Q. Who signs the check?

A. The plywood monufucturets

Year after year you have had a steady increase in fir plywood sales. May we ask if you ever wondered how this great increase in your sales happened.

The answer, we think, lies in the 21-year multi-million dollar promotion, research and quality control prograrlrsi carried on by the better fir plywood manufacturers.

Therefore, if you think well of the results of this industry efiort, is it unreasonable to ask you to support these manufacturers by buying only DFPA grade-trademarked plywood?

Your support is vital if these large sums of promotional money are to continue on your behalf.

turn to their jobs Sept. 8 following ratification of the new 3-year contrait by thi two unions involved in the strike.

The new contracts call for a 15-cent an hour wage increase in each of the next three years, provide longer vacations, add the day after Thanksgiving as another paid holiday, and provide other benefits. James S. Rigney, business agent for the Carpenters union, said that wage provisions of the contract are not subject to "reopening for any reason" in the next three years.

Los Angeles 8-Monlhs' Building Volume Hirs All-time Peqk

Both Los Angeles city and county hit new records in volume of building per'mits issued for the first eight months of 1959. The city-'J total of $441,098,350 since January 1 compares with $427,605,752 in the same span last year, whili the county's $254,231,991 so far in '59 compares to $224,444,751 in the same 1958 span. G. E. Morris, general manager of the city's Dept. of Building & Safety, said, "We have every reason to believe that 1959 will break alJ p_r_evious building records for Los Angeles." The year of 1958 was the first in which the city passed the $S0O-million mark. A total of 44,649 permits issued in 1959's first two-thirds, compares with 40,554 to that date last year.

The city's permits for August totaled $52.3 million, compared to $42.8 million in August 1958, and $48.7 million ttris ;uty. The county's August figure dropped to $34.4 million from the $35.9 million recorded this July.

San Fernando Valley continued to lead the parade, with a 1959 total to date of 20,874 equalling V25p72,614.

The August figures includecl 2,268 permits for housing units in the city area, and the completion of 1,272 units. Since the start of 1959. 14.733 units have been aclded to the city's housing facilities.

Protecf Your lien Righrs

Although it is not definitely known, whether it is necessary to give 15 days' notice to owners and original contractors before filing a lien if the expiration date falls between September 18 and October 3, to be on the safe side, dealers who have not filed a lien by September 17 should comply with nerv Sectiotr 1193 to tl-re Code of Civil Procedure.

This simply means that, if a claim of lien is to be filed on or after September 18, tl-re material man must give written notice, not later than 15 days prior to filing of the claim of lien, to tl-re owlter and original contractor of any unpaid claims.

Dealers should watch this very closely and, when in doubt, contact their attorney, reports the Southern California Retail Lun.rber Assn.

Here's How They Operote Retoil Yords in Alosko

(Reprinted Courtesy of "This Earth". Magazine

Published by Kaiser Industries)

With gold almost gone as an industry, Alaska is seeking and finding means tb develop huge ,resources of wealth. The objective is a permanent and profitable economic base.

"The' entire picture is changing," said the lean, silverhaired veteran of 30 years of lumber operations in Alaska' Tom Morgan, president of Columbia Lumber Company and key man "in virious other Territorial enterprises, leaned back in his chair to reminisce.

"Wlren my wife and I arrived here in Juneau in 1926,

there were only a couple of planks leading from the ship to a few muddy streets. It was a sleepy town. Only 2,500 people. ^

"buJ'what a change now. You'd have to live through it to believe it."

The change he spoke of is very apparent, eve.n to-the "Cheechako/ or newcomer. Against the green backdrop of precipitous Mt. Juneau, the capital city presents a scene of brighi colored nJning fleets, governmentbuildings, paved streeti, lively downtown, abandoned gold mines, lumber milling and hundreds of new homes.

"People are building permanent, year-'round homes now, here and in other pofuiatiott centers," Morgan continu.ed. "Some of the developments you see here were rugged ttmbered areas just a few years ago. It's taken real settlers to do that kind of iob."

Morgan's Coluhbia Lumber Company has had no small part in supplying the construction of housing, commercial ind military pro-jects in and around the cities of Juneau, Sitka, Anchorage and Fairbanks.

Columbia operates retail lumber yards in each of these centers, and siwmills at Juneau, Sitka and Whittier having a combined capacity of 235,000 feet of lumber per- eighthour shift. Greai log! from Tongass National Forest, largest stand of virgin spruce in the world, make Columbia's lumber a desirable export item about the globe.

In keeping with its belief in the permanenc-e .of things Alaskan, Columbia Lumber's retail yards are efficient, wellconstructed buildings. Some thoughts in this were projected by Cliff Robards, yard manager at Anchorage:

"In the '40's, they used to live here in anything--piano boxes, tents and triilers. Now both the number of family units and the sizes of families are growing.

"We've done a lot of business with small contractors for home improvements-singles and small groups of homes. We have an active Operation Home Improvement movement, and a program similiar to FHA I, but with local capital and less red tape.

"Every day we're figuring for people trying to get_a new lease on-life.'I think we are going to have some good years ahead."

Kaiser Gypsum products supplied by Columbia Lumber to both military and civilian construction were "highly acceptable," Robards added.

Like other Alaskan industrial leaders, Columbia Lumber's Tom Morgan has seen the need-and the opportunity -to go into other lines of endeavor, to help provide.the divers-ity necessary to any young economy. To that end he has a large interest in the operations of Alaska Coastal Airline an-d Alaska Investors and Loan Corporation'

Koppers ro Build First Wood-Treqting Plonf in Forty-ninth State

Koppers Company, Inc., will build and operate the first *oo6-preserving plant in the 49th state-Alaska-it was announced August 29. Douglas Grymes, Jr., vice-president and general manager of the Koppers' Wood-Preserving division, said his Division has started erection of a plant at Whittier, on property leased from The Alaska Railroad, adjacent to property of the Columbia Lumber. Company. _It is anticipaled that the plant will be in operation next July-

Major customers for the pressure-treated wood products. to be-produced in the plant at the beginning of operation will be a dozen or more publicly-owned utilities, The Alaska Railroad (government-owned), which has been using approximately 65,000 pressure-creosoted ties ann-ually, and Columbia 'Lumber. Pressure-creosoted piling for marine installations also will be supplied to Alaskan users. A rapidly growing demand for pressure-treated wood in Alaski also seems assured in line with that state's swift development.

While the Alaskan plant originally will have one treating cylinder, it will be able to pressure-treat wood with creosote, the major chemical preservative used on railroad ties and telephone poles ; with Wolman salts, a preservative most frequently used for treatment of lumber, and with special chemicals that make wood non-combustible'

Koppers' Wood-Preserving division now operates 33 plants in the United States, furnishing preservative treatments which make wood resistant to attack by fungus, decay, termites and fire. Termites are not a problem in the cold-Alaskan climate, but because there is heavy precipitation, both rain and snowfall, fungus and other decaycausing organisms thrive.

In many Alaskan areas, fire-protection equipment is (Continued on Page 46)

Zesl Goins Notionol Acceptonce for Pocific Cosst Hordwoods

By Horry O. Mitchell, Secretoly-Monoger, Northwest Hardwood Association, Seattle, Washington Paper Presented at the Palm Springs Meeting, NATIONAL WOOD COUNCIL, February L2-L3,1959

THE HARDWOODS OF THE WEST were relatively unknown until recently. Production and sales were spaimodic and uncertain. Acceptance was limited and scepticism and prejudice existed. There werb no production or marketing standards. Grading rules were non-existent. The industry was unorganized. Yet the resource of merchantable trees was enormous and the potentiality for a thriving industry was most promising.

In September of 1955, a group of zealous timberland owners, mill men and wholesalers, cognizant of. this situation and sold on the merits of western hardwoods, organized the Northwest Hardwood Association to promote and conserve the species native to the Pacific Coast hardwood belt that ranges from Northern California to Alaska.

Its first objective was to establish grading rules for logs and lumber. The association's first set of rules, applicable to the most prevalent species-alder and maple-were accepted by the National Hardwood Lumber Association as the national standard for these hardwoods. More recentlv. ash and birch have been added

Then came the important job of promotion. A two-fold program was set up: (1) to sell to its own industry members the need for organized action and to educate them in ways and means to produce a quality product; (2) to sell buyers on the value and adaptability of Pacific Coast hardwoods.

^ Excellent. progress has been made toward realizing the first, objective by conducting meetings with outstanding speakers to inspire, and technical experts to instruct, in such subjects as scientific timber and management and conserva_tion,practices, improved logging, sawmilling, drying and finishing techniques and the development of new uses-.

Clinics and free-for-all discussions have been held. Visits have been paid to leading mills, such as the giant operation at Longview, Washington, to learn about the most efficient production methods. A special training course in hardwood lumber grading was established to leach producers and salesmen, with a veteran inspector from the National Hardwood Lumber Association as instructor. Technical experts were drafted as consultants. An official journal, "Picific Coast Hardwoods," was established.

To reach the field of buyers and users, an intensive pub- licity program was launched. Feature articles were prepired for trade journals in the fields of lumber marketing, iurniture, wood-working and box-making production ant architecture and construction. Timely news items and reports o{ meetings were fed in a constint stream to newspjpers, the wire services and radio and television stations. -Eicel-

Annuql Meeting Sept. 25-26

The third annual meeting of the Northwest Hardwood Association will be held later this month. on the 25th and 26th, at the Monticello hotel in Longview, \A/ashington.

lent results have been obtained with reams of clippings as evidence and numerous full-page and multiple-page feature articles.

Displays of members' products : fine furniture, interior wa1l paneling, woodenware novelties, parquetry flooring, millwork, kitchen cabinets, school equipment, boxes, etc-., were shown at association meetings, in bank lobbies, at chambers of commerce, at hotels, in power-company showrooms and windows, at construction centers, and 6uilders' and architects' trade shows and at educational institutions.

It can now be said that the hardwoods of the Pacific Coast are known frorn Coast to Coast and that their acceptance has been firmly established.

To enlarge the market on a national basis, lower freight rates were obtained from the transcontinental railroads ind connecting lines so that Pacific Coast hardwoods can now be shipped to any place in the United States at softwood rates.

The construction market appears to offer attractive op- portunities and efforts are now being made to enter this field. Hardwoods, by and large, are primarily shop or factory woods, utilized mainly in the manufacture -of furniture and a multitude of woodenware items, and our western hardwoods have successfully invaded this field. But their application in the construition field has thus far been somewhat limited.

_ Bqt some progress is being made in the production of flooring, {actory-built door f}aming, moulding, millwork and interior wall paneling. Exquisiti wall pan6ls with veneers of .western alder, maple, madrone, myrlle, ash, cottonwood, oak and walnut have been producid on an experi- mental basis. The natural charactei-markings of the more exotic species have attracted favorable comment by architects and builders. One example is the installation -of Oregon myrtle in the walls of the executive office of the United States National Bank in Portland which has been widely publicized in the architectural and financial press.

The association's big problem is increasing its membership strength to provide the means with wh-ich to do the things that are possible and so urgently needed but which require far more working capital-than the dues from its present limited membership can provide.

The consumer must be reach-ed with dramatic advertising -to _create a demand that will filter upward through the successive levels af the architects. de(Continued on Page 52)

NEWEST MATER,IAIs, EGIUIP'NENT AND INNOVATIONS TO BE BUITT INTO THE CLEVETAND N.R..L.D.A. EXPOSITION

A full-size, "ideal" house for families with children will be built, completely furnished, and displayed at the 6th annual NRLDA Building Products Exposition in Cleveland, November 14-17. It will contain many of the latest products developed for residential use. Planned around the needs of families with young, growing children, the house incorporates almost every feature any family could possibly want. The house will be constructed with materials and equipped with products selected for their suitability to the needs of today's active, young families. Every consideration has been given to choosing materials and products that require only a minimum of maintenance and make day-byday living more pleasant.

Designed by the well-known architect, Grosvenor Chapman, AIA, with Laurence S. Higgins, AIA, of the Lumber

Dealers Research Council as Associate, the house will be built on the Lu-Re-Co system of component construction. Sponsorecl by Parents' rvragazlne, it is the twelfth in their series of "Expandable Homes." It features three outdoor living areas, one of which is completely secluded; play areas inside and outside the house, and separate indoor and outdoor living areas for parents and children. The house is entirely suitable for construction in any climate or geographic area on a lot as small as 65 ft. in width.

Among the products to be featured are kitchen and laundry, Strutwall structural wood window units and door frames, smooth surface floor coverings and acoustical ceiling tiles, laminated plastic for counter tops and wall tile, year 'round air conditioning, and aluminum exterior materials including vertical siding, roof shingles, gutters and downspouts. Gas is used as fuel for heating the house, also for cooking, refrigerating, water heating and automatically drying the clothes.

Other materials pertinent to the design of the house are Georgia-Pacific V-Grooved prefinished hardwood paneling which is practically indestructible; bathroom plumbing fixtures and a Modernfold door.

The home will receive nationwide publicity and promo- tion next year when it will be featured editorially in the June 1960 issue of Parents' magazine. Building materials dealers throughout the United States will have an opportu- nity to tie in with the national publicity by making arrangernents to construct the home in their own communities according to standards specified by the magazine and the Lumber Dealers Research Council.

Anticipating a large turnout for the sixth annual Building Products Exposition to be held in Cleveland, November 14.17, under the sponsorship of the NRLDA, the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California is planning to arrange a first-class United Airlines DC-78 charter flight from San Francisco direct to Cleveland. This will, the Association notes, result in substantially reduced fares, an added bonus to flying back with the "gang."

The Association has also arranged to have a Northern California dealer hospitality area at the Exposition, in addition to reserving a block oi rooms at the Pick-Carter hotel, co.nvention headquarters, for LMA members and their wrves.

All interested members should contact LMA headquarters, 24 California St., San Francisco, as soon as possible to insure room on the charter flight and hotel accommodations.

Plutarch tells a most remarkable story about a famous man's infatuation for a tree. He says that the great King Xerxes halted his army of seventeen-hundred-thousand men, to admire a Plane tree. He was so impressed by the loveliness of the tree that Plutarch says he "doted on it." More than that, he took off his richest garments and put them on the tree, and in addition he took from his greatest generals and from his concubines their jewels and bracelets, their rich clothes and their gold, and with them bedecked this tree. He seemed to lose all interest in the battle he was then preparing for, in fact, he lost the battle because of the delay the tree caused him.

The word "sabotage" is from the French. The French word for shoe is "sabot." In 1912 there was a great railway strike in France, and the strikers cut the shoes holding the railroad lines. So they called cutting the railway shoes "sabotage." Or so the story goes. {<**

Big Deol for Deolers ot Exposition

, (Continued from Page 12) expanded the floor space for its 6th annual Building Products Exposition. General Chairman Oertell Collins, Savannah, Georgia, lumber and building materials dealer, described the expansion as "significant of the industry's increasing recognition of the dealer's key position in the marketing of building products."

With two months to go before its November 14 opening, e 1959 NRLDA Exposition has already surpassed all of the its orevious records: 232 exhibitors are alreadv scheduled previous records; already to participate in the Cleveland show, using a net square footage that exceeds a standard 50O-exhibit booth show. New records have also been set in the number and variety of building products, equipment and services for the dealei.

"Never before under one roof," Chairman Collins commented, "has the dealer had an opportunity, such as our

Missourion First Deqler to R.egister for Exposition

A dealer from the "show-rne" state of Missouri, Sam M. Arnold of Kirksville's Arnold Lumber Company, took the lead o'rer his associates in the industry by being the first to register for NRLDA's 6th Annual Building Products Exposition. Mr. Arnold, whose registration was received only a few hours before several others-the time difference between a day's morning and afternoon mail deliveries, in fact-heads a rapidly growing list of lumber and building material dealers planning to attend this important event of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association in Cleveland, November 1,1-17.

Highlighting the "all-out" attendance campa.ign for this year's NFILDA show is a brand-new advance registration plan which provides an unprecedented attendance incentiv+ a l0% discount on all registrations received in the NRLDA office by November 6. Present indications already point to complete fulfillment of the 1959 goal to bring a record-breaking number of dealers to the Cleveland show, To implement the attendance drive, managing officers of NRLDA's federated associations have appointed a total of 243 chairmen who are actively promoting Exposition attendance all over the country on state, district, and local levels.

Mr. Arnold, who will attend with Mrs. Arnold, is no newcomer to Exposition activitiee, having been a regular visitor to previous NRLDA shows. He has also been a staunch sup- porter of other industry work through the years, as an NRLDA director from Missouri, and president and executive committee member of the Southwestern Lumberrnen's Assn.

Cleveland show will offer, to examine first-hand so comprehensive a display of building products, services and equipment designed to help him toward bigger sales and moie profitable management of his business."

First space assignments for the 1959 NRLDA show were made April 1, and a bare 14 days later, three-fourths of the original exhibit area had been reserved. Additional floor space was first made available in June.

"We expect to be 'booked solid' long before opening dav." Mr. Collins said.

Strong Ook Flooring Demqnd Seen for Remqinder of '59

A forecast of continued strong demand for oak flooring throughout the remainder of 1959 and the welcoming of five new members highlighted the annual midsummer meeting of the National Oak Flooring Manufacturers' Association at Memphis, Tenn. President Walter J. Wood said that a heavy backlog of demand had been created by the exceptionally high volume of housing starts in recent months. A substantial time lag occurs between the beginning of construction and the need for flooring in a house, he explained.

;'Prospects are g'ood," he said, "for continuance of home building at or near record levels for the remainder of the year, with consequent strong demand for oak flooring."

July Housing Storts Down But Yeqr's Totol ot Top Rafe

Nonfarm housing starts fell to 126,000 in July, from 136,000 in June, according to preliminary estimates of the Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce. A moderate seasonal decrease usually occurs between Tune and July. The July 1959 starts totai was l2/o greater ihart

a year ago, and the highest record recorded for July except in 1950.

The 124,500 privately owned dwelling units begun in July represented a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,350,000-down a little from the estimated rate of 1,370,000 for both June and May. When averaged for the first seven months, the seasonally adjusted annual rate of private starts in 1959 amounted to 1,385,000, compared with the relatively low rate of 1,015,000 for the same 1958 period.

By the end of Jaly 1959, a total oI 843,700 new private and public dwelling units had been put under construction, an advance of 30/o over the first seven months of 1958, and almost the same as the seven-month record total of 850,100 in 1950. This year's private total (822,300 units) exceeded by 215,700 units the 1958 private total for the first seven months.

Trees ond Religion

The history of Buddhism, for example, places great emphasis on trees. We are told that Gautama Buddha, founder of that religion that once swept over most of the known world, sat a week under four great trees while he thought out the science of living that is called Buddhism.

The first week he sat and thought under the great Bo tree. The second week he sought the protection of the Banyan tree. The third week the Muchalinda tree furnished him shade. The fourth and last week he sat under the Rajayatana tree.

Then he announced that his studies were completed, and that he had discovered the eight-fold road to salvation,

Ralph Steffen has been associated with various lumber firms in the Southland since 1929. During the past three decades he has worked at all levels in the business, from remanufacturing to retail to wholesale. He is well known to all dealers and industrial concerns and is active in HooHoo Club 2. He will help build the new department specializing in Spruce and Pine, it was said.

Carl Dupray secured his basic training in the wholesale lumber field with the old A. K. Wilson organization at Dominguez more than 12 yearc ago. Since that time he has been active in redwood sales at the wholesale level and has been with Associated for the past year and one half.

"We have an experienced team and we plan further expansion in the Los Angeles area during the next year," Brauning said.

Two Southern Colifornio Gounties Poce Notion in Building

Southern Califorpia, led by Los Angeles and Orange Counties, is pacing the nation in new housing in ratio to its population, according to a study by the Building Contractors Association of California. The total volume of construction activitv. both nationallv and locallv. is sub-

stantially higher than last year, and gnly a prolonged steel strike could block a record year, said Dr. James M. Gillies, BCA economic advisor and assistant dean of the UCLA School of Business Administration.

He estimated that 101,500 housing units would be built in the two counties, or about 7.5/o of. the national total, during 1959.

"With only 3.8/o of the nation's population residing in the two counties, this high volume of new'housing plainly reflects the dynamic economy of the area and the confidence of the public in owning a home here," the housing economist said.

Members of the Building Contractors Association of California will average almost $1,300,000 in construction during 1959.

DIAMO]ID hil*fi €YPsUM WALTBOARD

Gypsum wallboard craftsmen know tlre importance of Blue Diamond uniformity. Uniform chnracteristics aid in the fast production of smooth, fire resistant walls and ceilings. Aniformity is a result of quality control.

Blue Diamond quality conbol begins with the grading of gypsum rock at the mines. I! carries through every step of gypsum wallboard manufacture to the ffnal placement of dunnage to safeguard its condition in tuansit.

Applicator craftsmanship and Blue Diamond uniformity join hands in producing smooth sokd, fire resistant _walls and ceilings.

the Specifications of the Timber-Storage unlt:

Dimensions : 36' x4' x8'

Capacity: 6M' of 24', ?8' and 32' timbers.

Cost: Approximately $250, of which $100 was for labor. Dunnage was used for cross-pieces, and doors and roof are of aluminum.

Key feature: A single timber may be withdrawn without disturbing other pieces, and down-grading due to weather deterioration is substantially reduced.

75 Years for C. Gqnqhl Yord

Twenty-five years ago, in the issue of September 15,7934, there appeared an item in The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT about the Golden Anniversary observance of tl-re C. Ganahl Lumber Co. of Los Angeles, Inglewood and Redondo Beach. That makes this year of 1959 the Diamond Anniversary of the fine old pioneer yard, still located in downtown Los Angeles. The article of 1934 reads in part:

"Commemorating the occasion, the C. Ganahl Lumber Co. has sent out an announcement, 'Half a Century in Business,' which reads as follows:

"'When this business was founded in the vear 1884. even the most ardent believer in the future of Southern California could scarcely have visioned the phenomenal development of Los Angeles and of its surrounding terntory.

"'We are proud to have contributed, in a substantial measure, to this growth through the distribution of building materials known always for their superior quality, and a service that has, at all times, adequately met the needs of a constantly growing patronage.

"'On this, our Golden Anniversary, therefore, we deem it appropriate to pledge a continuance of those policies and practices for which we have been favorably known over so many years, and to assure our valued customers and a host of friends that our name will always be associated with merchandise of outstanding value'."

(Editor's note : And it-and Connie Ganahl-still are. )

guests. According to President Garratt, tl-ris meeting holds special interest because of the extraordinary pressures on forest lands created by an exploding population in the west.

John Callaghan, assistant secretary-manag'er of the California Forest Protective Association, is general chairman on the meeting. R. Keith Arnold, director of the Pacific Southwest Forest Experiment Station at Berkeley, Calif., is program chairman. B. H. Payne of the U.S. Forest Service, San Francisco, is chairman of the Arrangements Commlttee.

The Society, founded in 1900, has 12,000 members. Its aims are to advance the profession of forestry and promote the r,r'ise use of forest-lands resources.

"Men are valuable just in proportion as they are able and willing to work in harmony with other men."-Elbert Hubbard *:r*

Socrates taught, nearly five-hundred years B.C., that a man only succeeded by the building and development of his own character, and that in order to do that successfully, he must be able to stand and'watch himself go by. He said that a man should look upon his own mind, his own character, as a thing apart, and he should sit ofr and watch its workings, and judge its development, its character, and its strength, in an entirely abstract manner. If he found that his mind was showing small weaknesses, such as anger, envy, jealously, fear, etc., he should realize its imperfections and go to work to build it up. So men have called that Socratic self-inspection. :F*

"It is so easy, so very easy, to misunderstand, misinterpret, misjudge. Give everyone the benefit of a possible error, and discount your own observation liberally. This is advice for all of us-for you and the other fellow-because the very advice we give and apply to others is an injunction we may need ourselyss."-J.

Fomily Housing Conference To Poll New Building Needs

Washington, D.C.-The same forces that drove the pioneers from the Atlantic coastlands to the plains and the far west, and today drive families from the crowded cities to the suburbs, can influence the choice of building materials in a house, according to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, an industry'sponsor of the Family Conference on Housing to be held September 15-17 in Washington, D.C. during National Home Week.

The NLMA, analyzing results of a similar meeting held here last year during National Home Week, sponsored by the Women's Housing Congress, Inc., and the National Association of Home Builders, found that the homemaker resents crowded conditions and naturally seeks more "living room" for her family. Crowded conditions tend to destroy the desire for proper upkeep and maintenance or improvement, results showed. Better-planned open neighborhoods of today, on the other hand, increase the desire to "make the house a home," delegates said.

The lumber association also found that the homeowner showed a sustained interest in the many qualities of lumber and wood oroducts used in home construction. Participants in this year's housing conference indicate they are still interested in the livability of wood as a major factor in the never-ending search for better homes.

Last year's group of 100 women, selected by local chapters of NAHB in 38 states on the basis of best essay about what the homemaker wants to see built into her home. expressed a desire to see more uses of wood products "because wood offers more warmth, comfort and livability than any other building material," consensus indicated.

Wood exterior walls, paneling, floors, kitchen cabinets, windows and doors as well as wood furniture contribute most to the livability of a house, results showed. Livability was described as "most pleasant living conditions."

Ten major industries supplying building materials to homebuilders co-sponsor the Housing Conference each year in cooperation with the National Association of Home Builders as a highlight of National Home Week observances throughout the country. This year's meetings will take place in the National Housing Center, Washington, D.C. More than 40 local chapters of NAHB will send delegates to the affair again this year.

NAHB also announced that this year's conference will differ from the last one by including participation by husbands as well as wives and a special panel of 10 teenagers who are expected to contribute many interesting ideas on tl-re use of basic building materials in home construction.

NEW LUMBER CARRIER PROVES ITSELF IN YARD SAVINGS

Berkot Manufacturing Co., North Hollywood, Calif., claims the neiv Berkot Lumber Carrier soon pays for itself in lumberyards, cabinet shops, warehouses, docks and furniture factories. The ,rugged workhorse can safely and accurately move lumber around the plant with less effort and increase production. The carrier is 60" long, 30' wide; 32" high at deck; corner posts are 15" high. Berkot-wheels balance and support the load at both ends; Lball-bearing casiers allow free movement regardless of weight. The corner posts insure safe movement of lumber that has a tendency to slide, yet are removable for an extra-wide load. The all-steel construction is engineered for durability, versatility, simplicity of operation. The two main support wheels are 40Ox8, 4-ply pneumatic tired with rated load capacity of 890 lbs., each with /4" heavy-duty ballbearings; all moving parts have grease fittings.

The balancing Berkot cart will not tip or dump loads; scientifically designed to reduce manual strain or lifting. Stakes are removable to allow handling of full-size plywood sheets, long lumber, narrow molding; stakes are chained to prevent loss. The short turning radius of the carrier allows fully-loaded cart to roll or turn easily in narrow aisles; one person can easily control fully loaded cart in narrow spaces.

'C. R. A. - Design for Growth'

More than 200 key redwood industry and Redwood Region community leaders were expected to gather at Santa Rosa, September 14, for a special lumber conference, the first of its kind, sponsored by the California Redwood Association. Industry figures attending the conference, held at Santa Rosa's Flainingo Hotel, represented all phases of the redwood lumber industry, according to Philip T. Farnsworth, executive vice-president of the California Redwood Association. The conference was to mark the first time that management, sales, production and forestry leaders of the redwood industry have assembled for a joint meeting.

Theme of the one-day meeting was "CRA-Design for Grorvth." The conference was organized to bring industry representatives more closely together to consider the serious inroads made by competitive plastics and metals into redwood industry markets. The conference was also intended to familiarize redwood leaders with the work being performed by the CRA to benefit the redwood industryin the fields of sales promotion, advertising, publicity, conservation and technical and research programs. A special day-long program was prepared for the meeting by the CRA staff.

Among .those attending the conference were Robert Pamplin, president of Georgia-Pacific Corp.; C. Russell Johnson, president of Union Lumber Company; R. R. Chaffee, president of the Redwood Region Conservation Council; Howard A. Libbey, president of Arcata Redwood Company and current president of the CRA, and Mortimer B. Doyle, executive vice-president of the National Lumber XIanuf acturers Association.

Other key figures expected to attend, all principal officers of their respective companies, include Jack Fairhurst, Fairhurst Lumber Company of California; C. H. Bacon, Jr., Simpson Timber Company, Seattle; S. A. Murphy, The Pacific Lumber Company, and Carl Diebold, Diebold Mills, Inc.

The morning session of the redwood meeting was to be devoted to a study of problems and challenges facing the redwood industry, and a review of how similar challenges have been overcome in the past. In the afternoon, a prog'ram was to show how the CRA and the redwood industry is competing to increase the demand for redwood lumber, even in markets seriously challenged by substitute materials.

A panel discussion scheduled during the conference luncheon was to be based on the theme, "What is Redwood's Market Position in the Years to Come?" Panelists included market research soecialists and architects.

lnterstote Commerce Gommission Officiqlly Okoys Lumber Rqte Cuts

Washington, D.C.-The Interstate Commerce Commission on $ugust 26 officially authorized the reductions up to 371/o in freight rates on carload lumber which hav-e been in effect since last December 2l pending outcome of the ICC investigation into their reasonableneis. The rates apply_ on lumber shipped by rail from Oregon into Northern California, Southern California and Aiizona.

The ICC allowed the reduced rates on minimum weights of 50,000, 60,000 and 70,000 pounds but found the new rites not justified on shipments of less than 50,000. The rail carriers had proposed the reductions to meet competition of highway and_ocean carriers, and to restore the iate parity between southern Oregon and Northern California shipperi that existed between 1927-54.

The reductions authorized last month would also establish pa-rity with_intrastate railroad rates on lumber ship- ments between California points.

The new rate schedules were originally filed in May 1958 but suspended.by the ICC for seven months before-being allowed to go into effect last December.

The Commission's decision ruled that the reduced rates would not adversely afiect other carriers "in a manner which would constitute destructive competitive practice.,, The ICC cited the substantial increase in recent- years in consumption of lumber and forest products in Cilifornia and Arizona, and said rail carriers have not benefitted from the increased demand for lumber and wood products in California and Arizona but had sufiered a subitantial decline in this freight traffic.

Construction Gontrocts Set New High for July

Contracts for future construction in the United States in July rose to a new all-time high for the month, rising slightly above the previous July record set last year, reported F. W. Dodge Corporation, construction news and marketing specialists.

Impressive gains in single-family houses, together with increases in all non-residential building types, bbosted construction contracts in July 1959 to $3,656,537,000, up one percent over the like 1958 month. Dr. George Cline Smith, Dodge vice president and economist, pointed out that, "Although housing once again sparked the increase, probably the most noteworthy feature of the July contracts was the very strong showing in the non-residential category. All non-residential building types were up in July, and for the fourth consecutive month, particularly large g4ins were registered in contracts for commercial and manufacturing buildings."

Contracts for residential buildings in July totaled $1,689,-

833,000, an increase of 9% over the same month last year. Chiefly responsible for the gain was a 19/o rise in contiacts for single-family houses. The total number of dwelling units represented by the residential contracts was 125,562, sp 4% over a year ago,

Cumulative totals of contracts for the first seven months of 1959 show residential buildings at $10,569,533,000, up 3l/o.

The hardwoods of the West are on the march, seeking a rightful place in the markets of America. They can hold their own against the hardwoods of any other section of the United States and abroad in beauty, relative strength, workability, finishing properties and adaptability. In the case of certain species, there is marked superiority in ease of working, non-splitting qualities and the ability to hold glue, nails and screws to better advantage.

Working Out Closer Tie-Up of Deolers qnd iAqnufscturers

A closer working relationship between the nation's retail lumber dealers and lumber manufacturers was seen as the outcome of a meeting held last month in Washington, D.C.

Representatives of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association and the National Lumber Manufacturers Association met in an all-day session to explore "Avenues of Cooperation on Local, Regional and National Basis."

Participating in the meeting for NRLDA were H. R. Northup, executive vice-president, NRLDA; Paul V. DeVille, DeVille Lumber Co., Canton, Ohio; Phil Creden, Edward Hines Lumber Co., Chicago, Illinois, and Russell W. Nowels, Nowels Lumber and Coal Co., Rochester, Michigan. For NLMA and the National Wood Promotion Program : M. B. Doyle, executive vice-president, NLMA; Loren F. Dorman, director of advertising and public relations; Gerald F. Prange, director, Technical Services division, and Glen W. Simon, merchandising and promotion manager,

"We are planning a ten-year program promoting lumber and wood products that will be as all-inclusive as we can make it," Doyle told the group, "and we need all the help and advice you can give us to be certain that the retail lumber dealer gets a full measure of benefit from the National Wood Promotion Program."

Northup said he felt that the meeting came at an opportune time because the dealers who are members of NRLDA realize the importance of group action and are most willing to present their viewpoints on a long-range program such as that contemplated by NLMA.

One major result of the meeting will be the establishment of an NRLDA Advisory committee to meet with NLMA staff members for an interchange of ideas particularly related to NWPP and retail lumber dealers.

Other topics ranged through merchandising, promotion, advertising sales training arrd communications related to tie-ins with dealers and NWPP.

Investigqtion of Unloqding Asked

E. T. Stanton & Son contends expenses at docks are .*....'i',',. and has askecl Southern Caliiornia's Congressional delegation for a federal investigation "of the causes for the excessive expense of unloading ships at Los AngelesLong Beach Harbors."

In letters to two seltators and 11 representatives, E. J. Stantorr & Son, Inc., 5975 S. Alameda St., through its executive officer, Leroy Stanton, Jr., said :

"We are just one of a considerable number of importers of lumber and other commodities who are seriously being threatened as to continuance of their businesses by conditions existing at the harbors.

"The need for attention is immediate, since the problem already has been far too long neglected It should have the immediate attention of those who are in a position to intelligently consider and act upon those practices which are so seriously jeopardizing our great harbors."

Stanton said l-ris firm, which imports up to 500,000 board feet of lumber monthly from the Philippines, appealed to Congress for action after receiving word from lumber firms in the Philippines that "steamship companies are becoming reluctant to carry cargo into Los Angeles due to exorbitant rates of handling,

The Guy Who Stubbed His Toe

Did you ever meet a youngster who had gone and stubbed his toe, An' was settin' by the roadside just a-cryin' soft and low, A-holdin' of his dusty foot, so hard and brown and bare, An' tryin' to keep from his eyes the tears a-gatherin' there?

You hear him sorta sobbin' like, an' sniffin' of his nose, You stop an' pat him on the head an' try to ease his woes; You treat him sorta kind-like an'first thing that you know, He's up an' off a-smilin', clean forgot he stubbed his toe.

Now 'long the road of life you'll find a feller goin' slow, An' like as not he's some poor cuss who's gone an' stubbed his toe; He was makin' swimmin' headway 'till he bumped into a stone, An' his friends kept hurryin' forward an' left him there alone.

fle's not sobbin', he's not sniffin'-he's just too old fer cries, But he's grievin' jest as earnest if it only comeq in sighs. An' it does a lot of good sometimes, to go a little slow, An' speak a word of comfort to a guy who's stubbed his toe.
