NORTHER,N CAT]FORNIA TUMBERTilEN'S 6TH ANNUAL GOIF TOURNAMENT

Hats off once again to George Duff, general manager of Cal-Ida Lumber Company, for his fine work in organizing the 6th Annual Northern California Lumbermen's Golf Tournament ! Enjoying the largest turnout of golfers and dubbers yet, the tourney was played at the Sierra View Country Club in Roseville on Septembbr 8. Nearly 200 lumbermen participated in the event which included a banquet that overflowed the club's big dining room and soilled out into the terrace area where-the late comers enioved the balmy weather and excelfent vittles.

An outstanding part of this year''s tournament was the awarding of trophies rather than golf balls, etc., to the tournament winners. Figuring that a trophy would give a fella' something a little more permanent for his efforts, Duff personaily awarded some 53 trophies to the tournament "deadeyes."

From start to finish it was fine. wellorganized tournament with just about everyone in there swatting away from the mid-7O's to, shall we say, the "low 100's."

SolidPly-lntersfqle Contqiner's New Concept

2-4-l Tongue & Grooved 4 Edges SOLIDPLY, manufactured by Interstate Container Corporation, Red Bluft, California, introduces an entirely new concept in a complete plywood panel floor system.

Because the first two plies are solid wood, punch-through by pointed or heavy objects is eliminated. SOLIDPLY is tongue and grooved on all four edges, assuring an unbroken floor surface.

4 Edge SOLIDPLY eliminates protruding edges caused by twisting and shrinking. This product is fully sanded on the face. Because the sanded surface provides a smooth panel, plaster, dust, and other dirt do not cling to the floor installation. This means easier clean-up and minimizes printthrough, even with pliant floor tile.

oll four edges to provide complete edge support wirhout blocking.

SOLIDPLY, edge sealed to protect against moisture and p^."JTt^ joint swelling, js manufactured to surpass rigid ? F I A requirementa. It is available through iuthoriied distr_ibutors, and comes in the regular 4,x8, \jze. SOLIDPLY can be furnished in thickneJses up to Zf,', and,in 4, lengths for staggered alignment.

Most lumber grading in the \Mestern Pine region is done u_nder a special lighting arrangement worked out by the Western Pine research laboratory. It combines side and overhead lighting in exactly the right proportion for showing all lumber characteristics. "If we don't see them now, they aren't there," one grader declared after his shdkedown shift under the new lights.
