Don't let them ## our timber lands!

I f propored plans are enacted to take thousands of acres of commercial timber lands for a National Park, the whole economy of the Redwood lumber region could collapse millions of dollars would be lost from the tax roll thousands of workers would be unemployed and many fine old companies would be forced out of business.

!7e therefore join with the entire indusrry in protesting this unjust and unnecessary proposal by a Department of the U.S. Government.

NEED IS FOR DEVETOPMENT OF PRESENT PARKS

Therearenowmorethan100'000acresof*"o*o;sofwhich nearly two-thirds are in our immediate Redwood area. The need is not for more Redwood groves in the State Parks, but rather for development within those Parks, since they are seriously lacking in camping and recreational facilities.

The Gentle Art of Answering "How much will thot cost me"

In response to a number of recent remarks we had heard from a variety of people with no axe to grind we decided to do a one day, one man, informal survey to see if there was any basis for what we had heard.

What had tickled our curiosity was that the only thing any of these people had in common was that they were do-it-yourselfers and all had claimed to have been frustrated to some degree or another in their efiort to get any meaningful help from the lumber and building materials dealers they visited.

The words 'meaning{ul help' are the key ones here. And even our short, informal, unscientific checkout tended to verify that unfortunately their complaints are all too real.

It seems that when the customer, sometimes with wife in tow, first comes in the store or yard everything is fine. The rub comes when the customer asks a simple question and doesn't get a simple an$wer. Now we won't dispute that some of the customers seem a Little simple themselves, but that's not the point.

What is involved here is the delicate art, and that is the only thing you can call it, of explaining what is probably a complicated

subject to someone who knows nothing about it in language so clear and simple that it can be easily understood.

The people we spoke with faulted the people selling the do-it' yourselfer for trying to snow the customer, not show him. They felt that the dealer talked in shop terms that might mean some' thing to us, but let's face it, probably doesn't mean anything to the guy who just wants "some kind of boards to put up a little thingamajig."

All it takes to kill ofi the enthusiasm in a budding home handy' man is to embarrass him by answering his questions with your questions that he can't answer and which he probably feels makes him look silly in his wife's eyes.

Perhaps it seems a small point, but then people often get their noses out of joint over small things. Take a look at your opera' tion and see if any of your customers might feel this way. Ve hope not.

Reoson qnd Common Sense

By the time you read this issue the election oI 1964 will have been held and the voters will have chosen the man who is our president.

Naturally we have our preference as you do, but we hope that whoever the president is he will approach the problems of the massive forest products industry by using all the force of his office to see that reason and common sense are used in making and applying the decisions that will affect the one out of every ten workers in the United States who is employed in some phase of our business.

(Weyerhaeuser makes 19 different hardboards)

this side starts your sale

Weyerhaeuser makes 1g types of hardboard-standard, tempered, utility, perforated, striated, grooved, even primed.

No other line is quite like it. These hardboards differ in oolor, quality and physical properties.

And most builders know it.

This simplified line is not so broad that it will com_ plicate your inventory, yet it covers everything your ctrstomers may ever want in hardboard.

...this side clinches it!

But it's the Weyerhaeuser name on the back of every panel that really sews up the sale.

No other firm iu the building industry carries so well known a reputation for integrity and quality of product.

Weyerhaeuser hardboards have to be good to live up to the name. This is the all important difierence that makes Weyerhaeuser hardboards so easy to sell.

Maior Changes Made at 73rd Annual Hoo-Hoo Convention

rnHE 73RD AN\UAL convention of the I International Order of Hoo-Hoo, held in Toronto in mid-september, marked a milestone in the history of this ancient order.

The delegates assembled voted unanimouslv lo amend the by-lans to prolide for (among minor changes): (l) a fourteen-man board o{ directors to streamline the administration of the order, and (2) a $3 raise of the annual dues, designed to cover budget deficits and enable the international office to develop active programs as opposed to housekeeping duties.

Robert "Bob" Holder. 74023, for the past l8 months administrative assistant, was elevated to executive vice president, and thus became in efiect the chief stafi man of the order.

That magnificent man, Ben F. Springer, 34265. who almost single handedly pre' served the order through good times and bad, retired as secretary (executive), but remained on the board as secretary (recording). To cheers, deeply sincere, but none the less long and vociferous, Ben Springer was appointed Supreme Thoth of the order, a unique position peculiarly suitable to this dedicated servant, whose election as a Hoo'Hoo Immortal was thwarted by the untimely death, shortly before the convention. of the last surviving member o{ this group-Ormie Lance, 36511-thus closing the gates of this Im' mortal Garden.

The order elected an energetic slate of officers. whose dedication and belief in the great possibilities that Hoo-Hoo affiliation offers its members. leads us to believe that this ancient order will arise to take its proper place as catalyst to draw all segments of our lumber industry together for better understanding. cooperation and progress towards our common goals.

Our salute and best wishes to the following newly elected officer-. of Hoo-Hoo: Chairman, John G. Hickey. 60300; Snark of the Universe, Glenn W. Ross. 45275;

Vice President, Alfred D. Bell, Jr., 45756; Secretary, B. F. Springer, 34265; Treasurer, Edwin F. Fischer, 4i901 ; Jurisdiction I, Howard W. Dinkel, 45020, Jabberwock; Jurisdiction II, Emanuel Litvin, 60272, Arcanoper; Jurisdiction III, Jack W. Mitchell, 70212, Custocatian; Jurisdiction IV, Jimmy B. Brunson,63039, Supreme Hoo-Hoo; Jurisdiction V, Frank L. Bodogh, 62692, Bojum; Jurisdiction VI, Robert J. Wright, 48883, Scrivenoter; Jurisdiction VII, David B. Nlarteney, 65075, Jr. HooHoo; Jurisdiction VIII, William H. Guild, Jr., 55230, Sr. Hoo-Hoo; Jurisdiction IX, Bradford T. Dempsey, 63976, Gurdon.

Especially do we congratulate able Bob Wright, 48883, Reid & Wright, Inc. of Fresno, whose talents and hard work for Hoo-Hoo over the years has culminated in his election as scivenoter to rePresent us in Region VI.

To Ben Springer, along with his manY friends, we wish the very best and grate' fully acknowledge the great debt that all the members owe him for his fine work.

That, at least, has been the experience of the School of Forestry Summer Camp, held each year at Meadow Valley in northeastern California, seven miles west of Quincy. There, in the last 49 years, some 1,700 University of California forestry stu-

Students must have completed their preforestry courses because botany and basic civil engineering are required to carry them through their camp studies.

During the session, students receive instruction in fire control, ecology of {orests and associated wildlands, photography, soils. engineering, scaling, logging, milling, road location, mensuration, timber management, fish and wildlife, and management planning.

A member of the School o{ Forestry staff serves as camp director. Others on the

school staff teach a few days to a couple o{ weeks in length during the camp period. A pair of graduate student assistants help with the teaching program, assist in instruction, and attend camp all summer.

Courses of instruction are concentrated, as the students receive an introduction at least to everything in which they will become fully proficient later in forestry. A good example is their course of fire control, a vital factor in natural resources manasement. V'hile learning. the students get the camp fire-proo{ed, and become members of

They have learned, in Summer Camp, how vital {orestry can be; that it is more than brawny men in tin hats, or handsome voung men in uni{orms standing at park entrances handing out colorful brochures, and wishing campers a happy summer. They have come to understand that forestry is a business, a profession, requiring men of vision, of intelligence, capable of making the most of America's valuable natural resources.

Begun in 1915, just a year after the School of Forestry was founded, the camp has provided a memorable experience for forestry students who have sat at the feet of giant conifers and become imbued with the spirit of the woods, and the vitality of forestry as a way of life.

Basically, the camp is a school, a I0weeko l0-unit prerequisite for majors in the UC School of Forestry. But it is more than a school- for in the camp, the incoming students learn to live and work.

a standby fire crew answerable to the Plumas National Forest, in which they are living and working. When they are called out. the1, get paid as fire crew members, the same as other forest {ire fighters, at ahout $2 per hour on a l2-hour shift.

One of the highlights of the summer is "Side Camp," and it has been described by students as "an indescribable experience." The participants move into the woods in pairs, carrying on their backs everything they need for three days' work and subsistence. During the 72 hours, they must cruise a specific half-section of land, measuring it, and analyzing productive capacity. This primitive caml) experience is not necessarily a difficult or exhaustive one. and only an interview with the adventuresome lads who have gone the route will give an inkling of the spirit and sport of the outing.

IIERE BOTH formal and informal living were given equal consideration. The tradi' tional living room and separate dining room compose a setting for gracious and informal entertaining. The kitchen, family and adjoining patio are the informal area of the home.

The bedrooms are all large enough for twin beds. They have plenty of wall spaoe preserved for flexibility in the arranging of furniture. This has been accomplished by using high sliding windows on the side walls of the two front bedrooms.

The master bedroom suite has its own private bathroom and dressing room, away from the hurly-burly of family activities. An elegant and impressive part of this layout is the extra lavatory and dressing table which opens from an alcove to the master bedroom. It is conoealed from the bedroom by folding doors.

To economize in construction and present a better floor plan layout, the family bath has been located next to the master bath. A third bath is ofi the service.

The wide sliding glass doors openipg from the living and family rooms to the rear admit plenty of light yet are proteeted from the sun by the roofed patio.

One of the outstandins features of the old fashioned kitchen and still good torlay is having plenty of space for the enjoying of family meals. This kitchen also has an unusual amount of both under-counter and wall cabinets storage space. This has been increased considerably by the addition of a wide pantry.

From the garage with its abundant stor. age areas, there is direct access to the service via a covered breezeway.

Highlights of this charming ranch exterior are the treatment of the front wall of the garage, the bay windows at the front of the bedroom wing and the roofed porch lvhere part of the porch has been eliminated in front of the kitchen sink so as to form an inexpensive but appealing planting area.

Russiqn Forestry Woes

Serious shortcomings continrretl to plague Soviet forestrt' operations this year. according to a surley underiaken by Radio Liberty, a private agency which broadcasts to behind the Iron Curtain. These are some of the prohlems said to be besetting Sor itt [or,.slry ofEt ials.

"A gap exists betrveen tht: r'olume of tirnher crrt and replenishing of the forcsts. l,ittle c:onsideration is given to draining wet forest art'as. Lumber enterpriscs allow serious infractions o{ the rules of lorest management in the forest o{ the llussian Repub lics. The level of mcchanization in the timber industry remains exlremelv low. l'orestry machines and equipment are produced hy industry in insulficient qrrantitv and are of low qualitv. Forest fires also do great economic damage. The economic councils do not build errough fire-preventiorr roads and do not take adequate measures for ertirrgui,.hing forest fires."

HANKSGIVING DAY is turkey day. Some bird, that tur' key! Iflhether you consider him historically or as the centerpiece foi a big hom. ditttter, he plays a splendid part in our national life. Weli said the poet when he wrote: o'To feed the hungry pilgrims, he suffered and he bled and yielded up his plumage to make a feather bed." His praise should be sung by our bravest and best. He needs the sort of eulogy that my friend John Bonner once gave the Texas chicken' John was inviting a convention oJ Hoo-Hoo to hold their next meeting in Texas and he said: "I invite you in the name oI those yaller-legged Texas chickens, who raise their raucus voices in the wee small hours of the morn' ing, testifying to their willingness to fulfill the destiny provided foi them by their maker, and lay down their simple lives that you may feast."

The football season is with us. Football is a blessing for this weary world. It is a grand sport for those who watch, and for those who play. Football teaches young men the value of things that will lu.t ih"- all through their lives. They learn the fine returns that come for an investment in clean living; they learn the value of cooperation; they learn the great worth of enthusiasm; they learn that men in teams who won't be beaten are hard to beat. They likewise learn that it takes strong men to 'be good losers; that hard beatings temper the quality of men and football teams. The lesson the young man learns in football he carries with him all his life.

And now let us talk about my favorite poet. His name was RudyardKipling.

Think of this man, Kipling. No divine right made him a king, but he was more than any king has ever been; he was genius unquestionable; a flaming mentality that wrote its mark so high and so definitely on the scroll of time, that it will never be erased. God touched him with that brush of genius. Kipling became immortal long before his death. God not only gave him immortality, but bequeathed to him the right to delegate immortallty. Will the characters he built, the songs he sang, thc stirring philos-

BY JACK DIONNE

ophies he penned, the mighty patriotism he painted ever die, think you ?

As long as Britain lives-yes and perhaps long afterw-ardas long a-s the English tongue is spoken; the words of Kipling will remain deeply imprinted in the minds and upon the liier-1tu1e of rnankind. A thousand years hence, when the passing of Kipling's own soul has been long forgotten, men will sit with lumps in their throats as they listen 1o that mighty song of the passing of the soul of Danny Deever. * * * t

Will Mulvaney ever die? He who had been a corporalo but r'vas "rejuced"? Wili the Colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady and their proclaittt"d under-skin sisterhood, ever cease to be? Will the time !u", "o*" when the devotion of that Lazarooehian leother Gunga Din will cease to be solace to the souls of men? Will Britain ever cease to spring to attention at 'oOh, God of Hosts be with us yet, lest we foiget, lest we forget?" Will the Eton school boys rallying cry, o'Play up, play up, and play the game," ever be forgotten? Will the Road to Mandalay ever be less a thorough{are of romance and of sentiment than it*is ,*"t?* *

We ought to have a "Read Kipling" year, the world over. We should read again, and learn again, and live again in the companionship of - his immortal characters and words. One of the sweetest things he ever wrote was the introduction to "The Seven Seas," in which he apologizes for stealing stories. "When 'Omer tuned his bloomin' lyre," he said, "'e'd 'eard men sing by land and sea, and what 'e thought 'e might require, 'e went an' took, the same as me. They knowed 'e stole. 'e knew they knowed. They didn't cry or make a fuss. Just winked at 'Omer up the road. An' 'e winked back, the same as us'"

So kings will come and kings will go, but there will be no more Rudyard Kiplings to brighten and enthuse and entertain and inspire faltering men. Let us be grateful, therefore, that his thoughts and his words and the men and women who flame across his pages, are left behind as OUR heritage, immortalized by his genius, utterly indestructible.

WIB Promotion Plons for 1965

Outdoor billboards will constitute the major advertising effort by the Wood Information Bureau in 1965, sources reveal.

Approximately 90 boards will be posted each month for six months on an every-other-month basis. The boards will illustrate the use of wood in walls and ceilingg floors, cabinets and built'ins, siding and roofs, windows and doors, and in commercial construc' tion.

In addition to the heavy outdoor schedule, strong emphasis will be placed in publicity with the preparation of a "wood handbook" for distribution to leading builders and architects in the southern California area. These handbooks, along with copies of four-color trade magazine inserts, will also be supplied to member firms of WIB for distribution to their customers.

Spot radio, featuring a musical "jingle" commercial, will be .r."d fro- time to time throughout 1965 on several AM and FM stations. Feature stories on the use of wood in commercial and residential construction will also be prepared for the major metropolitan newspapers.

Several lumber associations have indicated an interest in planning advertising efiorts to "tie'in" with t}e WIB program, thus increasing the over-all effectiveness of the combined advertising efforts.

Hurricane-harried Florida is rapidly becoming a giant'sized booster of the giant-sized W'estern red cedar tree which grows only in the Pacific Northwest and coastal British Columbia.

When Hurricaue Dora shattered the historic city of St. Augustine, Florida, with its fist-like winds in early September, the_ most prominent survivor among building materials was the sturdy hand' split red cedar shake.

Earle W. Newton, executive director of the St. Augustine His' torical Restoration and Preservation Commission, noted that o'the wind resistance of red cedar shakes is undeniable."

"The force of Hurricane Dora was the greatest of any hurricane to hit this section of Florida in history," Newton said, "but these stout shakes did not budge a bit. We are presently using this fact to attempt to persuade more people to apply this kind of roof rather than those more readily and cheaply applied."

The commission is specifying handsplit red cedar shakes on all of the restoration work being done in the venerable Florida city.

The wind resistance characteristics of the red cedar shingle and shake are well known to member mills of the industry' Hurricane Carla, which struck the Gulf Coast of Texas in 196I, boosted sales of wood roofing immediately and led directly to removal of insurance penalties against cedar roofs in that state.

In L962, the savage onslaught of Typhoon Frieda in Washington and Oregon, yielded up millions oJ dollars in property damage but failed to loosen shingled roofs even in areas of maximum impact.

Wood's Fovorcrble Cost

The cost of constructing wood-frame commercial, industrial, and school buildings in five major U.S. cities has been shown to be significantly lower than for other popular types of construction'

According to the cost comparison study compiled by construc' tion cost specialists E. H. Boeckh & Associates, Inc., the cost of building the same bowling alley, warehouse, and school building, based on the prevailing materials prioes and labor costs in the five cities-New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Denver and San Fran' cisco-were as much as 38 percent higher than wood frame to build the bowling alley in San Franciseo I as much as $36,000 more to build the warehouse in New York; and as much as $21,000 more to build the school building in San Francisco.

One of the most fascinating methods used is prefinishing, which, despite some early staggers as the complexities were ironed out, has become one o{ the industry's best methods in improving the product and making it more competitive rvith substitute materials.

A new firm to enter the field is Willits Redi Prime, a division of the respectecl Willits Redwood Products Company which sot into the business with its recent take' over of the plant formerly operated as Girard Custom Coaters.

In describing the operation, Willit's Stan Hulett stressed that the plant is a custom prefinishing plant, and that while the parent company will use the facility, the main {unction u'ill be to run as a custom operation. He added that they feel their services are not available anywhere else in the area and that the plant is open to anyone who desirt's to have anl' tvpc of prefinishing done.

And any type of prefinishing is an apt description as Willits Redi Prime is well set up to handle the number of varied customer requirements demanded in to' day's market.

The comprehensive production line, set up to operate with a maximum of automation, can handle not only the usual items in lumber such as finish, Pattern and siding but al-"o is keyed in {or the allied wood products such as plywood, door skins, mouldings and hardboards plus a number of even more specialized products. Willits Redi Prime can also prefinish in any color the customer may choose and also ofiers a water repellent treatment.

Heading up the oPeration is Chet Ihinger, a knowledgeable veteran with a wide range of experience in the field. Sales are handled by the parent company anrl they will use the same phone number and address as Willits Wood Products. I'he plant is located in VIillits. California on Sh"ll Lurl" and has Northwestern Pacific trackage directly to the Plant'

The complete plant and the ttature oi it's location and equipmt'nt allow the smali operator to provide this service to his customers without the tremendous outlay o[ capital needed to begin such facility.

Holderness Supplies of Tucson Arizona Continues Warehouse Expansion Program

As an old-time mining engineer and construction man Ed Holderness was well suited after years in underground mining, to become southern Arizona distributor for Hercules Powder Co. late in 1940.

The business continued as such until Ed's stepson, Bill Daily. joined him when he returned from World War II. At this time the business became a partnership called Ed llolderness Mine & Contractor's Supplies.

Soon the partnership became the distributor for Union W'ire Rope Corp., of Kansas

City, Mo., and also began selling lumber to retail yards as a desk-wholesaler.

As a retail lumber yard desk-wholesaler the partnership sold Douglas fir, pine, red' wood and plywood and participated heavily in sales of mining timbers.

In December 1958, Bill and his wife, Kit, purchased the entire assets of Ed Holder' ness Supplies, Inc., and Ed Holderness re' tired. Explosives, Inc. was sold outright to a third party.

In April 1960, Ed Holderness Supplies,

It also expanded the mine supplies division of the company to ventilation tubing, drill steel, drill bits and numerous other mine sup' plies items.

In September 1960 Bob Large joined its stafi and created the building materials division carrying nationally known items.

Because of a three-fold increase in inven' tory the company moved to its present quarters at 3502 E. 34th St. in December 1962 where it has 20,000 sq. ft. of ware' house space, a 2500 sq. ft. office and a total of 171,5500 sq. ft. of land area with a private 500 foot spur that can be lengthened to 700 feet when needed.

In October 1963 the company purchased additional product lines from a friendly competitor, Lumber Dealers Supply, now out of business.

The 16 employees of the companY are led by Bill Daily through his general man' ager, Ray Gross. The operating structure is a departmentalized one with the mine supplies division headed bv Wendell Bivens, the building rnaterials division by Bob Large and the lumber and plywood division by Ed Jolurson. There is no central pur' chasing as each department head buys his own inventory and is also active in sales. The company has four other people on the floor to assist in sales, inventory, and book' keeping. It also has two outside salesmen.

U.S. Plywood Deqler Chief

William Lehrburger has been named di' rector of dealer marketing for United States Plywood Corporation, president Gene C. Brewer has announced.

"This is a new position created to take fullest advantage of our headquarters dealer program," Brewer said. o'This program, a major change in marketing approach to the lumber dealer, was launched a year ago and has been highly successful in establishing close branch-dealer relationships throughout the country."

According to Dave Mackin, sales manager of Hallinan-Mackin, o'the program is designed to dernonstrate to dealers and flooring stores that there is a large potential market for Forrest Wood Flooring, an economical, attractive flooring that is so hard it won't dent under the impact o{ ladies' spike heels. We believe that the advertisements, mailers and merchandising aids we are offering will not only boost dealer sales of Forrest W'ood Flooring, a highly profitable item, but will also assist in increasing traffic. The flooring store and dealer can't help but benefit from the program."

San Diego Club Honors Seibert

Lysle Seibert's forty years at Dixieline Lumber in San Diego were awarded recognition by Club Three at their September meeting, along with the installation of new officers and awarding of the Perpetual Trophy.

The club presented Seibert with a set of ornamental scales. He had earlier received the traditional, inscribed gold watch from a genuinely grateful Dixieline for his years of excellence. Beginning as a truck driver in 1924 he soon moved to counter sales and at his retirement had complete charge of the mill and was manager of the sash and door department.

The presidential post at the club moved from retiring president Perry Smith to new president Ed Gavotto. Ed's father Carl had earlier been resident president. Other officers elected were: Clyde Jenkins, vp, and Chuck Hampshire, secretary-treasurer.

Gene Truck rolled up smoothly as winner to take home the Perpetual Trophy. He also rvon low net and low gross. As Ed Gavotto put it, 'a good day's work."

Present at the meeting were no less than seven former club presidents, one of whom was Lysle Seibert.

Evons Products Soles Meet

Monford A. Orlofi, president of Evans Products Company, headed a delegation of the company's management and sales ex' ecutives present at Fort Wayne, Indiana for a two-day moeting to discuss sales and promotional plans of the Plywall and building materials divisions for the coming year.

Seventy-two executives from the company's 40 distribution cenirrs and 12 manufacturing plans were present, including Orlofi, C. Calvert Knudsen, executive vice presiden! and Lawrence Flahive, vice president and general manager of Evans' Plywall division.

Plans for new products to be introduced in 1965 were discussed at the meeting. New merchandising aids, sales aids, sales promotion displays, and packages were exhibited, and advertising strategies were emphasized.

Fort Wayne is the original home of Evans Plywall division, and now is home for one of the division's manufacturing plants. Headquarters are at Corona, California. Principal products of that division are Poly-Clad Plywall prefinished paneling, Poly-Clad Duro-Grain prefinished paneling, and Plywall prefinished moldings.

Through its building materials division, Evans is also one of the country's foremost producers and distributors of plywood, hardboard, prefinished interior paneling and related products.

Home office of Evans Products Company is Portland, Oregon. A third division, transportation equipment, is located in Plymouth, Michigan, and is the nation's leading manufacturer of railroad freighi load and damage prevention eluipment.

Populofion ls the Key

A population increase of more than 200,000 persons in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties in the next five years will support an annual construction program o,f some 19,000 dwelling units, according to an estimate by Shipley-Stewart Corporation, a Downey, Calif. research and management consulting firm. Almost $2 billion in homes, apartments and townhouses will be erected in the two county area between now and 1970,

Comparing San Bernardino and Riverside counties to Orange and Santa Clara counties, the firm cautioned dealers to keep a regular close check on population trends and their implication with regard to housing demand and the resulting home improvement markets.

Boy Areo's McKinney Hcrndymd Does u lively Deoler Business

One of the livelier of the Bay Area's small hardwood yards is McKinney Hard' wood Company, which opened its yard in Oakland this July. In the good hands of Verlon McKinney, it looks like a sure bet to continue the company name, so long a part of the business in northern California.

The company was started by Arthur S. McKinney in 1932 at San Jose and incor' porated under the name McKinney Hard' wood Company July L,1947.

The hardwood end of the business came into being in 794/" when Stephen A. Mc' Kinney joined the company as manager of the Los Angeles yard. During this period the company built a sawmill at longviewo Vashington, to saw Pacific Coast hardwoods and ship to Los Angeles, via steamer, where the company had dry kilns built in 1947.

It was at that time that the kiln departmento under the management of Rex Wall and with help from the lumber buying trade in southern California, originated the now famous "Honey colored Alderr" still ueo bv the furniture trede in nogt of il.the countrv. With this new method the lumber was dried with an even color and used in natural finishes.

The Los Angeles yard was sold to Simmons interbsts in 1952 and McKinney then

opened a small yard in Hayward, Calif., carrying a full line of hardwoods and related products. It is the Hayward property that is now in Oakland and operated by his son, Verlon McKinney.

The Oakland yard carries a line of

Southern, Eastern and imported hardwood lumber with the retail lumber dealer and millwork plant in mind. Regular delivery service is made, in company trucks, throughout the Bay Area.

An Oplimistic Reel Lumber Expands Soles qnd Services

E. G. Reel, president and founder of Reel Lumber Service in Los Angeles, has announced he has promoted his son Gil Reel to executive vice president and has named Rex Perrine to the post of vice president in charge of production.

At the time of the announcement Reel also declared his firm was entering an expansion program that would include additional salesmen and operation's personnel, along with a larger more diversified inventory of imported and domestic hardwoods, ponderosa and sugar pine.

The Reel Lumber Service was established 32 years ago and has been in its present location for more than 30 years. Gil Reel and Rex Perrine have been with the company since graduating from school and have learned the business from the ground uP.

"We have shown a steady growth during the past years and continue to offer the southwestern trade quality service, tlre finest hardwoods and pine of the highest grade," said E. G. Reel.

Portable Wood Classrooms

Ever since the end of World War II, the problem of finding enough space for au ever growing population of school age children has plagued school officials. Faced with the mounting costs of building, offi-

cials often viewed the situation as hopeless until just recently.

The answer has turned out to be the portable classroom. And the best of them are made out of wood. Several varieties

have been used in the East and Midwest, but new models in California boast tJre most unusual methods of erection. The Speedspace Corp. of Sonoma, Calif., manufactures this product.

Bill Stuart, Jr., who represents Speedspace in southern California described the recent installation of one of the classrcxrms in Glendale, Calif. this way: 'othe classroom arrived folded llat on a truck. They unloaded it, and then the walls and roof were just blown into position by inflating a giant balloon with an air pump. This way they can easily be put up in less than a day. In Glendale, the kids had class€s in the new room the day after it arrived by truck."

The advantage of the portable classroom include multi-purpose usage. For example, the 950 sq. ft. structure with an ideal capacity of 30 students can be used not only for teaching, but also for science rooms, work with handicapped children, and a library.

The structure also has the virtues of being FHA-approved and conforming with Unified Building Code provisions. Furthermore, the portable classrooms are under continuous inspection 'by th" state during various phases of construction.

There's nothing flimsy about the rooms, weighing 28,000 pounds, about twice as much as a conventional office building of (Contirrued, on Page 84)

Evons "One-Slop Shopping"

Evans Products Company has recendy started ofrering customers a 'oone-stop shopping" type of plywood sales operation 'with highly mixed ears of many specialty products including millwork and moulding now available.

"With tle addition of a millwork department, we are now able to ofier part carloads of Evans plywood filled out with items such as Ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, white fir or lauan mouldings; pine or fir inside door jambs and outside door framesl and Douglas fir and hemlock panel or sash doors," according to Robert L.

Goodrich, general sales manager of Evans building materials division.

"The millwork and moulding items will mix conveniently with our marine plywood, hardwood plywood, prefinished paneling, primed siding and other specialty products," Goodrich said.

"We believe that our customers will value this inventory control feature. Those who find it cumbersome to purchase a straight car of millwork and mouldings can now buy them in smaller quantities at carload rates," he said.

Goodrich added that Evans is particular as to the quality of the millworlc shipped under the company name, and is confident

the customer will be pleased witl the texture and machine work.

"Quality and service are the keystones and foundation upon which Evans Products Company has built its business. While we are sure that we manufacture the finest hardwood overlays and specialty plywood in the industry, we never stop seeking advanced production techniques and quality control systems to give the customer even better products. The same thinking prevails in the matter of service. This 'one-stop shopping' operation is another attempt to give you even better servicer" he concluded.

The Federal Housing Administration has alerted its field omces to be on the lookout for framing and board lumber stamped rvith fraudulent grade marks.

FHA noted that several cases of forseries and deceptions in grade markings have been detected recintly on the East Coast. The field letter said particular attention should be given to any unusual amount of lumber with smeared stamps.

Meanwhile. Federal Trade Commission Chairman Paul Rand Dixon disclosed that his agency has launched a o'field investiga- tion to determine the extent of the practice of misrepresenting grade marked lumber." Dixon, in a letter to Rep. James Roosevelt, revealed that the investigation was started Sept. 9, prior to the congressman's Sept. 2l request for -.uch a probe. "You may be assured that the matter is being pursued expeditiously and that such action as may be found warranted from the facts developed will be undertaken in the public interest," Dixon added.

NIMA Plons Reopprqis<rl

The main thrust of the National Lumber Manufacturer's Association's 1964 annual meeting, being held from the 9th to llrh this month in Phoenix, Ariz., rvill be toward helping lumber manufacturers achieve greater value for their trade association dollars. The threc-day mccting ruill lay the groundwork for an intensr'vc four-month reappraisal of the industry's entire trade association structure, to be conducted by a 32-man committee on industrial needs. This committee rvill hold its initial meeting Nov. 7, as a preliminary to the NLI{A sessions, to chart its course.

Purpose of the study will be to recommend: (I) which NLMA and NWPP activities should be consolidated; (2) which ,'national,, programs should be increased, maintained at present levels or modified; (3) a desirable level of uniform dues; (4) a possible change in the NLMA name to better reflect future respon.ibiliti"r.

Wropped Lumber ProPoeol Goes to Groding Agencies

The Joint Materials Handling Committee, composed of representatives of manufac' turors, wholesalers and retailers, has sub' mitted a proposal to all grading agencies that the re - inspection time allowed on unitized, wrapped lumiber shipments be extended lrom the pr€sent 10 days to a period of 60 days.

If accepted such a propoeal would elim' inate the unfair position many dealers claim to find themselves in when packaged lumber is not opened until long after the expiration of the l0-day period'

The fact that packaged lumber is not always arriving at its destination in good shape was also discussed at the meeting. Representatives from the strapping and wrapping industries and the American Association of Railroads were invited into the meeting, and it was decided that ad' ditional study must be undertaken involving the size of basic units, the strapping and methods used. and procedure for ship' ment of packages.

:'Fcreei F[re Losses

For' merly at 7II9 East Telegraph Road in Loa Angeles, Deacy's firm is now quartered in a suite of offices located in Pasadena's newest and largest professional office structure, the nine-story Mutual Savings Bldg. Though business coniderations were given as the primary reasons for the move, Deacy also indicated a marked preference for the now lS-minute commute. The new Deacy offices provide nearly 700 square feet, nearly tripling the area of his old office. He noted that while moving his offices, his firm's inventory will stay at the same yardo Associated Molding Company in Montebello. The Ted Deacy Company's new address is Mutual Savings Building, Suite 409. 301 East Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena.

Cr-P's New Look in Son Diego

Georgia-Pacific's operation in the San Diego area has moved to a new facility in neighboring National City that is four times the size of the previous set'up. It's address is 2200 Hafly Avenue, National City.

Termire Shield Fqilure Cited

Metal termite shields afiord homes little actual protection against subterranean termitesn a Georgia survey disclosed recendy.

The report is based on the inspection of 3I0 houses in northeast Georgia to determine whether termite shields.-metal flashing installed between - tle foundation and wood members-meet the Federal Housing Administration's minimum property standards.

Conducted by James B. Cobb, school of forestry, University of Georgia, the survey revealed a total of I,423 installation defectsan average of 4.6 a house. No house was found with properly installed shields!

Dr. Thomas E. Snyder of the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C., inventor of the shieldo acknowledged that it has fallen into disrepute. To replace shields as a termite deterrento he now urges home owners to chemically treat the soil under their houses before construction.

This work, he noted, should be performed by professional termite control operators.

A former Department of Agriculture entomologist, Dr. Snyder is consultant for Bruce-Termix, the nation's largest termite control service.

Associqtion Pushes Wood Use

The \fiestern Wood Products Association has strengthened its field servic€ activities nationally, Wendell B. Barnes, executive vice president, has disclosed.

The department, under Albert A.Zander, will promote increased use and demand for wood products in the principal marketing regions of the U.S. Ten regional managers and five field men now contaet prime users and specifiers.

Regional olEces are in New York City, Washington, D.C., Detroit, Chicago, Adanta, Minneapolis, Dallas, Los Angeleso San Francisco and Portland with additional field men stationed at Boston, Des Moines, Greenville, South Carolina, Houston and St. Louis.

Additional field are men budseted for next year and association stafi members are currently anlalyzing market potentials.

Forest Service Promolions

Dr. Robert Z. Callaham, assistant director for forest genetics, silviculture, insect and disease research at the U.S. Forest Service experiment station at Berkelen California, will become chief of the forest genetics research branch in Washington, D.C. Callaham's successor at Berkeley will be Dr. Donald W. Lynch, new chief of the mensuration branch of the timber management research division in Washington, D.C.

Dr. Callaham was born in San Francisco. He received both his B.S. in forestryn in 1949, and his Ph. D. in botany, in 1955 from the University of California.

, He is widely known among scientists in forest genetics research. Currently chairman of the Society of American Foresterso commit' tee on forest tree improvement, he is also a member of the inter. national editorial board of Silaac Cenetica. He was a participant at the World Consultation on Forest Genetics, sponsored by FAO at Stockholm in 1963.

Dr. Lynch is a native of Montana and received his undergraduate degree in forestry from Montana State University in 1939. He studied further at Duke University where he was granted an M.F. degree in 1940 and a D.F. in 1955.

During his research career, Dr. Lynch has contributed signifi. cantly in the fields of forest growth and yield and in forest sampling methods particularly applicable to National Forest timber sales activities.

Better Construcfion Fostening Asked

Improvements in fastenings for house construction topped a list of research recommendations made to the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory by a lumber industry advisory committee meeting October 2. The annual meeting is to discuss industry ,"."ur.h needs.

In putting need for more engineering information on fastenings for housing first on its list of research recommendations, the committee stated:

"Methods of holding wood members together in a house require continued attention. Load data for the new types o{ nails, staples, tnd other potential devices now available are urgently needed. The laboratory is also requested to keep abreast oi developments in hidden fasteners and to evaluate these devices."

Burglories Agoin Increqse

The record number of nearly one million burglaries in the United States in 1963 calls for expanded efiorts by the builders, hardware industry and those connected with it to make certain that high quality, adequate locking devices are installed on all buildin-gs, said Leo J. Pantas, a vice president of yale & Towne, at the National Builders' Hardware Convention and Exposition in Los Angeles.

Pantas said the Federal Bureau of Investigation shows that in J?91, tn" number of reported burglaries incriased 9 percent over 1962, and 40 percent since 1958. The 1963 losses from these burglaries totaled more than $205 million. The number of non-residential burglaries comprised 55 percent of the 1963 total.

"This clearly indicated the need not only for more adequate lock protection, but also for a broad educational program to familiarize property owners with proper burglary prevention measures,', Pantas said.

Responding to requests from builders and flooring contractors' members of the National Particleboard Association have announced an association-wide program of panel stamping backed by written guarantees.

Member companies also have issued installation instructions desigrred to aid users of wood particleboard for floor underlayment.

Ten members of NPA, currently manufacture or market a panel engineered specifically for floor underlayment. All meet or exceed requirements of FHA use of materials bulletin UM-28 and offer written g'uaranteees providing for ei,ther refund of the full cost of installation (including labor) of the underlayment, adhesives and floor covering or satisfactory repair. Panels must be installed according to manufacturers' instructions.

Eight companies face-identify their panels. They are Brownsville Particle Board, Duraflake, Gray Products, International Paper, Forrest Industries, Pope & Talbot, United States Plywood and Weyerhaeuser.

Perquet Flooring Populor

Sharply increased use of parquet wood flooring in American homer-matched by a growing trend away from wall-towall carpeting has been forecast by Guy H. Dennis, president of WatcoDennis Corp. of Santa Monica, Calif.

Dennis said statistics compiled by his firm indicate that be' tween 35 and 45 million square feet of parquet wood flooring will be employed in new or remodeled homes and apartments throughout tlle United States during the next 12 months. This compares with less than three million sguare feet used during 1957.

'oBased on present trends, use of parquet floors should triple during the next five years," Dennis said.

He cited three factors as chiefly responsible for what he de' scribed as a "revival of decorative wood flooring in the home." 'oone is the higher cost of carpeting today-approximately $10 a square yard as against four to five dollars a square yard to put down and finish wood flooring," Dennis said. Another factor, according to Dennis, is the growing use of area or scatter rugs which expose wood borders or large areas of wood flooring.

Ed Fountain, Sr. recently attended a directors meeting of the American Institute of Timber Construction in Washington, D.C.

Even with the problems of a relatively new industry, the directors spent a good deal oI their time planning how to sell wood against competing materials.

It has been conservatively estimated that every job converted to glued laminated timbers creates a market for at least twice as much in other wood products, Fountain stated. When the basic structure is glued laminated timberso there is a strong tendency to use wood throughout the rest of the building, he concluded.

New Millwork Stondqrd lssued

The millwork industry now has a Commercial Standard for the preservative treatment of wood windows, screens, blinds, shutters, doors, frames, and trim, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. It is entitled Water-Repellent Preservative Treatment for Millrvork.

The department has been cooperating for 43 years rvith trade groups that request assistance in establishing such voluntary standards for their products through broad industry acceptance. This standrrd was rcquested by the National \I-oodwork Manufacturers Association.

Its development with the cooperation of the Forest Laboratory was followed by general endorsement from architects, home builders, wood preservative manufacturers, millwork manufacturers, jobbers, and building material retailers.

The treatment improves resistance to swelling, shrinkage, and warpage due to moisture absorption, and thereby reduces decay and stain resulting lrom excessive moisture. Requirements for water-repellency and toxicity o{ the preservative solutions, and for the vacuum and immersion methods of treating millwork are given, as well as test methods {or detcrmining the properties of the solutions and depth of solution penetration into the treated prodrrct.

Wood Stress Vqlues Studied

A new approach to the problem of developing rvorking stresses for, plywood,--glued laminated structural m.rnbeir, and poles and piling as well as lumber was taken at the annual met,tilnc of the American Society for Testing and Materials, OctoLer 5-7.

{he_ group, which develops standards for promulgation by ASTM, met at the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory in iVisconsin.

A new subcommittee on clear wood rvas set up to study the working stress problem, according to Chairman Lyman W. Wood. He explained that the past practice of adapting stress values for lumber to the other products has not proved entirely satisfactory, and that specific working stresses {or each material need to be worked out.

The subcommittee n'ill ro.ierv data on wood strength from all reliable sources, determine average values, and develop general principles applicable to lumbcr, plywood, Iaminated wood, and round timbers. In line with thesc principles, the average values will be adapted to each specific category of wood products invoh'ed.

Chairman Vood said the work of the new subcommittee will serve as a basis for a new standard on clearlvood strength properties and point the way toward a better basis for agrecment among various segments of the wood industries and rescarch agencies.

Aluminum Associqtion Sets Plqn

Today's home buyer is looking for quality and to in,surc that hc gets it, aluminum and glass producers. building products manufacturers, and trade association sroups are combining their forces, it has been revealed at a recent Architectural Aluminum ManuIaclurcrs Associal ion meeting.

Lawrence A. Han'er. president of Harvev Aluminum, Inc.. said three significant trends in home building today are benefitting the home buyer. Harvey rroted improved designs for homes, wider use of maintenance.Irtc products, and higher quality are now available to the home purchaser of 1964.

He said that his firm, along with the eight other producers of prime aluminum and sla,*s who are associate members of AAMA. see the continued trend toward maintenance-Iree building products. He cited this as one of the reasons lor the soaring popularity of aluminum windows and sliding glass doors in western cities.

The Ever Increasing Uses of Chemically - Treated Wood

The vigorous pole-type construction oI the new swimming pool pavilion and aux' iliary buildings at Jackson Hole Lodge reflects the rugged beauty o{ its Grand Teton setting, as well as the sturdy log building of its pioneer settlers.

Pole columns and rafters pressure-treated with Chemonite were employed to cr:eate

an updated version of a western tepee. The effect, to suggest "logs frozen in motion," was achieved by arranging 18 3S-foot long Chemonited pole rafters in a double-curved hyperbolic shape supported by pole columns and held stable by a tension cable and a central compression ring around a skylight. No interior sup-

ports were necessary. A corrugated'iron ceiling is hung inside the rafters.

In addition to the 40-foot diameter pool shelter, other buildings in the $110,000 project were framed by Chemonited poles embedded in concrete. These stockade-type structures include dressing and shower cubicles, toilets. pool filters and an electri' cal substation. The dressing facilities are made of colored asbestos panels between pole columns with a redwood trellis roof.

The architects state that satisfaction of their design requirements was the primary reason for their choice o{ pole type con' struction for the project, with economy as a happy bonus feature.

Ver,tically Laminated Beams and Decking

New vertically laminated wood beams and laminated wood roof decking will be displayed by Weyerhaeuser Company at the NLBMDA national exposition at Dallas, Texas, November 18-20.

They are new companion products, high in appearance value to serve the increasingly popular post-and-beam architecture but economical and carefully engineered to meet structural load requirements of light construction uses. Both have uniform moisture contents oI l2-l1Vo; both have water-proof gluelines; both cost less than previous similar products.

The beams, of Douglas fir, have the appearance of natural wood, free from horizontal gluelines; they are treated with a vrater-repellent sealer toned to lessen contrast between sapwood and heartwood. Lengths of 12 ft. to 60 ft. and sizes of 4x10, 6xl0 and 6xI2 are ofiered; the beams are pre-tested {or stiffness and wrapped for protection.

Laminated decking of light-colored hemlock is machine-sanded on the face for the finest finish and is availabr. tn 3*6,3r/2x6 and 4x6 sizes. Each section of deckins is end-matched. center-matched and *ittt

edges beveled to form a V-grooved joint. The kiln-dried products, already in productiono are manufactured under an exclusive Veyerhaeuser process rather than the "horizontal" gluing common to other laminated beams.

Weyerhqeuser qt Record Level

Sales and earnings of Weyerhaeuser Company climbed to record levels for the third quarter and the first nine months. President Norton Clapp announced.

Clapp said third-quarter earnings of 920,118,000 were the highest of any quarter on record, more than doubling the figure for the comparable 19613 period and exceeding net income for the third quprter oI 1962 by 84 percent.

Nine-month earnings, up 79 percent from the corresponding 1963 period, totaled $52,177,000, or $I.70 a share.

Clapp noted that figures for the second and third quarters of 1963 were afiected by a major work stoppage in the wood products industry.

Clapp also announced the development by Weyerhaeuser researchers of a new pulping process for using Douglas fir and other softwoods in the manufacture of a paperboard now made almost exclusively from hardwoods. This particular paperboard is corrugating medium, the middle of three sheets of board used in the manufacture of corrugated shipping containers.

Clapp said the company will spend more than $2 million at Longview, Wash., next year to install a 200-ton-a-day digester and washing plant using the new pulping process. The project is the latest outlay in an expansion program under which Weyerhaeuser will spend $225 million on capital improvements in a three-year period.

Womon Wins Forestry Prize

Mrs. Dexter Otis Arnold of Saugerties, N.Y., who during her tenure as president of the General Federation of W'omen's Clubs mobilized the full force of the federation's membership behind wise forest management under the multiple-use principle, has received the Distinguished Service Award of American Forest Products Industries, sponsor of the nationwide tree-farm movement.

Mrs. Arnold quickly grasped the opportunities for federation conservation programs built on the theme that managed forests, or tree farms, serve the public interest by yielding wood for useful products along with the added benefits of wildlife, recreation, water and soil conservation.

Mobile Miss for CqnqdiEn Birch

A demure brown-eyed Miss Canadian Birch has set in motion one of the biggest storms of the hurricane season at the Eastern States Exposition in Massachusetts.

Lynda Barks is from Ottawa, Canada and is 2l years old. Her statistics are vital to her job: selling Americans on the new status symbol for better homes-Canadian yellow birch.

Assisting in her task is a crew of driver-promoters under John LeGare, a colorful Canadian with a bilingual background in direct sales and promotion. The sales pitch centers on a 35foot tandem trailer, especially equipped and decked out in all the various uses of Canadian yellow birch for private homes, churches, offices, institutions, schools and wherever walls support a roof.

The program, jointly sponsored by the Canadian Hardwood Plywood Association and the Federal Department of Trade & Commerce, has dispensed with the traditional hard sell and soft sell modes of operation. They've come up with what they call the smooth-sell. The product is honey-yellow, soft, sensitive, smooth and sensible. And the leader of the band of Canadians touring America is the.choice of lumbermen who believe in culling the less attractive or blemished, and putting on display their country's best product. 'fhe process led to Miss Canadian Birch.

Hordwood Molding Decler Disploy

BlendTrim, a nevr low-priced line of prefinished hardwood moldings from E. L. Bruce Co., is being featured irr a dealer display that Brtce officials claim "does what the retail sales clerk sometimes forgets to do."

"This display," according to Bruce sales promotion manag'er John Malmo, "a,sks for the order, and illustrates how to use prefinished molding."

Most molding displays, Mr. Malmo points out are jurt llbel€d with lhe makeds lrssle, but no hint of the product's use. The result is that the molding boards have no meaning to the average do-it-yourselfer, so that unless a clerk suggests a rrolding purchase the display is of little use.

Textured Tile Resembles Plaster to Simpson Timber Company's complete line of ceiling tile products.

Called Frosted Petit, the new ceiling tile, which has a textured plaster appearance, has contrasting tones of white hues which add further elegiance to any new ceiling when the tile is installed. The tiny perforations absorb sound striking the tile.

WRITE: Simpson Timber Co., 2100A Washington Building, Seattle 1, Wash.

The new BlendTrim display features a headline larger than the product name that urges: 'Panel like a Pro BlendTrim Completes the Job.' The idea, according to Mr. Malmo, is that a homeowner who is buying paneling may spot the molding display, and after reading the headline might ask the retail salesman if, since he is buying paneling, he needs molding, too. This would give the clerk an opportunity for a sale for which he might have otherwise forgotten to ask.

Nine molding profiles are exhibited on the display board which is 16" wide and 24" high. The display is designed for hanging on the wall, and is light green, dark brown and white in color. Molding sizes are also shown, as well as a circle for dealer pricing by the lineal foot.

Some Do's and Don'ts in Selling Home Remodeling

TYfHILE THE CUSTOMER is Rule One W in almost any businesso it is especially applicable in the home modernization department of a lumber and building supply dealer.

"The remodeling crew that least upsets the family's routines and does the neatest, most professional job wins not only a friend but a source of additional business," according to Richard J. Feight" DSC (Desigrr-Service-Counsel ) manager for Masonite Corporation, who has had first-hand

experience as a head of a dealer's home improvement department.

"One of the most effective wavs to increase remodeling volume is through referrals of satisfied customers. After your business is established, referrals can amount to almost half the total volume of work you will be handling in the future.o'

Since referrals are so important, what must the lumber dealer in the remodeling business do to get this plus business? DSC manager Feight has this advice:

"Every attempt should be made to satisfy each customer. This is the prime thing and it can be accomplished by attention to detial in keeping the family happy from start to finish."

He suggests winning the confidence of the customer before the job starts.'Thus the production supervisor insures himself against many problems later.

First, he should brief the custpmer, explaining the schedule and working conditiong the schedule oI payments and the protection of the customer's property.

He should obtain permission and ar. range for storage of materials needed on the job, get permission to put up a sign in

front of the house, and stress the impor. tance of safety for members of the family. He should leave his phone number so that complaints can be handled immediately.

"Ary complaints should be hanil"d promptlS efficiently and satisfactorily," Feight says. "Record the complaint, go to the job site if possible to determine the exact nature and take immediate steps to remove the cause. Failure to act and act guickly magaifies the original complaint and makes it harder to satisfy the customer. A record of unsatisfied complaints also damages your firmts reputation in the communitv."

Crews and sub-contractors should have instructions on how to conduct themselves on the job, he continued.

"They are the lumber dealer's second most valuable asset, next to a first-rate production supervisor. A good set of rules should require therr to be on time and be neat in appearance. They always should be polite to members of the family, and not kid anyone about the work that's being done.

"Workmen must be required to do a skillful job. Slipshod work should bring dismissal or a quick remedy. A customer will back up a good job wen if it costs a little more, and the knowing lumber dealer will pay good wages to keep the quality of his work at a peak. This is true also of materials.

"Customers appreciate having quality materials used if it's within their budget.

Where Will We Find the Lumbermenof Tomorrow?

While many referrals are spontan@us, the dealer should not hesitate to ask a satisfied customer for the names of friends and relatives who may be in the market for a home modernization project.

There are various ways, too, for letting people know you're adding a room or a dormer on the Smith residencg he adds.

"Thereos the sigrr in front. Alsq dealers havo found it effective to distribute a mimeographed sheet to the neighbors. It might say: "Early tomorrow we'll be starting an addition on the Smith home at 698 Birch street. We're sorry, but there'll be some noise for a few daysl If we can help you in any remodeling project, let us know."

California Lumber Merchant Dear Dave,

Regarding Weyerhaeuser's stand on lumber sizes as explained in your editorial of SePtember, I wanted to let You know why I am against tr/z' thick lumber at 79/o moisture content.

At 19% moisture content surplus water has been removed reducing the weight of the lumber and consequentlY cost of freight; but to call it DRY in southern California would be a misnomer. RoughlY 67Vo of the shrinkage is still to come below 19%.

From green to L9% MC shrinkage in thickness would be somewhere between l/64" and L./32" a far cry frorl t/a," (4/32"') the 1126" proponents suggested.

Why did we not accePt the 114" so-called DtY Standard and cut our lumber l/32" over?

The answer is simple. We use approximately 300 million feet of boards %" annually. Our sources produce onlY aPProximately 10O million feet, so 200 million feet annually will have to be resawn from dimension. Some yards will answer that they have had no trouble Procuring boards-True-but if other yards and mills did not produce S1S2E-boards would be scarce indeed.

In southern California alone this business in boards amounts to $100,000 per day. We have that business now and want to keep it.

How much promotion money would have to be spent to recover $100,000 per day in business ?

In Washington, D.C., November 1962, before the American Lumber Standards Committee, Paul Hollenbeck of the southern California delegation, proposed a graduated seale from green to

real dry, based on the original size which finishes L9h," gleen. THIS IS THE ONLY FAIR WAY TO START-from the original state. Arnerican Lumber Standards have been based on this for-I believe-40 Years.

Identifying the moisture contents such as l6/l9Vo MC or Lam Stock 9/!2/o could be made part of the stamp. SimPle isn't it?

I believe this could be made acceptable to both sides. TheoreticalY the gjeen, the semi-dry and the dry, would end uP being the same size. What is wrong with that ?

Who will take the first steP in this direction?

Respectfully submitted' Erik Flamer, Long Beach, Calif.

California Lumber Merchant Gentlemen, Your magazine, the Culif ornia Lumber Merohant, has been recommended to us bY Mr. Williams A. Dost of the University of California, as a reference to redwood mills and brokers.

Would you please forsa.rd a subscription form to us?

Yours very truly, Irving Rose Thorkelsson-Rose Limited Winnipeg 3, Manitoba Canada.

Dear Sirs: We just wanted to let You folks at tlne Merchant know how much we enjoyed Your story in the last issue on the history of the Ifobbs Wall Lumber Company.

To us old-timers a story about the "good old" daYs orf lumbering are the most interesting. I wonder if the lumber game will ever see daYs like that again ?

Yours Tlrrly, L. E. Adams, R. L. Adams. Long Beach, Calif.

WAREI{OUsE OPENING

these were just a few as the warehouse was full of many more items for the retail dealers.

The guests were met by Big Jim who had the keys to the Regina Wine Cellar display and was the dispenser of the cham. pagne and hors d'oeuvres. He kept bubble water flowing during the cocktail hours and right through the splendid roast beef, ham and turkey bufiet.served by Chef Harold.,Sine of the Green Turtle restaurant in 'Riverside.

At the evening's end door prizes of various items were distributed to the lucky

ories and everybody left with samples and a feeling they had been entertained like royalty-and not a sales pitch was made. Spreading it out over two nights eliminated the pressure and was a guiding factor in making this event so successful.

The new branch warehouse is located right in the central downtown district at 342 W. I Street, near the freeway and a f2-car spur.

Literally hundreds of brand-named items are carried in stock for fast action to dealers throughout Riversidg San Bernardino and Imperial counties. E. L. "Bud" Corey has been selected as warehouse manager and will keep materials rolling to customers.

Foreslers Lounch Crosh Progrom To Protect Wesf's Pine Forests

Foresters in the West have launched a crash program to wipe out an insect that threatens to cripple the productive capacity of the pine forests of the western United States.

The Northwest Forest Pest Action Council has approved a research proposal to develop methods for completely eradicating the European pine shootmoth, an invader which has become established in ornamental trees throughout parts of Washington. If it once gets into native stands in the l2-state western pine region, there is presently no efiective way known to halt its destruction o{ pine trees.

If the efiort to eradicate the shootmoth in the West is successful, it will become one of only a handful of insect species to come under complete control of man.

The Council, a cooperative-action group made up of representatives of state and federal forestry agencies and forest industry companies, is recommending several research programs, one of which may be an attempt to develop chemical attractants that would copy the distinctive odor of the female shootmoth. The misleading whifis would be used to confuse the insects, thereby preventing reproduction.

E. L. Kolbe, chief forester for Western Wood Products Association and chairman of the Council,.said other research may

also investigate raising male shootmoths in captivity, sterilizing them and turning them loose in great quantities-perhaps as many as 200 sterile males to each wild male. The objective would be to overwhelm the wild males with competition for the available mates.

The Council reiterated its stand that judicious use of chemicals is necessary to protection of the nation's forest resource and that chemicals are presently being used to preserve forests without damage to wildlife or other resources.

The Council also heard reports on a worm that rides the winds and is spreadi.g through fir forests of southeastern Oregon.

Dry Kiln Club Meeting

The Central California Dry Kiln club met September 1I in Chester, Calif., for a plant tour of the Collins Pine Company.

The tour included the power plant, sawmill, flakeboard plant, dry kilns, and shipping facilities. The club was hosted to a lunch at the Bear Club. Alan Goudy, manager of the flakeboard plant, welcomed the group on behalf of the host company. The afternoon was devoted to business and technical sessions.

A report was given on the results obtained by sending out a questionaire on topics of future discussion. From all the questionnaires sent to members only thirteen were returned to the secretary.

Club Helps Lumber Gol

For several years members of Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club No. I have been helping Irene Ridgeway, former lumber gal, sell ,Christmas cards. By sale of these cards, and other original paintings by Irene, she can be self-supporting.

You see, there is something special about Irene. In 1948, an attack of polio left her

without the use of her arms and legs. Occu' pational therapy encouraged her to try painting by holding the brush in her mouth. For many months she worked pa' tiently every day to gain the control needed to produce fine detail and expertly-shaded coloring. The unusual quality of her work must be viewed to be appreciated.

For a number of years Irene worked at the old Western Hardwood Lumber Co. and later for W. E. Cooper at the retail yard on Pico Blvd.

Mildred Dutton is chairwoman o{ the Hoo-Hoo-Ette committee to help lrene this year. You may write directly to Irene

TOUGH FORESTRY TRAINING

(Continued, lrom Page 14)

timbero yet ever-changing-is altered from year to year to meet the pattern of the times. New subject matter is introduced, as the need for new direction is revealed in research. This keeps the forestry camp and instruction alive and vital.

There is no tuition charged for summer Camp. But the students must pay for the day-to-day operations of the camp-about $200 per student for the term-and they must pitch in on work details to keep the camp running efficiently.

Because the students who attend Summer Camp must forego summer jobs during the lO-week session, alumni foresters have established a loan fund to aid ambitious youths who need a boost through Summer Camp and school. o'We don't want anyone to get fouled up in his education for want of a few dollars," the old grads say.

And most of the old grads have a strong feeling for forestry,. even after leaving school. A recent survey showed that 65 per cent of the UC forestry graduates have stayed in the profession. A former assistant Chief of the U.S. Forest Service. in a recent interview, described the discipline and

Lumber. Plywood

training ofiered at camp as "an integral part of the school" at Berkeley and Meadow Valley-and possible added factors in. keeping graduates within the profession.

This loyalty to the profession, further reflected in the financial generosity of the alumni, is only one point in evidence of the high regard in which Summer Camp is held by forestry graduates. School of Forestry staffers, seeking a line on what former students considered their most memorable experience at Cal, sent out a questionnaire recently. It must have been no great surprise to find ooForestry Summer C"*p" written on most of the reply cards.

OBITUARIES

Robert E. Dant, 58, lumber and shipping executive and a major investor in downtown San Francisco property, was found dead of an apparent heart attack in his San Francisco apartment, October 1.

He was born in Portland, Ore., in 1906, the son of pioneer Pacific Coast lumberman Charles E. Dant, founder of States Steamship Company and of Dant and Russell, Portland and San Francisco lumber firm.

As a youth, Mr. Dant worked on PortIand's docks, in logging camps and lumber mills while he studied engineering at Oregon State College. He then stepped into the sales departments of his father's companies, and for 20 years specialized in developing new markets for lumber.

He retired to La Jolla in 1956, but his vigorous interest in business brought him back to San Francisco two years later to found the Dant Investment Corporation.
