He succeeds Earl McGowin who held the position for nearly a decade. Kelly was elected to office. the only Westerner

A 35 year veteran of the lumber industry and manager of Trend Lumber Co., Arcata, Ca., Kelly is past President of the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau and has worked in everY phase of the lumber industry from logging to wholesale to sawmill.

The ALSC is the governing bodY and licensing agent for all the lumber grading and rules writing agencies in the United States. Its purpose is to control quality standards for lumber produced in this countrY. Members are appointed by the Secretary of Commerce from independent inspection agencies, architectural associatibns, manufacturers, distributors and consumers of lumber. It was initially organized so the lumber industry could police itself rather than have the government enforce grading rules. Fraudulent grading and grade stamps have become virtually nonexistent since the inception of ALSC, according to Kelly.

Of the 44 members and alternates, 17 are Western lumbermen.

The staff of 14 includes 8 inspectors and a chief inspector who continually check mills and are empowered to shut a mill down by pulling the grading stamps.
