Atanlen*nt* You Should Know Edwin s. Zitdeman o( \(/hite

Brothers

Edwin S. Zittleman, widely known as,,Zit,, amongst the lumber trad'e in Central California, was born in Menominee, Wisconsin, and grew up with a strong love for the industry which was so prominent in this section of the country. As a boy he worked for the Badger State Lumber Company in Menominee and later transferred his services to the O & N Lumber Company which operated a string of yards in Wisconsin.

In 1925 he decided to find out for himself if there was a place where he could be warm in wintertime and cool in summer and accordingly he moved to California and settled in the East Bay Region. He went to work for the Southern Pacific Company in 1926 and remained there until 1929 when his old feeling for the lumber business got the better of him dnd he became associated rvith White erothers where he has been ever since.

For the past twenty-three years,"Zit" has been a familiar figure on all sides of San Francisco Bay and in the North Central portion of the State and his many friends can and do depend on his knowledge of lumber and his uncanny ability to recommend'and furnish the proper grade of lumber for each particular job.

Mr. Zittleman _is married and is the father of a boy and girl both of whom have recently graduated from high school in Oakland and are now employdd there. His hobby is baseball and he spends many a happy hour supporting and defending his favorite team, the Oakland Oaks. He has also been very active in the Cub Scout and Boy Scout movement in Oakland and is at present time a District Commissioner.

August Housing Starts 991000

Non-farm housing starts totaled 99,000 during August, a decline of 5,000 units, or 5 per cent, from July, according to preliminary estimates of the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. The July-August decrease was almost all in privately owned new. housing, which declined from 102,4A0 units in July to 97,600 in August. However, the August estimate for both total and private non-farm housing starts was about 11 per cent above the August 1951 figure.

The relatively high level of housing starts in August brought the total thus far this year to 77I,300 new units, 1,700 above last year's estimate for the same months. Private starts have been exceeding last year's volume every month since February, and by the end of August totaled 724,mO, almost 20,000 units more than were begun during January-August 1951. Public housing totaled 47,300 units for the first B months of. 1952, about 18,000 units (or 28 per cent) under last year's volume for the same period.

Preliminary estimates indicated that August was the third consecutive month in which total housing starts (both private and public), on a seasonally adjusted basis, fell below a rate of 1,200,000 units. The seasonally adjusted annual rate for August was 1,035,000, compared with 1,088,000 in July and 1,063,000 in June.

Local police are tracing meager clews on a burglary committed at the Foxworth & Galbraith Lumber Company, Needles, Calif., on the night of August 11.

Harold Fleming, manager, said the thieves entered the store through a back door of the second floor. They smashed the money box on the coke machine and took one box of ammunition. A shotgun was taken-from a wall case and was found on the floor of the office. Various tools were used in trying to open the steel safe and were scattered about the.floor of the office. In the attempt to open the safe hack saws were used on the hinges. An electric drill was also found on the floor near the safe but evidently it had not been used.

Chief of Police Bland said all finger prints had been wiped off of everything touched by the thieves. The robbery was discovered when the store opened for business the next morning.
