Chqrlie Whire Elected Prexy Sqn Froncisco Hoo-Hoo

Live-wire lumber merchant Charlie White was unanimously and enthusiastically elected president of San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club 9 at the club's Annual Election Nite meeting at the Iron Duke on September 26. Charlie, who is a partner in White Lumber Company with yards in San Francisco and at Daly City, succeeds outgoing prexy Gay Bradt who was highly commended by the membership for his outstanding leadership of Club 9 during the past year.

Judging from dealer White's acceptance talk it was obvious the Club 9 was not in for a purely "social" year. Several new thoughts regarding Forest Products promotion and legitimate distribution practices were outlined. Both will be expanded at future meetings. Dealer White also brings a fresh approach to Club 9 activities-f166 the retail lumber merchant's ooint of view. Because of San Francisco's heavy concentration of wholesalers and mill representatives, Club t has quite naturally been headed by representatives of the wholesale segment of the lumber industry for the past several years.

Other officers elected to serve for the coming fiscal year include: first vice-president, Dick }lo5Jan, Van Arsdale-Harris Lumber Company; second vice-president, Bill Carter, J. E. Hig- gins Lumber Company; secretary, Chuck Dickinson, California Redwood Association ; treasurer, Bob Nelson, Hobbs Wall Lumber Company; first sergeant-at-arms, Owen Stebbins, The Pacific Lumber Company; and second sergeant-at-arms, Frank Billings, California Pacific Sales Corporation.

The new directors slate for the coming year as follows: Lloyd Hecathom, Arcata Redwood Company; Harry Ifood, The Pacific Lumber Company; "Doc" White ; Lloyd Hickok, J. J. Moore & Company; Keith Harry, Georgia Pacific Corporation ; Ike Zafrani, Harbor Lumber Company; Max Cook, The California Lumber Merchant; Jack Pomeroy, Lumber Merchants Association; Frank E,gnell; and Ed Brush. E,. S. Brush & Sons.
