Dealers in growing numbers are endorsing the proposed new AtS lumber standards which will reduce shipping costs and storage requirements and make possible superior lumber products

NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!

Here's what you can do:

1. Write today to the National Bureau of Standards, Department of Commerce, Washington 25, D.C., expressing your support for Revised Simplified Practices Recommendation 16-53.

2. If you are on the Department of Commerce list of acceptors, vote favorably on the proposal.

The present system simply doesn't meet the building industry's need for precisely engineered lumber products. The new standards proposed by the American Lumber Standards Committee represent the greatest single potential advance in Iumber quality in many decades.

Opportunities to expand the use of wood in the construction industry are heavily dependent upon official adoption. Among other things, the new standards will: o Establish thicknesses for both green and dry lumber based on the dimensions the material will assume in place on the job. Tighten up moisture content requirements in dry lumber to 15 per cent average, 19 per cent maximum. r Provide stamped identification of all dry lumber meeting the new standards. o Produce subslantial savings in freight and storage space as a re- sult of less weight and less bulk. r Provide increased competitive advantages for wood as the result of substantial improvement in product quality.

Weyerhaeuser has supported the proposals from the outset and today we are already making kiln-dried framing to meet the new specifications.

If you support the new standards, won't you take the time now to make your voice heard?
