I have been taking The California Lumber Merchant magazine for quite a number of years, having been manager of the Hayward Lrunber & Investment Cornpany's Yuma, Arizona, yard for a number of years.

I see in your October I issue that Leo Hubbard is conducting a class on Lien Laws. Having known Leo, and worked with him since 1937, I attended many meetings he conducted on Lien Laws. I consider him the best authority on Lien Laws and I am sure those attending the classes received great benefit.

I notice in your article that the Southern California Retail Lumber Association will publish this in book form. Would you please tell me where I could se-ure one?

Cqliforniqns See Jqponese Typhoon Disoster; Plywood Industry Hit

The goodwill trip of nine Los Angeles officials t9 N_agoya, Japan, late in Septernber, unfortunately coincided with the disastrous Typhoon Vera which Japanese officials estimated would cause between 5,000-8,000 deaths. All members of the tour, which included Lumber Dealer Frode B. Kilstofte, pi.tia."t oi tn" Rossman Mill & Lumber Co., Wilmington, Lert to rishrl were reported safe. Mr. Kilstofte also serves on several ll6i! civic bodies (see Page.39). . ".

City councilmen and Harbor commissioners in the group riit'tial', reported that many people were still trapped on rooftops, Frode B. a week after the typhoon, and that relief workers were run- Kil'tofte ning out of vaccines that they hoped would curb the spread of cholera and typhoid in the desperate situation.

The Los Angeles group had taken along several exhibits as a goodwill gesture, and 80/o of these, which had

just been unloaded on the docks at Nagoya when the typhoon struck, were ruined.

Gordon D. Ingraham, managing secretary of the Imported Hardwood Plywood Assn., San Francisco, reported word received from Japan that approximately 80 plywood mills in the Nagoya area, supplying both domestic and export sales, were damaged in flood and high tide. With 1,150,000 homeless of Nagoya's 2,500,000 population; 3,300 dead and an estimated 1,900 missing, even the mills attempting to get back into production could get less than half their workers back after they have solved the more immediate problems of their own homes and families.

It was reported early in October that it woulcl be six to eight weeks before the 75 or more most seriously damaged mills would be back in production, and that, to compound the disaster, lumber shipments awaiting loading on the docks were all washed away and lost in the sea.

The IHPA sent a cablegram of sympathy to the Japan Plywood Manufacturers' Assn. on their losses in the disaster, expressing the hope that they and their families had escaped the tragedy.

The following message was sent to the regular and "user" members of IHPA by Hans Rainer, president: "Dear Fellow Member;

"The Typhoon that struck Japan seriously hurt many of those mills whose reliability as to quality and performance has been a considerable source of our livelihood during the last years. Now more than ever a part of their livelihood depends upon you and me.

CRA Elects Johnson President At Vitol Sonto Roso Conference;

New Promotion Push Plonned

C. Russell Johnson

(right), president of Union Lumber Company and third generation member of a prominent redwood lumber family, was elected president of the California Redwood Association at the annual Board meeting, held in midSeptember at Santa Rosa. He succeeds Howard A. Libbey, president of Arcata Redwood Company, Arcata. Re-elected executive vicepresident was Philip T. Farnsworth. Gilbert L. Oswald, general manager of Simpson Redwood Company, Arcata, was elected to the board of directors, and Willard E. Pratt, San Rafael, was elected secretarytreasrlrer succeeding Selwyn J. Sharp, who is entering partial retirement after over a quarter-century of service to the redwood industry.

The new CRA president, a native of San Francisco, is the grandson of C. R. Johnson, founder of the Union Lumber Company at Fort Bragg, Calif. He is the son of the late Otis R. Johnson, who was president of the California Redwood Association in 1949 and 1950, and was a long-time member of the CRA board of directors.

Mr. Johnson started working for Union Lumber in 1935 following his graduation from the University of California, where he majored in business administra-

tion. He was called to active duty with the U.S. Army Air Force as a 1st lieutenant in 1941, was discharged ftom active duty in 1946 with the rank of Maior. FIe returned to Union Lumber Company as executive vice-president in 1946, and was elected to the cornpany's board of directors in 1947. He was named company president in 1957, succeeding his father.

Mr. Johnson is a member of the board of trustees of the Foundation for American Resource Management; a director of the California Forest Protective League, and a member of the Advisory committee for Jackson State Forest. He is an alternate director of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, a trustee of American Forest Products Industries. Inc.. and a member of the American Forestry Association.

Special to The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT

Santa Rosa, Calif., Sept. 14-The prosperity of the Redwood Region "is being challenged very seriously by an invasion of all lumber markets," was the warning issued delegates to a special Redwood Industry Conference here on September 14.

The challenge was defined by Howard A. Libbey, president of Arcata Redwood Company and retiring president of the California Redwood Association. Libbey said the "unprecedented prosperity" which the Redwood Region has known since the close of World War II is challenged through a market invasion by manufacturers of fiber, plastic, metal and even mineral and laminated products.

"flow well we, as a pioducing region, stand*up to these challenges is going to determine our economic well-being for the next decade at least," Libbey declared. He said the first step the redwood industry should take in meeting its challenges "is that we determine to meet them together rather than separately."

More than 2N top redwood industry leaders attended the conference, held at Santa Rosa's Flamingo hotel. The meeting was sponsored by the California Redwood Associa-

tign to acquaint key redwood management and sales representatives with the serious inroads being made into redwood markets by lumber's highly aggressive competitors ; and to outline the research and promotion steps being taken by the CRA to combat these competitors.

The one-day conference was the first industry-wide meeting ever attended by representatives of management, sales, production and forestry phases of the redwood lumber industry.

A close look at the competition facing the redwood industry was provided by Gene Harrington, chairman of the board of the advertising agency which handles the Association account.

"The latest estimates show that the use of wood siding in the current year-1959- will actually be 3/o below last year," llarrington said, "while aluminum and synthetic materials will show a substantial increase. And there are other ominous clouds on the horizon. Even with construction at an all-time high, total lumber production is actually l5lo less than it was 50 years ago."

Harrington listed the serious losses to lumber substitutes experienced by wood sheathing, wooden joists and flooring, shingles, wooden lath, wooden frame windows, and exterior sicling. These losses, according to Harrington, instead of representing a temporary fickleness on the part of public and trade taste, are "the first f ruits of intensive, wellplanned and heavily financed marketing efforts on the part of our competitors."

How the California Redwood Association is attempting to promote redwood "with a smaller voice, with less money than our competitors," was outlined by Philip T. Farnsworth, CRA executive vice-president. "Add to this the fact that redwood not only wishes to'compete with these other

materials, but has set its goal as achieving a superior position, a preference in Jhe market which will justify a premium price and a greater return to the producers," he said.

"With such a set of requirements," Farnsworth continued, "the only possible answer is to substitute ingenuity for great amounts of money and to demonstrate a quality in each promotion piece or published advertisement which enhances the concept of quality with which we wish to have the audience regard our product."

Farnsworth also soelled out the effectiveness of the redwood industry's advertising and promotion programs. "Despite the challenge by lumber's competitive materials," he said, "the redwood industry has surged far ahead of the total lumber market in terms of increased production and increased product value." In one year, 1957, the extent of this forward surge put $46-million more back into the redwood producing communities than they would have realized had it not been for the half-century of market development

"Children," said the Sunday School teacher, "what parable do you like best?" And little Johnnie quickly answered: "The one about the multitude that loafs and fishes." * * *

A splendid tree story is told by Andre Maurois about the late Marshall Lyautey, who was sent to Morocco as Governor many years ago. One day as he was riding through a forest of gigantic cedars he came to a spot where a tornado had knocked down a whole patch of these big trees. He called his head men to him and ordered them to replant the trees that had been destroyed. One of the natives said to him: "Sir. but it takes two thousand years to grow one of those trees." "Then," said Lyautey, "there is no time to lose. We must start planting at once."

A happily married "orr.f," frolr"o. delivered a graduating address to a class of young men, in which he gave this advice: "Gentlemen, many of you will marry. Let me entreat you to be kind to your wives. Be patient with them. When you are going out together, do not worry if she is not ready on time. Have a good book near by. Read it while you wait. And, gentlemen, I assure you that you will be astonished at the amount of information you willacquire." * * ,<

Michael Faraday, one of the fathers of our electrical age, was giving a demonstration before the Royal Scientific Society of London. A rising young politician named Wm.

Mechanical engineers tell us that it takes just six times as much power to start a flywheel in motion as it does to keep it going after it has started. In other words, it takes just one-sixth as much effort to keep it going after it gets started; so every time a man starts a job and then stops to rest a bit before starting again, it takes that six-times effort over again.

One of the bitterest critics of higher education was Bobby Burns, the immortal Scot. Once he wrote: "A set of dull, conceited hasps, confuse their brains in college classes; they gang in stirks, and come out asses, plain truth to speak; and, syne they think to climb Parnassus-by dint o' Greek." -

The most versatile man in the history of the theatrical profession was the late lamented George M. Cohan. One day while he was rehearsing, a famous English theatrical man dropped in and Cohan showed him around. "Who wrote this play?" asked the visitor. "I did," said Cohan. "Who wrote the music?" Cohan said, "I did." "Who is producing it?" "I am." "Who is your leading man?" "I am." "And your leading lady?" "My sister." The amused Briton asked: "And do you paint the scenery?" "Oh no, my father does that," replied Cohan.

Pole-Frome Building for Retoil Yqrd Showroom

Pressure-treated, pole-f rame yard showroom ? Why not ?

That's what Dealer Jack Hibbert began planning his new sho.wroom Davis. California.

Sure, the pole-frame method has been used in thousands of installations uD and down the state, but in most cases only for commercial and farm-storage and warehouse structures. A finished building such as a showroom might be another story but, cost being important (and when isn't be Dut, cost Delng I it?), Dealer Hibbert decided to give it a try.

Hibbert's srand oDenins, Iune 19-21, wt grand opening, June was a suecess in every department, with an unusually high percentage of unusually of (U.C.

The heavv attendance oartiallv to sood. tending. heavy to good, strong pre-opening publicity, but mostly because Jack Hibbert fias worked long and hard to earn the resPect of these people.

Wtrite the usual Open-House specials-drawings, refreshments and manufacturers' demonstrations-prevailed, the outstanding part of the opening was the building itself.

Co-designed by Los Altos Architect George Drake and Dealer Hibbert, the 3200-sq. ft. structure compares ite favorably with conventional buildings of the same qurte tavorabty wrth burldrnf size costing two to three times as much !

The building is supported by three rows of penta-treated poles (eight to a'row), each sunk into the ground. Poles were tied together for roof

BAXCO pressure treated Foundation Lumber has been safeguarding thousands of rVestern homes against termites and wood-rot. Pressure treatment locks in the chemical protection for keeps. And when you figure, Paul, that just

one repair bill, caused by rot or termites, can run into hundreds of dollars-well, why take a chance ? Especially since BAXCO Pressure Treated Foundation Lumber adds so little to the total building cost-just a few dollars. . .

Hibbert Lumber Company's move to 5th & G Streets ends a two-year stretch of doing business across the street in pretty rugged temporary quarters. Hibbert originally started his business at 3rd & I Streets in Davis 12 years ago but, in May 1957, this yard was leveled by a disastrous fire. llence the move to temporary quarters until planning and construction of the new yard could be completed.

Dealer Hibbert came by the lumber business naturally, having been born in the lumber community of Sterling City, ivhere his dad, Irving Hibbert, was employed by the Diamond Match Company, as it was then called.

The Hibbert family later moved to Klamath Falls, Oregon, where Irving worked for the Pelic_an Bay Lumber eompany and Klamath Lumber & Box Co., and Jack became more and more interested in the lumber business. Later, the Hibbert family moved to Cleveland, where Jack went on to graduate from Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware. Ohio. He then moved back to California in 1941 . just in time lor a 4-year stint with the USAF.

During the war, Hibbert definitely decided on the retail lumber business as a career 4nd, after his discharge in 1946, wasted very little time in putting this plan into motion. The establishment of Hibbert Lumber Company in Davis was made via Hollister, where he put in one year with McKinnon Lumber Company learning the rudiments of the business.

A member of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California, Hibbert is a well-known and popular figure in local civic circles, having served as councilman aid later ,rnayor of Davis. To know your business you must know your community and, in that respect, Hibbert enjoys an enviable position.

While the sledding has been tough at times, especially that night during May 1957 when he was forced to starrd by and watch his whole yard go up in smoke, Hibbert has fousht back to win a notch with the hundreds of progressive- California lumber merchants who have weathered an era of uncertain distribution patterns and trade infringements to come back strong and regain that key position in their communities.

Giqnt Wood Promotion Push of Hoo-Hoo Annuol

Enthusiastic delegates at the 68th Hoo-Hoo annual eletted R. W. "Dick" Scott, Vancouver, B.C., Canada, as the 1959-60 Snark of the Universe. Scott, a past Supreme Nine member, has worked hard to build Hoo-Hoo in Canada. His election is sincere recognition for Canada.

Wood Promotion was the theme of the highly successful 68th annual convention of the International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, September 13-17, in Duluth, Minnesota. National speakers, as well as prominent lumbermen, keynoted the theme, and a Wood Promotion Panel was conducted.

I. Ward Allen, president of the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association, and Mortimer B. Doyle, executive vice-president, NLMA, presented challenging talks to the assembled delegates at the Wednesday session.

"The real battle today," Allen declared, "is lumber versus competitive materials. The whole lumber industry is now hungry for inspired leadership to 'concatenate' all segments into one vibrant unbeatable army.

"Can you think of any body, more democratic, more down-to-earth, more adequately equipped to develop this leadership than Hoo-Hoo?" he asked.

"Are you prepared to accept the challenge?" he asked the delegates. "Are you prepared to dedicate yourselves to lumber ?"

Doyle's talk-"The Next Ten Years-a Decade of Hope for Wood"-was the climax to the Wood Promotion theme of the convention.

"A new concept of merchandising-a new approach to selling-is taking hold throughout the lumber industry," he declared. "Much remains to be done to put lumber on equal terms with competitive materials such as steel, brick, aluminum and plastics.

"To keep pace with the manufacturers of competitive materials, the lumber industry must improve both its products and its selling methods," Doyle added.

He then outlined the important role that Hoo-Hbo, with its thousands of members, can play in improving the lumber industry's competitive position.

Approximately 400 Hoo-Hoo and their ladies converged on Duluth for the 68th annual. The convention.got under r+-;! ig

In the afternoon, H. R. "'Hal" Wenninger presented a rousing address on the "Fall Major Membership Drive." The afternoon's activities were climaxed with a Concat conducted by Twin Cities Hoo-Hoo Club 12 and the Work Team from Fargo-Moorhead Hoo-Hoo Club 104. Eleven Kittens rvere initiated.

One of the most important portions of the conventionThe Wood Promotion Panel-was held on Tuesday lnorning with Supreme Custocatian Jack Berry as moderator. Many excellent club educational and promotional projects were discussed and recommendations presented. As National Chairman of Hoo-Hoo Wood Promotion, Berry presented his ideas in a formal talk.

On Wednesday afternoon, delegates heard Committee reports and voted on the election of the Supreme Nine and tl-re Snark of the Universe. The following men were elected: R. W. "Dick" Scott, 56256, Vancouver, Canada, was unanimously elected Snark of the Universe. The Supreme

Conslruction Contrqcls Decline in August; Totql Srill qr High Level

New York-Construction contracts in the United States in August declined II/o from the level of the corresponding month of 1958, but the total of $3,083,649,000 was the second highest ever reported for any August, according to F. W. Dodge Corporation.

"Nearly every category of non-residential buildings and heavy engineering reported a decline in August, and. so did apartment buildings. Single family houses, on the other hand, gained. This pattern cannot be explained by any underlying economic {actors, but it is consistent witl-r the effeits fo be expected in the current steel situation. Single family homes are less dependent on steel deliveries than most other types of construction," said the Dodge Corp.

Residential- building contracts in August totaled $1,551,224,000, up 7% from August of last year. The contracts covered 116,269 dwelling units, an increase of 2/o over last year. Both the dollar volume and number of units in apartments declined, but this was more than offset by an increase in single-family houses

Cumulative totals for the first eight months of 1959 show residential building, $12,115,843,000, up 28/o.

Riverside Hoo-Hoo Club ll7 met September 1& in the Mission Inn there to start off the 1959-6f. term and elect new ofifrcers of the vigorous club. Dealer Gordon Greenslade of Hale & Greenslade, Calimesa. bested three other

pgpular candidates in the voting to emerge as the new president. He succeeds the genial Bill McDonald, who can now devote his untiring energy to Simpson Logging again after a successful year in the office.

Sharing the 1959-60 spotlight with President Greenslade will be Bert Adams, Adams Lumber Co., San Bernardino. as vice-president; Don DeArmond, Cresmer Mfg. Co., Riverside, secretary, and Tom Baker, Dill Lumber Co., Bloomington, treasurer

The Directors this term will be Scott Mcfntyre, Rialto (Calif.) Lumber Co.; Harley Hart, Inland Lumber Co., Rialto; Don Greenslade, Hale & Greenslade, Calimesa, and ex-President N{cDonald, Riverside.

Such ex-officers as Stark Sowers, Don Derbes, Bert Holdren, Don Oakes, Jerry Westphal, Jack McGrath, Gene Fox, Bob Saucke, Ilomer Wilson, Al Beals, Warren Haskins, Carrol Crane, Ed Hadley and many others will, of course, continue to be available for maior activitv. but Riverside Hoo-Hoo also has a fine bunch of young men like Perc Bakker, George Champion, a strong Palm Springs contingent and many others now coming to the fore. The Kite-area club has long been a model of progressive HooHoo activity and will continue to be in the future.

' After one of the Mission Inn's dinners, which itself followed a rousing pre-dinner gathering, Club 117 presented a speaker who would do credit to any audience in the world. lle was Stewart Hastings, fire protection inspector, Norton AFB, San Bernardino. He is heartily recommended to any club seeking an enlightened, entertaining and most provocative speaker.

NIMA President Soys Industry Now Strongesf, Best-orgonized in History

The president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association declares that the lumber industry is "stronger and better organized. now than at any time'in all its history." Robert M. Ingram said this stems in part from the 'fact that distributors are meeting lumber manufacturers "more than half-way" in the sales battle between wood and competitive materials.

In a special article, "New Look of the Lumber Industry," written for the 1959 Yearbook and Roster of the National Association of Lumber Salesmen, Ingram stated:

"'Wholesalers. retailers and commission salesmen seem today to have developed a new drive,' a new incentive, a new desire to really sell-not iust take orders for-our products.

"How else can you explain the recent action of the Na-

INTANI) TUMBTR COMPANY

tional-American Wholesale Lumber Association in approving plans for a special salesmen's training course open to all within our industry ?

"How else can you explain the fact that certain individual distributors are now considering a plan to set aside a specific sum of money every year for national promotional activities?"

Within recent months, fngram asserted, greater optimism and a "new faith" in the future have spread through- out the industry. NLMA's chief executive attributed this largely to the launching of the $1.3-million National Wood Promotion Program by lumber and wood product manufacturers late in 1958.

Also, he explained, lumbermen have become aware that "America is about to undertake the biggest building project in its history-the construction of a second United States." In this connection, Ingram pointed out:

"By the year Z,NO----only a 4O-year mortgage away- this country will have to double all the structures and facilities that now exist. Because, in 40 years' time, the population of the United States will be close to 340 millionabout double the present figure."

Quoting from a recent report of the F. W. Dodge Corporation, building statistics and economics service, Ingram continued :

"As one example of what this will mean, to provide living quarters for our increased population, rve will have to build 48 million new dwelling units in 40 years. But this is only a starting figure, because even at modest replacement rates (say a mere three-quarters of one percent) we will need another 16 million houses to take care of losses from fire and floods. tornadoes and termites. obsolescence and old age.

"In sum, we will therefore have to build around 64 million new dwelling units, considerably more than the total stock that now exists. Something of the same sort will be true of every other major type of building and facility from highways to hot dog stands."

This great market potential, Ingram predicted, will cause major producers of steel, brick, aluminum and plastics to launch an all-out drive to "double or even triple" the sales of their materials at the expense of wood.

To hold its share of the construction market and develop new outlets for its products, the lumber industry must start preparing now to step-up research, advertising, merchandising and promotional activities at the national, regional and local level, Ingram emphasized. As one step in this direction, irrembers of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association in November will discuss the outline of a proposed lO-year program designed to put the lumber industry on equal terms with its competitors, he reported. This program, "Marketing Unlimited," takes into account that "dynamic market growth will be the main feature of the rest of this century and that those who start preparing now to take advantage of this opportunity will be the ones who profit most," Ingram stressed.

8l Lumbermn Tee Off for Golf in Northern Colifornio Tournoment

There were 181 lumbermen in the 4th annual Northern California Lumbermen's Golf Tournament, again staged at the Sierra View Country Club in Roseville, September 11. The record turnout, nearly 20 better than lasl year, was made possible through the organizational efforts of Tournament Chairman George Duff, of Cal-Ida Lumber Co., and his hard-working committee. Originally organized by Duff, the annual tournament in four short vears has become a "must" event for all Northern California lumbermengolfers, dubbers and "pros" alike.

With the tee-off time moved up to avoid the mid-afternoon heat and to accommodate the record turnout, the tournament wound up in plenty of time for a few relaxers and a leisurely outdoor steak barbecue followed by the awarding of some 20 tournament awards.

Winner of the entire field was George Steres, a guest, whose 74 card showed three strokes less than that of George Cameron, winner of the lumbermen's low-gross trophy. Robert Dronberger took second low gross with a 78.

A campaign is planned to make the Teco grade stamp on plywood produced by a group of Oregon and California companies more familiar to home builders, lumber dealers and distributors. This was decided at a one-day meeting in Portland, Oregon, attended by mill representatives and William H. Scheick, vice-president and director of research and development of Timber Engineering Company, Washington, D. C.

Scheick told the plywood producers that in less than one year, the Teco grade stamp on their plywood had found wide acceptance by major building codes all over the United States and by Federal housing lending agencies. Also that it was rapidly becoming familiar to home builders and lumber dealers and plywood distributors.

"We want, of course," he explained, "to have everyone

know the Teco grade stamp as well as any others. We also want to extend our program to other mills. We are continually working to improve our quality control." The plywood production carrying the Teco grade stamp amounts to approximately 60 million board feet monthly, figured on a sl inch basis, Scheick revealed.

Holf of Homes Need Repoirs

New York-Half of the homes in the United States-or 25,000,000 units-are in need of repair and improvements, and one out of every 1o-or 5,000,000 homes-is substandard. This is the estimate of David O'D. Kennedy, president of Kentile, Inc.

Kennedy said people now have the money to remodel their homes and are anxious to correct existing defectsinadequate kitchens and bathrooms, old-fashioned flooring, faulty wiring and inefficient heating. There are also additions of rooms.

The home-improvement field should be helped by the increasing number of married couples under 35 who now favor older homes because of the greater living space, and by the movement to liberalize down-payment terms for old homes.

Kennedy said Americans allocate an average of a little more than a dollar a day-or about $20,000,000,000, to provide for greater living space, new furnishings and a fresh new look to their homes.

NRTDA President Sees Need for Higher Interesl Rote on FHA loqns

Washington, D. C.-Home construction will get some stimulus from the new Federal housing bill. but unless FHA hikes the allowable interest rate -on insured loans, builders will not be able to maintain present construction levels, according to Herbert W. Blackstock, Seattle, Washington, president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

"The present interest rate of 5%% is not sufficient to induce lenders'to make FHA insured loans in many areas of the country, and when such loans are made it is at a high discount from face value," the West Coast lumber and building materials dealer stated.

FHA is authorized by Congress to raise the interest rate to a maximum of 6/o but the NRLDA president said that he did not believe they would go the whole way, even thou_gh_ conventional interest rates on first mortgages have reached-and in some cases surpassed-that figure- in most areas.

Lody Deqler Ghoirmqn for NRTDA Exposition Progrom

Carolyn B. Nettleton (right), Covington, Virginia's, prominent lady dealer of lumber and building materials, has accepted the chairmanship of a management session on customer relations to be presented at NRLDA's 6th Building Products Exoosition. Entitled "Mr. Deiler, Look In The Mirror," the program is scheduled as a breakfast meeting during the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association's annual show set for November l4-I7 in Cleveland. Miss Nettleton, part owner and manager of C. B. Nettleton, Inc., in Covington, will produce the program in cooperation with Robert A. Jones, executive vice-president of the Middle Atlantic Lumbermen's Association, who is serving as Program manager.

Designed to show how customer attitudes affect sales volume and profits, the meeting will vividly illustrate both the business pitfalls resulting from adverse customer reactions and the proven advantages of makirrg continuous efforts to maintain good customer relations.

Miss Nettleton's career in the lumber and building material industry began in May 1949, shortly after the death of her father, C. B. Nettleton, and only a few years following her graduation from college. Faced with the decision to operate or liquidate her late father's business, which had been founded in 1887 by her grand{ather, she accepted the challenge.

Her success has been described with the comment, "She puts into effect numerous plans that many dealers think about but somehow

never get around to doing." Under her direction, C. B. Nettleton, Inc., has built a spacious new "Builders Department Store" which is geared for greater customer service and supermarket convenience. In line with Miss Nettleton's efforts to make her firm a one-stop home building service, she also oDerates two readY-mix conciete plants-one in Covington- and the other in nearby West Virginia.

Active in Association work since entering the industry, Miss Nettleton has served the Virginia Building Material Association as a director and is currently a vicepresident. She is slated for the presidency next year and will be the first lvoman association president in the history of ihe retail lumber industry.

Increasingly in demand as a speaker, Miss Nettleton appeareo as a program panelist at the 1956 and 7957 NRLDA Expositions and more recently took part on the program at the 1958 convention of the Ohio Retail Lumber Dealers Association. She also holds several prominent positions in civic affairs.

Generol Business lncreqse Indicqtes Continued Southlqnd Growth Trend

Economic structure of the Southland continues to gain strength over 1958 as indicated by the increase in bank debitJ to demand deposits, stated J. E. Fishburn, Jr., president of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.

Other indications of economic growth, Fishburn said, ar'e based on increases in construction, rise in employment and a drop in unemployment, gain in auto and auto passenger travel into the area and more ship arrivals.

- Total valuation of building permits in Los Angeles County was up 6.2% for the seven-month reporting period, from list year-'s $814,372,000 to the 1959 figure of $864,971,000.

Wood Promofion Theme of Hoo-Hoo

(Continued lrom Page 22) of the National Wood Council, present the entire matter of an industry-wide "National Forest Products Week" to the Wood Council at their next meeting, November 9, in Washington, D. C., as an order of business. It is the intent of Hoo-Hoo to urge the industry, as represented by the National Wood Council, to adopt a National Forest Products Week for 1960, as a means of encouraging "grass-

ONLY

roots" participation in the wood promotion program. The Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo is prepared to adjust its plan for a 1960 Forest Products Week to those which may be decided by the National Wood Council, which could include a change in the date of the week.

.Third. Hoo-Hoo International will offer its services in administration of such a "National Forest Products Week," on a minimum basis, if the National Wood Council should desire it. It further would be prepared to relinquish this administrative duty to a body designated by the National Wood Council at any time. Administration "on a minimum basis" is defined as a wide mailing of the announcement of "National Forest Products Week" during January of each year and, again, about three weeks before the date of "the week."

The purpose of this three-part resolution, as I explained as National Chairman of the Hoo-Hoo Wood Promotion Committee, is to assure that for Hoo-Hoo there will be National Forest Products Week, open to all who care to participate in this "grass-roots" program. Secondly, the subject of such a forest products week officially sponsored by the entire forest products industry, will be presented to the National Wood Council, which represents, or soon will represent, all organizations of the industry. If the National Wood Council decides to sponsor such a week, but at this time does not wish to set up an administrative body, Hoo-Hoo volutrteers to act for the industry as administrator, on a minimum basis, for whatever period its services woulcl be desired.

This action marks the joining of three indepenclent efforts on behalf of a "National Forest Products Week." First was the proposal of such a week by the trade journal, "Wood and Wood Products," in 1956, with many strong subsequent editorials, which met with wide approval throughout the industry. Next was the effort of wood promotion-minded individuals of Lewiston, Idaho, who last year established "Forest Products Week" for the state of Idaho, by proclamation of Governor Smiley. Their first year promotion activities were very effective in the Lewiston area. Third is the widespread appeal by Sacranrento Hoo-Hoo Club 109, as made by Hoo-Hoo's Seer of the House of Ancients, C. D. LeMaster, and subsequent work on this by the Hoo-Hoo International Wood Promotion Committee.

All three of these separate actions are now united in their desire for an industry-rvide "National Forest Products Week" for the United States and Canada, as now proposed by Hoo-Hoo.

Hoo-Hoo Club 2

Sept. 13, Sunday

Registration started about 11:30 a.m. and the Cats began pouring in. A total of around 400 members and their families had registered before the end of the convention.

Sept. 14, Monday

At the morning meeting, Snark Gallagher made a keynote speech at which time the convention theme was laid down-two factors fore-

most: 1. A membership drive that would surpass anything heretofore attempted; at least 9 members on each Hoo-Hoo club to serve (at present about 13,00O registered members); a necessity because of increased costs of doing business and the finances of the National are about depleted (note: later in the convention a resolution was adopted that will raise the National portion of our dues two dollars per year). 2. "The time has come," said Gallagher, for the Hoo-Hoo clubs to get down to business and during the ensuing year alt clubs should foster and promote a Wood Promotion program with each club having a new committee chairman and committed with this express purpose in mind.

Facts about our National-level program on the above items were enlarged upon in the afternoon session. At the Concat, enthusiastic response to the rituals conducted by Twin Cities Hoo-Hoo Club.

"Mrs. Hoo-Hoo" candidates wer€ prcsented during the evening session and, in deference to Mrs. Gertrude LeMaster, who was to have been Jurisdiction VI choice, but could not attend, we had no official candidate.

Sept. 15, Tuesday

A very enlightening and enthusiastic Panel discussion on Wood Promotion was held with Jack Berry of Jurisdiction VI as moderator-he is national chairman of this committee. The session was so well-received that it was continued at the Wed. session.

At this session a suggestion was made that there should be a national award trophy given to the club that does most for Wood Promotion. At a later session this was so resolved and. while the design hasn't as yet been decided upon, the Eugene, Ore., club was voted the award for its work during the past year.

After a morning session of Committee reports, the main body of the convention heard an address by J. Ward Allen, president NAWLA. The crux of his address was our woeful failure to do anything constructive in wood promotion and the efiect it would have on our industry. He deplored our do-nothing attitude and invited our clubs to join with his group in such a progrhm. After a lively panel discussion on Wood Promotion and a short intermission, we were addressed by Mortimer B. Doyle, vice-president, NLMA, on what his association was doing and how we could help. The program is a projected, sustained campaign for the next 10 years, based on a factual, legislative and educational basis. At 2:30 at a members'meeting, the new Snark and Supreme Nine members were elected. The Supreme Nine selections were almost all holdovers, except our District 6 and Texas. Harvey Koll was selected for our district. A1l future convention sites were verified and three n€w ones added-Phoenix, Chicago and Pittsburgh.

Then came the Embalming of the Snark of the Universe and, in one of the most impressive ceremonies ever seen, Snark Bob Gallagher was relieved of his command.

Following a reception for new Snark Dick Grant, the members and ladies met for a dinner program and dancing to end the festivities of the convention. The dinner was well-received and the program consisted of a roller skating act (incidentally, terrific), a xylophone specialist, and a.very fat MC who could steal your eye-teeth (pickPocket).

Next the announcement that Mrs. "Brownie" (her only first name, so she says) Rezanka from Minneapolis was elected "Mrs. Hoo-Hoo,' and was presented a beautiful sterling-silver serving-set and tray.

Mid-Yeqr Industriql Growth Gontinues in Upwqrd Trend

Mid-year capital investments in new plants or expansions in Los Angeles County rose to $88,27I,525 during the six-month pefiod ending June 30, nearly $3,000,000 ahead of 1958. Harlan Holmwood, chairman of the Industrial Development committee of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, hailed the continued upsurge as "additional testimony to the economic vigor and dynamic nature of the local area." He said the expansion of local indtrstries accounted lor $77,417,200 of the total growth "reflecting the basic fact that industries like the Los Angeles area as a base of operations." New industrial plants have made up $10,854,325 of the total activity thus far in 1959. "With the steadily increasing tempo of industrial growth here, we feel confident that the $200,000,000 capital investment year predicted earlier is within grasp," Holmwood added.

A tot;il of 7,630 new jobs tn 215 separate businesses have been created to date by the announced expansions and new company plans, he continued.

Holmwood singled out several growth announcements by local companies as "significant" examples of current industrial expansion patterns. Included among these were American Forest Product Corporation's new 130,000 square foot facility in Santa Fe Springs.

He said another factor observed during the past six months has been the growing maturity and national recognition of business firms in California.

Women's Weokness

The husband was running around looking for his hat when his wife asked him what he wanted it for. Said the husband:

"That fellow across the street just phoned and asked if I could lend him a corkscrew."

Said the wife: "Well, why don't you let him come and get it?"

A look of deep sorrow and dejection spread over his countenance. He said: "My dear, that remark of yours sums up in its entirety the weakness of woman's wisdom. It is because of such reasoning as that, that women cannot lead armies, control nations, or take any outstanding part in world affairs."

Sound R.eosoning

A brightJooking boy applied for a job at a local store, and when the manager asked his name, he said:

"Lincoln, sir; Abraham Lincoln."

"Well," said the manager, smilingly, "that's a very well-known name, isn't it?"

The boy said: "Well, sir, it ought to be. I've been delivering groceries around this town for mighty near two years."

Mosters of lUlonners

Former President Francis Madero, of Mexico, was a small man, and somewhat sensitive about it. Once. when he was about to be photographed with his cabinet, the Secretary of State, Abraham Gonzales, was required to stand by him.

Madero lifted his eyes to the face of the tall Gonzales and, observing his great height, remarked: "I feel that my size will not show to advantage unless we are seated."

"Your Excellency," said Gonzales, "if you could only stand on your wisdom, you would dwarf us all."

"Well said," replied Madero with a smile, "provided you did not stand on your courtesy at the same time."

Awake my fine songster; it's well toward noon, All morning I've waited, just hoping you'd croon A measure from "Chloe" or "Deep Rolling Sea," Which last night you warbled till half after three.

You wakened the neighbors, you tripped on the mat, And one of your props was your hostess's hat. I'm sure she will want you again for tonightThe life of the party whenever you're tight.

Arise, my sweet prince, but be careful, don't skid. Arise and consider the things that you did: The uprooted garden, the splintered garage, It sounded just like an old-fashioned barrage.

Go call on your hostess, and carry a check, I think if you signed it just "pain in the neck" The bank will okay it-t'would be just like youThe clown went berserk twixt the dawn and the dew.

So drink up that seltzer, you chattering drone, It's said to be good for a splintering dome; I wish I were Sandow, how far I would throw you, For the next thirty days, please pretend I don't know you.

Envoi: My juvenile jackass, my dim-witted duffer, You say you feel awful? Well, dawgonya-suffer!

Vitql Redwood Conference Held

(Continued from Page 10)

panel discussion presented during the conference luncheon. The panel's theme was "What Is Redwood's Market Position in the Years to Come?" Panelists included Moderator Thomas A. Mainwaring and Robert W. Fritz, market research specialists with the Stanford Research Institute ; Architect Malcolm Reynolds, F.A.I.A., Oakland, Calif., and Robert Mosher, A.I.A., La Jolla, Calif.

Main points brought out in the panel discussion were :

1. House pre-fabrication and the use of manufactured house components will continue to grow and may account for considerably more than 25/o of the non-farm, singlefamily housing market by 1970.

2. Redwood will face increasirrg competition from other materials that are designed to reduce the builder's cost of installation.

3. To obtain its share of the market in the future, the redwood industry will have to examine the products it offers to builders and will have to design new products to meet their needs.

4. New redwood products may require new methods of manufacturing. It appears that the redwood industry will have to develop some form of prefabrication to obtain its share of the market in the future.

Other guest speakers on the Conference program included Mortimer B. Doyle, executive vice-president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, who described current NLMA and National Wood Promotion Program activities, and Dr. Fred E. Dickinson, director of the University of

California's Forest Products Laboratory. who told of a current FPL study to prevent seasoning siains on redwood lumber.

The full facilities of the Flamingo hotel were taken over by the redwood industry for its spicial conference.

Highlight of the lobby displays prepared by the CRA was a giant redwood stump-16 feet high and 8 fept in diameter

-constructed in the main lobby. The stump also served as a projection booth, from which four CRA movies were flashed simultanously on the lobby walls.

The day-long program for redwood industry leaders was prepared by the CRA staff under the direction of the CRA's Promotion committee, which is composed of the sales man-

United Lumber Compony Buys Thot Enterprising Tqhoe Yqrd

Change in ownership of a major South Tahoe business firm is announced with the sale of all stock in the Nevada Lumber Company of Tahoe Valley, Calif., to the United Lumber Company of Modesto, effective September 1. The new owners, headed by President John Martin, operate 28 lumber yards in the San Joaquin Valley. United Lumber is a subsidiary of the Winton Lumber Company of Minneapolis, Minn.

Outwardly, the change in ownership will be little noticed. No changes in personnel or policies are contemplated, and Nevada Lumber Company will continue to operate under the active management of Harold Dayton and F. K. (Speck) Rahbeck, who have seen Nevada Lumber Company grow considerably during the 11 years they have been in business at the "Y" on Highway 50 in Tahoe Valley.

They have been associated in the yard's management with R. M. (Roy) Cross of Reno, well-known western Nevada and Sierra Nevada lumberman. Nevada Lumber Company has kept pace with Lake Tahoe growth and the firm recently completed its fourth expansion in just a little over a decade.

Commenting on the sale, Dealers Rahbeck and Dayton said that the move was in keeping with continuous expansion policies of the firm. They pointed, out that Nevada Lumber Company will be administered independently of other businesses owned by United Lumber and emphasized that no changes "either in personnel or policies" were planned.

Thoi-Teok Council Formed

New York-The "International Thai-Teak Council," a non-profit association that will devote its activities to the dissemination of information, and the staging of educational projects on genuine teakwood exported from Thailand, will be located at 299 Madison Avenue. Thai teakwood, known botonically as "Tectona Grandis," is rated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service as "the most valuable of all timbers for flooring, interior woodwork and ship-building."

In recent years this country has been flooded, the Council stated, "with a host of sub standard grades of teakwood from countries where geographic and climatic conditions militate against its growing and complete natural development. By merely calling native trees 'teak,' a ready market for this timber has always been found," the Council added.

Genuine teakwood must be able to resist decay and hold its shape under varying moisture conditions. Grade "A" teakwood should be able to withstand termite penetration. "Thai teakwood," it was noted. "has an oilv ieel and is light brown in color when freshly cut, and darkens on exposure."

Officers of the Council include Frederick K. S. Yee, 580 Dillingham Blvd., Honolulu, vice-president; Trustees include Kazuo Arakawa, 94333 Depot Rd., Waipahu, Hawaii; Arthur Rode, 8280 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles, Calif.

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote the following about commerce: "Commerce is a game of skill which every man cannot play, and which few men can play well. The right merchant is the one who has the just average of faculties we call common sense; a man of strong affinity for facts.

He is thoroughly persuaded of the facts of arithmetic. There is always a reason in the man for his good or bad fortune; and so, in making money. Men talk as though there were some magic in this, and believe in magic in all parts of life. He knows that all goes on the good old road, pound for pound, cent for cent-for every effect a perfect causeand that good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose."
