Convention Concat Applauded

No Hoo-Hoo convention is complete without a concat and-again at Denver, the concat was an important part of the program. Laurels go to the Denver Hoo-Hoo Club for putting on one of the finest exhibitions and ritualistic ceremonies. The serious ritual was given by a team attired in summer formals with each member having learned his part and giving it without reference to the book. Another team took care of the junior work and did a splendid job putting the kittens through their paces with stunts that were distinctly original and quite amusing to the assemblage. All in all, it was one of the finest concats put on by Hoo-Hoo. 22 kittens w-ere initiated.

Ladies Attend Sessions-Hear Speakers

Every minute of the 3-day convention was filled with activity. The ladies joined with the men in several luncheons which were addressed by able speakers. At the Monday luncheon, Dean Cecil Puckett of the College of Business Administration, University of Colorado, spoke. His talk fitted nicely into the educational program of Hoo-Hoo. He, too, pointed out the cooperation between the industry and colleges and as in Colorado, the College of Business Administration. At the Wednesday luncheon, in recognition of the ladies present, the speaker was Eudocia Bell Smith, whose talk "Westward Ho-The Women," brought vivid word pictures of pioneer women of the great west and particularly of the Denver area. The ladies also attended the closing ceremony of the senysnfisn-the embalming of the snark. This farewell tribute to the retiring Snark of the Universe was conducted by the Seer of the House of Ancients, C. D. Le Master, 29727, Rameses D, with the supreme nine and all the past snarks present, taking part.

Boy Scouts-Underprivileged Children

Join Hoo-Hoo-Famous Red Rocks Theater

One of the highlights of the social activities of the convention was the mountain trip. Chartered busses took all in attendance through the scenic mountain area, .culminating at Red Rocks Park where a chuck wagon dinner was ofiered, followed by a visit to the Red Rocks Open Air Theater and the presentation of the Koshare Indian dances by the Boy Scouts of America-Explorer Troop 2230. At this performance, various scout troops, orphanages and underprivileged children, as well as all the families of Denver lumbermen were the guests of the Denver Hoo-Hoo Club. The great natural amphitheater with 80O0 people was a most inspiring sight, a never to be forgotten experience.

Tribute to Harry Kendall

The convention paused in its deliberations to ,pay silent tribute to Harry Kendall, 12284, who passed away during this Hoo-Hoo year. The industry recognized Harry Kendall as a great leader. Hoo-Hoo knew him best as the Head of the Hoo-Hoo- fmmortals, a name and honor conferred in recognition of his splendid work as Head of the Hoo-Hoo Reorganization Committee. Resolutions of commemoration were passed paying tribute to this beloved brother. The necrology of the year recorded the passing of close to 100 Hoo-Hoo brothers and all were remembered in resolutions of tribute.

Appreciation-Trade Press and fndustry

A special tribute was paid to the trade press for telling the story of Hoo-Hoo and publicizing its activities. A big factor in Hoo-Hoo accomplishment is the sympathetic, unselfish and understanding reporting on the part of our trade publication. Special tribute also was paid to the secretary of state and regional retail associations for Hoo-Hoo concas and activities on their convention programs.

Denver set a high standard in this 1952 convention. One that will be hard to beat. The Minneapolis delegation, as well as the Houston committee agreed that their job will be difficult for 1953 and, 1954. They promised, however, to make an effort to at least equal this great 61st annual as put on by Denver.

Ceiling Prices for Western \food Preserving Industry--Pressure Process Only

Washington, D. C., Sept. 16-New ceiling prices for the western wood preserving industry were announced today by the Office of Price Stabilization.

The ceilings are established on pressure treating services and forest products preservatively treated under pressure, when the treatment is performed in the United States west of the 100th Meridian, or in any part of North and South Dakota. The 100th Meridian extends southward from the Dakotas through Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and divides the country roughly in half.

The new ceilings are prescribed in Ceiling Price Regulation I7O, effective September 22, 1952. It is a companion regulation to Ceiling Price Regulation 157, which covers the treating industry in the eastern half of the United States.

The regulation applies to the products of 28 commercial pressure treating plants operated by 21 companies. In 1947 the value of commercial treating services performed in the area covered'rvas approximately $14,700,000.

The industry treats lumber, poles, piling, posts, bridge materials, railroad ties, wood flooring blocks and other forest products with preservative as a protection against insects and decay. Treatment is performed in retorts under pressure, and consists of forcing oil or water borne preservatives into the products. Treatment increases the life of forest products from three to 10 times.

The purpose of the regulation is to provide the industry with equitable, uniform and more readily identifiable ceiling prices. Ceilings for treating services established by the regulation are approximately at the average levels established by individual treaters under the General Ceiling Price Regulation (GCPR), which froze prices on January 26, 1951, except that they will reflect increased cost of preservatives and certain freight increases.

There have been 500,000 family-dwelling units (singlefamily homes and apartments) built in Los Angeles County in the seven-year span since VJ-Day ! That's more than the combined totals of the dwelling units in Boston and pittsburgh today.

These remarkable survey disclosures by the research department of the Security-First National Bank of Los Angeles prove these two impressive facts: (1) The wonderful job by the private building industry, community development and real estate business in this region. (2) The unceasing desire for homeownership and wish to reside in Southern California. (From Los Angeles Times.)

Court Holds Interesting Decision Regarding Timber Cutting

The U. S. Forest Service office in San Francisco, announces that it has just won a very interesting judgment with regard to the cutting of timber by contract on U. S. Forest lands.

A district court held that contractors who fail to cut all the timber covered by a cutting contract are liable for the full difference between the original contract price and the price at which the Forest Service would be able to resell the uncut timber.

A judgment was entered by the court against a lumber company which has been cutting U. S. Forest timber in California, and against an indemnity company.

Change in Realty Profits Tax Aids Buying of Homes

(From Los Angeles Times)

Reports from various real estate brokers indicate that the new "'personal residence sale and purchase,, tax rule has definitely fulfilled, its purpose of facilitating the purchase of new homes. A brief illustration will pinpoint the serious tax defect that this provision was designed to correct.Smith purchased a home in the late 30s for $15,000. While the residence was adequate for his family at the time of its purchase, his family since has outgrown it. He wishes to buy a new, larger and more modern home for his family. He is confident that he can handle the financial details of the purchase (despite the greatly increased costs of construction) by: l-Selling his old home and applying the sales proceeds to the purchase price of the new residence;

2-Applying a portion of his savings to the cost of the new home and taking out a mortgage to cover the balance. Only one thing stops him from going ahead with his plans. He expects to make a large profit on the sale of his old house. The tax on this profit (amounting to several thousands of dollars) represents an additional financial burden that Mr. Smith does not feel capable of assuming at the preseni time.

It was to eliminate this tax obstacle-one that has frustrated the purchase of many thousands of new homes in previous years-that the "personal residence sale and purchase" tax rule was incorporated into the law. The provision cures this defect by providing that the profit that a taxpayer makes on the sale of his home will not be taxed to him provided that he satisfies both of the following conditions: l-He purchased a new home at a price r,r,'hich either equals or exceeds the price at which he.sold his old house, and

Z-IIe tirnes the purchase of his new home to fall within the two-year period beginning one year prior to the date on which he sells his old home and ending one year after the sale.

In the event that the taxpayer ends up rvith money in his pocket on the deal-that is, he gets more for his old home than he pays for the ner,v one-his profit rvill be taxed to the extent of the differential.

This is a brief explanation of a provision rvhich has many ramifications. A taxpayer who constructs a new home may likeu'ise claim its benefits; co-operative apartment owners are likervise affected by it.
