PICTURE OF' A MAN INSTALLING A CAL -WOOD DOOR

Oops! we missed him' By the time we had our film in and the shutter cocked, he already had this door installecl and was on his way to the next one.

That's the way it is with these CAL-WOOD DOORS. They go in fast. You've seldom seen such precision craftsmanship. And that's only part of the CAL-WOOD story. Soft pine stiles make it easy to drill and screw holes for the hardware. Interlocking all wood grid cores, bonded to beautifully textured, selected wood panels by premium glues, make a door that won't sag, buckle or warp and is a joy to behold.

CAL-WOOD DOORS come in many types. Contractors like them all for several reasons. First is the "quality look" they give a house. Second, the price is right in fact, very low for what you get, And third, CAL-WOOD DOORS mean definite savings on installation time.

All in all, it's pretty good business to sell CAL-WOOD DOORS. Maybe vve think so because we sell so many of them. In fact, we had to build a big, new plant to serve the door needs of the entire West. Now, we'd like to do business with you. Your orders will be handled promptly, carefully and to your satisfaction. Try us and see.

Toxes Totol $98 Billion

Taxes collected by all governments in the United States-Federal, Sta-te, and local-in their fiscal- years that ended during 1958, totaled 998.3 billion, or ibout the _same as in the previous year, according to a report made public today by the Bureau of the Census, -De,. partment of Commerce. A drop of $1.8 billion in Federal tax revenue was largely offset by a $1.5 billion increase in tax collections of State and local govern. ments.

Tax yields amounted to about $568 per capita in 1958, somewhat below the 1957 per capiia amount of $579, but higher than in earlier ylars. -

Good luck is the gayest of all gay girls, Long in one place she will not stay, Back from your brow she strokes the curls, Kisses you quick, and flies away.

But Madame Bad Luck soberly comes, And stays-no fancy has she for fittingSnatches of true-love songs she hums, And sits by your bed, and brings her knitting.

Hoo-Hoo Convention Flosh

Duluth, Minn.-Dick Grant of Vancouver, B.C. was elected Snaik of the Universe at the 68th annual convention of the International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo here, Sept. 13-16. Snark Grant. said to be the first Canadian ever to hold the highest elective office in the lumbermen's fraternity, succeeds New Mexico's Bob Gallagher after one of the most active and successful terms any Snark has ever had.

Californians seen at the convention included Rameses Dave Davis, ex-Snark of the lJniverse, from San Francisco Club 9; Harold Cole, Harvey Koll and D. C. Essley, Los Angeles Cllub 2; Jack Berry, Custocatian on the Supreme 9, from Sacramento Club 109, and Bill Seeley and Lysle Siebert, San Diego Club 3.

It is reported that Harvey Koll was elected to the new Supreme 9 for 1959-60, representing Jurisdiction VI.

The 69th annual convention, in September 1960, was set for Hot Springs, Ark,

"Now blessings light on him that first invented sleep;

it covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak; it is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot. It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap; and it is the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise man even. There is only one thing, which somebody once put into my head, that I dislike about sleep; it is, that it resembles death; there is very little difference between a man in his first sleep and one in his last sleep."

wrote Thomas ;uff"r"ln r * cervantes'

"I think f knew General Washington intimately and thoroughly. Perhaps the strangest feature of his character was prudence, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed, refraining if he saw a doubt, but, when once decided, going through with his purpose whatever obstacles opposed. His integrity was most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known, no motives of interest or consanguinity, of friendship or hatred, being able to bias his decision. lle was, indeed, in every sense of the word, a wise, a good and a greatman...

"His temper was naturally high-toned, but reflection and resolution had obtained a firm and habitual ascendancy over it. If ever, however, it broke its bonds, he was most tremendous in his wrath. His heart was not warm in its affections, but he exactly calculated each man's value and gave him a solid esteem proportioned to it. His person, you know, was fine; his stature exactly what one would wish; his deportment easy, erect and noble; the best horseman bf his age and the most graceful figure that could be seen on horseback. On the whole, his character was, in its mass, perfect; in nothing bad, in few points indifferent, and it may truly be said that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great, and to place him in the same constellation with whatever worthies have merited an everlasting remembrance."

For econom'ical woodwork ... s'trggest SUGAR

PftYE

easa to hqndle, work and nuil-and it lasts for Aears

SUGAR P7NE is easy to install-and maintain. Lightweight and even-textured, it provides superior workability for maximum on-the-job economy. In use, it holds its true lines and resists small scufis and scratches, gives years of trouble-free service.

In either its clear or knotty grades Sugar Pine is particularly attractive when finished naturally, protected only by wax, linseed oil or clear varnish.

For economical woodwork, handsome and durable, you can recommend Sugar Pine with complete confidence. It is always carefully dried-assuring more accurate sizing and improved working qualities, insuring lower maintenance costs.

The west Santa Ana retail yard of the Hammond Lumber Company is booming these days under the experienced guidance of Don Bellamy, manager, and Don McMains, salesmanger, of the progressive merchandising building materials concern.

In the storage yard of the 5-l acre plant, everything is available to the homebuilder and contractor. It makes no differeirce if the need of the customer is iust a few boards. a panel or two or material for a full-tract development, the Hammond staff is alert and trained to the situation at hand. "We carry complete stocks for the week-end remodel job as well as a two-million b.f. inventory to service builders and contractors," said Manager Bellamy.

The Hammond Santa Ana retail facility is located in the heart of Orange county, reputed to be the fastest-growing area in the Southland. It requires the services of five trucks, several mobile units of yard equipment and a six-car Pacific Electric spur track to keep material flowing to the various jobs.

"Our volume is unlimited," said Salesmanager McMains. "Anything from a single board to a trainload, or truck and trailer load, can be handled by our effrcient staff," he continued. At present it recuires 2O vard and ordermen to handle the ever-increasing- volume 'of materials moving through the yard.

In addition to the various standard items of softwood lumber, this retail establishment stocks hardwood and softwood panels, roofing, shingles, paint and builders hardware. It is a one-stop builders' supply house "and what we haven't got in our inventory we will obtain immediately from one of our other locations," said Manager Bellamy.

Gqfqverqs Gement Gompony's 1959 Shipments Running Aheod of '58

Calaveras Cement Company's shipments of cement in 1959 to date are continuing to run ahead of what they were a year ago, president Wm. Wallace Mein, Jr., reported at a company stafi meeting Sept. 15. Mein said the Calaveras plant at San Andreas is operating at maximum capacity.

He predicted that an anticipated decline in public works cluring 1960 will be more than offset by increases in private construction. In Northern California, he pointed out, the trer-rd of per capita use of cement has risen at a slightly higher rate than that of population increase since 1950.

Thirty-two key sales, production, and executive employes of the company participated in the meeting, which was conducted by Mel J. London, Calaveras vice-president in charge of marketing. Vice-Presidents Grant W. Metzger and Arnold M. Ross and Plant Manager Orrin Weeks were among those making reports.

WOOD CONVERSION INTRODUCES NEW BALSAM.WOOL PANEL INSULATION

A new insulation product designed for exterior application to walls has been introduced by Wood Conversion Company, St. Paul, Minnesota. Called BalsamWool Panel I nsulation, it is available either in continuous rolls 8 feet wide for application to tilt-up or similar framing, or in single sheets for application to 4' x 8' panel framing (such as Lu-Re-Co).

This newest insulation blanket has a reflective aluminum liner and a kraft paper liner which are bonded to opposite sides of the insulation mat. The insulation blanket is designed to provide a minimum fi" air space on both sides of the insulation blanket in the finished wall. The fire-retardant mat is protected against infiltration of wind and moisture by a tough kraft paper liner facing the exterior air space. The reflrctive liner is specially bonded with asphalt to the insulation mat and forms a continuous vapor barrier. The reflective liner reduces heat loss by reflecting 83/o of the heat rays crossing the air space by radiation. The insulating mat effectively reduces heat loss by conduction and convection.

Formerly known as Builders Blanket with Reflective liner. Balsam-Wool Panel Insulation has been thoroughly field tested in the colder areas of the country over the past several years with outstanding success.

With damage-free, open shipment possible, Georgia-Pacific has taken advantage of the speed and convenience of truck-sliipping by starting regular runs betv/een its wide-spread Pacific Coast operations. The "rig" userl for these king-size shipments is a Freightliner tractor and Peerless 35-foot trailer.

The 128th monthly tournament of Dubs, Ltd., was held at the beautiful Meadow Club in Marin county, August 21, with newly installed Prexy Paul Gaboury presiding. In addition to the usual tournament, each year at the Meadow Club the Dave Davis Perpetual Trophy is awarded to the golfer with the best five scores during the year.

This year's winner and keeper of the trophy for the next year was none other than Millard "Doc" White, veteran San Francisco lumberman and one time Denver Open champ. After several years of tournament golf, "Doc" stored his "sticks" for more than 30 years and onlv recently did he take them out of storage fo become an a'ctive Dubs participant. Runners-up to White's five best of 331 were Walt Hjort and Fred Ziese.

Feature shot of the day was an "almost double eagle" by Tournament director George Monnier on the 510-yard

Leo Hubbard of the Hayward Lumber & Investment Co., Los Angeles, is conducting this first Workshop at the Mayfair hotel, Los Angeles. The first session was on Thursday evening, Sept. 17, the second on Sept. 24, and this topic will be concluded with the third class on October 1. This Workshop covers Materialmen's Liens, Bonds, Stop Notices, Collection Laws and related matters. The large class in attendance when the accompanying photos were taken seemed to be applying the heavy concentration and hard work necessary to get the full benefit of the course.

Mr. Hubbard, secretary of the old Hayward lumber lineyard firm, has done a very thorough job in preparing the material for the course, reports Orrie W. Hamilpn, SCRLA executive vice-president. The SCRLA published the material in a very complete text book, bound as a permanent volume, which was distributed to each enrolee for use in his daily work.

Lumberyard personnel satisfactorily completing all the SCRLA Workshops will be given awards at the next annual convention, in April 1960.

locke Succeeds Hcrll As Director Of U.S. Forest Products Lqb

Madison, Wis.-Dr. J. Alfred Hall retired August 31, as director of the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory here and will be succeeded by Dr. Edward G. Locke. chief of the world-famed instituiion's division of wood chemistrv for the past eight years. The retiring director said he will tate up residence in Portland, Ore., where he will do consulting work for industrial concerns in the forest products field. In a facetious vein, he added that "duck-hunting on the Pacific flyway has become so much better, and the Mississippi flyway so poor, that I feel a change of climate is indicated." He retires as only the fifth director in the nearly half-century that the Laboratory has been in existence. He began his Forest Service career in 1930. In 1937 he was appointed assistant director of the California (now Pacific Southwest) Forest Experiment Station at Berkeley.

Dr. Locke is a past national president of the Forest Products Research Society, which has national headquarters here. With the organization of the Forest Utilization Service by the Forest Service after World War II he was put in charge of the Portland unit. Since coming to the T aboratory, Dr. Locke has stressed the need foi making ' fuller use of the nation's timber resources. They have frequently pointed out that chemical utilization would afford markets for much wood now unusable or lost as milling refuse.

Gqrdiner to Aid Bleile

Appointment of Charles S. Gardiner, Jr., as assistant to Earl Bleile, general sales manager of Roseburg Lumber Co., is announced by Kenneth W. Ford, president. Gardiner, now performing his new duties in the home office at Roseburg, Ore., joined the company in 1957.

'Forest Products Dqy' of the Cqliforniq Stote Fqir

Hoo-Hoo, the "sleeping giant," is awakening ! The fraternal brotherhood of fun and good fellowship, some 14,000 strong, has been jolted into action at both the national and local level with the formation of a new Wood Promotion Committee, spearheaded by Supreme Custocatian Jack S. Berry of Sacramento.

With "Wood Promotion" as the theme of the Duluth convention, held just two weeks ago, the new Wood Promotion Committee held the spotlight throughout that 3-day confab, during which several plans of action were drawn up for the promotion of wood on a national scope, and at local levels through guidance of individual clubs.

Hoo-Hoo Club 109 Promotes the Show

Suitably, it was Berry's home club, Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club 109, that stole the show in promoting the forest products industry last month. Pressing for a National Forest Products Week (and why not, when you consider "National Onion \Meek," "National Be-Kind-To Crabgrass Week," and other such goodies?), Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club 109 was successful in selling the idea of having a "Forest Products Day" to the officials of the California State Fair at Sacramento, which drew nearly 1,000,000 people during its run September 6 through 13.

The selection of September 9 as Forest Products Day couldn't have been -oi. .ppropriate. Besides incorporating the Hoo-Hoo "9," the day fell on Admission Day, the 109th year of California's admission to the Union, coincidentally ihe sa.tre digits as sponsoring Club 109 (established during 1939, if you want to carry the "9" business further).

Feotured speokers (lower phoio) included the Rolph L, Smifh lumber Compony's A. Bristow Hood (ot the mike), ex-president of ihe Weslern Pine Associotion, represenling the forest producfs industry; Mr. Hood proised definiie steps token by Hoo-Hoo Internotionol to ossist the NWPP in wood promotion ot both the noiionol ond locol levels in view of the fact that just such agencies have long been maintained by wood's growing list of competitors.

While this theme, along with the long fight for a National Wood Promotion Program, has been voiced many times be-

Forest Products messoge ond confest informotion wos stopled on eoch block by Ceccheltini's Copitol Lumber Co.

Forest Products Day, captained by General Chairman Seer C. D. LeMaster, got off the ground on an industry level with a no-host luncheon at the picnic grounds, near the Governors Hall, with several short talks by leading speakers. Among them were Francis Raymond, representing the State Forestry Dept., Charles A. Connaughton, regional forester for the IJ.S. Forest Service, and DeWitt Nelson, State Director of Natural Resources. Feature speeches were given by A. B. Hood, NLMA director and general manager of Ralph L. Smith Lumber Company, and Henry Hill, noted San Francisco architect.

Architect Criticizes the fndustry Hill, while" an avowed wood enthusiast and admittedly a friend of wood, nevertheless criticized the industry for its lack of coordination in getting adequate up-to-date information about wood to the nation's architects. He deolored the lack of a central agency or body where architects-could get quick answers to*their specification problems especially

fore, Hill's suggestions were timed perfectly, for on either side of him were two men directly responsible for just such a program-A. B. Hood, a leading figure in the National Lumber Manufacturers Assn., central agency for the National Wood Promotion Program, and Jack Berry, chairman of the newly founded Hoo-Hoo Wood Promotion Committee.

Following Hill's straightforward talk, Mr. Hood sincerely thanked him for "some of the best constructive suggestions we've received so far" and promised Hill that his thoughts rvould receive prompt attention by both NLN'IA and Hoolloo International.

With the industry sessions thus concluded on a note of achievement, Club 109 turned its attention to the production of a spectacular tree-topping event which will- not be soon forgotten by the more than 7,000 people who witnessed the claring of World Champion high climber, Danny Sailor, of Nortl-r Surry, B.C.

In all, it was a "good show," one which stressed the importance of Forest Products to literally tens of thousands of Fairgoers and, through excellent press coverage, carried

story of the Forest Products Industry to possibly as many as a million readers all through the efforts of just one local club. Leads one to think. doesn't it?

Al{ention All Bounty Hunters!

The "WANTED" posters that just made their appearance in the Lake Tahoe area will not interest vou : instead they are designed to speed deliveries in fast-growing lake areas which have outgrown street-naming and house-numbering programs.

The plan is being tried by Nevada Lumber Company of Tahoe Valley and is the brainchild of Stewart (Bud) Adams of Nevada Lumber in cooperation with Pete Kelley's public relations-advertising firm of Carson City.

Customers at Nevada Lumber who desire deliveries are given one of the colorful WANTED signs by the clerk. Then they go home, nail it up in a conspicuous location and await delivery of their purchase.

Nevada Lumber Company deliverymen say the plan really works, in that it helps them find the right place with Iittle or no delay.

Adams, who works at Nevada Lumber summers and who graduated from Stanford university last year, says the poster plan will portray to the customer "Nevada Lumber's desire to serve."

And he adds that the plan is a boon to the "weekend builder," giving them fast-delivery service. At the same time, he theorizes, it builds a better relationship with the people Nevada Lumber Com-

pany serves.

At any rate, hit-both with men.

L.A. County Construclion Continues Aheod of '58

Total valuation of construction in Los Angeles County during 1959 continues to maintain a decisive margin over comparable figures last year, reported the Los Angeles Cl-ramber of Commerce. President J. E. Fishburn, Jr., citing figures in the July construction report compiled by the Chamber's research department, stated that building activity for the January-July period is ahead of '58 by 6.I/o.For the first seven months of 1959, total valuation hit $864,970,500, as compared to $814,372,000 a year ago.

In comparison with the average month, the July 1959 total of $121,026,371 is good, Fishburn pointed out, but doesn't compare favorably with the all-time, one-month high established for Los Angeles City and County in July 1958, which was $165,072,200.

Other seven-month figures reported by the Chamber show 1959 ahead of '58 in residential valuation, number of dwelling units and number of single units. The only compilation category to fall behind '58 for comparable JanuaryJuly periods was in the number of multiple units.

Residential valuation was up 2.7/o, from a 1958 figure of $375,326,900 to a current $385,493,200. Total number of dwelling units rose to 40,220 from last year's 39,381, an increase of 2.1/o. A big jump was experienced in the number of single units as 78,937 were recorded, corhpared to 15,116 last year, a 25.3/o rise. Multiple units were down 11,.1% from the 1958 total of 23,935 to a current figure of 21,283.

For the single-month comparisons, July 1958 was ahead of last month in all categories with the exception of single units. The number of single units recorded a year ago was 2,335, while 2,832 were recorded this Jrrly.

Residential valuation was down 26.7%, from $68,352,900 to $50,755,741. Dwelling units were down 51.5% lrom 7,470 to 5,030, and multiples were down 57.2/o, from 5,135 to 2,r98.

The world's first baseball park designed to include extrawide, "fan-fitting" seats for the ultimate in spectator comfort, is nearing completion in San Francisco, California. When the Giants move into new Cancllestick Park, fans will sit in the most comfortable, modern and widest stadium chairs in the world. A total of 40,000 comfort-contoured seats, 20 to 22 inches wide, ratl,er than the usual l9-inch seat, are being installecl by American Seating Company, world's largest producer of public seating.

The stadium, when completed, will have more width seats than any other ball park. This assures comfortable seat, regardless of indiviclual size or variations. Placed side-bv-side. the seats would form tinuous row,27 miles long.

. The seats, with riser attached to facilitate cleaning and washing down stands after games, are designed to require

a minimum of maintenance. A special water-repellant chemical treatment of the natural wood finish seats protects them from damage and warpage due to rain or dampness. This saves San Francisco taxpayers an additional sum in original painting and periodic repainting of the 320,000 individual pieces of selected hardwood contained in seat backs and rails.

The largest single order for stadium seat installation on record, a total of 300,000 board feet of lumber was required to mauufacture tl,e Candlestick Park seats. The 300 softtextured elm trees, harvestecl for the wood, if laid end to end, would reach a distance equal to six times the length of the Golden Gate Bridge.

To transport parts for the 40,000 seats, 34 railroad boxcars carried 296 tons of cast-iron seat standards, 5,000 pounds of aluminum nuts and bolts, lumber, and other seat parts from Grand Rapids, Michigan, home of American Seating, to San Francisco.

"Never rob a man of his illusions," says an old philosophy. True. We all have 'em. We knew a man who used to say that when he retired from business he was going to spend the remainder of his days trying to find a man whose barber had not told him that he had the toughest beard in town. That's a common illusion.

It would be interesting to delve into the dim reaches of history to discover the originator and author of the sales slogan, "Anyone can cut a price but it takes brains to make a better article."

As far back as you can dig you find business men using that remark. As far back as the 15th century we find the great scholar Erasmus selling bibles with that same slogan.

An Editorial

Plywood up qnd At 'em

Plywood producers, pressed by growing competition from aluminum, plastics, steel and concrete, are doing something about it. Component parts, highway signs, refrigerator doors, aluminum-plywood components-these are just a few of the items they say you'll be seeing more of in the near future.

But a pertinent fact along this line is that many a man has created a better article, and then had to sit and watch some superior salesman crowd him out of the market selling an inferior product.

It happens every day. It may be true as the old saw says, that "Virtue hath its own reward," but it may not be the sort of reward that will keep its possessor out of the bankruptcy court.

The fact is that the road to success lies in making a better article and then getting a better salesman to handle it. Then the more the production department improves upon the article, the more the crack salesman will sell and, continuing the circle, the more incentive the firm will have for making a still better article.

Privqle Housing Storts in Augusl Highesr for Month Since | 95O

Nonfarm housing starts rose to 129,000 in August from 126,000 in July, according to preliminary estimates of the Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce. Publicly owned dwelling units accounted for practically all of the increase. The August 1959 starts total for privately and publicly owned units was 6/o greater than a year ago, and the highest recorded for August except in 1950.

The l24,8OO privately owned dwelling units begun in August were almost unchanged from July, though a moderate seasonal increase usually occurs between July and August. They represented a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,340,000, down a little from the estimated rate of 1,350,000 for July and 1,368,000 for June. When averaged for the first eigbt months, the seasonally adjusted annual rate of priva-ti starts in 1959 amounted to' 1,379,000, compared with the much lower rate of 1,042,000 for the same 1958 period.

By the end of August 1959, a total of 973,400 new private and public dwelling units had been put under construction, an advance of 26/o over the first eight months of 1958, and somewhat below the 8-month record total of 992,000 in 1950. This year's private total (947,000 units) exceeded by 225,W0 units the 1958 private total for the first eight months.

AWI Plons 7rh Workshop Convention

ChicagoThe Architectural Woodwork Institute has completed plans for its 7th Annual Workshop convention here, October 13-16, with the millwork men scheduled to concentrate on better management methods as a major key to holding a fair and profitable share of the building rrtarket in 1960. "Blueprint for Progress" is the convention theme.

Guests to address the convention will include D. Kenneth Sargent, dean of the School of Architecture of Syracuse University, and J. Stewart Stein, president of the Construction Specifications Institute. More than 300 members and guests of the AWI are expected at the Chicago meeting. All sessions will be held in the LaSalle hotel. AWI membership now includes more than 500 quality millwork manufacturers and their suppliers in the U.S., Canada and Australia.

Brass-tacks sessions of the 4-day workshop will center on topics of prime interest to AWI members. Management control and shop practices will be handled in panel dis-

cussions. Workshop seminars will cover promotion and selling, pre-finishing, detailing and office practices, cost estimating, school furniture and laboratory equipment.

The October conclave will mark another year of progress for the AWI in getting millwork men to work together in selling wood and rvood products against the sharp competition each faces from other building materials. As an association, the AWI is a member of the National Wood Council and a report on NWC progress will be a part of the conventlon program.

A primary focus of AWI attention has been the architect, both residential and commercial, and much successful promotion is directed to this profession. Another AWI goal has been improvement in methods used by millwork men to estimate, to plan and to detail. The type of millwork members produce is a custom product and increased costs all along the line have re-emphasized the need for accurate figuring.

Election of new officers, a breakfast honoring sustaining members and a modest amount of entertainment for accompanying wives will round out the AWI program.

Norco Offers Deolers'One-Stop Service'

Norco Distributing Company, 1329 Fee Drive, Sacramento, recently completed a second big expansion of its three-year-old plant, now considered one of the largest_installations of its type in Northern California. The new aclclition houses a complete plumbing and heating division clesigned to facilitate the handling of a substantial increase in plumbing and heating inventories. The expansion also makes possible the use of the company's main warehouse for moie efficient, centralizecl storage ancl distribution of building materials.

Norco was established in 1953 at 1800 24th Street ir.r Sacramento, but soon outgrew its quarters there as the firm underwetrt a rapid expausion program. Construction of the present'ivarehouse, showroom ancl administrative builcling was begun in the sllmmer of 1956. In September of the same vear. the firm moved into its rlew qtlarters, sitttatecl

in a mushrooming industrial tract immecliately adjacer-rt to the Roseville Freeway.

"Since moving into these modern quarters, our company has macle two major expansions," explained Colman Schr,vartz, general manager. "Our expanded plant nor,v offers better than 175,000 square feet of storage area."

Norco now employs seven outside salesmen and operates a large fleet of trucks running regularly scheduled pool truck cleliveries to all points from Stockton arrcl Tracy on the soutl-r to Valleio on the rvest. Medford ar-rcl Grants Pass in the north, ancl ileno and Carson City in the east.

Offering regular "one-stop service," No..o supplies dealers witl-r leading national lines in the builcling materials, plumbing, hardware and electrical fields. Scl-rwartz notes that by keeping pace with the rapicl grorvth of the Northern California area, the company is endeavoring to take care of the building material dealer's every need "rvhen he needs it"-and at competitive prices.

Home Builders Predict Need for 2 fflillion Houses o Yeor in 6Os

Washington-Th. leader of the private home building industry says tlie nation must get ready for a dynamic decade of growth and be prepared to make it a period of "orderly dynamism." Carl T. Mitnick of Merchantville, N.J., president of the National Association of Home Builders, said the challenge will not be met by a "hit-or-miss approach by industry, or by failure of the government to grasp the meaning of the times."

Mitnick said the 60's will witness the long-expected population growth, stemming largely from the high birth rate following World War II, and the family formation 20 years later. "During the 60's," he said, "this nation's need will reach at least two million new housing units a year and the need will grow and grow."

He said statistics point to "one certain fact: an enormous number of people are going to have to be housed-and housed properly-in the years ahead. We have arrivecl, therefore, at the point-and none too soon-when we must PLAN."

The Government's interest in a healthy housing industry also is evident, he said, and all branches must think and act now for the future.

" there is the collateral effect that a booming industry will have on the nation's economy as a whole," Mitnick continued. "The theory has been advanced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics that every house built accounts for putting 2l men to work for one year-one in the factory, one on the site, and one-half in utilities and community facilities. If we advance to the two million figure-700,@0 more than we are currently building-the industry could add 1,750,000 to the employment rolls. Government cannot help but heed such a cogent economic factor."

As for the homes themselves, Mitnick said those produced in the next decade must be "efficient, well-built, and pleasant to live in. This calls for sharp technological thinking. We must become more and more research-minded. New products, new materials, new methods, must be evolved so that we can produce a better house at less cost. If there is any thought that there will be a shortage of skilled manpower, we must concentrate on making up for it mechanically. Machines can fill the gap. A11 we have to do is fit the machines to the job that needs doing."

The Two Sill,ies

The Wall Street Journal once said that after listening to political debates for some time, it was reminded of the two sillies who went bicycle riding. The first dismounted and let the air out of his rear tire. "The seat is too high," he explained.

The second dismounted, seized a wrench, loosened the handlebars, turned them in the opposite direction, and tightened them again.

"Vt/hy did you do that?" asked the first. Said the second: "I'm going back. I won't ride with a fool like you."

Sobotage

During the days of Hitler, the revolt against the new order in Norway spread to the chicken coop. A Norwegian farmer who owned 30 hens was ordered to deliver their eggs to the Gestapo headquarters. Two weeks later he wrote the Gestapo:

"Your order was posted in the hen house, so that the hens themselves could see it. When, in spite of this, they refused to lay, I had them shot for sabotage against the Third Reich."

Thorequ Soid:

As long as a man stands in his own way, everything seems to be in his way-government, society, and even the stars and planets; the only real obstacles to our happiness are wrong thoughts and emotions.

His Trouble

The boy stood on the burning deck, Whence all but him had fled. He looked around, said, "\Mhat the heck, The whole crew must be dead."

But modern magazines now give The ad-man's diagnosis, The crew just couldn't stand the boyThe kid had halitosis.

Not I

Preaching interminably on the immortality of the soul, the Parson said: "I look at the mountains, and cannot help thinking, 'Beautiful as you'are, you will be destroyed; but

the Wonted to Know

It was a pretty shoddy-looking shirt, but it was the best he could find at the time, so Jones bought it. Inside the garment he found a slip of paper on which was written a girl's name and address, and the message: "Please write and send me your photo."

He did, and got this note from the girl:

"Thanks for the photo. I've made a lot of these irummy shirts, and just wanted to know what kind of a looking guy would wear one of them."

Too Technicol

John Doe, traveling salesman, was reading a letter from his wife.

"This is what I get for marrying a school teacher," he told his friend. "Listen to this:

" 'Dear John: I notice that you have addressed me as 'Dearest Lucy.' Now either your grammar is bad, or else you are not a good husband. If I am the only Lucy you have, the 'dearest' is not correct. And if you have more than one Lucy, you've got something to explain when you

G-P Storts Integrotion of the Booth-Kelly Properties

Portland, Oregon-Georgia-Pacific Corporation has taken the first step to develop its recently acquired Booth-Kelly properties. President Robert B. Pamplin stated that Georgia-Pacific is immediately starting construction of a new plywood plant adjacent to its lN%-owned Springfield Plywood Corporation plant and the newly acquired BoothKelly lumber mill. These plants will all share the use of the large log storage pond and sorting boom at Springfield. In addition, chipping equipment is being added to utilize the waste wood from all three of the Springfield plants and the pulp chips will be shipped to Georgia-Pacific's paper mills at Toledo, Oregon, some 85 miles distant. The productive capacity of the company's paper and containerboard production at Toledo is currently being doubled and the expansion will be completed by mid-1960, in time to utilize the additional raw material from this wood waste.

This is the first step in completely integrating the Springfield properties, Mr. Pamplin said. In discussing these plans, Mr. Pamplin stated, "This new plywood plant will be of the latest type construction and will include the latest technical developments for effrcient plywood manufacture and will be completed in the spring of 1960. It is the first step in better utilization of the Booth-Kelly timber since the high grade peeler logs, which were formerly sawed into lumber in the Booth:Kelly sawmill, will be diverted to the new plywood mill and to Springfield Plywood Corporation, providing greater utilization, and the sawmill will operate on logs from the timber harvest not suitable for the manufacture of plywood. The new mill will have a capacity of 10 million square feet of plywood per month and, due to the high quality of the logs, will be almost 100/o high-grade sanded production."

The new production will be marketed through GeorgiaPacific's 61 distribution warehouses and sales offices throughout the country, as well as through its overseas outlets in 36 countries.

Mr. Pamplin further said, "At the time of our acquisition of the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company, we stated that our ownershio would increase emolovment in the area rather than decrease it. The new plani *itt aaa approximately 2N employes at the outset and this number will probably be increased in the future."

The mill will have a floor area of 180,000 square feet, and included in the equipment will be two large lathes, four automatic dryers, as well as other modern equipment for plywood manufacturing.

Senior-Citizens Housing Proiect

Mayor Norris Poulson gave the green light Sept. 15 to encourage the construction of housing for senior citizens; the development of a means of financing recoustruction in all rehabiliiation areas and a review of any hardship cases due to the urban renewal activities, after a comprehensive report submitted to the mayor by his Citizens Urban Renewal Advisory committee through its chairman, Irvan F. Mendenhall.

"fn the city of Los Angeles, we have 225,000 senior citizens," said Mayor Poulson. "I have discussed this matter with the chairman of the Community Redevelopment Agency, William T. Sesnon, Jr., with the view that the Agency consider setting aside a portion of the land in future urban renewal projects for senior citizens' housing and to continue this policy in other projects where it is economically feasible to do so."

The committee heard a talk by Don Emmons, noted Sau Francisco architect, whose firm is developing the Capitol Towers area in Sacramento which involves removal of a semi-slum district and the construction of new, moderr.rized buildings over a large area southwest of the State Capitol building. It can be done in Los Angeles in Bunker Hill arrd other appropriate areas, Emmons said, adding that the city can profit by errors and mis.takes made in Sacramento at the start. Slides illustrated the explanation of the multimillion dollar project.
