We were pleased, in the December I issue of The Calilornia Lumber Merchant, to prepare a bright and cheerful Christmas Greeting for the A. L. Hoover Co. of San Marino.

In reconstructing the ad from a tear sheet of a previous issue, we picked up the address and telephone number from that ad' Only trouble is-the A. L. Hoover Co. moved during 1961 and acquired a new telephone number!

May we advise, with a face about as red as Santa Claus' suit, that despite our efforts to return the Hoover firm to its old loca' tion, they are doing business at 2540 Huntington Drive, San Marino 9. California.

Oqklqnd Solutes "The Week"

Famous as a lumber port in pioneer days and more recently for the immense quantities of the products it uses in its recordbreaking corumercial and home construction, Oakland joined with the nation and Canada in its observance of Octoberis National Forest Products Week.

Vice Mayor Felix Chialvo acting for Mayor John C. Houlihan proclaimed the week in a beribboned message to the citizenry which cites lumber as America's oldest industry, dating back lo 1608 and_the shipment of clapboards from Jamestown, Virginia Colony. He further noted that the industry has gone unhera'lded through most of the intervening years and that Oakland and the nation owe it a great debt "for applying the material to build our homes, schools, churches, farms, towns and cities throueh three centuries of our history."

In the foreats of coastal British Columbia, the giant Red Cedar often survives centuries of time, wind and weather. Little wonder, then, that lumber cut from this naturally timeless wood will beautify and protect homes in the most severe climates for decades more.

ITS BEAUTY IS AGED.IN.THE.WOOD:

Cooperating in planning talks before service clubs and other events to point up the importance of forest products to the economy and daily living, were the Construction Industries Committee of the Oakland Chamher of Commerce, individual plants, labor unions, and the East Bay Lumber JACs (Joint Action Committee) of which L. A. .Iacobsen, chairman of the Oakland Chamber group, and Victor S. Roth were co-chairmen.

The promotion during the week spotlighted the various products embraced by the industry, including lumber, veneer, plywoo,l, hardboard, particle board, poles, split materials, wood puip and other items, and stress that these native products are woriable, functional, utilitarian, durable, economicai and decorative.

One of the special events of the week was a chartered bus tour by local members of the forest products industry to Ukiah to tour related plants in the area.
