Northern tUlerchonts Pqrtoke in Ookland Do-lt-Yourself Show

This year the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California is tripling the size of its exhibit in the DoIt-Yourself Show to be held November 10-20 in the Oakland Auditorium.

Jack F. Pomeroy, executive vice-president, said the theme of the association's exhibit will be "Know Your LumberKnow Your Lumber Merchant," and the exhibit designed by Pomeroy's assistant, Don Wilson, will display the many species of lumber commonly sold in retail yards and identify the selection of sizes and grades in each.

This theme was decided on from the experience gained in exhibiting at the '54 show, where Pomeroy and Wilson found that the prospective consumer has a tremendous yearning to know more about lumber uses, grades and sizes.

Names of the LMANC members and their localities will be attractively displayed, urging the public to see their "Dependable Local Lumber Merchant" for their materials and assistance in planning and developing their projects from a dream or an idea into a home improvement or better living reality.

One attraction of the booth will be the replica of Thunderbird Totem hand-carved from western Red Cedar and furnished by the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association. All other materials required to make this attractive display are being furnished by LMA members.

Pomeroy states that it is very gratifying to note the cooperation of other manufacturing groups such as the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, Western Pine Association, California Redwood Association, and the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, who are furnishing promotional and informative literature to be distributed free of charge to the public.

Visiting R.upsions See Opening Of Nqrionql Housing Center

When the ten visiting Russian housing officials participated in the formal opening of the new National Housing Center in Washington, October 3, they saw equipment and materials for Americah houses that proved novel and extremely interesting to them. Radiant heating, for example, used to keep sidewalks and driveways free of ice and snow, ought to catch their attention.

Soviet Ambassador Georgi Zaroubin and the visiting delegation were special guests at the dedication and opening of the Center. The events started their nationwide tour to inspect American home building and construction methods. They are visiting the United States at the invitation of the National Association of Home Builders and represent the second Soviet "team" to visit the U. S. following the Geneva "summit" talks.

A11 exhibits in the Housing Center are of the "island type" as distinguished from booth-type displays. One exhibit makes it easy for homemakers to select harmonious color selections for the interior or exterior of a home by operating a simple mechanism which changes color schemes in completely furnished miniature roo'ms. Still another exhibit shows the man-of-the-house how to build small structures, with complete plans and instructions available.

Shortly after visiting the National Housing Center the Soviets started a four-week tour of housing in American cities as guests of NAHB.
