Imported Hardwood Ptywood

(Continued lrom Page 60) cost as a plastered or papered wall. So hardwood plywood moved out of the board room and onto the walls of the working mants home.

How about the domestic plywood industry? Softwood plywood imports, averaging approximately one percent of total plywood imports, constitute but one-eighth of one percent of total U. S. consumption in this primarily construction-use-industry. No competition with this giant industry.

Hardwood plywood? There have been two Tarifi Commission investigations to determine the substance of alleged injury due to imports. In both of which this impartial body returned findings of 'no injury.'

In their most recent report, the Tariff Commission, noting that most of the hard. wood plywood imports were of Lauan and from Japan, stated:

"The conclusion is inescapable that Lauan plywood has largely created the markets to which it caters, and that it has not in substantial degree encroached upon markets that have been supplied in appreciable measure by hardwood of other species, whether imported or domestic," and

"It is significant that domestic production increased most in those areas in which most of the imported Lauan plywood was consumed and declined most on the areas in which little Lauan plywood was consumed."

Indeed, ingenious American plywood producers, meeting this challenge, manufacture and now sell several hundred million square feet of plywood panels annually in this market developed by imports. These panels are comprised of Lauan or Philippine Mahogany faced veneer surfaces, laid up on Douglas Fir cores and backs. This is in the best competitive spirit of the American system of supply and demand.

International trade is a two-way street in which imported hardwood plywood plays its 3.815 percent-relatively small but important role-this is the foundation of our nation's security and economic well being.

Hoo-Hoo-Ettes Fete Eorly New Yeors

L. A. Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club #6 held o'New Years in November" at Sportsmen's Lodge, Van Nuys, with a rousing, premature New Year's Eve party to celebrate Company Night.

The beautiful San Fernando Room of the lodge was taken over for the night by balloons, noisemakers, confetti and a rollick. ing three-man combo, who serenaded the partygoers at each table during dinner, then provided some jazzy dance music for after-dinner dancing.

The climax of the night was the drawing for door prizes, in all about twenty, which were generously contributed by the gals' companies.

Topping the list of prizes was the "basket of Cheer," a bushel basket of fine liquors which would indeed bring anyone a Happy New Year.

Prexy Jessie Culbertson and her able sec- onds kept to their high standard with this afiair, which must be counted as one of the best events the gals have hosted this year.

Speaker Frank Heard's flight from San Francisco was delayed because of bad weather and only some quick driving by the El Mirador staff got him in from the airport in time. His knowledgeable discussion of the yard inspection service turned out to be one of the best presented, despite the earlier troubles.

The afternoon program, chaired by

Ralph Baker, Barr Lumber, was a discus' sion by Bruce Donley on a new master trust, pension & profit sharing plan tailored for association members.
