ANNOUNCING SUPER-FELT

. . the new lohns-Manville Rock Wool Batt

'ZA revolutionary new process, developed by Johns-Manville, produces a rock wool of long fibres. Scientifically felted, these long fibres result in a much stronger and. lighter-weight batt, with greater uniformity and rigidity throughout. Longfibre Saper-Felt sets a new high standard in home insulation.

Stper-Felt is so firmly felted it will not break down, even with rough handling. Improved handle-ability reduces cost of installation. Batts fit snugly between frarning members with less time and labor.

The same size package now contains lO batts instead of 8! This means 256 fewer packages to handle 25ft more material per truckload. Get the full story of this new development.

Western Pine Association Annual Meeting

San Francisco, Feb. h-"Dangerous" g'overnment home loan policies and political pressure

'ivere charged this morning by S. V. Fullaway, Ir., secretary-manager of the Western Pine Association, with a major share of blame in skyrocketing building costs,

sword to do battle for the The result, he said, has {or new homes.

Speaking before the association's annual one-day members' meeting at the Palace hotel, Mr. Fullaway said that with the end of the war politicians of both parties "some sincere and some not so sincere, have taken up the veteran and the underprivileged." been an unorecedented demand

"I do not mean to infer." he said. "that a real need for the prompt construction of a large number of housing units does not exist. It does exist, but the need is not so urgent that every citizen who feels the desire for a nerv home should have that home norv.

"However, hope for such a miracle has been inspired by our government in Washington and this, with the dangerous easy home loan policy of that government', has created a demand for building materials which the tremendous available capacity of industry could not have met even though there had occurred no governmental tinkering with the economic machine."

The demand, he said, has been answered by a recordshattering estimated 6-sl billion board feet production for 1947 in the mills of the Western Pine region. But, the Portland lumberman pointed out, the cost of such'a phenomenal production has been higher prices.

"Substantial increases in lumber production are accourplished only when the number of productive units is increased. Such increase in productive units, and hence output, is dependent upon rising prices." Higher price levels, he said, attract new, high-cost and marginal mills into

production when otherrvise they could not operate successfully.

Mr. Fullaway said that housing publicity has greatly exaggerated the effect of present lumber prices upon housing costs. "It is generally accepted," he pointed out, "that the average. home requires less than 10,000 board feet of lumber. Any change in the cost of lumber will account for only a very small part of the difference between present and prewar housing costs."

He foresaw no relief from high costs of housing "unless the present federal administration is willing to substantially curtail the demand by contracting creditwhich it is not in an election year." He also cited present wage levels, current labor efficiency, increased transportation charges and inflated stumpage prices as factors contributing to present lumber costs.

Mr. Fullalvay's address followed a review by Homer B. Jamison, head of the Byles-Jamison Lumber Company at Fresno, Calif., and president of the Pine association, of the group's activities during the past year. He reported the Western Pine industry's production exceeded that of 1946 by a half-billion feet and that the association showed a net gain of 51 members for 1947, bringing the total to 216 companies and 229 mills.

Timber supply in the lZ-state Western Pine region was reported by Mr. Jamison at 500 billion board feet of softlvood sawtimber. Current annual growth in the area is in excess of four billion feet. Average annual cut is 4.8 billion.

"This rate of growth," he reported, "will be accelerated as stagnant primeval forests are harvested and replaced by thrifty grorving forests and more intensive forest practices are applied. This annual growth might well reach eight billion board feet within 100 years."

The past year added 20 new Western Pine Tree Farms, comprising 125,000 acres, Mr. Jamison said. There are now 2,548,000 acres under cultivation in the region.

Reporting on factors working to balance the lumber supply and demand, W. E. Griffee, assistant to Mr. Fullaway, listed increased production of lumber, inroads of competing materials and a reduction in the effective demand.

"Newer and smaller mills," he said, "are really responsible for the huge increase in our production. It can't be said that the industry isn't doing its best to get out the heavy production that will supply its customers and bring prices back into line."

Citing the production of competing building materials, Mr. Griffee warned Association members that "their highly mechanized production will be tough competition to meet when the market turns." He noted that while lumber production nationally is up one-third over 1939, plywood is up two-thirds and gypsum board shipments have quintupled.

Mr. Griffee saw little likelihood of a serious recession in home building developing this year. "IJndoubtedly" he remarked, "the high cost of construction is priciirg many potential buyers out of the market. However, it cannot be said, at least so far as lumber is concerned, that high prices have reduced consumption."

He pointed out that this is an election year and the government "seems certain to provide plenty of mortgage money for those rvho can't get enough from private lenders. The administration is already willing to offer $40 per vote and Republicans want to make good fellows of themselves, too. Neither wants more than a little deflation between now and next November."

R. A. Colgan, Jr., executive vice president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, made a report on the Association's progress, and explained in some detail the work of the National Affairs Department.

A. J. Glassow, N.L.M.A. president, in a brief talk ex-

pressed appreciation for the support that the Western Pine Association is giving to the National Association.

W. S. Kennon, chairman of the promotion committee introduced Joe Sherar, who has succeeded N. L' Cary as head of the advertising and promotion department, and his assistant, Bob Leonard.

Standing committee reports were made as follows: Forest Conservation, J. F. Dagget; Grading, Clarence Crowley; Promotion, W. S. Kennon; Research, Larty Pugh; Statistical, H. F. Root; Traffic, Raymond H. Berry.

President Homer B. Jamison presided at the general meeting on FridaY.

The officers were all re-elected at the meeting of the Association's Board of Directors in the afternoon. These are :

Homer B. Jamison, Byles-Jamison Lumber Co', Fresno, president; A. J. Glassow, Brooks-Scanlon, Inc., Bend, Oregon, and Percy V. Burke, Sacramento Box Co., Sacramento, vice presidents; A. C' Lighthall, Oregon Lumber Co., Baker, Oregon, treasurer.

The visiting evangelist, about to open a big revival meeting, asked the Mayor of the city for a list of citizens especially in need of prayer. The Mayor sent him the city directory.

The famous formula of Arthur Frederick Sheldon continues to be as sound as when it was first uttered-that to be successful a man must increase his AREA, his Ability, his Reliability, his Endurance, and his Action.

{€ 'rl. {.

Competition makes for quality. It always has, it does now, and it always will. Talk about the things for which there are no substitutes, competition leads the list. Millions go frorn cradle to grave without knowing what it is to live. Such men simply spend their days postponing death as long as possible. Without the glory of trying to outthink and out-work the rest of creation, they never know the glory and satisfaction of really TRYING. To be valuable and useful, a man must compete. A man so placed in life that he cannot or will not compete, misses most of the joy of living.

Speaker Joe Martin says that the Bureaucrats continue unchanged; their whole philosophy being-"You lend itwe'll spend it." To cut any expense, no matter how practical or logical, is a cardinal sin, because cutting expenses means cutting out votes, and cutting out votes means cutting out Bureaucrats.

Many guesses have been rnade (most of them not printable) about where Bureaucrats come from. A good friend of mine is convinced he has discovered the answer. He found it in the Bible. How he happened to be looking there, he doesn't say. He read the Parable of the Talents; about the master who went away and left his three stewards to look after his business. To one he gave five talents, to another two, and to the third he gave one talent.

d(. * {<

When he got back the steward with the five talents had doubled them by wise investment. So had the one with two talents. So he praised and promoted them. The one with whom he left one talent had been too timid and stupid to do anything with it, so he buried it in the ground and left it there. Ffe won the wrath of the master.

Then my friend read the Parable of the F'oolish Virgins. Ten, you remember (or do you?) were invited to come to a wedding and bring the lamps for the occasion. Five of

them failed to put oil in their lamps, so they were of no use at the ceremony, and they won the title of the Foolish Virgins, because they had failed to use any judgment in their wedding preparaatoy.* *

The conclusion that my friend reached after reading those two stories from the Scripture, is that the steward with one talent,rnust have married one of the Foolish Virgins, and their descendants have followed in their footsteps and are therefore known as Bureaucrats. In fact, my friend is willing to bet on it.

The tragic death of Gandhi reminds us that India has produced other wise men who were famous instruments for peace among men. The greatest of these was named Asoka. Unlike Gandhi, this man possessed unlimited temporal and worldly power, which made his example of kindliness, helpfulness, and brotherly love all the more remarkable. For he was the Emperor of all India about three hundred years before Christ, in an age when power and brutality usually went hand in hand. He was one of the gentlest, kindliest, most loving men in all the world's history. So grand was he that nobody even suspected him of guile or hypocrisy. He governed that great land with justice and kindness, which gives him high place in history.

Too bad we haven't an Asoka in the world today. He's the only character I ever read about who might have been able to act as arbitrator and talk "IJncle Joe" Stalin into the ways of peace, and happiness, and brotherly love. If there ever was a man who could have handled the cold killer from Georgia (NOT Georgia, USA, thank God), it was Asoka. Unfortunately there lives no man in these times even faintly resembling that Great Emperor of 300 B'c'

George S. Benson, President of Harding College, and an economist of outstanding sort, has issued some facts, based on our Bureau of Labor Statistics figures, that are illuminating, showing what Russian laborers today, and American laborers, have to pay for necessities in terms of work time. A Russian factory worker, under the new Russian money and prices, pays his income from one hour and eighteen minutes for a quart of rnilk; the average American factory worker pays for a quart of milk with ten minutes work'

A pound of butter costs this same Russian worker ten hours and 42 minutes labor; the American 48/2 minutes work. This same Russian pays four weeks work for a part

The Russian works two weeks to pay for a pair of shoes that the American earns in less than a day. Everything else included in the necesities of life take about the same relative positions. Here a man can engage in any work he desires, he can initiate, he can invent, and can be as prosperous as his thinking and working justifies. In Russia he can do and have none of these things. What a pity it is we cannot forthwith send to Russia every Communist supporter in this country, to enjoy the fruits of *aoT*Int"at first hand.

Oh well, here's one step toward a better world-along the edge of the wrapper on each stick of Beeman's pepsin gum is printed, "Save this wrapper for disposal of gum after use." Mr. Wrigley puts it a little more bluntly"Keep wrapper to put *T f before throwing away,"

Speaking of inflation-as who these days does not?-a certain Dutch steamship line furnishes a startling example. Ten years ago they built a luxury liner at a cost of about $9,000,000. She was used only briefy before the war, and then laid up. Now she is back in trans-Atlantic service, running into New York. The ship that originally cost nine millions to build complete, recently cost twelve millions just to refurnish and redecorate.

A cheer for Sam Sherman, New York bow-tie king. He has been placing ads in newspapers throughout the country, not offering his goods for sale, but urging Americans not to throw away old clothes, but to assemble them for shipment to the ragged citizens of countries abroad. Swell advertising,eh?

The great Athenian orator, Pericles, used to pray the Gods to permit him to utter no unnecessary word in his public speaking, and he became one of the world's greatest orators. The Hindoo religion calls for spending a considerable portion of each day in silence, contemplation, and placid thought. How sadly we need some of these philosophies in the days we live in. The world is so filled with foolish, meaningless, useless talk, where silence and contemplation would be so delightful. "There are two signs of a weak mind," said the old Persian proverb, "to speak when one should be silent, and to be silent when one should speak." Rare, indeed, is the gift of knowing when to talk and when to be silent. *

Speaking of words, the bitterest official letter ever written in American history, was penned by General George B. McClellan to Secretary of, War E M. Stanton on June

28th,1862. After two days of desperate fighting with what McClellan considered inadequate forces, he sat down and wrote a letter to his chief that burned the paper, and that ended with these bitter words: "I have seen too many dead and wounded comrades to feel otherwise than that the government has not sustained this army. If you do not do so now, the game is lost. If I save this army now, I tell you plainly that I owe no thanks to you or any other persons in Washington. YOU HAVE DONE YOUR BEST TO SACRIFICE THIS ARMY.'' ***

We frequently hear or read the phrase "going from the sublime to the ridiculous," and the assumption usually carries that these two are far apart. Yet Thomas Paine, famous patriot and thinker, did not agree. He said: "The sublime and the ridiculous are often so nearly related that it is difficult to class them separately. One step above the sublime makes the ridiculous; and one step above the ridiculous makes the sublime." ***

When Ptolemy, the Grecian astronomer, was studying the heavens in ancient Athens, he had no telescope, no spectroscope, no stellar photography to assist him, yet he was able to count and identify lO22 stars in the skies. Wouldn't that wonderful old boy have fuh today in one of our modern observatories where he could fool around with some thirty billion solar systems right here in our own universe-our own back yard you might say-without even considering the countless other stellar universes they now know about? With only his naked eye, that old Greek star gazer did a wonderful job, and set the stage for the great astronomy sharps of today.

Some wag has said that the greatest human invention is kissing. But another and more serious philosopher says that the world's most useful and important invention is the naught in mathematics. For without this circular symbol that means nothing, it would be impossible to carry on mathematics of any sort. And without mathematics, what would the world do? The inventors of this priceless symbol vvsls-nsf the Greeks or the Romans-butstrange to relate-the Arabs. And most of the names of the'constellations of stars in the heavens are Arabian. Well, what do you know?

\(/ood Conversion Company Announc€s Extensive Plant Expansion

St. Paul, Minn., January D, Ig4f,.._Plans embracing an extensive four-year plant expansion for the Wood Conversion Company became known today when E. W. Davis, the company's president, announced the completion of a new large-capacity steam generating plant at Cloquet, Minnesota. The company, one of the Weyerhaeuser Forest Products group, distributes its insulation, building material and industrial products nationally. Headquarters are in St. Paul, with sales offices in Chicago and New York, while the products are manufactured in Cloquet.

Begun shortly after V-J Day, the company's large-scale expansion of its production facilities will be completed during 1948 and will virtually double the company's combined production capacity of Balsam-Wool blanket insulation, Nu-Wood insulation products, Tufilex wood fiber felts and other industrial products such as low temperature insulating fiber. According to Mr. Davis, completion of the program will also substantially increase the number of Wood Conversion Company employees, now totaling over 1,000 at the Cloquet plant and in the company offices.

Details of the expansion program were given by Mr. Davis in an interview today. "In addition to the new steam .plant," he said, "the program is comprised of the following projects: the Balsam-Wool plant is being enlarged and its equipment expanded to nearly double the present output. Also being erected are a Nu-Wood board machine, a new wood preparation and processing plant, and a new mill to produce pulp for making Nu-Wood products' The size of the Tufflex plant will be expanded to more than double the present outPut."

The new boiler plant, under construction since early in 1946 and now in operation, was designed by Pfeifer & Schultz, consulting engineers, with Power Service Corporation as the general contractors. The steam generating unit consists of a Babcock & Wilcox 600 pound pressure boiler with integral furnace equipped to burn either pulverized coal or oil and having a generating capacity of 100,000 pounds of steam Per hour.

"The building housing the new boiler is of steel and masonry construction, and is designed to provide for additional boiler installations as future plant expansion be-

comes necessarf. Provisions have been made for using the high-pressure steam to generate electricity when the occasion demands. Along with the new steam capacity, all other plant services are being increased proportionately, including water supply, electric power, materials handling and trackage facilities."

Relieves Over-taxed Plant Facilities

"The new steam plant marks an important step in the over-all program," Mr. Davis stated, "since it relieves the over-taxed plant facilities resulting from the increased demands of the building industry, as well as of the many new. industrial markets created with the advent of Tufflex products."

According to D. M. Pattie, vice president and general manager of the company, Tufflex, the nell'est addition to the Wood Conversion Company's line of products, was developed in the company's laboratory following Pearl Harbor and served many urgent war needs. "At the war's

Dinner

Oh hour upon hour, the most blest upon earth Blessed hour of our dinners. The land of his birth The face of his first love, the bills that he owes, The twaddle of friends and the venom of foes, The sermon he heard when to church he last went, The rnoney he borrowed, the money he spent, All these things, f befieve, a man may forget And not be the worse for forgetting-but yet Never, never, O never, earth's luckiest sinner, Hath unpunished forgotten the hour of his dinner; Indigestion, that conscience of every bad stomache, Shall relentlessly gnaw and pursue him with some ache Or pain; and trouble, remorseless, his best ease, As the furies once troubled the sleep of Orestes. We may live without poetry, music, and art, We may live without conscience and live without heart, We-may live without friends, we may live without books, But civilized rnan cannot live without cooks. We may live without books-what is knowledge but grieving?

We may live without hope-what is hope but deceiving? We may live without love-what is passion but pining?

But where is the man who can live without dining?

(From Owen Meredith's 'Lucille")

They Knew Their Mcrth

During World War One, a dusky American soldier "over there," $ras spending his Sunday rnorning trying to rid himself and his clothing of the heavy supply of "cooties" he had accumulated up front where there were no washing facilities.

A Sergeant noticing his efforts wanted to know what he was doing. The soldier said:

"I'se huntin' fo' dem 'rithmatic bugs."

The Sergeant caught on. He asked:

"But why do you call those cooties 'rithmatic bugs?"

The soldier said:

"Cause dey add to mah misery, dey subtracks from mah pleasha, dey devides mah attenshun, and dey multiplies lak hell."

The Scme

"'When you're away, I'm restless, lonely, Wretchedl, bored, dejected; only Here's the rub, my darling dear, I feel the same when you are here."

Lcbor crnd Luck

Luck is ever waiting for something to turn up.

Labor, with keen eyes and strong will, will turn up something.

Luck lies in bed and waits for the postman to bring him a legacy.

Labor turns out at seven a.m. with a busy pen or a ringing hammer and lays the foundation for competence.

Luck whines.

Labor whistles.

Luck relies on chance.

Labor on character.

Originclity

The two colored gents were brought into court, one of them badly beaten up. The Judge said to the other one whom he knew: "Mose, the Devil must have been in you to make you hurt this man in such a way."

He looked his victim over casually, and remarked: "Jedfe, de debbil mighta tole me to black his eyes and bust his nose an' mouf, but chewin' his ear off-dat was mah own idea."

Goinq to Wcrste

A man traveling in the mountains of Tennessee, stopped at a cabin and asked for a drink of water. An old'vvoman brought it to him, and after drinking he had quite a talk with her. He told her of his travels, and of wonders he had seen in many parts of the world. Finally he stopped bragging, and the old woman took the pipe from her mouth and said:

"Stranger, if I knowed as much as you do, I'd go somewhere and start a little grocery."

Abrcrhcm Lincoln on Law

"Let reverence for law be breathed by every mother to her lisping babe. Teach it in colleges. Write it in primers, spelling books, and almanacs. Preach it in pulpits. Proclaim it in legislative halls. Enforce it in the courts of Justice. Let it become the religion of every nation, and let men and women of all tongues and colors sacrifice unceasingly at its altars."

Oliver Wendell Holmes Scid:

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. To reach the desired port we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but we MUST sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.

end, this line of wood fiber felt was quickly accepted as a new and unique material suitable for industrial uses," Mr Pattie said. "Because Tufilex combines the qualities of resilience, flexibility, fleecy softness and durability, it found ready acceptance in many industrial fields, and demand soon exceeded plant capacity. Currently, Tufflex is serving more than a hundred industrial uses throughout the United States."

Prominent among the uses of Tufflex, Mr. Pattie said, are its application as a sound and thermal insulation in the roofs and dashboards of automobiles, as a cushioning material in upholstered furniture, protective wrapping for the shipment of fragile items such as lighting fixtures, and as padding in mattress borders.

"Our continued emphasis on research and development of new products," Mr. Pattie stated, "will, in the future, produce a still wider variety of materials to serve housing and industrial markets. In doing so' we will create an increasing number of employment opportunities and further the development of the pulpwood industry in northern Minnesota."

Wood Conversion Company began construction of its first production unit in Cloquet, Minnesota nearly 26 yeats ago. From the original small plant producing a single productBalsam-Wool house insulation, and employing less than a score of people, the company has expanded to an organization of national prominence'

Stanton Labor Cost Savings Plan Pays Ott

"It is our desire to build an aggressive organization of energetic men who are willing to work, and make this plan work, by actual application to the job of handling lumber," declared LeRoy H. Stanton, President, E. J. Stanton & Son, Inc., Los Angeles, as he presented each union employee in the company with an extra wage check Monday, February 16, 1948.

The purpose of this plan is to divide frfty (50%) per cent of all labor savings antong the union employees in the organization where the basic union labor cost is less than 9.3/o ol net yard sales for any quarterly period. For the period ended December 31,1947, the men of the plant did the job Tor a cost of approximately B/o of yard sales.

Orange County Hoo-Hoo Club

A group of Orange County lumbermen had a luncheon meeting at the Town lfouse Cafe, Santa Ana, on February 12, to formulate plans to reorganize the Orange County Hoo-Hoo Club. Several Hoo-Hoo members from Los Angeles also attended. Les Steffensen, Barr Lumber Company, Santa Ana, presided. Roy Stanton, Supreme Junior Hoo-Hoo, and Dee Essley, chairman of the Committee arranging for the annual convention which will be held in Los Angeles next September, made short talks.

The Club is arranging for a dinner and concatenation to be held soon at the Santa Ana Golf and Country Club, Santa Ana, in which members from the Los Angeles and San Diego Clubs will participate. There will be a golf tournament in the afternoon.

Returns Lost $10 Bill

Al Privett, manager of the E. K. Wood Lumber Company, Los Angeles reports that a large carload of lumber recently arrived at its yard which was shipped by the Carl Deidold sawmill at Myrtle Creek, Oregon. Before the lumber arrived, they had a letter from the sawmill folks advising that one of the men who was working with the crew loading the lumber in the car lost a $10 bill, and requested when the lumber was being unloaded that the men be on the lookout for the missing ten bucks.

Sure enough, one of the men found the $10 bill, and Al says, it has been mailed back to the mill where it will be turned over to the person who lost it, and we bet he is a happy gent, too.

Forest Chief Urgas Watershed Protection

San Francisco, February 4- California's critical water situation demonstrates the necessity of intensified watershed management as recommended by Chief Lyle F. Watts of the U.S. Forest Service in his 1947 annual report, just received at Forest Service regional headquarters here.

, Mr. Watts said that the kind and degree of protection and care given these watersheds have Tar-reaching influences on the nation's stream-flow and water resources. Generally the lands to which he referred are forest and wild areas at higher elevations and the source of all our major rivers.

He went on.to say that over much of the highland watershed area, adequate fire protection, range management good enough to maintain forage cover, and forest practices such as maintain good forest growth, would serve to protect the watersheds. On the other hand, he said there are certain critical areas where more specialized treatment is needed, and a considerable area where treeplanting or reseeding to grasses is necessary to restore the vegetative cover.

Mr. Watts stated that more upstream flood-control surveys under the Flood Control Act of 1936 are needed, with prompt "follow-up" on recommendations for corrective action, than is'now being done. This includes such measures as reforestation, revegetation, changes in land uses, upstream engineering and intensified fire control. Greatly curtailed during the war, work has since been resumed on a number of projects, and Congress has appropriated funds for additional surveys on several river drainages.

As to the timber situation, the chief forester finds, as he did last year, that saw timber is being takeri from the forests Il times as fast as it is being replaced by growth; that the downward trend of the forest resource has yet to be reversed. He notes the tight newsprint situation, foresees further increase in our pulp and paper requirements, already highest among nations, and sees in the commercial timber of Southeast Alaska, mostly in the Tongass National Forest, an opportunity to greatly increase our supply. The Forest Service proposes to manage this timberland primarily for production of pulp timber on a sustained yield basis, but says that "recent proposals to throw open the national forests of Alaska to homesteading may be a deterrent to early development of a paper industry." Bids have been asked on the sale of two large tracts

oT the Tongass timber, but the report says whether this will lead to production of newsprint or other pulp and paper products is not as yet known.

Timber cut from national forests during the year reached 3.8 billion board feet, half a billion above the previous record, while timber-sale receipts jumped to $15,400,000 as compared to $10,600,000 the previous year. To date, it was reported, close to 200,000 acres of national-forest range have been artificially reseeded.

The Division of Fire Control called successful the first actual use of helicopters in fighting forest fires and the use of wartime bombing techniques with water or chemicals for the same purpose. These operations were carried out in cooperation with the Army Air Forces.

Approves Renewal Of Affiliation \fith Ferronol J{trt

American Institute Ol Architects

The executive committee of the Producers' Council has approved a renewal of the Council's 26 year old affiliation with the American fnstitute of Architects, according to an announcement by E. P. Larsonj The Celotex Corporation, president of the Council's San Francisco Chapter.

Mr. Larson's announcement followed a meeting of chapter presidents which he attended January 27 and. 8 in Chicago.

"IJnder the continuing affiliation, the Council and the A.I.A. will collaborate on technical programs designed to improve the quality and lower the cost of construction," Mr. Larson said.

"The executive committee also approved five other programs which the Council and its local chapters will develop during the coming year:

"1. The program of modular coordination will be expanded and further developed, with the aid of a special technical consultant.

"2. The Industry Engineered Housing program will be developed further with respect to engineering details.

"3. The principles of industry engineering will be applid to multiple rental housing, in cooperation with other industry branches, as a means of introducing into rental construction the same general economies as have been demonstrated in the enginering and design of individual homes.

"4. Active support will be given to the research program to be conducted by the Building Research Advisory Board, which was officially endorsed by the executive committee.

"5. Efforts to modernize restrictive building codes will be continued.

"In addition, the committee approved a comprehensive program to inform the public of the progress being made by the building industry and of the industry's importance to the national economy.

"Presidents oi 29 of. the Council's 30 local chapters attended the two-day conference which followed the meeting of the executive committee."
