John Rider reported a discouraging picture of the availability of display space at the Los Ang'eles International Airport, but reported favorably on the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, and indicated that the door had not been closed on the Lockheed Air Terminal in Burbank. Robert Graham reported that Ed Fountain is building 21 displays for 21 branches of the United States National Bank, including eight branches in San Diego.

T\ro retail lumber companies in Buena Park were cooperating in displays for the United States National Bank in Buena Park. The Committee is still working for display space in the Los Angeles Union Station and the California State Building. Display locations in Santa Ana were still under consideration. Mr. F enton volunteered to contact the wood boat industry and,/or the Wood Boat F oundation for displays in their own communities.

With further regard to obtaining additional public attention, F'rank Daluiso indicated that Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios would make film clips from which spot TY' showings could be made.

LeRoy Stanton reported for the Luncheon Committee that the time for the luncheon had been set at 12:00 noon, and that the scheduled program would commence at approximately L2:45 p.m.; the cost of the luncheon would be $1.75, including tax and tip, and that tickets would be sold in advance at $3.50, including tax and tip. The dining room capacity is 200, and an additional 40 could be accommodated. It was felt desirable to attempt to g:et about onehalf of the tickets in the hands of the wood industry, and the balance in the hands of other desirable industries, such as construction engineers, architects, etc. In line with this, it was suggested that the Chamber of Commerce try to arrange it as a joint meeting with the Engineering Consultants and Architects and Construction Industry groups. It was decided that the Public Relations Committee would cooperate fully with the Luncheon Committee in the printing of tickets and invitations.

Table decorations for the luncheon were discussed, and a suggestion was made to use small living trees as the most appropriate. Elmer Osterman. California Fire Prevention Coordinator at Riverside, graciously volunteered 20 small pine trees for this use and his generosity was immediately accepted with pleasure.

Stanley McDonald outlined progress with the retail lumber dealers' association, stating that two notices had already been printed in the Association bulletin, and reporting excellent reaction from dealers in general.

Robert GraJram reported excellent distribution of the bumper stickers, so good, in fact, that a re-run of about 5,000 additional stickers would be required.
