For Hqrdwood Floors, Choose Your Wqx Corefully
E. L. Bruce Co., the worlcl's largest maker of hardrvood floors, l'ras sought the help of 16,000 lumber clealers in a campaign to stop houseu'ives from ruining hardwood floors u,itl.r kitchentvpe r\.axes.
Figures show that 21,000,000 American houservives use kitchen type u'axes on their floors, according to Bruce. This practice shortens the useful life of rvood ancl destroys its natural beauty, according to Henry XI. Tobey, Bruce research clirector.
I{odern self-polishing waxes, he exDlains. are not "natural" tvaxes but plastics <1uite sirnilar to those nsed in the proclrrction of shellac ancl plastic. Their removal {rom wood rvithout clamage to the floor an<l the finish is virtually inrpossible.
Tl.ris poses a particularly difhcr"rlt problem because tl're wax must be removed with some regularity, according to I,Ir. Tobey. As the synthetic \\raxes age, they darken. Ground-in soil, impossible to completely rernove rvith normal cleaning practices, further cliscolors tl-re strrface. A new cciat or wax merely covers the discolorecl and soiled layef
Bruce is asking lumber dealers to use counter signs, publicity releases ancl proper l"rarclwood floor care instructions -all providecl {ree bv Bruce-to help put ail end to this practice.
Solvent, or buffing type u'axes are the only acceptable waxes for u'ood, accorclir.rg to Bruce. They can be rer"nor-ecl rvith ease, ancl they clo not contein danraging water.

Broiled ond Boiled?
A big turnout of thirsty and hungrY (in that order) lumbermen took in the Annual Santa Clara Valley Hoo-Hoo Barbeque at the Palo Alto Elks Club on September 13. Knute Weidman, popular Peninsula wholesaler, chairmanned the successful outing and should be congratulated on the arrang'ements for a fine evening.
Highlight of the evening was the chow-Charcoal broiled steaks a la Roger, the chief chef at the Chez Yvonne Restaurant at nearby Mountain View. Only one problem was experienced, and that was the problem of prying Chef Roger away from the "table of chance" long enough to get the charcoal going and the steaks on the tables. Poor Roger. It definitely was not his night !
With the successful Annual Barbeque out of the way for another year, Club 170 turned to a business meeting in October, National Forest Products Nite with San Jose dealer Bill Mitchell chairman. The meeting was held on the evening of the l2th at the Chez Yvonne Restaurant, Merl Tanner presiding over his last meeting after doing an outstanding job as president of Club 170 during the past year.
