Another interesting d ev elop m en t by Japan to bring about more orderly distribution was the establishment of Hokkaido Plywood Sales Co., Ltd., on August 27, 1965. Representing all of the Hokkaido manufacturers, the Japanese hope to avert much of the traditional ooroller coaster" market by selling their production through a single sales organization.

Like most trade associations in the wood products field, IHPA activities were at an all time high during 1965. One important development was the adoption of IHPA Rules, I-64 at the association's 9th annual convention at Scottsdale, Arizona, February 3-5. The adoption of these standards for imported hardwood plywood was consistent with IHPA's efiorts to simplify and standardize its $I50 million a year share of U.S. world trade.

During 1965, IHPA Executive Secretary Gordon Ingraham announced his retirement after l0 years as the association's original secretary. On October l, 1965, Charlie Schmitt was named to fill Ingraham's post. IHPA officials noted that Schmitt has had years of valuable experience in the domestic lumber and plywood business as well as in the imported hardwood plywood field.

With time out {rom 1940 to 1946 to put in his hitch in the Far East, Schmitt was with U. S. Plywood Corporation for 16 years. Following a short period in the wholesale lumber business, he returned to plywood in 1952, this time in the imported hardwood field where he was successively with Beton; Atkins, Kroll & Co., and Silmarco, Inc,, all in San Francisco.
