Lumber price trends are still upward but the pressure is not as hectic as recent weeks, reports Crow's Lumber Market News Service in the period ending Feb. 13. Standard & Btr green fir dimension remained firm and other items and species which had lagged were moving into line with 1959 levels. It was still difficult for wholesalers to buy 'unless they met the mills' price. Kiln-dried Douglas fir dimension came up alor-rg with the green and was holding. DF dimension for water shipment maintains a strong price structure and some producers with long order files were asking peak. figures, just as. they are for rail shipment. No. 2 common ponderosa pifre Loards strengthened a bit, while No. 4 appeared to ,be leveling off.

Shipments of 480 mills reporting to the National Lumber Manufacturers Assn. in the week ending Feb. 14 wete 0.6/o above prorluction: new orders were 6.2/o above Orders of 101,456,930 feet at 148 mills reporting (137 operating) to the West Coast Lunbermen's Assn. in the week ending Feb. 14 were 12.2/o over production Orders of 88,597,000 feet were 3.7/o above production at 118 mills reporting to the Western Pine Association in the week ended Feb. 7.

I've shut the door on yesterday, Its sorrows and mistakes; I've locked within its gloomy walls Past failures and heartachesl

And now I throw the key away To seek another room And furnish it with hope and smiles And every springtime bloom.

No thought shall enter this abode That has a hint of pain, And neither malice nor distrust Shall ever therein reign.

f've shut the door on yesterday

And thrown the key away; Tomorrow holds no doubt for me

Since I have found Today.

A herd of cows came by about daylight the next morning. saw the popcorn and thought it was snow, and they just leaned up against the fence and froze to death. Anyway that's the story.

Hordwood Plywood lmporters Coll Cormel, Colif., Conclove 'Best'

The Imported Hardwood Plywood Association of America held its 1959 annual meeting at the Highlands Inn in Carmel, January 2?-3L. The meeting was attended by the major importers of plywood as well as many door manufacturers, stock panel distributors and guests. It was an interesting and productive meeting which was also enjoyed by all attending.

The IHPA can look back upon a rnost successful year in every way. The imported plywoocl business has inireased greatly because of improved customer conlidence and the obvious desire of overseas suppliers in all countries, as well as domestic importers, distributors and users, to promote the business irr a predictable and orthodox manner.

The recur-rent legislation to eliminate or restrict plywood imports in Washington was successfully o.uercome during the past year. This_year another l.rearing has been requested before the Tariff Commission concerniirg the future- of the imported plywood business. It is believ'ed that again this year it will be found that imported plywoocl helps domestic lumber and 'ivood products producers to sell rnoie tl.ran ever before.

The Association rendered a hearty vote of thanks to Managing Secretary Gordon fngraham and to Past President Jack Davidson and his officers for a magnificent job during the past year.

Lerrett LumberGompony Will Continue Distribution Yard

Because Lerrett Lumber Company has been able to negotiate a favorable lease on the property it has been occupying in the heart of the eastside Los Angeles industrial district for several years, Joe Terrell, owner of the wholesale concern, announces the company will continue the yard distribution service of Redwood Clears to dealers and wholesalers in the Southern California. Nevada and Arizona trade areas. IJpper grades of Redwood are in stock and more than 50 patterns are available for immediate pick-up, it was said.

More than a million feet of choice redwood is carried in stock at all times for the dealer trade, it is pointed out, and all finish stock is stored in the two under-cover warehouses maintained at the lO-acre plant of the wholesale firm.

"We have an unlimited source of supply," said Joe Terrell, "and we are in a position to fill all orders promptly and efficiently."

Assisting Joe at the administration level is Sue Peter, who has been r,r'ith the wholesale concern for the past 10 years. She will continue to manage the office and order desk sales in addition to her duties as secretary to the president.

The Lerrett lumber facility is located at 7227 Telegraph Rd., Los Angeles 22, ad.jacent to the Santa Ana Freeway and just minutes from all Southern California cities and communities. Joe Terrell has been identified with lumber in the Southland for many years and has been conducting the affairs of the Lerrett wholesale organization for the past l4 years in the Los Angeles area.

"We are definitely going to continue with the policy we established many years ago to service the dealer, regardless of the quantity he desires, because no order is too small, or large, for us to handle," he declares.

Mqn Chorged for Shoiling on Lumber

Visalia, Calif.-District Attorney Ballantyne has issued a misdemeanor fraud complaint against Earl Girard, Hilmar, Calif., who allegedly shorted Paul Hosfeldt, Porterville businessman, in the sale of some lumber last August 21. Girard assertedly delivered onlv 25.000 feet of lumber to Hosfeldt, owner of Porterville Equipment Rentals, when Hosfeldt paid for 35,000 feet. It was additionally charged

that Girard delivered a lower grade of lumber on a price paid for Construction grade.

The case was reported to the district attomey's office following an investigation by the West Coast Lumbermen's Assn., which early last month was attempting to locate Girard for similar deals with other San Joaquin Valley buyers. Hosfeldt said he paid $2,450 for the lumber.

'O|d-timers'Bid Forewell to Historic 'House of Hoo-Hoo'

January 28 will go down in history as one of the high spots in the annals of Hoo-Hoo in the Pacific Northwest, for it was on this occasion that Seattle Hoo-Hoo Club 34 celebrated the Gold-

en Anniversary of the "House of Hoo- ' lloo" on the campus of the University of Washington. Designated as Old Timers' Night, it was a gala affair with , nearly 70 cats attending from all over the state of Washington and one from j California. Don Briggs, president of the Tacoma club, and Q. E. MacEathron, past-president, brought a : delegation of members from the great lumber center.

Old Hoo-Hoo House

To Be Torn Down

The meeting was held in the SO-yearold Seattle "llouse of Hoo-Hoo," built and financed by local club members in 1909 as the - hospitality center for ' visiting lumbermen and their families at the famed Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. For the past half-century, F;-l-: jl" it has served as the Facultv club of the 5 University of Washington but was to be torn down starting in February to make way for a modern quarter-million-dollar .structure.

Other "old-timers" included President-Emeritus Henry Schmitz of the University of Washington, who is honorary vice-chairman of the Organizing committee for the Fifth World Forestry Congress to be held in Seattle in the fall of 1960 (of which Seattle Hoo-Hoo President Gordon D. Marckworth is a member), and Hugh Brady, old-time Seattle lumberman. And there were three retired faculty members who were among those who took over the transfer of the Seattle House of Hoo-Hoo to the University of Washington in 1909 as its Faculty Club.

Early History of Hoo-Hoo

The oldest living Snark of the Universe, Charles D. LeMaster, 29727, was on deck. As Rameses29.he is the sixth Seer of the House of Ancients.

The affair was sparkling with members of the House of Ancients and latter-day dignitaries: Ernie L. Wales, Spokane, Washington, 1958 Snark of the Universe and now Rameses 50. and Arthur H. Geiger, Tacoma, Rameses 45both veritable youngsters but elderly only in the technical sense of

A note of 'nostalgia was in evidence as old timers were greeted at the door by the Seattle club president, Gordon D. Marckworth. dean of the university's College of Forestry, and Walter H. Schaeffer, president of the Faculty club, who acted as co-hosts. Perhaps the most touching scene was the arrival of Walter B. Nettleton, grand old youth of eighty, the oldest living member of the Seattle Hoo-Hoo Club, who wds just barely able to navigate with a sturdy cane but whose youthful gleam

President Marckworth related the history of Hoo-Hoo in Seattle and the building of the House of Hoo-Hoo half a century ago. He told how a zealous building committee of nine members of the old Seattle club undertook the fund-raising campaign and succeeded in garnering $17,615.09 in subscriptions and then completing the structure and providing for its operation during tl-re Exposition at a total cost of $17,604.38 with $10.71 cash left over with which to celebrate. The beautiful building, now doomed to make way for progress, is living evidence of the love and devotion and careful planning that went into its creation.

The consulting architect for the new club house, Victor Steinbrueck, associate professor of Architecture, IJniversity of Washington, displayed a scale model of the new structure with timeyellowed plans of the original building resurrected from the attic of the home of the former architect. Ellsworth Storey, where Steinbrueck is presently residing. He painted a glowing picture (Continued on Page 68)

Gets Fitting Showcose in New Concord Store

Diamond Gardner Company. the "!ig Daddy" of_them all, previewed its brand new super-yard in Concord, Calif., to a large groupof Contra Costa County builders on Thursday evening, Ianuari 15. Otte of the largest and most comfortable building emporiums of its type in Northern-California,-the new plant was con-

structed at a cost of several hundred thousand dollars and incorporates iust about every phase 6f modern-day

merchandising to be found anywhere.

Deviating from a general modernization program of its long and narrow "muzzle-loading" yards, a program outlined by Diamond Gardner's general manager, Chester E. Hinshaw, in the August 15, 1956, issue of The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT, the new Concord super-yard is a ground-up project-new property, some 25,000 sq. ft. of new buildings, new inventory-the works.

The undisputed flagship of Diamond's 56-yard California fleet, the new builders' and do-it-yourself emporium represents lumberyard merchandising at its best, and a brief stroll through the operation should convince even the most rabid lumberyard critic that the retail lumber dealer is here to stay, to help build and grow with his community, and to serve his community best-better than any other "comelately" method-through superior service and the most efficient distribution possible of "Everything for the Home."

Following the "sneak prevue," attended by over 200 Contra Costa builders. architects and their wives the evening of January 15, Diamond Gardner opened its modernistic doors for one and all to see and sample for the next two days. The usual grand opening hoopla was coupled with a big, well-managed home and garden show staged in the yard's new 15,000 sq. ft. lumber sales area.

Some 35 manufacturers and distributors participated in the show, displaying everything from underground sprink- ler systems to k'itchen displays and portable generatbrs.

a narrte that has meant Sincere Seraice in lumber since 1914

Pre-opening publicity by newspaper advertising, handbills and radio spots on Pittsburg Station KKIS did the rest.

Diamond Gardner has been in the retail lumber business in California since 1904. In fact, the company's first yard building, located near Diamond Gardner's big Chico m'atch plant and planing mill, is still being used for storage purpos_es. ln lX)7, Diamond acquired the timber operations and s_even retail yards of Sierra Lumber Company,lroaden- arru severt rerarr yarqs or Jlerra \-ompany, Droadening the company's service area to include Red Bluff, Corn-

ing, Orland, Woodland, Yuba City and Biggs, California.

W.- B. _Dean, superintendent of yards foi Sierra, stayed on with Diarnond and convinced the comDany that with

the expected growth of the Sacramento Valley the yards would prove profitable. When Dean retired in 1937, he had built the system to a total of 58 yards.

Dean was succeeded by Ira Brink. who continued to build the Diamond chain to a total of 75 yards in 1953. Brink retired during early 1956 af.ter 47 yeais' service with the Diamond organization. He was succeeded by Chester E. Hinshaw.

Since 1953, 19 of Diamond's smaller yards have been closed due to transportation improvements which have enlarged the areas which individual yards can serve. Of the remaining 56 yards, several have already been modernized

According to C. E. Hinshaw, division manager of the California Retail division, the Diamond Gardner Home Building Center, the newest of its kind in California, is lo-

cated on a 4f acre plot of ground. Store building and office ' area covers 7,00O square feet. Behind the main store structure is a 15,000 square foot storage and self-service warehouse that will house lumber and building materials.

According to Hinshaw, the store utilizes a supermarket approach to retailing lumber, paint, building material and

hardware. Merchandise is conveniently displayed for customers to see and handle, and to bring market shopping ease to the purchase of building products.

An important feature in the new store is the Home Planning Center, where Diamond Gardner will offer customers all types of assistance relating to home construction, including drafting services. The Diamond Gardner facility was designed by James N. Lindenberger,. Chicago. Blacktop parking facilities provide space for 50 automobiles.

"This is the first of a number of such remodeling projects Diamond has planned for its chain of retail lumber stores in Northern California," said Mr. Hinshaw. "We are planning an aggressive program using advanced retail merchandising ideas, many of which have been incorporated into the

The new salesman for the cream separator company had studied modernized salesmanship, and he believed very fully in following the program to which he had been schooled.

He approached his first prospect, an old farmer who was

sitting on his shady front porch during the noon hour. The farmer's wife sat not far off, knitting. The farmer was very pleasant and invited the new salesman to sit down and do his talking.

"Don't mind Mother, she's deef," he explained about his wife.

So the salesman began doing his stufi as he had been taught, talking of various things other than what he had to sell. He talked of cows of different breeds, of milk, and butter, etc., and was very busy establishing himself as an expert.

He noticed that the farmer was giving his remarks the closest attention, and apparently approving. Just then the wife turned to the farmer and asked:

"What does that young man want?"

"Wants to sell me something," he shouted to the deaf woman.

"What is it?" she insisted.

"Don't know yet," said the farmer, bait."

And then the young salesman got talking cream separators.

_-Sn-ar\ Don suggests early reservations and urges all Black Cats to turn out for this big event. He also wints to remind all Hoo-Hoo that only three more tournaments remain befo-re conclusion of the scheduled 1958-59 programs.

Sqcromenlo Hoo-Hoo Club I 09 Fetes Post Presidents ot Meet

Fourteen past presidents of Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club 109 were honored at the club's January 21 meeting, held at the Sherwood Room in Sacramento, with currenf President M. J. Cechettini directing the action. More than 60 Sacramento Valley area lumbermen attended the dinner meeting, including Sacramento's Jack Berry, Custocatian and Supreme Nine member.

Following libations and dinner, and a few words from each of the past presidents, President, Cechettini called on Jack Berry for a brief outline of the club's newly established Wood Promotion committee, chairmanned by Dick Merritt.

Plans for the new committee include the establishment of a speakers' bureau for the purpose of telling the story of Hoo-Hoo, promoting the use of wood and fostering better all-around public relations for the forest industry-.

It is called to our attention that the description of the Santa Ana retail lumberyard mentioned in the feature article on Pages l2-L6 ol the February 1 issue, regarding the J. W. Cbpeland Yards of California, gives the impression that the lumberyard described is the present Hammond Lumber Company yard in West Santa Ana. The article should have stated more clearly that the Copeland yard location there is at 1804 West sth St., Santa Ana. The retail lumberyard at t3872 Harbor Blvd., West Santa Ana, was the "oldl' Hammond Lumber Company yard. (actually the former company's newest yard, built just before the sale of the former Hammond Lumber Company to GeorgiaPacific Corp.) It was bought from Georgia-Pacific Corp. by the Johnson Cashway Lumber Co. interests of Nebraska and Los Angeles, along with other local yards, and is being operated under the Hammond Lumber Company name by the Johnson firm at the Harbor boulevard location in West Santa Ana now.

The possibility of using Sacramento's new educational TV station as media in this connection was also discussed.

Berry then called on Hugh Pessner, Deputy Snark of Northern California, who urged a general buildup and increased club activity through programs such as Club 109's new Wood Promotion projebt.

Program Chairman Homer Derr then took over the meeting and introduced Jack Major, director of athletics, Sacramento Junior College, who ha{ just returned from a tour of Russia. Major, an accomplished speaker and a gentleman of keen perception, reviewed his recent trip to Moscow with spebial emphasis on many of the mistaken impressions the average person from the West has about the U.S.S.R. in general, and its people in particular.

Of particular interest to Major was the average Russian's passion for sports, especially decathlon events, and he was impressed with the manner in which our field team (touring Russia at the time Major was there) was received when they played off a tough contest with Russia's crack trackmen in Moscow. Major's talk, one of the best in recent Club 109 history, was well received and considerably prolonged by questions from practically every lumberman present.

President Cechettini then closed the meeting with a reminder of the Club's March 18 meeting at the Sherwood Room and the three-way meeting of the Sacramento, Redwood Empire and Black Bart Hoo-Hoo Clubs at Dick's in Fairfield, set for April 10.

McCulloch Corp., Los Angeles, leading manufacturer of power chain saws, outboard motors and other internal combustion engine products, has appointed Robert Orser as advertising manager for the Chain Saw division, announces General Sales Manager Charles Allis.

Chonged His fftind

The manager rushed excitedly into the office of the owner, who asked what was the trouble.

"ft's Goodwin, our new salesman," explained the manager. "[Ie used the most insulting language to me just now. Told me to go fry my face if I didn't like his way of selling. And when I said I would report it all to you, he said you could go chase yourself."

"Looks like we'd better fire that young man right no.w," said the owner. "Tell me, how has he been doing with sales in the four months he's been with us?"

Said the manager, "Well, he sold five carloads the first month, ten cars the second month, twenty the third month, and this last month he sold forty cars."

The good-will and educational tour started last March from Eureka, California. The giant Redwood log-eight feet across, 20 feet long and weighing in at 32,0N pounds- is touring the country by truck as the major feature of Georgia-Pacific Corporation's Redwood Roadshow.

The giant log is transported on a specially-built trailer like the one used in forests. The Autocar DC 10264 has a 220-horsepower Diesel engine, 38,000-lb. capacity tandem axle, a S-speed main transmission and a 4-speed auxiliary transmission. The White Autocar has attractive chrome accessories such as cab roof marker lights, rear view mirror, air horn, and turn signals.

The-_log, cut from a tree more than 1500 years old and over 250 feet tall, is providing people all over the country a.n.impressive lo_ok at one of nature's oldest-and biggest- liytlg _species. Georgia-Pacific, one of the major proilucers of Redwood lumber, with timber reserves of i20,000 acres, states that the log is small by Redwood standards, but weight and size limitations prevented use of "a big one." Common to the Redwood logger are trees 12 to 16 feet across which must be quartered in the woods before they can be transported to the mill.

Coast Redwood-Sequoia Sempervirens-have grown as high as 364 feet straight up and as much as 20 feet in diameler: From a single Redwood, enough lumber has been cut to build 22 averaged,-sized homes.

The.log, exhibited in schools, shopping centers and public gatherings of all kinds, started in Oregon, toured the southwest and south, and headed east for a tour expected to attract several million people.

Ken Noble, Georgia-Pacific's ambassador from the tall limber, is the one-man cast of the show. Functioning as drive,r, prop-man, narrator and general encyclopedii of u'oods-lore, Mr. Noble has handled the show with a skill which has brought compliments at every stop. He has been with Georgia-Pacific's Hammond-Caliiornia Division for seven yeafs.

G-P spokesmen say response to the roadshow has been excellent, with better than one million visitors counted in

Special storage space in back of the cab holds the various displays used in the shou'. For protection of the encls of the log from road grime and dust, king-size "shower-caps" are slipped on before the truck moves.

New Profit Tips

The Union Lumber Company of Fort Bragg, Calif., recently avoided an expensive six-month wait until a new concrete foor in its warehouse cured properly by covering it with loose panels of Masonite /4" Tempered Presdwood to permit the use of heavyduty tractors.

Union Lumber Coinpany, a leading California redwood manufacturer, uses the tractors in the warehouse to haul heavy logs and finished lumber. The contractor told the company that the tractors' sharp lugs and tracks would have permanently damaged the uncured cement, bnt the temporary foor provided complete protection.

Anyone who owrrs a home freezer is a potential customer for perforated hardboard and paint.

Used to make a freezer inventory board. the panel material will help a family keep track of how many packages-and which kinds-of meat, vegetables, fruit, ice cream, etc. they have on hand at any time.

The inventory board is made by framing the hardboard with %-fy-/i- inch wood strips attached by glue and nails between the holes to provide space behind it. The framed board is then hung on the wall above the freezer by picture wire, or nailed or screwed to the wall. Golf tees are inserted into the perforations under headings that indicate the freezer's contents.

Each time a package is removed from the freezer, a tee is"pulled out and dropped in a jar or carr that's held in place at a corner of the board with a movable perforated board fixture. When the freezer is restocked, tees are put back into the board.

The entire board can be painted and

CELOTEX DISPLAY UNIT PUSHES PRODUCTS IN QUALITY MODEL HOMES

unit, standing about 5-ft. high and consisting of a panel set on an easel stand. It permits the individual builder to list the quality products and construction features he has built into his houses without cluttering the model house with a miscellany of individual displays and signs.

The panel, which is illuminated with back lighting, has ten slots into which translucent paper inserts bearing the llames of nationally known products and other merchandising features are placed. Eighty-two such pre-printed inserts are available from Celotex salesmen upon request by the builder, 69 of which bear the names of other leading manufacturers of building materials and products. Provision also is made for insertion of the builder's firm name at the top of the panel.

Another striking feature of this display unit is the shelf with a perforated backing which is located below'the panel ou the stand. Here the builder can place product or model home literzrture, price information, alternate floor plans or elevations, as well as other material he might wish to make availzrble as "take-home" pieces to his home prospects.

and that response to this unit from builders encouraged Celotex to develop an even more functional unit of a floorstanding type.

"We recognize that a builder is first a merchant of houses and second a buyer of building materials," points out Greenwood. "We believe that one of the builder's strongest sales points is his use of brand name materials and products. This display permits him to emphasize in an attractive manner these as well as other quality features to prospects visiting his model house."

Simpson Redwood Steps Up Morketing Progrom With Plont Exponsions

Simpson Redwood Company has expanded by 30/o the remanufacturing capacity of its plants at Arcata and Korbel, California, to provide faster handling of redwood orders and to insure continuing high quality of the firm's redwood products. The expansion of facilities is in line with Simpson's increased advertising, promotion, and redwood marketing programs. Completion is scheduled for April.

Gordon J. Manary, vice-president and general manager, said the expansion will give the company more flexibility in its production facilities and will enable it to operate at maximum efficiency under varying market conditions.

Additions include a dry storage building at Arcata containing 64,000 square feet, and a similar installation at Korbel of 119,000 square feet. An additional planer opera-

tion is being installed at Arcata, and the existing Korbel planing mill will be modern-ized.

According to Manary, these additions are designed to improve the processing and handling of redwood under cover, plus providing equipment which will increase the quality of the redwood output. One step will be installation df smboth end-trimming ind end-bra?rding machinery at the Korbel plant.

Both projects, when completed, will add a four million board feet of dry storage area to wood Company's facilities.

liminary total is 155,800 more than 1957, repofts the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

Nonfarm housing starts reversed a 2-year downtrend and rose to a total of almost 1,200,000 units in 1958, according to preliminary estimates of the U.S. I-abor Department's Buieau of Labor Statistics. The unusually large vblume of housing begun in the second half of the year pushed the 1958 total l5/o above 1957, to the highest level since 1955.

December starts declined much less than usual for the time of year to 91,000 units, which was more than 4O/o above the December figures for the previous two years. The 89,500 private units started in December 1958 almost matched the 1954 record for the month and represented a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,430,000 units.

Private housing begun in 1958 totaled 1,130,600 units, or l4Vo more than in 1957. Gains over the rrear were due mainly'to the sharp upturn in FHA-assisted housing, which accounted for 26/o of the privately financed starts in 1958, compared with 17% in 1957. The number of conventionallv financed dwelling'units increased about 5/o over the yeai, but the share of total private housing which was conventionally financed declined from 7O/o ln 1957 to 65/o in 1958. Housing started under the VA program was down 20/o frorn 1957 despite substantial gains in the latter half of the year, and represented only 9/o of the 1958 private total.

Publicly owned housing placed under construction in 1958 totaled 67]W units-the largest number started since 1951. Most of the increase in the public category was to pro- vide housing at military installations under the Capehart program, which accounted for more than half of the public housing begun in 1958.

Almost a fifth of all dwelling units (private and pub- lic) started in 1958 were in apartment buildings and other multifamily structures. Preliminary estimates indicate that the total number of such rental-type units increased by more than 30o/o over the year and approached the 1949-5C postwar record volume of multifamily construction. The number of new single-family units was about 10/o higher in 1958 than in 1957.

The gains in new housing activity in 1958 were greatest in the metropolitan areas of the country, reflecting the upturn in apartment construction as well as the increased activity under the FHA programs. After declining in 1957, housing starts in metropolitan areas rose l8/o in 1958. The comparable 1958 gain in non-metropolitan areas was 9/o.

According to preliminary estimates, all regions of the

Specicl Pockoge Leqse Plqn Avoiloble to Lumber Industry

A special Package Lease Plan for the lumber industry is announced by Nationwide Leasing Company, Chicago 3, Illinois, under which any combination of equipment may be considered one package and leased as a unit for three to five years. According to Robert Sheridan, Nationwide presi-

dent, the Package Lease permits large and small firms to acquire $10,000, $25,000, $50,000 or more in equipment without capital investment.

Under the Lumber Industry Package Lease, a company could lease $10,000 worth of equipment for three years for a monthly payment of $320. The $25,000 Package Lease would cost $800 monthly for three years, $625 monthly for four years. A $50,000 Package Lease features three, four, and five-year terms. Three-year leases would cost $1,@0 monthly; four years, $1,250; five years, $1,050.

"This Nationwide Package Lease was developed to meet the need of lumber firms to expand and modernize production facilities without depleting their liquid working capital," Sheridan pointed out. "Any combination of equipment may be lumped together in one package, under one lease, with one monthly lease payment."

New FHAFolder Promoles Home Modernizqtion

Lumber dealers and builders interested in promoting home modernization sales will find a valuable merchandising aid in a four-color folder released by the FHA Title I Office in Washington.

The 3r/a by 6'/c inch folder stresses the ease of getting Title I loans for such improvements as roofing and siding. Rather than promoting specific products or methods, the folder stresses the economic soundness of investing in these improvements. It further states that one out of six homes needs new siding, one out of five needs new roofing. Even more significant, according to FHA, is the fact that many homeowners don't realizg they are letting their homes become obsolete before their time by not getting these improvements right away. Thy are urged to consult a reputable builder or lumber dealer and then to obtain a Title I modernization loan from a local lending institution.

Although the folder is concerned primarily with pointing out the pride and peace of mind that go with these essi:ntial improvements, it does mention briefly the advantages of using insulating siding-lower fuel cost, freedom from painting, reduction in noise, protection from vermin, insects and fungus.

Lumber dealers or building contractors who would like to obtain a free sample of the folder can get one from Stephen Smith, Kaufman Press, 25 Massachusetts Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. or the Insulating Siding Association, Glenview, Ill.

Retoil Lumbermqn Joins HHFA

Appointment of Walter Rosenberry as Deputy Administrator of the Housing and Home Finance Agency is announced by HHFA Administrator Norman P. Mason. He previously had been special assistant to Mr. Mason when the latter was Commissioner of the Federal Housing Administration.

Mr. Rosenberry has had important business connections in several western states, principally with the lumber industry. Born in Thief River Falls, Minnesota, he grew up in Idaho. After serving an apprenticeship in retail lumber yards in North and South Dakota and Minnesota, he had risen by the early 1930s to the general managership of a chain of thirty lumber yards operated by the Rock Island Lumber Company. He was then only 25 years old. By 1935 he was active in lumber companies connected with the Weyerhaeuser group, with headquarters in St. Paul and for many years took a prominent part in civic affairs in that city. He was a member of the executiv.e committee, Allied Building Credits, Inc.,1937-1948, and a director of the Hines Lumber Co., of Chicago. In 1950 he organized his own lumber company operating out of Billings, Montana, and Spokane, Washington.

determining the physical and mechanical characteristics of wood and the establishment of their values, and (b) terms and the equivalent terms used in various countries to designate the wood from each species, including the deciduous and the reslnous.

In their answers, the canvassed countries have been asked, among other things, to state whether they agree that the proposed question be studied; and if so, whether they are willing to participate in the work of the project.

If five member countries agree to participate, a standards project may be authorized by the International Organization for Standardization. ISO standards, however, are not mandatory-merely recommendations to member countries.

American industries and groups interested in the subject matter are invited to communicate with the American Standards Association, 70 East 45th Street, New York 17, N.Y.

Conodo Cloims Lorgest Accessible Resources of Free-World Timber

Canada's leadership in the free world's pulp and paper rnarket is apt to grow rather than decrease, according to a new market survey, "The Canadian Markets," compiled by the J. Walter Thompson Company and published by McGraw-Hill.

According to the survey, Canada has the largest remaining accessible timber resources in the free world, and is second only to the Soviet Union globally. A recent inventory reveals that the country has nearly 363 billion cubic feet of accessible timber of merchantable size ranging over an area of 536,970,M acres, some lo/o larger timber area than that of the United States. (Merchantable size refers to timber over four inches in diameter at breast height.) Total forest reserves cover some 1,037,468,N0 acres, or 45.57o of Canada's land area.

Retired Executives Help

Smoll Business Fighr ,R.ecession

"Of the 200,000 to 300,000 new businesses started in the

United States each year, 5O/o of them fail in two years,"

stated William B. Logan, president of William B. Logan & Associates. Inc.. at a recent luncheon at the California Club

in Los Angeles.

Several years ago, Logan introduced the Advisory Board

Service Plan, an organization of top-flight, retired business executives who have been helping small and medium-sized

business with its management problems in Northern Cali-

fornia. The conference luncheon officially launched the ex-

pansion of their activities from Northern California to cover

the entire state.

"The number one problem of small business is management," continued Logan. "A recent study of business fail-

ures by. Dun & Bradstreet showed. that 9l/o were due to

inexperience and bad judgment. This is an unnecessary and shocking economic waste since each failure represents an

average loss of $34,473. In California alone, in 1957, 2,358 businesses failed with liabilities amounting to $86,731,000. This affects not only the individual business and its creditors but the entire community."

"Most businessmen begin their ventures because they

have an interest or skill in one major phase of business, usually sales or production," Logan said. "Yet a business

CompntrI, Ine.

man must be expert in too many things these days: sales, finance, taxes, production, marketing, advertising, administration and many others. He needs help in all these fields and until now has been unable to afford it."

Logan stated that "Small businesses are the hardest ones hit during a readjustment period such as we have been going through now. Most small businesses have never been fhrough a recession, sipce the average tenure of the majority oflmall businesses in this country is between three and five years."

In the past two years, the Logan grouP has fourrd that most businesses required help in the areas of marketing and in revamping their sales policies and programs; cost reduction through elimination of inefficient operation; and thirdlv. financial assistance.

- The Advisory Board, with vast experience in successful management, represents all types, sizes and fields in business and industiy. They will also give help to individuals contemplating a new business venture and, for the first time in historv. offer consultation to trade associations on a group plin. The Board will review a company's financial reports, its methods of operation, and advise the company on how to salvage or rehabilitate its business or on how to attain optimum profits. Working on a part-time basis, costs are spread over a period of time and a company has a better chance to properly assimilate new techniques, methods and systems that may be recommended.

Further information on the activities of this group and its program may be obtained at its headquarters: William B. Log"an & Associates, Inc., 400 Montgomery Street, San Francisco 4.

G-P Srressing Scfely Progrom

Georgia-Pacific Corporation has announced the appointment of a safety director and three new safety engineers in a nrove to strengthen its safety program. Kenneth L. Gipson, formerly of Samoa, California, becomes Safety Director and will coordinate G-P safety programs nationally. He served as safety engineer at its Hammond-California Redwood Division until his new appointment in Portland, Oregon.

Supervisory appointments in plant areas went to William Britton, Logging Safety supervisor (Toledo, Ore. division) ; William Page, Manufacturing Safety supervisor (Coos Bay, Ore. division), and Almon Nlartin, Logging Safety supervisor (Coos Bay, Ore. division).

R,elocation Housing in Flogstoff

How Flagstaff, Arizona, resort and tourist city of about 10,000 persons, annexed some 50 square miles during thb past year to "preclude development of substandard subdivisions," was told when Housing Administrator Albert M. Cole recertified the workable program by which the city has undertaken to eradicate its slums and blight and guide its growth and orderly development.

Flagstaff is the seat of Coconino county about 65 miles northeast of Prescott and is the home of Arizona State College. The Navaio Ordnance Depot is 12 miles .west of the city.

This recertification, which will run until January l, 1960, indicated that Flagstaff has made reasonable progress toward achievement of its long-range objectives for community improvement and remains in good standing for Federal assistance for its renewal and housing projects.

The city has one urban renewal project, known as the South Flagstaff area, in planning stage. It also reported that a tract of 740 acres transferred from the Forest Service will be subject to immediate zoning.

Administrator Cole, in a letter to Mayor Charles J. Saunders, said he hoped that "sufficient relocation housing can be developed so that enforcement of your housing code can be intensified."

In its application for recertification of its workable program for the second year, Flagstaff reported some relief in its shortage of relocation housing with 40 units of low-rent public housing now substantially completed and the certification for Section 221 F}{A mortgage insurance assistance by the Housing Administrator for 125 relocation units of low-cost private housing. The Housing Authority previously had 47 units of low-rent housing under management.

Who's Been Ecting the Redwoods?

No sign of "Big Foot," the mythical, mysterious, mischievous molester of trees, logs and logging camps, has turned up in an annual survey of bear damage in the l{edwood Region. But bears, which show a 2-to-1 preference for young redwoods over Douglas fir, are of more serious concern to foresters than is "Big Foot," a half-man, halfbeast creature reported to have caused considerable collsternation and damage at several Redwood Region logging shows during the past summer.

A study just released by the California Redwood Association reports the extent of damage to young growth on cutover redwood lands during 1957. The rate of bear damage to young growth stands in the Redwood Region increased sliglrtly over that reported in 1956. A total ol 0.16/o of. all conifers on the areas sampled were killed or damaged by bears during 1957. The ratio of killed trees to total trees attacked was 20.5/o, compared to 29/o for 1956, according

to the study, which was made by CRA and Georgia-Pacific foresters.

The study was first undertaken in 1952. A bear trapping program was started in 1954 to limit bear depredation to an economically tolerable level required for sustained-yield forest manag'ement. Since then, the study shows bear depredation in the survey area has decreased from the high of 65,000 trees killed or damaged in 1953, to about 10,000 trees in 1957.

Drqws More fhon 2OO luniber Folk

The fourth annual Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club No. 1 Boss's Nite was another tremendous success, as it always has been in the,past. This year the girls and their bosses converged on Rodger Young auditorium February 9 for an evening-of fun and good-fellowship and a delicious sirloin steak dinner. One thing about the lumber ga.ls, they know what lumbermen like and the steaks were cooked and served iust like you want 'em, to the individual order. More than 200 ctun members, bosses and guests turned out for this big social event of the year sponsored by the Los Angeles Hoo-HooEttes. Invited guests were also bosses of members of the new San Fernando Vallev Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club 6.

Promptly at7:09 p.m. President Jeanne Serviss called the meeting to order by introducing the "Top Bananas" seated at the head table, which included her own executives, Fred Schiel, Dean Jones and Fred Schiel, Jr., of S & S Lumber Company, Downey, California. She - then called on Don Rraley, Snark of Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club 2, to say a few words about the purposes of Hoo-Hoo in general. Don took this occasion to again thank the girls for their splendid support and wonderful help given by all members of the Hoo-Hoo-Ettes in connection with the gala Christmas party for LeRoy Boys' Home youngsters last December. Th-e girls contributed liberally of their time, effort and money to help make this affair a truly successful event and Don iold the girls that Hoo-Hoo Club 2 was truly grateful for their cooperation.

Prominent "Black Cat" Dee Essley led the community sing and the show was on the road. Door prizes were handed out

right and left to "men only"-and they were not only beautiful but practical as well. At least 20 lucky guys could prove they had spent the evening with their "Girl Friday." This part of the program was furnishecl by various lumber firms throughout the Southland area. There was also an entertaining vaudeville bill.

The girls were called upon by Prexy Serviss to introduce their boss and other guests, and in their usual efficient manr.rer this was accomplished in nothing flat. Every Hoo-HooEtte had from one to six guests and all were recognized from the floor.

It requires a lot of hard work to successfully "entertain the Boss" and the members of Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club 1 are commended for the smooth operation of this annual event.

Union Lurnber Porticipoting ln Historic Cosst-to-Cosst 'Golden Arrow' Lumber Trqin

Fort Bragg, Calif., Feb. 26-The Union Lumber Company, western Mendocino county, today completed loading its first car of Noyo redrvood for the "Golden Arrow lumber train," the highballing new industry wood promotion first spurred by eastern firms and The New York Lumber Trade lournal. Union's shipment, schedu\ed to arrive in New York iarly in March, will be traveling aboard this first all-lumber special railroad train ever to make the journey from the west to the east coast.

At latest count, more than 30 lumber mills and dealers are particioating with Union in this historic transportation "first." Conceived just recently as a dramatization of the lumber industry, Ameriian citizens'will watch the "Golden Arrow" highball through their towns and cities carrying enough lumber to-build approximately 480 homes.

It is estirnated that the train's load of more than four million board feet of lumber will be worth more than half-a-million consumer dollars.

To protect its redwood cargo from extreme changes in weather along the "Golden Arrow" route, IJnion Lumber is utilizing a specially developed wrapping of durable polyethelenecoated Kraft paper. This packaging has been produced in a brilliant yellow color 'so that the Noyo brand can be quickly identified by the recipients as California redwood.

Many segments of the lumber industry are cooperating to make this train possible. Railroads have marshaled the necessary flat and boxcars, steel-strapping manufacturers have participated in the banding of easy-to-handle unit loads, and paper manufacturers have provided coverings.

The date of the Golden Arrow's official national departure

tori l,1959

and its cross-country timetable from the east are expected to be scheduled shortly.

The lqw

For this is the law of the jungle, It's as old and as true as the sky, And the wolf that shall keep it will prosper, And the wolf that shall break itmust die; As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, The law runneth forward and back, That the strength of the pack is the wolf, And the strength of the wolf is the pack.

The oration in lull is not attempted here on account of its length, but the lollowing paragraphs well illu,strate the larnous utterance: )

"Riley Grannon was born in Paris, Kentucky, about forty years ago. He died day before yesterday in Rawhide. You have the birth and the period to the grave. Who can fill in the interim? Who can speak of his hopes and fears? Who can solve the mystery of his quiet hours that only himself knew?

"He was born in the sunny Southland, where brooks and rivers iun musically through the luxuriant soil; where the Magnolia Grandiflora like white stars, grow in a firmament of green; where crystal lakes dot the greensward and the softest summer breezes dimple the wave-lips into kisses for the lilies on the shore; where the air is resonant with the warbled melody of a thousand sweet-voiced birds and redolent of the perfume of many flowers. This was the beginning. He died in Rawhide, where in winter the shoulders of the mountains are wrapped in garments of ice, and in summer the blistering sun beats down upon the skeleton ribs of the desert.

"When I see the ambitions of man defeated; when I see him struggling with mind and body in the only legitimate prayer he can make to accomplish some end; when I see his aim and purpose frustrated by a fortuitous combination of circumstances over which he has no control; when I see the outstretched hand just about to grasp the fag of victory, take the emblem of defeat, I ask:'What is Life'? Dreams, awakening, and death; a pendulum twixt a smile and a tear; a momentary halt within the waste, and then the nothing we set out from; a walking shadow; a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more; a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury, signifying nothing; a child-blown bubble that but refects the light and shadow of its environment and is gone; a mockery, a lie, a fool's vision; its happiness but Dead Sea apples; its pain the crunching of a tyrant's heel.

"Did you ever stop and think how God does not put all His sunbeams into corn, potatoes and four? Did you ever notice the prodigality with which He scattdrs these sunbeams over the universe? Contemplate: God fings the auroral beauties round the cold shoulders of the North; hangs the quivering picture of the mirage over the palpitating heart of the desert; scatters the sunbeams' lamelated gold upon the bosoms of myriad lakes that gem the verdant

&n*embe^,,

robe of nature; spangles the canopy of night with starjewels, and silvers the world with the refected beams from Cynthia's mellow face; hangs the gorgeous crimson of the Occident across the sleeping-room of the sun; wakes the coy maid of dawn to step timidly from her boudoir to climb the steps of the Orient, and fling wide the gates of the morning. Then tripping over the landscape, kissing the flowers in her fight, she wakes the birds to herald with their music the coming of her King, who floods the world with refulgent gold. Did you ever stop to think that this old world of ours is constantly swinging into the dawn? Down the groves of time, flung by the hand of God, with every revolution it is dawning somewhere all the time. Let this be an illustration of our hope."

Music?

"Did you ever hear anything quite like it?" cried 16-yearold Daisy Mae at the end of a TV program that featured a trumpet.

Her father said: "No, I never did. Although once I heard something near it. It was a collision between a truckload of empty milk cans and a freight car loaded with live ducks."

Tells of Early Logging

Donald H. Clark, Ph.D., long active in the early days of Hoo-Hoo and prominent in lumber circles and as a historian and writer of the Pacific Northwest, gave a fascinating lecture on old-time logging methods. With nearly 90 slides depicting historical scenes in the great forests of early days, he presenled intimate glimpses of methods used by pioneers in feling the gigantic firs aid cedars and hem"locks and spruces that once covered the slopes and valleys of this region. His talk was a revelation to the youngsters who know only high-speed mechanized equipment and good roads and little of the hardships and hazards

faced by the intrepid lumbermen of by-gone days in getting out the trees the hard way with straining bulls and horses and virile cuss words, and taking them down to the primitive sawmills over skidroads greased with highsmelling dogfish oil !

It is likely that some of the oldtimers present shed a few quiet tears in the darkness of the faculty lounge as _they viewed these nostalgic scenes and heard Don bring them dramaticallv to life with his bril-liant dissertation. '

Baptized by a Cat !

At the conclusion of his remarks. Don flashed a scene on the screen showing a two-months' old baby hold- i1g -a !!g black cat while being bap- tized. He explained that the chitd is the only baby in history who has been christened in the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo ! The baptism was per- formed at Spokane, Washington,- by the official chaplain of the order, Pailon Simpkin. The baby was Don's son, Donald R. Clark.

Vicegerent Snark John Allen, past president of the Seattle club, allnounced that Seattle Hoo-Hoo would hold its first 1959 Concat February 25. Members passed out handsomely printed invitational cards, simulating wedding invitations, which were to bE presented to prospective kittens with the names of sponsors written in. April 25 is scheduled for a dinner dance at the Fort Lawton Officers' Club, it was announced by President lVIarckworth.- Harry O. Mitchell, Secretary.
