customers

Lqtest Exponsion

of Eogle Rock Lumber Compqny

On the weekend of August 15, the Eagle Rock Lumber Company, 2214 Faft Park Ave., celebrated the completion of the first stage of a $200,000 improvement program when its new 62'x305' "Serve-Yourself Market" building was opened to the public. During the three-day weekend, the new development attracted more than 2,000 customers, friends and visiting lumber dealers.

A section of the new storage {acility is set aside for the self service shopper, where all materials, including exterior and interior fir'rishes, are stocked for immediate selection. The new structure by Empire Steel Buildings Co. of Los Angeles was con.rpleted at a cost of $59,000 on the 320'x140' corner in Eagle Rock where the lirm was first established by Emil F. Swanson and the Orban Lumber Company of Pasader-ra in 1912.

N{obile yard equipment is available for loading l-reavy items, and trucks stand by for immediate clelivery of bulk ourchases. ^

The finish shed, adjacent to the new steel structure, contains complete stocks of trim, moulding, kitchen cabinets, hardwood pauels, sash and doors for customer selection.

In 1920, Dealer Swanson purchased the Orban interest and started a long career of retail lumber merchandising as the pioneer in the fast growing Eagle Rock suburban area, serving the builder-contractor, homeowner and rrp to today's do-it-yourself customers. With the additional market facility now in full operation, buying hours at the yard have been extended to include all day Saturday and Sunday morning.

In 1947, Emil Swanson $'as joined by his son North, an Occidental College graduate and a Navy veteran of World War II, who was raised in the lumber business. Today, North is vice-president and general manager of the progressive retail establishment.

He has a definite policy of operation and that is Customer Service first, last and all the time. "If you can nams i1-!rre have it," he said. "And if we haven't got it in stock, we'll get it quickly," he declared.

It requires the services of 21 ordermen and yard employes to handle the constant flow of customers during every day of the week. Attractive disolavs of all standard brand building items, including paint, hirdware. cement, aggregates, wall surfacing and lumber are arranged for easy and quick selection.

A cashier's desk is situated in the new yard facility for fast comoletion of the serve-vourself transaction.

"We service a steady fow of weekend carpenters and homeowners who are constantly improving their property. Eagle Rock is an older section of Los Angeles and expansion and remodeling is the first order of the day," said Yard Foreman Harry Klein.

Assisting Nortl-r Swanson in the administration and management of the concern is the veteran lumber dealer, Ira Kemper. Kemper has been identified ir.r lumber for the past tr,vo decades and is assistant general manager and secretarytreasurer of Eagle Rock Lumber Company, Inc.

Future expansion plans call for additional steel storage buildings, new offices for yard and administrative personnel and the replacement of various out-of-date yard buildings.

"We expect to spend an additional $150,000 during the next year on improvements," said General Manager North 5wanson.

"It is also our intention, through sales promotion and advertising, to reach all homeowners in our area with a

steady flow of directed copy regarding the part our firm plays in the development of our community," he contiriued.

"Good housekeeping is the secret of success, and we aim to help them keep a good house," declared young Swanson.

Further lmprovement in No. 2 Grode Of Sourhern Pine Dimension

By action of its board of governors, th.eiSouthern Pine Inspection Bureau has amended the 1956 Southern Pine grading rules to eliminate the provision permitting pieces of dimension lumber having less than four rings to the inch but not less than three if otherwise No. 1 to be classified and sold as No. 2. This amendment, which becomes effeclive on October 1, 1958, will require the No. 2 grade of. Southern Pine 2" dimension as well as the No. 2 SR grade (applicable to stress-rated heavy dimension and timber 3r, and thicker) to be medium grain (at least four rings to the inch) without exception, reports A. S. Boisfontaine, secretary-manager of the Bureau.

-_He-stated th_at, as a result of this change, it will be possible for the FHA to assign spans for No. 2 Southern Pine dim-e_nsion, in cases limited by deflection, equal to those for No. I or better grades.

1958 Erposition to Give Deolers Everything from llerchqndising to Xlexico

Expanding present markets and creating new ones will keynote a "guided missile" merchandising program for the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association's 5th annual Building Products Exposition to be held in Chicago, November 22-25.

Emphasis throughout the Exposition will be on how lumber and building material dealers can move more merchandise, according to Phil Creden, Exposition general chairman, and Deyo W. Johnson, program chairman.

"The big problem for dealers this year is how to boost building material sales in the face of shirt-sleeve competition for the discretionary spending dollar," Chairman Creden said.

New approaches will be taken in the materials handling and component construction portions of the program, again accenting increased profits through cost cutting and salesbuilding, Mr. Creden indicated. Entertainment features of the Exposition are also being studied with a view toward less formality and broader participation by all segments of the Exposition.

A twelve-day, post-Exposition tour of Mexico is being offered to lumber and building materials dealers and their families who plan to attend the National's fifth annual Exposition in Chicago this fall. The tour is under the management of Gibbs Tours of Chicago in cooperation with the National association and several of its federated associations. Included are visits to such colorful and historic spots as the ancient Pyramids of the Sun and Moon and the Temple of Quetzalcoatl outside Mexico City, the Floating Gardens of Xochimilco, the Palacio de Cortes at Cuernavaca, exotic Borda Gardens, which was the summer palace of Emperor Maximilian and Empress Carlotta, and a motor tour through the Sierra Madres to luxurious Acapulco, stopping on the way to visit the quaint silver-mining town of Taxco.

Beginning in Chicago after the close of the Exposition on Tuesday afternoon, November 25, and. terminating with the return of the dealer to his home town twelve days later, the tour varies in cost from $325 upward p€r person. Included in the fare are airline accommodations, transfers, sightseeing trips, hotel accommodations in Mexico City, Taxco, and Acapulco, all meals outside Mexico City, guide service, and Mexican Travel Permit.

Information and reservations are available through Gibbs Tours, 220 South State Street, Chicago 4, Ill.

Simmons Hordwood Operotion Outgrew L.A. But Plenty Room to Expond in New Downey Site

It was exactly eight and one-half years ago that Sid Simmons, with Roy Stillwell as superintendent and Sid the head of administration and sales, established the Simrnons Hardwood Lumber Company on South Alameda street in Los Angeles. Today this enterprising organization numbers more than 50 employes, operates out of a new fivle-acre plant in Downey, California, and stocks an inventory of foreign and domestic hardwoods and softwoods in excess of three million feet at all times for the Southland retail lumber dealers and qualified industrial users.

Sid was not a kiwi in the lumber business and Roy was no fledgling. Both had been identified in lumber sales and distribution in the Los Angeles area for many years and had their pilot's license, so to speak. These two aggressive lumbermen started right out to build an organization of lumber specialists-and that is exactly what they have accomplished.

Although young men, they boast more than 75 man years of experience in lumber remanufacturing, sales and distribution and have a complete knowledge of procurement and marketing conditions in an ever-changing situation that confronts the hardwood and softwood wholesaler. In the ninth year of business, Sid is owner and Roy is general manager of a team of veteran salesmen, inspectors and operations personnel.

Quarterback of the sales division is Russ Swift, sales manag'er, who has been handling hardwood sales in the Los Angeles area for the past decade. Russ was formerly sales manager for Tropical & Western Hardwood Lumber

Company of Los Angeles. He has a team of experienced salesmen that are hard to beat:

George M. "Mac" McManus ancl Floyd Beatty have been covering the area for Simmons for the past eight years. Both had been with hardwood firms in Los Angeles for many years prior to joining the Simmons team. Then comes Joe Williams, truly a veteran in hardwood sales and distribution. Joe has been on the Southland beat for a quarter of a century and, prior to joining the Simmons organization, was general manag'er of the Angelus Hardwood Co. Marshall Jackson (on vacation when photos were made) is another oldster on the staff. Louis Kunert and L. G. Wilford are new to the Simmons sales staff but long on wood products distribution.

Bill Deuel, yard superintendent, heads the operations staff. He is ably assisted by Ray Martin, mill foreman, and Inspectors Sam Allegra, Al Sellers, Jerry Horner and Jim Mincey.

The service staff includes Herb White. Ernest Goedert. Harold Hixenbaugh, Hardy \\rilson and Earl Rumble.

It requires eight units of mobile equipment to keep the action in the yard humming, including trucks for delivery and lift forks and carriers for stock handling.

The mill facility is for customer keeps the staff busy from early until Martin.

In this more than two million feet of lumber is stored under cover and the total area permits storage in excess of five million feet for fast yard distribution and delivery.

The office staff includes Clare Parsons, credit manager, and Halmer Johnson, senior clerk, assisted by Dorothy Simon, Dorothy Hagerman, Lillie Johnson and Betts Goodfellow. The young ladies have been identified in lumber and wood products in Los Angeles for many years and are also specialists in their line.

The beautiful new offices, yard and plant 'I'he ollices, plant are modern in every detail. The administration building is designed to handle a continuouslv exoandinpr staff. continuously expanding staff.

Private offices for the department heads are finished in the various hardwood wall surfacings sold by the firm. This acts as a permanent display for domestic and imported materials including mouldings and trim.

Prominent in the general and private offices is the use of black walnut, ash and alder wall finishes. These hardwoods are beautifully applied in every detail.

_ _"We are going to continue with our policy of handling 'absolutely nothing but the best' for the Southern California trade," said Sid Simmons. "And we are going to constantly expand our sales and operations to keep abreast of the tremendous growth of our general trade area, which includes parts of Arizona and Nevada in addition to all of Southern California," he continued. "Our new facility is iust minutes from the Santa Ana freeway and fast delivery" to all cities and communities in Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties."

The new Simmons Hardwood Lumber Company plant is located just west of Lakewood boulevard at 8725 Cleta Street in Downey, a couple of blocks south of Firestone boulevard. A full inventory of imported & domestic hardwoods and softwoods isr available for immediate delivery to the trade. Simmons also offers special selection for speciil requirements and has maintained steady growth thiough dependable customer service.

"We stock all species of fine cabinet woods and interior

paneling for the trade," said Roy Stillwell. "And, believe me, every man and woman on ouf staff is customer conscious and scrupulous in every detail to see that the customer receives exactly what he orders for the job he has to do," he declared.

Lumbermen ftlust'Trode Words for Action'

Lumbermen were told that to protect wood's markets from competing products, their industry must "trade words for actionr' and enlist the support of "everyone who has a stake in lumber's future." The warning was sounded by N. Floyd McGowin, president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, in an "Open Letter to the Lumber Industry," published i.n the 1958 Yearbook of the National Association of Commission Lumber Salesmen; He called on all branches of the lumber industry to;orn r., a pJ*rcoordinated plan" of merchandising and promotion. i

This plan, he emphasized, must be carr,e.

just by one branch of the industry but by everyone who has a stake in lumber's future.

"Alongside the manufacturer must stand the wholesaler, commission salesman, retailer, timber grower, fabricator, converter and jobber of lumber, plywood, millwork and all other wood products. Even the woodwork teacher and the manufacturer of machinery used by the wood products industries must be enlisted in this cause.

"Few, il any, industries are made up of as many separate forces. All too often this has served as an excuse for each of us to go a separate way in merchandising and promoting our material."

The need for a joint, cooperative merchandising effort, McGowin said, stems from the fact that "traditionally, lumber has not been 'sold' in the manner that competitive materials are being 'sold' today."

To correct this situation and meet the "challenge" of competing products, the lumber industry must take "bold, aggressive action," he declared.

As a start in that direction, the National Lumber Manufacturers Association this fall will launch a national wood merchandising and promotion program to cost $1 million or more annually, McGowin pointed out.

This new effort, he said, will be in addition to "the $5 million or more" which NLMA's regional associations and individual manufacturers already spend each year to advertise, merchandise and otherwise promote their products.

While the industry's present merchandising efforts are designed to create demand for specific brands and species, this new program will seek to develop a preference for wood, as such, over competing materials, McGowin explained.

"Our new million-dollar wood promotion program, far smaller than the merchandising budgets of many individual companies in competing industries, will not in any sense solve all our merchandising problems," he asserted.

"The greatest value of this effort lies in the fact that it represents a base-a firm foundation upon which to build a solid merchandising structure to benefit all segments of the lumber industry.

"Obviously, this program can sqll wood only if supported by the proper measures elsewhere in our industry."

To back up the manufacturers' new program, McGowin suggested that other segments of the lumber industry consider such projects as:

1. A nation-wide network of lumber sales clinics, organized by wholesalers, retailers and commission salesmen.

2. The establishment of some sort of councit to "draw out different branches of our industry on what thev can:and will-do to make the countrv more wood-conicious." Such a council might also serve as-"an over-all coordinating agency . of the industry's far-flung merchandising actions," McGowin said.

3. An educational campaign directed at the younger generation and conducted bv the International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, frateinal organization of the lumber industrv.

4. A Hoo-Hoo program ro encourage employes in the

wood industries to "buv more items manufactured of our material."

Another area in which there is a need for greater emphasis, McGowin said, is employee training. "Recent surveys indicate that, in many cases, employers in the lumber industry have done little to prepare their employes for sales posrtlons.

"These employes must have basic preparation-formal training for their work-if their employers are to realize their full sales potential. This is especially true at the retail level."

Additional suggestions on how other branches of the industry might tie in with the manufacturers' new program should come from the trade associations in those fields, McGowin added.

Hoo.Hoo Club 2 Hitting on All Cylinders; Plon Girl Show for September ftleeting, Christmos For the Boys ot Biltmore Bowl

Black Cats of Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club 2 are in for a season of action during the 1958-59 fraternal term under the guidance of Snark Don Braley. The opening affair will take place at Lakewood Country Club starting at 10:09 a.m., Thursday, September 25, when the golfers will meet for the first tournament oithe season. In the evening at the 19th hole, cocktails will be served from 5 :09 to 7:09 p.m. Dinner will be served immediately following the cocktail hour because seven acts of vaudeville have been arranged by Larry Weiland and must go on promptly at 8:30.

The entertainment will include plenty of beautiful girls, according to Larry, who promises one of the finest evening's entertainments the club has enjoyed in years. Nothing has been left out and expenses have been waived for this opening event, according to Snark Braley. Every club member is urged to bring a guest in order to make this a big turnout.

The Steering committee during a meeting held at Rodger Young auditorium September 4, set November 7 for the Fall Concatenation. This event will include golf during the day with a full evening of entertainment, it was said. Harvey Koll will name the location early next month.

Friday, December 12, will go down as a Red Letter day for Southern California Hoo-Hoo members in particular, and all Southland lumbermen in general, when Los Angeles Club 2 will sponsor a big Christmas party for underprivileged youngsters of the LeRoy Boys Home of LaVerne, California.

This colossal affair will be held in the Biltmore Bowl and will have the support of all organizations in the industry, including the Southern California Retail Lumber Association, Hoo-Hoo-Ettes, Wholesale Distributors Association, the Seasoning group and others.

The show will get underway promptly at noon and will continue throughout the afternoon, with the boys as guests and all lumber wives invited. There will be first-line entertainment from the nite club beat of Hollvwood and Las Vegas. Santa will make an appearance and there will be presents for everybody and the very best in Biltmore cuisine will be served at the luncheon.

The working committee for this tremendous affair will include Dee Essley, Roy Stanton, Sr., Ed Bauer, Bob Osgood and Snark Braley. The Steering committee of Club 2 will handle all the details. This will include Freeman Campbell, Bill Smith, Rex Wells, Harold Cole, Rex Oxford, Ken Schmidtke, Wayne Wilson, Jerry Essley, Don Bufkin, Joe (Continued on Page 63)

Grest Western Lumber Corp. Acquires Fresno County Timber

With two sawmills operating in Central California-one in Merced and the other at Clingans Junction in Fresno county, Great Western Lumber Corporation is producing in excess of I million board feet of pine, cedar and white fir each week for the retail lumber dealers in Southern California and qualified industrials, according to Norm Winsor, president of the wholesale lumber and remanufacturing concern.

Although the firm has an even flow of timber to keep the two mills operating on a single-shift basis indefinitely, Winsor recently signed contracts with the U. S. Forestry Department for an additional 16 million feet of standing timber in the High Sierras adjacent to the Clingans Junction operation. This will step up production for the Arizona and Southern California market, and the new acreage will develop more than 90/o pine, according to statistici furnished by the cruisers.

Great Western Lumber Corporation was established just 10 years ago in the industrial area of Glendale, on the Southern Pacific spur and the present Golden State Freeway. Norm Winsor, president and general manager, was raised in the lumber and wood products businesi in the southland and is a graduate of the Glendale public schools. He is the son of Percy Winsor. one of the pioneer wholesalers in the southland area. so Norm was o^racticallv born with a splinter in his finger

At the 4f-acre Glendale plant on Thompson Avenue, the wholesale firm also operates the Ameiican Custom Mill, which is a subsidiary of Great Western ofiering remanufacturing facilities to company customers prior to delivery f-rom the distribution yard. in addition to LCL ship- ments from large stocks of pine, spruce, fir and redwoof, Great Western-also offers dhbct -i11 siripments from iti company mills via rail or truck and trailer.

In the administration of this close-knit operation Norm Winsor is_ably assisted by Fritz Hutcheson, vice-president of sales. Hutch has been with the organization ior more than five years and is well known in civic and business circles in the valley city. In his sales department he has two veteran lumbermen who have been 'round these parts for

many years. Ralph Steffen has been identified in wholesale sales in Los Angeles more than 20 years, while Clint Murdock, a 37-year man, has been servicing southland dealers and industrials with hardwoods, imports and softwoods from the markets of the world since the early 20s.

Quarterback of the Glendale team is Auditor-Office Manager Wayne TJnger. He has many duties to perform, including large weekly payrolls, accounts receiveable, credits and administrative policy matters. His righthand gal is Ethel Steel, number one bookkeeper and assistant office manager. She has charge of all billing and collections and is assisted

With timber already being hirvested in three locations in the high Sierras east of Fiesno, it won't be long now until the logs start rolling from the new timberllnd acquired last month by Prexy Winsor.

"With the acquisition of this new-timber we expect to gIpand our sales program through California, Arizona and Nevada," said Norm Winsor. "And with our constantly increasing inventory at the Glendale yard, we feel thal we have a real service to offer dealers and industrial users in our territory, furnishing on the grade items in all sizes and dimension," he continued.

Colifornio Blqck Ook Sqtisfqctorily Kiln-Dried In Lqtest UC Forest Products Loborotory Erperiments

California black oak, a plentiful western hardwood but an "ornery" timber to process, has been kiln-dried satisfactorily from the green condition in a recent series of tests at the University of California's Forest Products Laboratory, Richmond.

Success in the kiln drying research may help clear the way for wider utilization of this species. When properly processed, black oak compares favorably with northern red oak and similar American hardwoods as a material for furniture, flooring, paneling, toys, and certain millwork USCS.

Efforts in the past to utilize black oak have often ended in processing failures. Unless it's dried and conditioned in just the right way, the wood tends to develop internal

stresses; it warps and splits, and the surface may develop checks.

During the past 18 months, black oak lumber four-quarter stock amounting to some 7,000 board-feet has been kiln dried from the green condition at the University of California laboratory in Richmond. The project was supervised by Eric L. Ellwood, chief of the laboratory's division of timber ohvsics and mechanics.

In the firsf tests, a 3,500-board-foot "charge" was dried under accelerated conditions, including a quick fall in relative humidity. Drying time was 19 days (including equalizing and conditioning treatments)-considered very fast for black oak. The degrade on this material (based on a before-ancl-after comparisorr of lumber grades) amounted to about two dollars per thottsand boar-d-feet-considered srnall in this kind of tieatment.

According to Elhvood, the initial drying conditions were very critical: surface checking developed easily unless high relative humidity rvas mainlained. Also, distortion and collapse were likely unless comparatively low kiln temperatures were used during the initial drying period (down to 25o/o moisture content in the lumber).

The Richmond tests continued with a second run made under milder conditions. In this case, relative humidity rvas decreased more slowly and the temperature was not increasecl until the lurnber reached 25/o moisture content. Total time for this treatment was 24 days-comparable to tl-re drying time for northern red oak. The milder run yielded a higher gracle than did the accelerated treatment.

oaks. Kiln drying from the green condition requires very critical conditions, varying with kilns and local situations. Air drying or pre-drying may sometimes be more economical, but these methods can't complete the job down to the required 8/o moisture level.

Ellwood and his associates are continuing experiments to overcome the problem of collapse-an extreme form of shrinkage caused by cell deformation during the kiln-dry- ing process. Collapse recovery treatmentJ have already been demonstrated showing possibilities for a substantiil recovery in lumber volume with removal of more than half the original shrinkage.

The University of California studies are part of a threeway-cooTeration i_n black oak research, sponsored in part !y the Diamond-Gardner Corporation. The U. S. Forest Products Laboratory in Madisbn, Wisconsin, has been assessing black-oak log grades, comparing the quality of logs with. the quality of the lumber they y-ield. And ltre Cat-ifornia Forest and Range Experiment -Station of the U. S. Forest Service has been conducting tests at Chico on air drying and pre-drying of four-quari-er oak stock.

4Oo/o Exponsion in GypsumBoqrd Use

Production of gypsum board in the United States will rise above present levels by a)/o by 1965, said H. Dorn Stewart, president of the Barrett division of Allied Chemical Corp. More than half of all homes being built today use the board for inte-rior wall surfaces, he said, estimating that in 1956 around 70/o of new homes will make use of dry wall construction.

The industry last year turned out 6.6 billion square feet of gyp.sum board, Stewart said, and industry marketing studies indicate that by 1965 production should reach more th"an 9 billion square feet.

'Housing for Elderly' Colled Lorge Mqrket for New Homes

Reading a message from FHA Commissioner Norman P. Mason, Deputy Commissioner Cyrus B. Sweet told the assembled builders at the recent NAHB Spring meeting, "Let me make one thing crystal clear. Some of you have been reluctant to work on housing for the elderly because in one of its major approaches it is set up for a non-profit owner. This phase of the program refers to the operation-not the building.

"As a builder you can interest a non-profit groupa church-labor groups, etc., and do the work for them and get properly paid. You can in the normal course of your business be of service to your communitv. You at no time need to become a part of the non-profit gioup."

Most of the families consist of two persons, which means that they need smaller accommodations. One in every five has substantial assets; average net worth is about $4800. More than 65/o own their own homes. Of these, 4O/o live in homes probably too large for them, but which could be sold al-d the equity used for buying a smaller, more modern and efficient home.

."Too many people think of the elderly as a single group wtth the same charactbristics," said a speaker. "Actually, there is a large age span between retirement and deathperhaps 30 years-and their desires and needs vary greatly. Some want to live close to home, others want tto go [o warmer climates. The fact of the matter is that a market for h_omes for older persons exists in every city and town in the United States." -

There is a tremendous need for accommodations for elderly persons at rents or monthly payments of from $40-50, said Mrs. Mary Cleverly, Houslng ior the Elderly repres- entative for the FHA. She said thit pressures are'growing for a much greater volume of moderafe-cost housin{for thi

"Living for Young Homemakers," the popular magazine, studying detailed reports on 1957 construction in California, found that: Of 152,000 housing starts in metropolitan areas (16/o of the entire U. S. total), some 81,000 were in Los Angeles-Long Beach area; t8,252 in San Francisco-Oakland; 16,100 in San Diego, and (surprise !) more than 16,2W in the San Bernardino-Riverside area.

elderly, and that the Housing Center meeting showed t-he awareness of home builders to-this challenge.

"Providing good private housing for older persons is the same as providing a social service," declared Joseph P. McMurray, commissioner of the New York State Division of Housing. He pointed out that in New York the cost of a hospital bed to maintain an older person was $20,000, whereas a good home could be provided for that person for half that amount or less.

McMurray pointed out that surveys of older people in hospitals in New York showed that at least 2O/o would not be in these hospitals if they could find adequate housing for themselves.

"The market is a large market," said McMurray, "because there is a large number of older families who can afford decent private housing. However, there is a dearth of knowledge on the subject and I hope both the National Association of Home Builders and the Federal government will undertake to educate large charitable and educational institutions, and community leaders in the practical possibilities of building homes for older persons."

New Heovy-duty Germon Hot Press Instolled by Stroit Door llqnufocturing Compony

To keep abreast of the heavy demand for Strait manufactured doors in the Southland, a new heavy-duty, sideloading, 4'x8' Burkle German Hot Press has been installed in the El Monte, California, plant of the door manufacturing concern, according to President Charlie Strait.

Ever alert to the supply and demand situation in the building industry in Southern California, and being well acquainted with conditions in the Orient, Charlie Strait anticipated the shortage of Lauan door skins due to allocations early this year. Consequently, large purchases were made of veneer raw materials, cut to door skin sizes, which made it possible to produce Strait manufactured Philippine mahogany door skins, thereby keeping ahead of a constantly changing situation.

I|{tANI) TUMBTR COMPAI{Y

In addition to these door skins, the Strait company llow produces in excess oI 2500 doors per day, it was said.

It was just a little over two years ago that Charlie Strait established his own door-manufacturing business in El Monte. From a slow start and five employes, Strait has been expanding by leaps and bounds. This- firm now employs more than 100 men in the production department, operates two huge German Hot Presses and occupies six large warehouses on the six-acre site. In addition, it requires two shifts to keep up with the ever increasing demand for Strait materials.

"We presently enjoy a backlog of more than 100,000 doors and we intend to work full capacity to supply the everincreasing demand for our doors," said Charlie Strait.

In order to keep the plant "humming," Lourent Wilkinson, formerly with E. D. Delaney, Inc., has been appointed assistant superintendent in charge of the swing shift. He has many years' experience in the wood products business and has been closely allied with the Strait organization for several years. Another top man in the door industry, Dan Hartwell, has been named general superintendent of the ftrait plant, and A. F. Kelly, formeily of Doors, Inc., Mountain View, California, has been assigned to the im-

"The Dealer's Supplier- Never His Competitor"

portant post of assistant to General Manager Pete Bingley. Pete has been with Strait since the very start of the business and prior to that time was employed in the door-manufacturing business for several years in Southern California. Kelly will handle the credit department in addition to other administrative duties.

According to President Strait, his firm is presently enjoying a multi-million-dollar volume and has increased sales and manufacturing more than four times since the first year of operation. "If it becomes necessary, we shall establish a graveyard shift to keep abreast of the demand for Strait doors," he said.

"There are three important factors in our growth. We endeavor to produce the best door that money can obtain, we have a close-knit organization both in sales and production, and we direct our advertising through the proper channels so the answer is quality products, teamwork and straight-from-the-shoulder advertising," Strait continued.

Kenneth Smith was called on to outline for this group what had been done by other industry groups. Flomer Maris, president of the FPANC, presided and said the time was ripe for cooperative action between the state groups. Harry V.'Hanson, president of the SCFPA, advised a single code for both bodies. D. J. Cahill, Western Hardwood Co., brought up the classification of jobbers un-

A man who had just moved into a small Pennsylvania town fell into conversation with an old Quaker who sat on a bench in the public square. "What kind of people live here?" asked the newcomer.

"What kind of people didst thee live amongst before?" asked the old man.

Said the other: "Oh, they were mean, narrow, suspicious and very unfair."

"Then," said the Quaker, "I am sorry, but thee will find the same kind of people here."

Not long afterward the old Quaker was accosted by another man who had come to live in the town. "What sort of people live here?" the newcomer asked him.

Mqteriqls Hondling Shorr Cuts

By Robert B. Brown, Materials Handling Director, National Retail Lumber Dealers Assn.

Many yards that use fork trucks to handle most of the material they stock ievert to the "pick-and-shovel" days in handling sand and gravel. This is due to the fact that the average yard does not handle enough volume of these bulk items to warrant special equipment, such as a front end loader, and the average fork truck manufacturer doesn't have available an economical easy-to-use attachment for this purpose.

Shortly after Frank M. Hankins, Jr., vice-president of H. H. Hankins & Brothers, mechanized his Bridgeton, New Jersey, yard with an 8,000-pound capacity fork truck, he found that the only scoop attachments available were expensive and not easily interchangeable with the forks. The one made by the manufacturer of his fork truck required that the forks be removed before the scoop could be attached. This required 10 to 15 minutes' time putting the scoop on and the same in removing it. This wasn't economical in the averagi order for sand or gravel so Frank, with the assistance of a local metal shop, devised a scoop that could be picked up, used and set down by the fork truck without requiring the driver to leave his seat.

Usuat working capacity is approximately 1 ton. 47" long, 60" wide, 32" high at back. Since the full capacity of the scoop cannot be easily picked up without making repeated "dives" into the pile, the height of the sides and back could be reduced. Sides and back are 3/16" steel plate.

If not properly used, a scoop attachment on a fork can cause unnecessary wear and result in damage to the transmission. Since fork trucks are not stressed to be front-end loaders, it is recommended that the driver take the truck out of gear just before making contact with the pile. The truck should "coast" and not be "powered" into the pile.

Mr. Hankins feels that his scooD has worked out very well and saved more than the $200 cbst within a few monthi after they began using it. During the winter it is used for snow removal and throughout the year is used to remove trash and help keep the yard cleaned up.

Which Indeed?

The young drugstore cowboy, with his hair plastered fat on his head, took a seat in the barber's chair, "What'll you have?" asked the barber, "a hair-cut, or just the oil changed?"

Kipling Wrote:

For this is the law of the jungle, ft's as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it will prosper, And the wolf that shall break it, shall die. As the creeper encircles the tree trunk, The law runneth forward and back; That the strength of the pack is the wolf, And the strength of the wolf is the pack.

Fronklin on'Hqppiness

Said Benjamin Franklin: "There are two ways of being happy. We rnay either diminish our wants or augment our means-either will do-the result is the same; and it is for each man to decide for himself and do that which happens to be the easiest.

"If you are idle, or sick, or poor, however hard it may be to diminish your wants, it will be harder to augment your means. If you are active, .or prosperous, or young, or in good health, it may be easier for you to augment yogr means than to diminish your wants.

"But if you are wise you will do both at the same time, young or old, rich or poor, sick or well. And if you are very wise you will do both in such a way as to augment the general happiness of society."

"What would I get if this house should burn down this very day?" asked the man who had just insured his home against fire.

The insurance man said: "I would say that if you had a first-class lawyer and a good defense fund, you might not get more than five years."

Good clnd Bqd Times

Bad times are good times for the development of new ideas, improved methods, and new business. When things are slack, opportunity is afforded for work in the laboratory of the brain, and the laboratory of the factory, and the research department is put on its mettle. Bad times are also good times to take a mental inventory of everything pertaining to one's business, to study the lessons that experience should have taught, and to take a look into the future as far as our too-limited human intelligence will permit.

July Housing Stqrts - I I I,OOO

The preliminary estimate of 111,000 new nonfarm dwelling units started'in July is 13,200 units more than July a year ago and brings the seasonally adjusted annual rate of private starts up to 1,160,000 units. The 645,500 units started the first seven months of this year is 34,100 units more thau the same seven months last year, reports the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

The decline of 4,000 units from June was less than usual for the time of vear. and the Tulv 1958 total exceeded the year-earlier figuie by nearly I4/o.'

Privately owned housing starts, which usually decline in July, rose a little this year (by 2,800 units) to a total of 107,300. This represented a gain of I4/o over Jtiy 7957, to the largest private total for any month since May 1955. The increase from June was entirely in housing begun under FHA and VA mortgage insurance programs. Seasonally adjusted, private starts in July were the highest in2l years. When averaged for the first seven months, the annual rate of private starts thus far in 1958 was 1,013,700 units, compared with an average of 970,700 units for the same 1957 period. Preliminary building permit reports indicate that last month's advance in private homebuilding occurred primarily in the North Central and Western States.

At the end of the first seven months of 1958, a total of 645,500 new nonfarm houses and apartments had been put under construction-nearlv 67o more than the 611.400 units started in the comparable 1957 period. This y."r;. private total (605,200 units) was more than 4/o above the figure for the first seven months of 1957. Housing begun with FHA and VA mortgage assistance accounted for about two-thirds of the overall gain in private starts over last year.

Publicly owned housing starts declined between June and July-from 10,500 units to 3,700. The 7-month total of public starts was at a 6-year high of 40,300 units in 1958, compared with the 32,200 reported in the same 1957 months.

ord, we'd like to note that Ed first got his start in the hardwood business with an outfit called the Felix Richards Hardwood Company, located on "hardwood row" (Brannan Street) in San Francisco. Ed, a native San Franciscan, started with this concern in l92l and remained there until 7927, when he joined up with J. E. Higgins Lumber Co. His association with Higgins was to be a long one---27 years to be more specific-during which time Ed held down a variety of yard, sales, office and executive positions.

It was in 1951 that Ed finally got across the Bay, so to speak, for that was the year he joined K. E. MacBeath and Alex Gordon, who were operating a hardwood yard on San Pablo avenue in Berkeley. Ed who has remained with Gordon-MacBeath Hardwood Company through its sale back in December'54 and its subsequent purchase by new owners last Summer, has been named to the important post of Oakland warehouse manager because of his extensive knowledge of the California trade and the hardwood industry.

Northwest Hcrrdwood Associotion Nqmes McMunn Grode Rules Heqd

H. I. McMunn of Longview, Washington, has accepted appointment to the chairmanship of the all-important hardwood lumber grade rules committee of the Northwest Hardwood Association, announces Emmet J. Nist, president, Seattle. He succeeds Robert McGregor of Vancouver, Canada.

McMunn was for many years methods engineer for \Meyerhaeuser Timber Company, in which capacity he did extensive research and experimentation in developing new uses for Pacific Coast Alder and Maple and methods of improving quality. He is now retired but retains an active interest in our native western hardwoods and their increased utilization.

According to Nist, the work of this committee is a vital part of the association's program to improve the quality of hardwood lumber produced by member mills to assure a wider acceptance and satisfaction on the part of buyers. "With California furniture factories our number one buyers, our members are anxious to turn out products that will meet the most exacting specifications," he-said.

The committee is working on a revision of the present rules and its recommendations for amendments will be presented at the Saturday afternoon session of the association's Z-day annual meeting at the Congress hotel in Portland, Oregon, September 26 and 27. It 1s expected that there will be a good representation of California yards handling hardwoods to take part in the open discussion.

The following California firms are members of the Northwest lfardwood Association: Hallinan Mackin Lumber Co., Inc., San Francisco; Brusl-r Industrial Lumber Company, Montebello; B & L Moulding Supply Co., South Pasadena; the Kern-Dell Company of Santa Rosa; and L. R. Smith Hardwood Company, Stahl Lumber Company, Inc., Two Star Lumber Sales, Tropical & Western Lumber Company and Slattery Lumber Company, all of Los Angeles.

Oversize Numbers on Sqles Forms Gon Sqve Time

New sales forms with oversize (ft-inch high) identifying numbers can save time for salesmen in building supply yards or hardware stores. The new forms, with- standard wording, are available from UARCO Incorporated, national manufacturer of business forms. Oversize numbers which can be read from a distance are especially useful whenever duplicate ticket must be matched against the original that,is attached to the merchandise. On "will calls," for example, the customer presents his duplicate receipt and the clerk must locate the original ticket and merchandise.

Such tickets were used first in dry cleaning shops to enable ilerks to quickly identify garment bags, UARCO explained. The advantage of easy identification also would lpply to many situations in building supply yards or hardware stores, ihe company said. Oversize number forms are available either in rolls for autographic registers or in E-Z Out sets.

967o of the Timber Cut in Redwood Region Done Under Best Proctices, Soys Survey

A recent survey of private industry timber cutting practices in the Redwood Region shows that 96/o of 1 billion board feet harvested during 1957 was cut under acceptable or better forest harvesting practices. The survey, covering a substantial portion of all timber cut on private lands in the region, was made by the California Redwood Association Tree Farm Committee, disclosed R. R. Chaftee of Willits, committee chairman in a report to the State Board of Forestry meeting at Placerville, june 12.

This is the first time a survey of private timber cutting practices has been made in the Redwood Region, Chaffee explained. He asserted that it showed that much progress was being made in the management of private timberlands in the region under tree farming principles.

Bill Wilson Publishes Book

William M. Wilson, former Los Angeles wholesale lumberman till earlv 1956. has published an interesting little book, handsomely illustrated, which shows what he has been doing the last couple years. It is called "Around the World at l2c a Mile" and sells for the modest price of $1. Wilson's vivid recollections is now available at about 40 book shops in Southern California and he is presently in the northern part of the state to start off his book there and look over the lumber situation.

More than 54/o was harvested under high order forestry practices, which includes stands of timber selectively marked by foresters, stands cut to a diameter limit substantially above the state forest practice rules reqrtirements, and stands cut very lightly for thinning. Redwood and Douglas fir are the principal species included in the survey.

An additional 42/o of the survey production was considered to be fully acceptable forest practice according to the state forest practice rules. This group includes stands harvested according to diameter limits specified by the state rules where removal of all merchantable trees above the limit left adequate seed trees or young growth for the next croP.

Onlv 47o of the entire 1 billion board feet within the sur.'.y *m considered minimum forest practice, Chafiee explained, and a substantial portion of this production represented cutting under clearcut permit on ranchers' lands. Violations of the state forest practice rules are not indicated within this category.

Congratulations to Monroe Hirschfeldt, head of Bay City Lumber Co., who celebrated his sixty (9th) birthday, Aug. 28. The longtime Oakland retailer claims, like Benny, that this is ABSOLUTELY the last birthday he's gonna recognize.

Following appeared in Gene Sherman's "Cityside" column in a recent L. A. Times: "Marge Crawford's faith in humanity is firm again following a nice thing that happened to her on the Santa Ana Freewav. FIer car blew a tire at night. She was alone and wondering what to do when a man pulled up and changed the tire for her. He turned out to be Marty Mora of Orange Coast Hardware & Lumber. Been traveling the opposite direction but had

turned off the freeway and come back. Once, he told Marge, no one had stopped when he was in trouble and he decided instead of being bitter about it he'd try to be better."

The Beton Company's imported lumber and plywood manager, Dick Brown, is on a month's trip to accounts in Texas and surrounding states until early October. He joined Beton in June.
