Redwood Mqnqgement Explqined

Thirty men representing the California Redwood Association's Board of Directors, Tree Farm Committee and Redwood Information Committee and guests repr€senting the U. S. Forest Service, the American Forest Products Industries, Inc., and the North Coast Tim,ber Association have visited member mill working forests in Humboldt and Del Norte counties to observe curr€nt management programs and progressive re-growth of redwood.

The two-day tour, arranged by CRA's Tree Farm Committee Chairman Gene Hofsted, forester for Arcata Redwood Company, included visits to current and 1959 redwood production sites oI Miller Redwood Company, Simpson Timber Company, Arcata Redwood Company, Georgia-Pacific Corporation and The Pacific Lumber Company.

Company foresters and logging superintendents described present redwood forest management programs and pointed up the successful re-growth of added volumes in "leave" trees and the replenishing of the forests from natural and aerial seeding and sprout growth since 1959-and earlier-logging operations. Regrowth volumes averaging more than one thousand board feet per acre per year were observed. (Preliminary figures from the upcorning U. S. Forest Service Survey indicate that the net annual growth of redwood saw timber on commercial forest lands for 1962 was 620 million board feet as compared with 396 million board feet in 1952. This represents a 56 percent increase in ten years.)

Based on this tour, and a planned future tour of redwood operations in Mendocino County, facts and figures will be published by the California Redwood Association through its Redwood Information Committee for use in apprising the people of the U. S. and their legislators of the importance to the North Coast Counties of the redwood timber economy and its enduring quality. A series of one- and two-day "show-me" tours for publishers, writers and legislators is planned.

Big Ben Sqsh & Door Growth

Fast, regular ocean shipments by barge from Southern Oregon and the Columbia River direct to Southern California.

Now, over 5,000,000 feet of dimension lumber and studs monthly . . manufactured especially for Southern California construction needs.

Art Neth would appreciate an opportunity to tell you how you and your customers will benefit from using dependable D & R dimension and studs. You can reach him by calling TRiangle 3-2668 or STate 3-0544.

Marvin Slater, Big Ben Sash & Door Company executive, has revealed that his firm is completing a quartei million dollar improvement program started early last summer.

In expanding the plant facilities, Big Ben installed one of the largest San Antonio rigid pole buildings in use in the southern counties area. The expansion program also includes new remanufacturing machinery throughout the plant.

The new warehouse will be equipped with a new idea in loading docks for faster, more efficient handling of shipments. "This will increase the ready-to-load frames inventory by 100/o and will eliminate delay in pick-up and deliveryo" said Mr. Slater, "and we will maintain the largest stock of built-up frames in California at our Los Alamitos plant," he continued.

In addition to the huge investment, the expansion program means additional personnel in both production and operation, along with expanded administration and sales. o'We have shown a steady growth serving the retailer and we will continue to distribute through legitimate channels of trade only," Marvin Slater summed up.

New McKinleyville Building

Arnold Nielsen, owner of Arcata Building Supply & Millwork and Nielsen's Hardware at McKinleyville, broke ground last month on a new store building in McKinleyville, next to the Safeway market. The new building will have 10,000 sq. ft. of display area, including a repair shop for Nielsen's Honda franchise (which has,been a gold mine by the way).

LMA's Pomeroy Resigns

The resigrration of Jack Pomeroy, executive vice-president of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California, was accepted with deep regret by the association's executive committee on September 18. LMA president Clair Hicks, who made the announcement, chaired the special meeting of the executive committee which was held at the Jack Tar Hotel in San Francisco, headquarters of the big nortlern California retail lumber trade association.

Pomeroy joined LMA 17 years ago, when it was then headquartered in Fresno. During the ensuing period he has been credited with the building and strengthening of LMA, today one of the strongest and most influencial regional trade associations in the NLBMDA network. Besides his effective leadership and management of the many facets of LMA activities, Pomeroy also took an active part in legislative matters and has become a familiar face around the capitol city of Sacramento. fu a result of his legislative knowledge, and activity in all levels of the industry, he was also a member of the executive committee of NLBMDA at Washington, D.C.

LMA field man, J. R. ooBob" McBrien, has been named temporary executive vice-president until another meeting of the executive committee convenes.

Stqndqrds Commiftee Chonge Urged

The House small business subcommittee has been told by an anti-standard group that broader representation of all segments of the industry is needed on the American Lumber Standards Committee.

Miles W. Davidson, chairman, special lumber grades committee of the Lumber Association of Southern California, said "the Iopsided lack of objectiveness in the present outmoded lumber standards committee completely negates any reasonable chance of determining standards that are palatable on an industry-wide basis."

Ralph D. Hill, also representing the southern California association, urged that the committee include retailers and users o{ lumber.

The committee named by the secretary of commerce, some time ago recommended a new set of lumber standards. The Commerce Department refused, saying it felt the voting did not represent a favorable consensus.

The House subcommittee is looking into the impact of this action upon small business.

James Forqio of the Shaw and McClelland Mill & Lumber Co., Ingiewood, said the proposed new standards would result in increased costs which would have to be passed on to consumers.

Mqchine Grqding Group Forms

Five lumber manufacturing companies have established a temporary organization-informally called the EMSR MachineGraded Lumber Committee-to promote, jointly, the understanding and use of electro-mechanically stress rated lumber.

Pooling information, the cooperating firms seek to expand the uses for precisely rated structural lumber products in the residential, light commercial, and industrial construction fields. and to open up.opportunities in other areas.

All five companies use the same basic electro.mechanical stress rating system, and expect to produce nearly 100 million board feet in EI\'ISR by the end of 1964.

The committee members are: Bohemia Lumber Co. (Rickini Div.) Culp Creek, Ore.; Boise.Cascade Corp., Boise, Idaho; Frank Lumber Co., Mill City, Ore.; Potlatch Forests, Inc., Lewiston, Idaho, and Simpson Timber Co., Seattle, Wash.

Uniform Stud Lenglh Adopred

After a year and a half of study and discussion the Lumber Association of Southern California has voted to adopt a standard stud length of 92Y2" for distribution to the construction industry in their area.

The study included talks with the Lath 'and Plaster Institute, Drywall contractors and retail and wholesale lumbermen.

A 92L/2" stud will allow for u 96r,,8" ceiling height from finish hardwood floor to finish plaster ceiling. Present FHA requirements allow a 96" height, as does the Los Angeles City Building Code. The Uniform Building Code will allow a 7'6" ceilirg.

The standard length was adopted after discussing the various sizes stocked by retail lumbermen. It was found that most yards carried five sizes but the one called for most was 92t/2,, long.

By adopting this length, it will provide better service to the contractor as all studs coming to the job will be the same length. - Errors have occurred and walls have been nailed up with at least two different stud lengths in one wall. In addition, the new standard length will allow far faster invenI tory turnover, whic-h means the studs received on the job will be bright and clean. Regardless of the gradeo a load of dirty studs looks like poor quality and can create a bad image for both the supplying lumber dealer and the using contractor. This standard size will also mean that the dealer has the right size in stock. Many times a dealer orders studs for a particular job and the reguirements on the job are greater than anticipated. When an order is placed for the additional quantity the right length may not be available. The dealer either orders again, or if he has longer ones available, cuts them to length. In either case it can mean delay to the job as the job may be many miles from the source of supply. A yard in the vicinity of the job will now carry the same length stud as the ones purchased originally for the job.

Adoption oI the 92L/2" length was completed October I, 1964. It is another step by the lumber industry in southern California to service the large contractor market better and more efficiently;

Forests of Brozil Described

o'Forests and Forest Industries of Brazil," a new booklet issued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture's For'est Service, brings together for the first time many facts and figures covering that forest-rich nation.

Forest lands in Brazil encompass 93I million acres, about 44 percent of the country's total area, but only 15 Percent of this acr,eage-much of it in the southern part of the country-is being commercially utilized. Broadlea{ species (hardwoods) occupy more than 95 percent of the total {orest area.

"Forests and Forest Industries of Brazil" presents an up-to-date and comprehensive report of the forest resources of Brazil and of the forest products industries to be found in that country. Forest industries account for about 5 percent of the value of Brazil's total industrial output, the booklet points out.

Copies of "Forests and Forest Industries of Brazil," Forest Resource Report No. 16, may 'be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 20402. The price is 40 cents.

First Southern Pine Plywood Shipped

An important milestone for the South's new pine plywood industry was reached when Old Hickory Box & Lumber Co. of Nashville, Tenn. took delivery of the first carload of pine concreteform plywood ever shipped to a customer.

The shipment was announced by Georgia-Pacific Corp., whose mill at Fordyce, Ark., produced the plywood. The mill, first in what has become the South's {astest growing industry with several mills either planned or under construction, has been producing sheathing and regular sanded grades since last December.

Concrete-form plywood until now has been available only {rom West Coast fir mills. It is a special high quality grade that must meet the strictest water-proof glueline and strength specifications, G-P said. Such pancls are used to form concrete structures ranging {rom {oundations to bridges and high-rise buildings.

"The new pine panels prove feasibility of using carefully selected Southern pine timber for the most rugged plywood uses," according to G-P. "They have passed the same American Plywood Assn. quality tests required of West Coast fir plywood to meet commercial standards published by the U. S. Department of Commerce. All panels carry the official DFPA grademark."
