President C. Henry Bacon, Jr., announced Hal W.

ooMcClary is one of the recognized leaders of the forest products industry, and since coming with Simpson in 1955 he has created extensive trade relations with companies in the Philippines and the Far East," Bacon said. "Our company believes international trade must be developed for the long-range stability of our investments, employment and communities."

He has long been active in the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, National Lumber Manu' facturers' Association, Douglas Fir Plywood Association and other industry organizations.

McClary will be succeeded by John J. Connors as general manager of Simpson's plywood and door operations in Washington, Oregon and California. Connors came,with Simpson in 196l a{ter previous service with Brookings Plywood, Anacortes Veneer and other Northwest firms. He is a graduate of the University of Minnesota.

Seitz was stationed at Fort Meade, Maryland, as commanding officer of the 9l6th Engineer Group, a reserve Army unit from the Los Angeles area, sponsored by the Southern California Chapter of Associated General Contractors.

It was chosen from among twenty-six competing outfits and cited for superior performance in designing, and supervising the con' struction of bridges, buildings and roads. It's operations merited the Outstanding Unit Award. Prior to the award, Colonel Seitz was the personal recipient of the Army Commendation Medal. The presentation was made by Major General G. S. Duncan, Deputy Chief of Stafi for Unit Training and Readiness USCONARC, at the farewell ceremony for reservists at Fort Meade.

Bill, back in mufti after shedding his eagles and scrambled egg insignia, faces new engineering problems. His office, which Blue Diamond held open for him during his military stint, shows a desk piled high with work. He also has to make ooa thousand personal contacts" to reestablish the social and business pattern of a civilian career. Bill is busy, but as he says, "It's wonderfulI love it."
