credit be permitted to compete with the bidders for other types of credit."

Bodine also forwarded to Cole the following resolution adopted by the Executive committee of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association:

"The present authorized rate of interest on FHA and VA insured loans is inadequate to attract the mortgage money necessary to malntain a high level of home building throughout the country.

"We urge that steps be taken to assure the availability of,mortgage money by permitting realistic interest rates in the light of existing economic conditions and removing other arbitrary limitations which discourage home buildittg."

Boyd to Open in Uplond in JqnuqrY

Occupying what is reported to be the largest lumberyard area east of Los Angeles, the Boyd Lumber Co. will open for business in Upland, Calif., early in January, according to Charles F. Jenkins, one of the owners. A lGacre site, south of Arrow Highway east of 14th Avenue, is being prepared for the yard's transfer from its former, long-established location in Alhambra. Most of the buildings to be used by the firm were already up last month, with paving of the yard and other facilities to be completed.

"Our facilities in Upland are larger than will be needed at the outset but we are looking to the future development of the Southland and expect all of the area will eventually be in use." Dealer Tenkins said.

Goldwell of Curron Yord Wins Hi-Fi First Prize in Zeesmon tSeriest Contesl

"Luck had nothing to do with it," says Russ Caldwell, purchasing agent for the Frank Curran Lumber Co. in Santa Ana. "My winning score in the Zeesman'World Series' contest was a scientific computation based on an old algebraic equation, modernly known as the biological curve."

Of course, with a system like that, Russ won the first prize-a beautiful Packard-Bell Hi-Fi set with AM and FM radio included. A semi-pro musician himself, the Hi-Fi set is a very welcome addition to the Caldwells, music room. Russ is leader of a group known as the "Old Masters," five men who play for service clubs and other groups around the county. They include accordion, banjo, bull fiddle, guitar and violin, and specialize in oldtime music. This, of course, is a hobby for Russ, who works full time for the Frank Curran Lumber Co. (with time ofi for winning baseball contests, naturally !)

The second-prize winner, Walter W. Kuck, sales manager of Clay Lumber Co. in Inglewood, is having a little difficulty with his prize. It seems he has a L2-year old daughter who likes his clock-radio just as well as he does ! Oh well, maybe it will mean he won't have to get up quite so early to wake the family if they use his prizet.

The third-prize winner, Gwendolyn S. Hunt, was somewhat further afield-she is with North-Robbins Plywood in Seattle. Wonder if they get a chance to use outdoor barbecues in the far north ? We certainly hope so, because it came complete with hood and motorized spit I

Winners of the "ten additional prizes" were E. T. Cryer, Gordon-MacBeath Hardwood, Oakland; J. D. James, Morris Plan Company, San Francisco; L'ester A. Johnson, Jolly Giant Lumber Co., Arcata; N. J.

Then there was the little matter of the "Booby Prizet" And we must say Charlie Garcia of Mox Wrecking Co. in Los Angeles was a real good sport about it. By the accompanying picture you will see that he "got the bird" and seemed to enjoy the whole thing!

There is only one question remaining-who enjoyed this contest more-the winners of the prizes, or Norman Zeesman and Jack Baser of Zeesman Plywood Corp., who had the happy duty of presenting the prizes ? Norman Zeesman says there is only one way to find out-hold another contest next year!
