Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club 2

Will Efee 1962-63 Ofiicers

I\{eeting February 2 at Inglewood Country Club, members of Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club 2 wlll find a full sehedule."of eve*ts" planned {sr' them.

The day will begin with a golf tour-

nament, followed by the evening cocktail hour, dinner, concat and election of officers for the coming year.

States current Snark Joe Petrash, "Due to the many long range programs of your Club, and in completelY gnpreiedented fashion, a special meeting of ttre nominating committee was held, and a slate of officers has been selected for the Hoo-Hoo year of 1962-63 . . and a special election will be held at Inglewood Country Club on the night ol February 2."

Nominated for of6ce are: Ben Gardiner, Snark; Ole May, lst vice president Don Gow, 2nd vice president; Wally Lingo, 3rd vice president; and Phil Kelty, secretary-treasurer.

It is the duty and responsibility of all members to support their club, and a large attendance is desired at this February 2 meeting.

King Louis the Fifteenth of France made one of the most quoted remarks in history about coffee, Louis being something of a philosopher. He said: "What would life be without coffee? But then, what is life even with coffee?" ***

There was a great story in World War II about two Marine aviators who had been forced down in the ocean and were floating around in a rubber raft, when an enemy submarine surfa&d close to them. An ofificer ordered them to surrender and come aboard. One of the Nlarines whispered to the other: "Act like we're going to surrender, and then when we get close to the sub, let's ram it."

An eye witness description of the great Stonewall Jackson would probably surprise most historians. Eugene Baldwin was editor of the Peoria (Illinois) Star in Civil War davs, and was a great friend oi Lincoin. This is how he, as -an eye witness, described Stonewall Jackson : "Jackson wore an old ragged suit. The visor on his cap rested on the bridge of his nose. He mounted an old, sira*ny and sorrowful horse." Such was the appearance of a man who has been described by unbiased mifitary history as one of the great military leaders, and one of the greatest fighters of all times.

History says the follor.l'ing Civil War story is true. A certain Col. Fisk of N{issouri, raised a voluntary regiment. and made every man agree that he, the Colonel, should be allowed to do all the swearing for the regiment. In short, swea.ring was forbid,den. One of Fisk'i teamsters got tangled up w_ith a team of balky mules on a muddy roid, and he cussed those mules something terrible. The Colonel said to him : "I)idn't.you agree to let me do all the swearing for the regiment?" The teamster said: "Yes, Colonel, I did, but the fact is the swearing had to be done right then, or not at all. You weren't there to tend to it, so I had to do it myself ."

The prevalence of what is called ',cocktail parties" in this gguntll.tgqay_brings to mind a famous stoiy. A good Ind-ian Chief had pleased the spirits of the red-men io much that one of thenl appeared fo him and told him he coulcl have three wishes, and whatever he wished for he would get. So he pointed to the ocean and said-,,All whiskev." "You get it,".said the spirit. Then the Indian pointed to a great mountain, and said-"All tobacco.', ..you get it,', said the spirit, "and now you have one more wish.,'Th. ir.di"r,

Lest you be given to supposing that this nation has become rn any sense narrow minded, take notice that all over this broad land the night spot broads are singing broad ditties-little tales of bawdrv set to music-while enthusiastic, inebriated, and overcharged audiences shout their approval with lusty voices. We can account for our present public tastes only on the basis that the population of the world we live in is sadly interspersed witli people of sad and bad taste.

The situation in which the world finds itself today reminds us of a passage from Voltaire's wonderful little short story "Candide," which brings the great Frenchman to the topmost heights of sarcasm. He relates a dialogue between Candide and Nfartin. Candide asked Martin : :Do you believe that men have always been liars, cheats, iraitors, ingrates, brigands, idiots, vicious debauchees, fanatics, hypocrites, and fools ?" To this Martin replied, "Do you believe that hawks have always eaten pigebns when they l-rave found them ?" "Without doubt," replied Candide. "We11, then," said Martin, "if hawks have jlways had the same character, why should you imagine that men have changed theirs ?"

And now, some history. The Indian border province of Assam is about the rvildest country left on earth. It is traversed by the great Bramaputra River. It is covered with mountair.rs of terrific height, and jungles the most irnpenetrable on earth. It is the toughest figtrting ground in the whole rvorld. It is a rvild animil's oarJdise.-A-bounding. with elephants, tigers, rhinoceroses, the mighty gaur, which is the wildest and most dangerous animil of ltrem all, and deadly snakes are there in abundance, like the cobra ancl tl.re coral whose bite is quick death. The wild natives are as deadly as the animals and the snakes. The great River swarms with crocodiles, as do all the other riveis of tl.re territory. Some of the world's highest mountains and highest cities are to be found on its-borders. The whole land is like a moving picture artist's wildest dream ; but this is real. It is one of the rvorld's least knor,r,n districts. And one of the .ivettest spaces on earth in the rainy season. One thing can be said in its favor, in addition to its tremendous beauty; its women are reputed to be the loveliest in all India. Remember Kipling's Burma girl a-sittin' by the old Moulmein Paqoda?

Fire-Retardant Wood ls Opening

New Markefs For Lumber Industry

I ll over the country architects and engineers are beginning / r to specify "wood" for critical areas in the construction of schools, hospitals, auditoriums and similar stnrctures where, in the past, the use of non-combustible competitive materials has beerr a necessity-either due to building code restrictions, or the greatly increased cost for fire insurance.

Now, however, the picture is changing fast. \\'ith the advent and growing acceptance of the new fire-retardant plywood and Iumber materials a lucrative new market may well be on hand for progressive lumber dealers.

A pioneer in the field is the Baxco-Pyresote brand of fireprotected lumber and plyn'ood. Already scores of large public builclings, including schools and hospitals, in California have been beautifiecl with decorative paneling made from this nerv type of building materials.

Baxco-Pyresote fire-protected interior decorative 1>aneling is produced by glueing an untreated face veneer of any desired species, ll28 of an inch or less in thickness, to a plywood core pressure treatecl rvith Baxco-Pyresote. These treated plyrn'ood cores comply r,vith most building codes-as to flame spread rating-and to each core is affixed an lJndervriter's Laboratories. Inc. label.

Baxco-Pyresoted Douglas Fir lumber has qualified for fire insurance rate reductions by successfully passing standards

established by insurance groups. To date, fire insurance rating bureaus in 37 states now recogllize roofs constructed of BaxcoPyresote impregnated wood as "incombustible" for rating purposes, where all other requirements are met.

Where competitive insurance rates are now in effect, millions of feet of fire-retardant wood roof decking will be installed in the near future. This is almost a certainty because wood is still the most flexible, rnost economical, most wanted building material.

Baxco-Pyresote is a synthesis of chemicals which impart not only fire resistance to the wood, but also give it lasting protection against rot and termites. The r,vood is impregnated by a pressure process. f'he lumber or plyrvood is placed on flat cars, then moved into an iron retort, or cylinder, and the doors locked. The solution of chemicals is then forced into the wood cells under pressures up to 150 psi for deep penetration ancl permanence of treatment. After removal the plywood and lumber are kiln dried.

Although most Pyresoted core plywood is converted into decorative paneling, tl-rere are many applications for unfaced Baxco fire-retardant olvwood. The armed forces have used much of this material in Aiaska, and in other remote areas where fire is a oarticular hazard. It has been used for bulkheads in Naval craft. It is suitable for shelving and partitions in rvarehouses, commercial and industrial plants to minimize fire hazards.

Sterling Lumber Co. President R.etires

This is a story about a man who selected a career and stuck with it through thick and thin. Not only has this man spent 46 years in the same industry, but he's done it with one firmSterling Lumber Company, headquarters Oakland, California.

Our personality for this piece is Frederick L. Sayre, who announced his retirement as president and general manager of Sterling Lumber Company on January 1 of this year. Fred has been president and general manager of Sterling since 1955, however he has guided the company's line yard operations since 1922. At present, Sterling Lumber operates 16 yards (Redding, Red Bluff, Chico, Oroville, Roseville, Folsom, Placerville, Oakley, Morgan Hill, Santa Rosa, Willows, Hollister, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Mountain View and Petaluma) with headquarters in Oakland.

But let's start at the beginning. A native of Denver, Colorado, Fred moved to the Bay Area with his family at the turn of the century when his father, Frederick F. Sayre, sold his interest in Sayre & Newton Lumber Co. in Denver. The senior Sayre started California Sugar & White Pine Agency in San Francisco during 1900, operating this wholesale business untll 1924. He later teamed up with Bill

Thurman to start California Cedar Products in Stockton, so it's easy to see where "junior" got his interest in lumber.

The Savre familv well established in the Bav Area. Fred attended the University- of California at Berkeley. (A couple of his classmates, he recalls,

of Dubuque, Iowa. Fred started at the Company's first yard in Oroville as a combination driver (horses, that is) and clerk. A few years later he became manager of that yard, and later, as additional yards were added to the chain, Fred was in charge of modernizing each new yard and bringing it into line with company policy. He recalls today that part of the modernization program in those days involved selling off the horses, closing the stables, and buying Model "T" delivery trucks.

made it "pretty good" in the lumber business in later years. They were Wendell Robie, head of Auburn Lumber Company, and Fred V. Holmes, retired president of Holmes Eureka Lumber Co.).

During 1916, Fred started with a newly formed company which was to later'become Steriing. Lumber. This comDanY was the Adams Lumber Company, formed by Burton Adams

After managing yards at Oroville, Roseville, Morgan Hill, San Martin, and finallv. Los Gatos. Fred moved into the 'firm's San Francisco head office in the First National Building (now the Crocker Anglo Building) during 1921. The next year, Adams sold the business to the current principals of Sterling Lumber. Frank Duttle moved west to take charge as president and Fred was made secretarytreasurer and manager of yard operations. The company was renamed Sterling Lumber Company.

During his forty-six years in the retail lumber business. Fred has made hundreds of friends in the industry. He recalls meeting Ira Brink when he was managing the old Diamond N{atch yard at Woodland. Mr. Brink later went on to become head of Di(Continued, on Page 20)

NPDA Examines Industry Problems

The problems facing the nation's plywoocl distributors \\'ere met head-on at a regional rneeting of the National Plywoocl Distributors Association held at the Sl-reraton-Palace in San Francisco on liriday, December 8. NPDA presiclent, Jack Walker of Birmingham, Alabama, told the group of 65 plywood jobbers that, in his opinion, conclitions enjoyecl by plywood jobbers througl'rout tl-re nation following WWII are little more thatl a pleasant memory norv. "I believe tl.rat we can look for\\rard to selling plywood at only a moderately yearly gross," he told the grorlp, "ancl it is my belief that we are going to have unrlsecl capacity for many years to come. Let's stop right no\\r and try to learn horv to best live rvith this unusecl capacity," prexy Walker rlrged.

Notirrg that NPDA figures covering tl-re clistribution of plywood through legitimate jobber outlets showed a slight increase (over last year) to 72/o of total plywood produced, president \\'alker cxoressed concerlr over an iucreasing amount of plyu'ood being moved on a direct mill basis by tl-re nation's lumber u'holesalers. In the past five years, \\ralker noted, lumber wholesalers have increased their direct n.rill sales of plyrvood from less tharl 5'/o to a current 14% of all domestic plyn'oocl produced.

\\'alker told the group that he felt clistributors should move to meet this competition on the same ground. Although plywood jobbers are at a disadvantage because of higher operating overhead, Walker pointed out that they have an offsetting advantage of being able to take direct car business and combine those shipments with stoPover stock for their o$'n warehouses.

The NPDA president made his canrlicl observations of the problems facirrg today's (and tomorrow's) plywood jobbers in the windup slot of the morning session. The extremely well presented program was organized by NPDA managing director Mahlon X,Iunson, who with Walker brought the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m.

l-irst speaker on the program was

Moore, Evons Products, Podlond; Frank Vcrnon, Plywcll' Corono; Bob Pcrry, Evons Products, Oqklond cnd John Thompson, Evons Products. S, F.

SALES AGENTS

Newman W. Page, manag'er, western states department of the American Credit Indemnity Co. of Baltimore. Newman's subject-"Credit Insurance, a Management Tool in Modern Business Finance"-was graphically presented from actual case histories from the company's files.

"The plywood business and Commercial Credit lnsurance have been closelv allied for years and years. We've paid for -ttty carloads o? plywood that r,ve've never seen," Page noted. Page further pointed out many ways credit insurance could increase a policyholder's volume and profits by preventing working capital from becoming "loafing capital." "The faster the cash florv-the more opportunities to clip off your profit," he noted.

Second speaker on the morning's program was Phil A. Reilly, district sales manager of Burroughs Corporation, San l-rancisco. Reilly's subject -'sManagement Information Through Basic Record Control"-dealt with a relatively inexpensive method of getting both basic record information (data capture) and management information (data analysis) f rom the Burroughs Company's new plan. Briefly, the plan involves a new machine developed by the company which performs the normal accounting procedures and at the same time punches this information into a taDe within the machine. For data analysis, the tape is

merely sent to the nearest Burroughs Processing Center where it is further processed for the management information desired.

The last talk before president Walker's morning windup was given by Arthur H. Jones, marketing director for the Douglas Fir Plywood Association. Discussing DFPA's promotional plans for 1962, Walker told the group that the Association estimated 1962 fir plywood production would reach 9.1 billion sq. ft. "But growth without profit is pointless," he noted.

Walker noted that in order to reach a certain degree of market stability the industry must develop information on consumer demand and warehouse inventories so it can better gear production to demand. Urging jobbers to sell quality rather than price, \Aralker discussed development of new markets for low gracle veneers-instead of hiding them in panels between a good face and back. lillalker noted an increasing, daugerous trer.rd in the sale of low grade sheathing 'ivhich, if it continnes, could cause market losses to otl.rer materials.

Taking a look at the DFPA's ner'v $2,000,000 TV promotion (D a v i d 13rinkley Journal), Walker told the group that the Association was pleased with preliminary results. The program has an estin-rated weekly audience of from 15 to 16 million adult viewers and potential plyu'ood users. As a tie-in

to the program, DFPA has sent out 15,000 TV promotional kits to dealers throughout the nation. Soliciting NPDA help, Jones urged the jobbers to have their salesmen check during their calls to make sure the exhibits are being displayed. If not, salesmen could offer to put them up for the dealer. or order a kit if he has not received one.

Noting that DFPA member mills rvill spend $61 mlllion on the promotion of fir plywood during 1962, lones asked the jobbers present to support member mills and "help us better stabilize the industry."

The future for Douglas fir plyrvood? Still excellent, DFPA thinks. With 196I production pegged at approximately 8.4 billion sq. ft., Jones told the group that DFPA believes there is a good chance of expanding the market for fir plyu,'ood some 50/o over the next five years !

The morning session complete, NPDA members and guests enjoyed refreshments and luncheon in the acljoining terrace dining area.

An afternoon business meeting for distributors only was presided over by John Walker, and during this session the value of unified association support was evident. A closed meeting affair, discussion was strictly "off the record" and dealt with several of the more perplexing problems facing today's jobbing organizations.

Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club 2 To Sponsor Employment Burequ For the Lumber Industry

The steering committee of Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club 2 endorsed the establishment of an Employment Bureau for the lumber industry, last month, during i meeting held at Rodger-Young to survey the field at all levels foi experienced workers seeking employment and for the trainee desiring aid in locating with either a mill, wholesale yard operator or retail dealer.

Joe Petrash, Snark of the Los Angeles fraternal organiza- tion, will chairman the committee. which will include exsnark Harold Cole, Paul Hollenbeck, vice president of the Lumber Association of Southern California: and Ole May of The California Lumber Merchant.

A complete survey of the industry will be made by the committee in order to ascertain the needs of the employer in relation to the man power available for employmi"t. a trainee program has been developed at the mill level for high school graduates and young men who have selected lumber as their career, and the club expects to establish a central control in the Los Angeles area to aid experienced unemployed help locate in the industry.

"We hope to have this bureau functioning during the early spring months," said prexy Petrash.

Lumbermen Expect Bigger Stake In '62 Home Building Market

As the 7962 home building market now shapes up, the lumber industry looks forwaft to 1962 with optimism. The National Lumber Manufacturers Association estimates that shipments of lumber should equal or exceed the 1960 level. of 33.6 billion board feet, which would mean an increase of about 5 per cent over the anticipated volume for this year.

This estimate is predicated on a moderate increase in new home starts next year, which is generally considered likely. Lumber consumption is tied closely to home building activity, since this market takes more than one in every three board feet produced.

There has been a gradual increase in the vacancy rate of rental housing units; accordingly, it is expected that single-family home starts will increase more, percentagewise, than home building volume as a whole. Single- family residences use considerably

Society of Americqn Foresters Elects New Officers qnd Fellows

Paul M. Dunn of New York City was elected December 2 as president of the Society of American Foresters for the two-year term 1962-1963. He succeeds Charles A. Connaughton of San Francisco who was not a candidate for reelection.

Mr. Dunn, who since 1955 has been director of forestry for St. Regis Paper Company, is a forestry graduate of fowa State University. During his forestry career spanning three decades, he has previously served as associate state forester of Missouri ; dean of Utah State lJniversity's College of Forest, Range and Wildlife Management; and dean of Oregon State University's School of Forestry and director of the Oregon Forest Products Laboratory.

B. E. Allen of Savannah, Georgia, was elected vice president of the Society. He is manager of the Woodlands Division of Union Bag-Camp Paper Corporation. A forestry graduate of the University of Michigan, Mr. Allen was with the South Carolina State Commission of Forestry for four years. He has been on the forestry staff of Union Bag-Camp Paper Corporation since 1943, and manager of its Woodlands Division since 1958.

Council Members

Organized in 1900 in Washington,

more wood per unit than apartment buildings.

The lumber industry has been engaged in an extensive sales promotion program during the past two years, an effort that is now beginning to bear fruit and which should help push the sales curve upward.

Thanks partly to the promotion campaign, known as the National Wood Promotion Program, more and more home builders are buying prefabricated components made of wood or prefabricating their own.

In Indianapolis, for example, builder Robert V. Welch has been able to cut his unit costs 30 to 40 per cent by having a local lumber yard assemble floor framing in sections and then ship it to the site. This floor system utilizes a conventional design and meets all FHA requirements.

Just outside Washington, builder dward R. Carr has found that the use

D. C. the Society of American Foresters has a membership of 14,000 professional foresters practicing in the United States and Canada. Its governing body is the Council composed of the president, vice president, and nine additional members. The following foresters were elected to the Council for the two-year term 1962-1963l.

William C. Bramble, head, Department of Forestry and Conservation, Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind.

Donald E. Clark, retired regional forester, Rocky Mountain Region, U. S. Forest Service. Denver. Colo.

William D. Hagenstein, executive vice president, Industrial Forestry Association, Portland, Cre.

George M. Jemison, deputy assistant chief for forestry research, U. S. Forest Service, Washington, D. C.

Archie E. Patterson, professor of forest management, School of Forestry, University of Georgia, Athens, Ga.

Richard J. Preston, Jr., dean, School of Forestry, North Carolina State College, Raleigh, N. C.

Stephen H. Spurr, professor of silviculture, School of Natural Resources, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich.

John A. Zivnuski, professor of forestry, University of California, Berkeley, Calif.

In addition to the foregoing officers, the following members were elected to the grade of Fellow. Election to

of ring-type connectors and roof truss members precut at a local lumber yard enables him to put up a truss-type for the same price aq conventional joistand-rafter framing. Carr has developed a simple jig, mounted on an old farm wagon, which helps a two-man crew to assemble a truss at the site in a total of ten minutes.

Home remodelers and builders of prefabricated homes are both taking an increasing share of the lumber industry's output. Sales prospects for these two groups in 1962 are extremely bright. Meanwhile, home buyers are exhibiting increased awareness of the beauty, rvarmth, flexibility, and distinctiveness of wood when used for interior walls. floors, and cabinetry.

According to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, there are signs of a steady and significant increase in the use of wood in those parts of the house where it has always provided superior performance.

the grade of Fellow is in recognition of outstanding service to forestry and to the Society.

A new cast of "characters," spearheaded by Cal-Pacific's Frank Billings, producecl one of the most successful Christmas l)arties ever staged by San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club 9. The annnal party for 40 deserving kiddies {rom the San Francisco Boy's Club rvas held in the Colonial Room of the St. Iirancis Hotel in San Francisco, more than 140 lumbermen, wives and secretaries attending the luncheon

eve11t.

Tlie big party officially got underr.vay in the adjoining Italian ltoonr of the St. Francis at 11:39 a.m. After a short reception, the big "kids" joined the junior citizens from the Boy's Club for the traditional holiclay f east. Christmas Carols (thanks to the piano talents of Sti Stibich) were enjoyed by all and a terrific kiddies shou' headlined by Craigs Chimps ancl Billy "Balloons" Grant held the kids spellbound.

'Course the main act of the day was the arrival of ol' Saint Nick. Through

the cooperation of S. F. Boy's Club and the g'enerous response from the party's sponsors, each youngster received exactly the gift he had written about to "Santa Claus." Clothing was a big item on many of their lists. A coat for a little girl of five instead of a dolly ; a jacket for another little tyke of 6 instead of a set of six-shooters. Kind of makes one think, doesn't it?

Iiveryone connected with the party -the committeemen, those who attended, the donors-should feel proud tl-rat they were in a position to add a little happiness to the lives of these

Arlie Chorter Retires

After nearly 42 years associa"tion with Wholesale Building Supply and its successor, Arlie M. Charter announced his retirement, effective the first of this year.

quaintance with practically every retail lumber dealer in Northern California, young and old timers alike. A native of Ogden, Utah, he was schooled in Portland and served with the Army during the first war. Arlie took what was to become his first and only job on July 1, 1920, when he joined the old Adams Lumber Company at its Roseville yard. This firm was succeeded by Sterling Lumber Company two years later and Arlie remained under the nelv management. On September 1. 1925, he transferrecl to the firm's head office in San Francisco, continuing in various management positions until 1937, when the comDanv formed a wholesale division of whic-h he u,as named manager.

What now after 42 years in the harness ? Well, an ardent fisherman already, Arlie is looking forward to a little more time in pursuit of "that big one" up in the Sierras. Arlie and his wife Lela also plan to spend more time up Tahoe way where they have a beautiful summer home.

But don't be surprised if you look up from the counter and see Arlie walking in through your front entrance. After a lifetime in the building materials game, it's kind of hard to shake the habit, so Arlie's planning to stop by and say "howdy" now and then and catch up on the latest scuttle.

I-ater that evening, when tl.re sun had fallen into the eighteenth hole, FIoo-Hoo No. 2 president Joe Petrash announced that the Hoo-Hoo Steering Committee had unanimously voted to award the "Outstanding Lumberman of the Year" plaque to Jim Forgie. Jim walked to the speaker's table and accepted the plaque, but was so overcome by surprise and excitement that he could only say, "Thank You."

Following Jim Forgie's short speech Joe Petrash announced that the audience's long-awaited hour had arrived; it was time for the second in a series of educational prog'rams, the "Sid Zade Follies." Larry Weiland, Hoo-Hoo's

E,ntertainment Committee co-chairman, manned the lights, while Sid Zade provided the commentary for the assortment of fast-moving acts.

The show's headliners, N{iss "Stormy Night" and Miss "Nocturne," provided a vast panorama of novel sougs and dances.

At the conclusion of the thrilling entertainmerrt, Joe Petrash announced that 1961 was over but that there were bigger and better things ahead in '62.

Weyerhoeuser Ships Lumber That Promotes As lt Rolls

Weyerhaeuser Company now is shipping kiln-dried fram- ing lumber irr wrapped packages thit both protect and promote.

F9r !.he company l-ras its name, symbol and ,,protected clualjty" emblazoned in lO-inch-high letters on tlie special reinforced paper that wraps unitized shipments on flat- cars. Thus, the covered lumber looks much like a traveling billboard as it rolls across the nation.

The first flat car shipment in the new wrapping went to Columbus (Ohio) Lumber Co. It consisted bt +b,OOO ieet of kiln-dried hemlock framing in 22 packages. Each of the strapped units, which are in NRLDA standard sizes. were about -26" high by 45,, wide. Lengths were up to 20,.

Packages in the new paper were first seen ai the NRLDA Chicago expo.sition recently, but these were provided only for the materials handling demonstration. Supplied through Rubenstein Lumber Co. of Chicago, they traviled with oth"er material in a boxcar.

_ The Aberdeen, Wash., mill is tl-re only one of the Weyer[a^9us.er plants so far ecluipped to ship wrapped lumber. Offerings from its other mills includ^e banded but not wrapped unlts.

Brand identification on the durable reinforced wrapping paper su-pplements the proof-positive marking on the- Lum-ber itself introducecl by Weyerhaeuser at all i1s mills about s.ix months ago. The words "Weyerhaeuser 4-Square kilndried" are lrow repeated along one edge of all of'the firm,s tactory-seasoned framing lumber as a sure sign of value to dealers, builders and home buvers.

Scientists have observed seven-foot redwood springing from trunks in burned over-acres at the one season.

Recently elected a director of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association, Los Angeles, was Homer H. Burnaby, president, Sun Lumber Company.

Veteran lumberman Al Setterlund of A1hambra retired December 29 after 44 years in the retail lumber business.

Setterlund began his long career in 1918 as yardman at the Valley Lumber Company, Kingsburg. Successive employment included The Patten-Davies Lumber Company (now Patten-Blinn) and the Palm Avenue Lumber Company where he worked until his retirement.

He and his wife now plan to do some traveling and then settle down in Independence, California where the trout fishing is good.

Terry Mullin, president of the Lumber Association of Southern California, and his beautiful wife, Diane, were recent Saturday evening dinner guests at the home of Miss Joann McGargr of West Los Angeles. Other guests included John and Patricia Schallert (tvfcA) and Frank K. Lane III, prominent Los Angeles attorney.

Frank Paramino, head of the venerable Paramino Lumber Company organization, recently announced the addition of John Lawrentz to his sales force.

Mr. and tr{rs. Don Coveney, and daughters Robin and Cindy spent their holiday season doing the cha-cha-cha instead of the twist. The family hit the bright spots and lights of Mexico and celebrated New Year's in La Paz.

Olen Carter, general manager of the Santa Fe yards (Brentwood, Tracy, Patterson and Newman) vacationed during the holidays in Arcadia, visiting his son-in-law. While there, he also took a ride through the burned-out Bel Air fire area.

Russ Kinsey, general manager of Kintorr Lumber Co., Cloverdale, spent the holiday season up in the Seattle area visiting friends and doing a. little b'ar huntin'. Seems the b'ars went to bed early this year, though, 'cause there was nary a b'ar in sight. Go in after them? "No sir they get mean when they sleep," sez Russ.

NtttlA Slresses Wood In Gonlemporqry Design

REMEMBER

SO-PLY HARDWOODS

.

T!. natural beauty, economy and versatilitv of wood in both interior and exterior design are stressed bv the National Lumber Manufacturer Association in two double page ads appearing in prominent architectural publications, December, '6i ^ and Jan- nuary,'62.

The oriental-styled Motel on the Mountain in Suffren, N. )I.. by Architect, Junzo Yoshimura is cited by the NLMA as one example of the many advantages to be realized with wood construction. Entitled, "For Structures that mean business. anvwhere-find the better way with \MOOD," the ad emphasizis the commercial aspects of planning with wood.

"fn every design, wood's friendly exteriors and lvarm interiors promote immediate acceptance. Its wonderful workability . lets you achieve greater economy . . . but never at the expense of quality."

The kitchen pictured as not only a thing of utility, but of beauty as well, is the key note of the other presentation. Wood

co_untertops, flooring and paneling all produce an effect which is difficult to resist, say the NLMA. Three pictures serve to bring the point home.

The ads appear in 'fhe American Builder, House of }Iome, Practic-al_Builder, NAHB Journal of Homebuilding, Architectural Forum, Architectural Record and Progressive Arcl-ritecture.

U.S. Plywood's Flexwood Pqsges Fire Hozord Test

Another_ step in the march toward fireproofing wood products has been achieved bv United Slates p:lvwoocl Corporation. Flexwood, the company's flexible decorative wall covering made of wood ven-eer-sliced l/gln, thin and permanently laminated to a woven backing, is now factory inspected and labeled by Underwriters Liboratories, Inc.. with a flame spread rating of 15.

Observqnt Lumber-wife

Our thanks to Mrs. Paul Penberthy, wife of one of Los Angeles' outstanding lumbermen, for sending in several wood products news items which are not only interesting but definitely do a selling job for lumber.

The first, "Aching Feet on

Slab Floors," is a report by Arthur W. Priauix, Portland lumber economist, who states, "The list of women limping into doctors' offices today complaining of leg and back troubles, is a public disgrace. It stems from the fad of building houses on concrete slabs."

Any foot doctor will tell you, Priauix commented, that wood makes the best possible floor, because it has certain give and resilience which is easy on the feet. You don't have foot trouble, he said, when women have wood joist floors in their homes . a good framework of Douglas fir joists makes the ideal base

for any floor and it makes lots more sense than a concrete slab.

The second item, "Wood structures last centuries," tells that the oldest wood building in the world is believed to be the Horyuju Temple at Kyoto, Japan, which was build 1,350 years ago. A church in Norway is more than 1,000 years old. The item also relates that wood models and figurines found by archeologists in the tombs oI ancient EgyPt are estimated to be 6,000 years

Excavations in Turkey, it continued, have uncovered massive wood beams that had remained sound for 2,700 years.

The highly advertised lady lion tamer was doing her part of the program, and rvas living right up to the advertisements with her deeds of daring in handling the great beasts. The crowd watched her daring performances breathlessly.

Finally she beckoned to the fiercest lion in the circus, and he took a lun.rp of sugar from her mouth as meek as any lamb. The lady looked around for applause.

"Shncks, anybody could do that," sl-routed a man from the ringside.

"Do yon meall to say you would?" stormed the lady tamer.

lle arrsrvered, "Sure, just as good as any blinking lion."

Vqncouver Plywood In Exponsion

The merger into Vancouver Plywood Co. of Hub City Plywood Corp., Albany, Oregon is announced by Frost Snyder and W. W Kilworth, directors of Vanply. Three Sisters Plywood, Inc. also of Albany, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hub City Plywood Corp., now becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Vanply.

Elton Disher, general manager and one of the principal stockholders of Hub City Plywood Corp., which is engaged in the production of Douglas Fir shiathing, becomes vice president in charge of manufacturing for Vancouver Plywood Co.

At the same time, Snyder announced his company's acquisition of the outstanding stock of the Rouge Riu.r ety- wood Co. in Grants Pass, a partially completed mill that lvas never put in operation by the previous owners. Vancouver Plywood Co. plans to proceed with construction and have the plant in operation by mid-summer of 1962, according to Snyder.

Before these transactions, Vancouver Plywood operated principally as national sales representative for a number of Pacific Northwest producers of plywood, hardboard and specialty items. In 1960 the company joined with Evans Products Co. in the construction and operation of VanEvan Co., a producing mill in Missoula, Montana. Now the Albanl' merger and the Rogue River purchase move the expanding company further into the areas of mill ownership and plywood production. The new acquisition will make Vanply one of the largest producers of fir sheathing in the industry. Approxim,ately 35,000,000 feet of sheathing per month will be manufactured by the expanded operation.

- Snyder emphasized that the .o-p"try would coritinue as sales representatives, operating under agreements with six mills in Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. Y?nply was organized in 1935 by Frost Snyder and W. W. Kilworth who remain active directors oi the comDanv. Vanply's headquarters are in \rancouver, Wash. and^sales offices are maintained in Omaha, Neb.. Evanston. Ill.. Charlotte, N. C.. and Richmond, Va.

In a realignment of personnel, Snyder announced the appointment of four vice presidents in addition to Disher. They are David Difford, sales; l,en Moyer, research and clevelopment; Ralph Stryker, timber; and Paul L. Cole, finance. Donald I. Plummer is executive vice president.

TECO Announces Avoilclbility of Design Booklet on Plqte Type Roof Trusses

Timber Engineering Company has announced the availability of a comprehensive 16-page design booklet on its new plate type roof truss series. The new booklet contains complete design details for spans ranging lrom 16, to 32, and slopes lrom 2l:12 to 7 :12.

Of a pre-punched nail hole variety, the TECO plate system utilizes 8! l%" nails. No heavy presses are required to install th-e_plates nor is automated nailing machinery needed. TECO advises that in most instancei an invesiment of not more than 9300 would enable a firm to enter production on an efficient basis. For the small volume operation a simple jig comprised of guide blocks will serve as- a. very workable and economical assembly setup. For fabricators interested in increased volume. an adiustable jig is available to accommodate a combination of slopes and spans._Information on both jig setups is provided in the new TECO booklet.

- Derigle_d to meet FHA criteria relating to roof trusses, !E _IECO plate system is covered bt FHA Bulletin SE-297. A copy of this bulletin is contained in the TECO booklet.

Free copies of TECO's new truss plate booklet are available on re!l!9it: ^Address inquiries tb Timber Engineering Company, 1319 18th Street, Northwest, Washingto-n 6, D.C:

Emsco Plywood Celebrates Opening of New Facilifies

The Christmas season just past rvas a time of a little extra rejoicing on the part of the staff of Emsco Plywood in Oakland. Hampered by the lack of operating room for the past several years, Emsco Plywood celebrated the completion of its new 30,000 sq. ft. warehouse at 930 19th Avenue in Oakland. with a combination Christmas Party-Grand Opening on the afternoon and evening of December 16.

More than 100 customers, suppliers and guests attended the party to partake of champagne, no less, and to look over E,msco's vastly improved operation. Speedier loading of customer's trucks is important to any dealer, and Emsco is now in a position to do just this through placement of

several truck bays fronting on 19th Avenue.

Another important improvement is the relocation of the company's ready hung door division under the same roof. Formerly located in another section of town, E,msco's ready hung door shop is one of the very few in northern California catering exclusively to the lumber merchant trade.

E,msco's new warehouse is over t'ivice the size of its old operation located just down the street at 922 lgth Avenne, manager Bob Patrick notes. Additional space naturally leads to additional lines ancl a more diversified inventory. Emsco now stocks complete lines of imported and domestic plywoods, a high quality pre-

finished paneling inventory, mouldings, jambs, doors, preservative finishes and trim sets, in addition to operating a "dealers only" ready hung door shop.

THE

WHO

Mixed Up

The justice of the peace in a country town has to hear and judge cases of law, and also_ to sometimes perform marriage cerernonies occasionally. Sometimes he gets things mixed up. Like one day he said to the bride: "Do you take this man to be your husband?" She nodded. Then he turned to the bridegroom and asked : "And you, what do you have to say in your own defense?"

No Sqle

The drop-in salesman rvas trying to sell a business man a fountain pen. "Tell me one good reason why I should use a fountain pen, and you've made a sale," said the prospect.

"Well," said the salesman, "you do all your writing with a pen, and all day long you are dipping that pen into the ink. Have you considered how much time you could save every day if you used a fountain pen and didn't have to do that constant dipping?"

"Young man," said the business-man, "have you stopped to consider that the only rest I get all day 1or-rg is when I'm dipping that pen in the ink bottle? What do you want me to do, work myself to death?"

A Drunkqrd's Thoughts

No one can explain the thoughts of a drunkard. A party of young folks occupied a table in a night spot one night. At the next table a young man, very drunk attd sound asleep, s.at leaning forrvard with l-ris head in his hands. After a time, a man at the table rvith the group, felt the drunk at the table nudging him for attention. They were strang'ers.

"Shay," said the drunk, "do you know Greta Garbo?"

"No," said the other.

A look of great satisfaction lighted the face of the drunk.

"lfa, I thought not," he said and dropped back to sleep again.

Pride

Herder wrote: "Of all kinds of pride I hold national pride the most foolish; it ruined Greece ; it ruined Judea and Rome."

"Give an example

Show Boqts

There is a silence on the river now, The mighty Mississippi that has knowu Deep-throated calliopes, the gilded bo'iv Of shining boats that called the river their own. Once there was dancing on the cobbled stones That led down from the levee to the water, And darkies' eyes as white as dead men's bottes, The biggest planter with his fairest daughter, A11 corne to see the show-boat's Queen of Queens, To hear the latest songs that she lvould sirrg: \{iranda James, the girl from New Orleaus, A dancing girl that rnade the old men fling Their wide-brimmed hats into the air and lviuk, And take another chew, another drink. Now they are gone-the boats that plied its stream, The gilded barges that brought anotl,er world Haunting the minds of toilers like a clream: Gone is their day.'I'heir silken flags are furled. How silent now the river is with only The shining cups of bay trees at its edge, And honeysuckle covering the lonely Deserted river fronts, and l-righer up, a ledge C)f lilacs that retnembers things forgottenA world unfolded in a calliope's rhyme. I weep for it, the fading show-boat's spark, A glowworm crawling down the river's dark.

New Weyerhaeuser Cottage Designs Stimulate Dealer Package Selling

D EAUTY function and economy describe the 12 L, new interesting combinations and variations of Weyerhaeuser Economy Cottages available. These new design ideas elevate the basic shell cabin to luxury status through use of decorative additions and adaptations.

Designed to stimulate sales of "second" ltomes, the newly ieleased Economy Cottage promotion materials provide retail lumber dealers with the basic tools from which they can make the package sale of a complete and finished house around a basic floor plan.

Now, dealers can offer a wide range of cabins and summer homes from simple protective shell cabins to smart, sizeable and stylish structures including the all-new Arrowhead A-frame design. Ilere is a new system of construction developed by Weyerhaeuser designers to fit into the dealer's standard op-eration. These basic shell cottages are designed for two widtl-rs, 12 and 20 feet, with ar-ry length in multiples of four feet.

Economy cottage shells of 500 square feet have been erected and sold at retail for less than $1,500 at full dealer mark-up. Offering complete shells at this low price enables the dealer to continue the sale of a shell cottage into the sale of a completed vacation house.

The dealer has the opportunity to sell these shells in any or all of four different packages whichever best fits

his individual operation: 1) Complete shell cottages, erected at the site and finished inside and out to any stage requested. 2) Yard-built panels ready for erectioll' to provide tire simplest possible aJsembly by the purchaser at the site. 3) Pre-iut materials for easy fabrication and as-semfly-fy customers. 4) Materials only for fabrication and assembly by do-it-yourself trade and builders.

- Panels- consist of 4' x 4' and 4' x 8' plywood sheets appliecl to light frarning members. Only four easily-built jigs are needed for thJ 10 different- types- of panels that io-r- a cottage, and 60 per cent of,the 2 x 4's used in fabricating th-e panels are less than four feet long.
