CAI.IFORNIA IU'TBER'{ETCHANT

BY JACK DIONNE Lives of editors remind us,

There is a foreward to the book, written by one of the authors, Colin Coote,,which alone is well woith the price of the_ !qo\, for he draws you a very unusual pictuie of Churchill. His prologue illuminates the book that follows.

He concludes his esJay with these words: ',The prayer in t-rjstory^whi_ch_stits him best is surely the prayer bt La Hire: 'Sir God, I pray you to do to La Hiri ai La Hire would do to you if You were La Hire and La Hire were God."'

Honest men don't have a chance, And in passing leave behind us, Bigger patches on our pants.

On our pants once new and glossy,

There are stripes of different hue, All because subscribers linger,

f,

And don't pay us what is our due.

Let us then be up and doing, Send our mite however small, Or when the snow of winter strikes us.

We will have no pants at all. {.*1.

rF*{.

'

When I think of the towel, the old fashioned towel, That used to hang up by the yard office door, I think that nobody in these days of shoddy, Could hammer out iron to wear as it wore.

It grew thicker and rougher and harder and tougher, And each day it took on an inkier hue, Until one windy morning without any warning, It fell to the floor and was broken into.

It is agreed by most thinking and reading men that most of the books being published in this day and age come

under one category; they are just plain and lousy trash.

Yes, lousy is the word.

* * * Tlie same thing might be truthfully said concerning the great preponderance of the books of recent years; the covers are too far apart. They should, in many cases, be

stucktogether.

*

*

Mr. Coote explains that at times Mr. Churchill, in his strongest phrases, comes close to taking for his own the famous words of men of earlier days, bu1 adds, and truthfully, that all great thinkers, speikers, and writers may b_e so charged. For instance, Churchill's oft-quoted words that_he spoke in England's darkest hour when he promised the Fritish people "blood, toil, sweat, and tears," ring like the immortal words of Garibaldi when he said: "Softiers. what I have to offer you is fatigue, danger, struggle, and death."

And when he said at that same time that Britain would "fight on the beaches, in the hills, in the streets.', he could have been taking a page from the French Clemenceau during World _W"I 9"9, when he promised the invading Germans that "I shall fight in front of Paris, in paris, Sehind Paris." Mr. Coote believes that the resonant eloquence of Churchill is alike to that of Cicero; perhaps -ore like him than like any other speaker or writei. lNr**

*

Now and then something worth while in book form

comes on the market. If you are thinking of getting a book

that will be worth your time and money and then some.

here is a suggestion.-The book came out about twelve yeari

Early in the book Churchill explains his own ambitions,

ye_ry tersely, and very plainly, saying: "I have always faith-

fully served two public causes, which, I think siand supreme, the maintenance of the enduring greatness of Britain

ago. It is the "Maxims and Reflections of Winston Churchill," published by Houghton, Mifflin Company of Boston.

and her Empire, and the historical continuity of our island life."

The book mentioned is filled with quotations from the

And the reader will no doubt thrill with admiration for his dominant thought-British loyalty-when he says: "I would make all boys learn English; and then I would let the clever ones learn Latin as an honor, and Greek as a treat. But the one thing I would whip them for is not knowing English; I would whip them hard for that." And he slyly adds that he never studied Latin or Greek.

speeches and writings of the great Englishman, most of

them brief, all of them filled with magnificent thoughts couched in such words as onlv Churchill knows how to use.

Truly he is a master word rvringler and phrase shaper. You read this book slowly and thoughtfully, and the words seem to stick in your mind. That is the test.

NBMDA Conducts Problem-Solving Distributor-Dealer Conference

',lr. !il

ttTl ENTLEMEN ! During this Conference we shall enlr.J deavor to solve manj' problems especially the

,)

problem of lost markets." These were the opening words of a short welcome speech made by Dick Freeman as he initiated the National Building Material f)istributors Association Distributor-Dealer Conference on September 18 in L. A.'s Ambassador Hotel. Dick concluded his brief speech and then introduced M. L. McCreery, president of the Association.

Mr. McCreery stated that he had noticed the tremendous building and construction growth in the Los Angeles area , but, that he doubted if the profit margin enjoyed in the building materials industry had kept up. He also said that he was very pleased to see the interest and co-operation which existed between manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers attending the Conference.

Francis Brown (Moderator), Editor of Western Building Review, introduced the panel members for the first Round Table Discussion: Fred Thompson of Inland Lumber Company, Ralph Singer of Diamond W Supply Company, Hal Anawalt of Anawalt Lumber Company and Ken Dietel of the Pomona Lumber Company.

Mr. Singer, a wholesaler, was asked to state problems which faced his company. According to this prominent man in the building material business, one of the most crucial problems facing his firm is the lack of qualified young men.

Mr. Singer added that the building materials industry is unable to absorb qualified young men because their gioss profit margin does not allow them to offer highly attractive starting salaries, _Large profit-making organizations like insurance companies take away the better class of personnel.

Hal Anawalt had four points to bring before the group for discussion. Primarily. he stated that wholesalers should

accompany salesmen to visit retail clients. Secondly, Hal said that catalogs and price sheets left by salesmen with

clients should be up to date. Thirdly, Hal opinioned that wholesalers should make sales and distribution policies known to retailers. Finally, Mr. Anawalt stated that Wholesalers should keep hitting Retailers again and again until thev eventuallv make a sale.

Ken Dietel expressed that he thought business could be generally improved by: promoting shell-housing, standardizing patterns and colors of building products and labeling building material trucks with the statement, "Wholesale to Retail Dealers Only."

At the conclusion of the first round table discussion, Francis Rrown opened the meeting for group discussion.

Among the main points which were resolved by the group were : product catalogs should be sent to architects; new products should be displayed by wholesalers and retailers; when the retailer fails to perform his function he is eventually cut out; something should be done to restrict discount houses from taking business away from the wholesale and retail lumber and building material dealers. *.Next- on the program was a speech presented by Don fi.rcnarcson, Richardson, vice vlce prestoent ident oI of I\NBMDA, IJ.|ljA, bn on the component picture. Mr. Richardson stated that the average tracthousing ng projects proJects consisting consrstlng' of ot twenty-five twenty-hve homes are lost customers mers for components. components. The vice-president went on to say that his company, the Richardson Lumber Company, ships component houses up to 300 miles away from tlie factory.

the local Retail Lumber Dealer).

S. M. Van Kirk, General Manager of NBMDA, was called to t!9 speaker's platform to eiplain the major weaknesses at "the point of sale." Ife said that cutting prices is a temporary anitver to the current problems, not a lasting one. Mr. Van Kirk continued by saying that the volume of business transacted is rising, but so-are wage costs.

At the conclusion of Mr. Kirk's remarks, the persons attending the Conference were invited to lunch at tLe Ambassador where they enjoyed the Hotel's famous cuisine.

After lunch the second panel was called to the speaker's platform by its Moderator, Dick Freeman, So.-Cal. Building \4aterials Company. The second panel consisted of : W. G-.

Grieve of Building Material Distributors, Fred Kranz of.

Golden State Lumber, Ray Haley of Haley Wholesale Company a1d faul Hollenbick, Exicutive Seiretary of the Southern California Retail Lumber Dealers Ass5ciation.

Paul Hollenbeck was the first member of the second pale-l to- speak. Mr. Hollenbeck said that proper accounting and budgeting procedures are of paramount-importance t6 the lumber and building materials dealers. Ray Haley then told about an experiment he is carrying on at-his company whereby salesmen are paid a percentage of the gross piofii.

In this manner salesmen are given a strong incentive to sell because they know exactly how much commission will go into their pockets on every item they sell.

Fred Kranz commented that the wholesaler should not try to tell the retailer where to set prices (that should be the retailer's concern). Bill Grieve then spoke in favor of data processing machines. Mr. Grieve said that data processing should show the wholesalers and retailers not what has happened, but what is going to happen.

It was resolved at the conclusion of panel report that office records should do more than just tell how much taxes management has to pay; they should also indicate a sales forecast.

Before adjournment of the Conference, Mr. Van Kirk reminded the group that the 1962 Spring Meeting of NBMDA will be held in San Francisco, Rpiil 30 through May 3. On May 4 the group will leave foi Hawaii where they will attend the Mid-Pacific Conference. They are expecting over 200 distributors from all states in the Union to participate in this event. While in Hawaii they will inspect warehouses, review the construction industiy and attend the Wholesale Building Materials Distributori Convention.

IBMC Proves lts Ability

To Perform D) EDWOOD is the perfect descripr\ tion of the ultra-modern Inde-

pendent Building Materials Company, Inc., manufacturing plant and concentration yard in Torrance, California.

When one looks up he sees that the stacks of perfectly cut redwood touch the blue of the sky and if one turns his head to either side, he will see only quality IBMC redwood and precision machinery.

"There is no limit to IBMC's ability to perform in the ever expanding redwood industry which is becoming increasingly more vital to America's growth and development," explained Max R. Barnette, new manager of IBMC, one of the largest redwood specialty firms in the nation.

IBMC manufactures approximately 5,000,000 feet of redwood per month and kiln dries quality grade redwood through clear and Aye, plus selling common grades green andf or air

possible in order to maximize efficiency and quality of IBMC redwood. So it is that precision tools, such as the automatic sticker, are seen being used in every plant operation.

The automatic sticker provides maximum efficiency in IBMC's green lumber sticking operations. The green chain saw permits fast sorting of lumber for length and width prior to further manufacturing or sticking.

rows of stuck redwood Clears covering IBMC's 15 acre drying area.

"Air drying prior to kiln dry-ing insures maximum capacity and efficiency of the dry kiln operation at our Toirance facility," IBMC President W. E. "Bill" Upton explained.

Careful checking of lumber grade before and after resawing on self-centering Turner band re-saws assures uniformly excellent redwood lumber.

After milling, splits and downgrades are pulled for re-trim and further manufacture to insure quality.

Automation equipment handles the feeding of rough kiln-dried stock into the three Stetson Ross Matchers. Precision matching to exacting tolerances assures highest quality of redwood manufacture with these modern high

cellent climatic conditions for redwood dryingi, but it is also situated in a location convenient to all types of transportation. These plus a strong labor pool make Torrance the ideal concentration center.

The large Torrance plant covers 25 acres, all of which is paved. Walking

between the high stacks of beautiful redwood and around the humming milling operations, one is amazed at the good clean house-keeping that prevails. The plant is so imaculate that one almost expects to see a maid scurrying around with a broom and dust pan.

One can easily understand the vastness of the IBMC's ooerations after visiting the massive- custom-engineered Moore Dry Kilns designed to meet IBMC's exacting requirements for drying redwood. Their total ca-

pacity is 1,200,000 feet per charge, according to Kiln Superintendent Bill Tooker.

Automation is

the three matchers, a portion of the planing mill, and the centrally located filing room. The high powered blower system recovers 14 to 16 truckloads of sawdust per day which is converted into lignapeat for home and nursery use. Scrap goes into toy manufacture,

glued-up stock, and fiber_ board, thus assuring maximum wood utilization.

IB],IC has found profits not only through efficiency bu1 from sound and ingenious use for all material.

Highly skilled machinists play a vital role in maintaining the reputation enjoyed by IBMC for precision manufacturing standards. The finest equipment in the industry is to be found in the filing and grinding department.

Supervisory planing mill personnel keep the diagonal ie-saw and other machinery in constant adjustment to maintain accurate tolerances demanded for IBMC's Bevel Siding.

If one were able to vlew the IBMC plant from an airplane, one would be awed by the numerous quarter mile

Railroad box car shipments of choice kiln-dried rough redwood are received on regular schedule from IBMC's mills in Del Norte and Humboldt Counties.

Incoming redwood loaded on flatcars is spotted along the 14 car spur at the Torrance yard and then mechanically discharged.

Bestwqll Developes New Joint System Tope

Bestwall Gypsum Company, manufacturer of gypsum building products, has announced the development of a new joint system tape called Embossed Tape for use in drywall constructlon.

Available nationally, a primary aclvantage of the new tape is that it can remain stable under varying humidity conditions, thus reducing uneven expansion and edge wrinkling which are contributing factors in edge crack-

Based on an entirely different cor.rcept of porosity witfiout holes, the ne.w tape is center embossed to perrnit air_ flow through the roll of tipe, and edge embossed to take up the stretch in the skiving operation.

New Delta 18" Ploner Feqlures Seporote Feed ond Wedge Bed Wedge bed construction, combining accuracy with easy adjustment, and a separate feed drive motor are featured on a new l8-inch planer introduced by Rockwell Manufacturing Company's Delta Power Tool Division.

In addition to increasing accuracy and simplifying adjustment, rvedge bed construction provides greater work support than conventional raising screws. The incline ways directing the even rise of the bed are supported by a large area of solid metal that serves as a compression member, eliminating bending or tension strain on any part.

The nerv unit handles stock up to 18 inches wide and from tf-inch to 6 inches thick. Depth of cut is limited to tl-inch as a safety factor to eliminate any possibility of an operator's fingers being caught between the girt and stock being fed.

The planer is available in belt drive and direct drive models operating at 3450 rpm with a choice of 3-, 5- and 7%-hp motors. Price of the basic machine is $680, F. O. B. tactory.

development_ stage_ fo_r _more than a year was recently unveiled by Plywood l'abricators of Redwood Valley.'California. The new product, which was developed by ieteran plywood man Ted Stolesen, is called Plank-Sawn.

Stolesen, who is president of Plywood Fabricators, notes that Plank-Sawn differs from other exterior plywood siditlg.- by _simulating a resawn board and batf ippearance.

With other plywood siding panels it is still neiissary to nail battens to the panels after they are erected, Stollsen polnts out.

Plank-Sawn is manufactured with 8,,, 12,,. or random width "boards" and the panel itself is generallv manufactured in either /s" or y's" thicknesses. l{owever. in cases rvhere 2.4.1 panels are used in two story construction the Plank-Sawn process could serve an additional use and p.rovide an attractive board and batt effect on the ceiling of the ground floor.

Stolesen, rvho has long been active in the development of new manufacturing methods to promote broader markets for plywood and plywood specialties, estimates that Plank-Sawn will be in full production and available to iobbers within the next 30-45 davs.

"BlG STICKS" Clear Fir Lumber and Twin Harbors Has Them !

Clear Fir Lumber Company, located 28 miles East of Arcata in Redwood Creek Valley, recently entered into an exclusive sales agreement with Twin Harbors Lumber ComDany. A mutually beneficial agreement to both sides, Clear Fir gains a broader marketing area for its quality old growth stock through Twin Harbors' sales network while Twin Harbors gains an exceptionally fine source of old growth finetextured Douglas fir in lengths up to 42'. Tvtin Harbors also represents an-

Aeriol shot of Cleor Fir-fwin Horbors log pond ond mill.

other long mill, Humboldt Fir at Hoopa, which can cut timbers tp to 32' in length. The agreement was reached

by Don Anderson, vice-president of Tr,vin Harbors Lumber Company, and Ray Swigert, general manager of Clear

Fir Lumber Company.

Clear Fir is located aporoximately

28 miles East of Arcata, California, in

Redwood Creek \ralley. The mill can be reached by traveling Highway 299 some 20 miles east to a county road junction leading to Hoopa where Humboldt Fir is located. Clear Fir is approximately eight miles northeast

of this junctior.r.

The mill site consists of 15 acres of paved property adjacent to a 14 acre log pond which is jointly held by

Middle: front view of carrioge ond edger lronsfer.

Botlom: end view of resqw ond lrimmar outfeed.

United States Plywood and Clear Fir. One-half of the pond is used by United States Plyr,vood to sort logs from its woods operation and the other half is used by Clear Fir as a log storage and sorting area.

General manager Swigert notes that the purpose of locating the mill in this

area was to get as near the timber source as possible with the thought in mind that lumber could be hauled from the mill cheaper than logs (if the mill were located in the Arcata area). Although the bulk of the company's production moves by truck, Clear Fir also maintains a yard at Arcata where rail shipments are processed.

The mill is constructed on ground level with concrete floor and the building has steel trusses with a galvanized roof designed primarily for a long timber mill cutting up 42' in length.

Basic mill equipment includes a 4block carriage with 72" openings with Salem pre-determined set works and air tapers on three knees. The head rig is an B' Filer & Stowell band rig powered by a 300 h.p. slip ring electric motor. The edger is a 12" x 60" llurnboldt Machine Works and trimmer is a Sumner 42' length capacity with a 12" depth cut. The resaw. a Prescott 7". is powered by a 250 h.p. electric

slip ring motor with line bar feed

which is backed up by another trim-

NRLDA Members Converge on Chicago For Eighth Annual Exposition EMBERS OF the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association will converge on Chicago this Saturday to open the Eighth Annual Building Materials Exposition. The four day show will run through November 7.

Chicago's new $34,000,000 exposition

center, McCormick Place, will host the NRLDA members. The massive ten story structure will house all exhibits on just one wide floor and provide all meeting rooms.

Under the joint sponsorship of the NRLDA and the American Gas Association, a closed circuit television

network will cover the four-day show.

Strategically located cameras will record outstanding events on the showroom floor, relaying them via closed circuit cable to hotels housing dealers and exhibitors.

Some 240 exhibits will be displayed by different manufacturers, distributors, and lumber associations. Among those participating are E. L. Bruce Co., The Celotex Corp., Georgia-Pacific Corp., Hallinan Lumber Cb., LongBell, Johns-Mansville, Johnson-Flaherty Inc., Masonite Corp., National-

American Wholesale Lumber Assn., National Oak Flooring Mfg. Assn., U. S. Plywood Corp., West Coast Lumbermen's Assn., Western Pine Assn., and Wilhold Glues Inc. A special Lu-Re-Co clinic, conducted by Lumber Dealers Research Council, will portray the latest component techniques developed through research and field testing. Newly developed structural elements will be shown to add to the ever increasing number of useable components.

Time and cost studies will be presented to show actual field cases comparing different types of construction as an aid to dealers in determinins the method of utilization which will l6wer the cost of housing while maintaining or exceeding quality standards of perIOrmance.

The "Profit Parade" will be a 90 minute presentation illustrating the individual dealer's profit picture and the whole industry's growth potential for the next decade. It will be a factual and dramatic approach to the vast remodeling market and its projected growth during the coming years.

One of the most interesting and popular attractions at the Exposition will be the featured Better Building

Center. llere architects. builders. dealers. distributors. and lenders will see a concentration of new products, new materials, new tools, and new

handling equipment for building better profitably, according to Winfield B. Oldham, president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

Mr. Oldham has invited all NRLDA Exposition exhibitors who feel that their new products, new materials, or

materials handling equipment are making an exciting or significant contribution to building progress to submit special exhibits for inclusion in the Better Building Center.

"Ideas in Action" is the theme of the business program which will include numerous discussions. lectures. and seminars. Featured will be several problem solving sessions of vital in-

terest and stimulation to the retail lumber and building materials dealer.

Home Modernizing Institute Plcrnned An opportunity to profit by the experience of others is being offered at the American Home Modernization Institute, located in Anaheim, California.

In a unique series of training programs, qualified applicants are trained in the practical, day-to-day operation of a home modernization business. They will receive training from men who have, through actual experience, gained the knowledge and 'know how' that makes the difference between succlss and failure in the home improvement field.

"The home modernization industry has grown tremendously in the last few years," said Jim Nelson of NelsonDye Construction, successful remodeling contractor, and a director of the American Home Modernization Institute.

"LTnfortunately, this growth has attracted many people who haven't the knowledge or background to operate a horne improvement business with any degree of success. Too many have failed that should have succeeded. Knowledge would have made the difference for a profitable operation."

"It is the objective of the American Home Modernization Institute to help home modernization personnel avoid the errors and oitfalls that await the newcomer in the modernization field. We offer a practical program of technical knowledge that covers every important area in the internal operation of a profitable modernizing business," concluded Jim Nelson.

Courses for the salesman, designer, estimator, job superintendent, bookkeeper and executive are offered by the American Home Mbdernization Institute, as well as in Indoctrination Course that covers, in depth, the home modernization field. Further information on the courses available can be obtained from the American Home Modernization Institute, 280 North Wilshire Avenue, Anaheim,

Good News!

August shipments of factory-finished wood kitchen cabinets were the highest of any month in history, it has been announced at the sixth annual convention of the National Institute of Wood Kitchen Cabinets.

Volume was 48 per cent above the average monthly shipments in the base period, 1958-1960, and 2O per cent ahead of shipments in August of last year.

For the year, January through August 1961, shipments are four per cent of the same period in 1960, six per cent over 1959 and 54 per cent ahead of 1958.

"The high August volume is particularly significant," the Institute declared, "in view of the slow start in home building this year. It reflects the mounting popularity of factoryfinished wood kitchen cabinets which are now being widely used in home remodeling as well as new construction."

Fir Lumber Prices Drop $3 or Northwest Mills Green fir lumber prices have dropped about $3 per thousand feet at Northwest mills. Random length 2'x4's are selling for about $57 per thousand board feet, down from

about $60 last month and a year ago. " The price has been gradually softening about a dollar a week," one Oregon lumberman explained.

Last month sanded fir plywood prices dropped to $60 from $54 per thousand square feet for fu inch key grade at West Coast mills. The new price equals the post World .War Two low, and compares with $58 one year ago.

Western Canada's lumber shipments to the United States in July were about 42 per cent above 1960, compared with a 22.5 per cent rise in June and a 14.6 per cent increase for the first seven months, according to the latest Dominion Bureau of Statistics report.

Canadian lumber sells about $2 below U.S. mill prices.

Key grade green 2'x 4's from Canada now sell for about $55 per thousand board feet at the mill.

For seven straight weeks U.S. lumber mill production has exceeded orders by an average 7.7 per cent, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. In the first nine months, output has run less than 1 per cent ahead of orders. In the seven lveeks ended September 30. orders were ofi 6.4 per cent from 1960 while production fell 6.2 Der cent.

Bruce Boll Covers Sqn Jooquin Vclley Sqles For Colifornio Pocific Soles Corporotion Ted Deacy, general manager and executive vice-president

of California Pacific Sales Corporation, announced the association of Bruce Ball with the firm on October 4. Ball,

who has a large following in the San Joaquin Valley area, will headquarter in Fresno and service California Pacific's dealer following in the Valley from Bakersfield to Sacramento, according to Deacy.

Ball's lumber experience dates back to the pre WWII days when he first got his feet wet in the lumber game with Boise Payette Lumber Company. After the war, Bruce came West to Fresno, first working for Hollenbeck-Bush Planing Mill Company, and later with Western Lumber Sales of Stockton. More recently, Ball had been servicing retail yards in the Valley area for Mathews Lumber Company of Fresno.

Merge Kochton, Plywood It has been disclosed in a

proxy statement that the General Plywood Corporation will pay $5,200,000 in cash plus 100,000 shares of common stock for

Kochton Plywood and Veneer Company, Chicago. The annual

sales of Kochton have been twice

those of General Plywood.

Value of the General Plywood common stock involved has been estimated to be $1,800,0'00. That firm will also pay off a Kochton

bank debt of 91,400,000 from a

sum of $6,600,000 it plans to bor-

row from commercial institu-

tions for a term of not more than five years. The remainder of this loan will be used to make the cash payment to Kochton.

General Plywood said it paid

$300,000 for its option to buy

Kochton. Henry M. Reed, Jr., General Plywood president, said

the acquisition would help his firm to diversify, improve its operations, and promote products made by its patented finishing process. Kochton is a distributor of plywood and veneer with approximately 30 wholesale out-

lets across the nation. General

"Take a wooden nickel" is a

The new version of this old maxim has recently become popular since the National Forest Products Week Com-

Remember that wood is worth

The wooden nickels are also worth tons of f uture publicity for the lumber and building nraterials industrv.

projects ahead for Hoo-Hoo. One of the most important is our National Forest Products Program, of which 'Forest Products Week' is a part. I believe that in working for this program of Wood Promotion, Hoo-Hoo has found the one big endeavor where it can be of orime service to the Lumber Industry and to those industries related to lumber.

"Next in imoortance is our drive to increase our membership and to establish new clubs. The big roll for Hoo-Hoo is for it to become a truly strong fraternal organization for all those who derive their livelihood from forest products. To fi11 this roll, HooHoo must constantly work to strengthen itself in all departments so as to maintain the respect and confidence of the lumber industry."

Woodwork Institute Presents Hordwood Progrom "The Availability and Uses of Hardwoods" was the title of the program presented by the Woodwork Institute of California at their September 19 meeting in Rodger Young Auditorium.

Reg Taylor, president of W.I.C., and representative of Taylor Stair and Millwork Company, opened the meeting and welcomed members and guests.

Reg announced that a W.LC. Seminar was conducted during the past summer which included many challenging rounds of golf.

Russ Swift, representative of L. R. Smith Hardwood, presented a "swift" speech on hardwood lumber. He then introduced Paul Penberthy of Penberthy Lumber Company, who also gave a few brief remarks.

Following the speeches and some of Rodger Young's excellent cuisine, an

informative film entitled "This is Lumber" was shown. The film clearly

depicted the entire evolution of lumber

from seedling to cutting, and outlined that five hundred billion feet of lumber are located in Washington, Oregon and

California. one-third of the nation's supply. The narrator then added that lumber is necessary for the following uses: forms for damns, houses, schoolhouses, churches, newsprint, telephone poles, highways, bridges, military

weapons, barracks, packing containers, wag'ons, steamboats, modern ships,

boats, sporting goods, box cars, movie sets, and furniture. He concluded his commentary by saying that forests are the guarantee of America's future.

At the conclusion of the film, Reg Taylor announced that the time had arrived for the awarding of the door

prizes donated by Russ Swift and Paul Penberthy. Winners of the prizes were: Marvin Kasischke of Durand Door.

February of 1962 and invite all Hoo-Hoo Number 2's Steering Committee Gollops Agcin in members to bring a personal guest.

Many important decisions were made at the Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Steering Committee Meeting conducted in Rodger Young Auditorium on October 9.

Snark Joe Petrash initiated the problem-solving session by challenging the eleven attending members with the problems of the evening.

It was decided that a 54 hole golf tourney would go into its first stage at the Palos Verdes Country Club Open Meeting on October 20. The Steering Committee approved the motion to charge a $5.00 entry fee to cover the entire tournament. Don Gow, golf chairman, stated that he would personally iron out all details.

Lee Kramer, of the Entertainment Committee, announced that Mr. Chris Gugas would present an exciting program entitled "The Truth About Lie f)etection" at the October 20 meeting.

If Mr. Gugas is unable to attend an alternate program will be presented.

The Steering Committee decided to award door prizes of $10.00 and $5.00 at the October 20 meeting. They also agreed to award a door prize of $100.00 at some future meeting, but that the exact date of the particular meeting involved will remain a secret.

It was announced by Joe Petrash that an open "Gripe Night" will be

fill this vacancy and will receive as-

Don Jewett volunteered to form a phone committee to contact members on all future meetings. He expressed the opinion that this would do much to increase attendance.

A Host Committee was organized to greet all members when they arrive at meetings under the direction of Ken Kenofel. The people on this committee will wear name tags and try to make every person attending the meeting feel at home.

The final suggestion of the evening was mentioned by Lee Kramer. Lee suggested that the Steering Committee investigate the possibilities of organizing an airplane trip to Las Vegas to meet with the Las Vegas Hoo-ffoo, do the town, and play with the galloping dominoes. This suggestion was held in abeyance until the November Steering Committee meeting.

Those present at the Steering Committee meeting were: Don Jewett, Lee Kramer, Harold Cole, Harvey Koll,'Jim Forgie, Don Bufkin, Joe Petrash, Less Foor, Don Gow, Ben Gardiner and Phil Kelty.

The Steering Committee decided to cancel the long-standing suggestion of a Contractor's Guest Night. Instead they will hold a general "Guest Night"

(Tell them Aou sau) it in The California Lumber Merchant)

held on November 13. Joe hopes that

all members carrying gripes against the club or its present organization will bring them before the Steering

Committee at this special meeting.

Lee Kramer was asked to coordinate on entertainment for the November 17 meeting at Knowllwood Country Club with Larry Weiland. It was decided this was important because the next committee meeting is to be held only four days before the open meeting.

Joe Petrash announced that he had checked with Bill Bright of the Valley Hoo-Hoo Club on the possibility of getting the two clubs together for bowling and golf. Bill agreed that it

was a good idea and said that he would appoint a Bowling Committee to investigate the bowling facilities in the area of Knollwood.

Because Harvey Koll was elected Snark of the Universe. and has manv nerv duties to carry out, he *as relieved from his position as committee chairman of the Lumbermen's Placement Bureau. Ole May was selected to sistance from Harold Cole.

RAylnond 3-f 147

Bundler, the new machine being operated with touch control is designed to wrap pressure-sensitive "Scotch" brand filament tape around a wide variety of rigid or thin wall conduit, steel and copper tubing, and numerous other long, slender objects.

It can be quickly. controlled bv the turn of a dial to meter out the desired number

of tubes or conduit automatically and ar-

range them in the shape desired for a specific packaging, shipping, or material hindling operation. Arranging is done simultaneously and automatically, and selected bundle shape is maintained during the entire taping cycle. The machine achieves a tight uniform bundle by controlling the tensiorr of

the tape.

Heavily constructed for reliable operation,

the machine is designed for bundles up to 6 inches in diameter. Standard models- are

available for tube and conduit lengths of up to l0 and 20 feet. The machine may be spe-

cially ordered to handle almost any size length, however.

Poine on the Price of Freedom

These are times that try men's souls.

The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will in this crisis shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and

woman. Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we attain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; 'tis dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it should be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be lightly rated.

The Mysierious Ecrsl A Japanese importing firm had an account against a

lady to which she paid no attention in spite of her bills and urgent letters soliciting payment. So the head of the firm wrote her a letter, which read like this: "Dear Madam: If you do not at once send the money which is owed here, we will immediately take such liberties as will cause you the utmost astonishment."

Lirle Men ond Big

It is interesting to watch and listen when strangers meet.

The small man will immediately begin to tell of his accomplishments or achievements. The big man will say little of his success.

The unimportant individual seems to feel that must 'get over' a good first impression of his consequence. The man

of weight can afford to wait.

Nothing is quite so sure a sign of a man's smallness as his high pretensions of oppressive greatness.

The big man does not have to brag-the little man must.

Discount that man who immediately begins to tell what he has done.

Hurry not to tell how big you are.

A small boy who was sitting next to a very ritzy lady

in a crowded street car kept sniffing in a most annoying way, until the haughty lady could stand it no longer.

Hubbord on Loyqlfy

Loyalty is that quality which makes a person true to the thing he undertakes.

Loyalty supplies power, poise, purpose, ballast, and works for health and success.

Nature helps the loyal man.

If you are careless, slipshod, indifferent, nature assumes that you wish to be a nobody, and grants your prayer.

Loyalty, in one sense, is love, for it is a form of attraction.

A vaccilating mind is a slick mind, in a sick body. Vaccilation is lack of loyalty-and it is a disease.

Loyalty is not a mere matter of brain capacity; success does not go to those who know the most-it gravitates to those who are true to the cause they undertake. "This one thing I do."

Every man who succeeds in anything wins through his unflinching, unfailing, tireless loyalty.

Success hinges on loyalty. Be true to your art, your business, your employer, your firm. Dalliance is defeat.

"All is fair in love and war" is a maxim that may be true as regards war, but never as to love.

Love is founded on faith, and he who violates faith vitiates his own nature and wrecks the venture.

Loyalty is for the one who is loyal. It is a quality woven through the very fabric of one's being, and never a thing apart, Loyalty makes the thing to which you are loyal yours.

Disloyalty removes it from you.

The Young Preocher's Mission Preacher stories come and preacher stories go, but none of them is ever any better than that grand old one about the young preacher and his first sermon.

He was a recent graduate, had received his call to preach

and rose before his congregation to deliver his first real sermon. He had worked hard and laboriously on it, and determined to start off with a bang, having learned that the two most important parts of any address are a good start and a good finish. So he began: "My dear friends, in accepting this pastorate, I do so with a deep sense of the obligations that rest upon a minister of God, even in this too-modern age. I came to this congregation to do my best to follow in the footsteps of the Master, my mission being, so far as I am able, to heal the dead, to cast out the sick and to raise the devil."

It has strong customer interest, as well, for the D.S.C. dealer is right in the picture by name and location"' He said that D.S.C. has order-profit performance because it gives the salesman vital support in terms of full line selling.

Since orderly distribution in most any segment of the business community is 'hard to come by' nowadays," he declared, "a marketing plan that provides a retailer with a 'built-in' sales control at the point of sale gives him and his supplier a brighter earnings potential than one that opens the sale at an auction level.
