YOUR TRADE ASSOCIATION

BY JACK DIONNE

The Trade Association is the sole means by which the industry it serves can become active as a unit in time of need; it is the sole means by which uniform ways of improving business, setting rules, revising gtades-can be achieved; it is the best means by which the coordinated thought of the industry can be expressed; it is the sole means by which the government, in time of stress, can call upon an industry. It is a vital part and parcel oI the industrY.

Without lumber associations, for instance, there would be no lumber industry in the real sense of the word. The man who fails to belong to his rightful associatio,n is neglecting a definite and genuine duty toward his industry, because it is only through the work of the association that the things vital to the well-being of the industry as a whole can be handled; and every man must do his share in the common cause.

The old-fashioned saw said: "God helps those who help themselves." But industry has discovered the broader, better

philosophy that "God helps those who help each other." The understanding that the well-being of the whole is paramount to that of the individual, and that the intelligent community interest really brings bigger and better returns than specific self-interest, is what the Association idea consists of.

Association Conventions have become of great and real importance. Men get together not only for the purpose of goodfellowship but for exchanging IDEAS, understanding that the things that have helped or hurt the other fellow can help or hurt YOU.

So they get together at Conventions and carry home thoughts and ideas and plans and suggestions that. they can use for themselves. This cooperative spirit is the redeeming spirit of this age.

The green fir market, which exploded like a rocket the end of February and was still orbiting at a new level in the period ending March 6, found mills keeping order files small in expectation of further increases, reports Crow's Lumber Market News Service. K-D fir was also in a good position. Utility was scarce, both green and dry, and Economy was showing surprising strength. The Pine region woods took ofi at the same time and were on the rising trend.

Next month is again Lumber-Dealer Convention time in California, and the two trade associations will once more extend themselves this April of 1959 to provide their retail members with the most mentally stimulating and economically helpful programs that can possibly be oLtained

The Southern California Retail Lumber Association meets first again, with the lg59 Convention dates set for April 7, 8 and 9 at the Ambassador hotel in Los Angeles. The Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California will again convene in beautiful Yosemite National Park, at the fabulous old Ahwahnee hotel, on the dates of April 19, 20 and 2L.

A review of the two dealer associations' every-day beneftts to their membership and a preliminary glance at next montht 1959 Convention programs are reported on these and following pages:

The 42nd SCRTA Annuol Promises to Be Full of 'Surprises'

President Hal Brown and Executive Vice-President Orrie Hamilton were busy "signing up" their speakers at press time for the outstanding program the directors of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association are planning for the 42nd annual Convention and Trade Show at the Ambassador hotel, Los Angeles, April 7-9, and the complete program is expected to be ready for publication in the next issue. But there will be some swell surprises in store for the convention-goers this year, too, it is promised.

Several program highlights of the recent successful NRLDA Exposition in Chicago are going to be adapted for the entertainment and instruction of the local delegates, and some of the usual features of past SCRLA annuals are being streamlined and enlarged this year for greater enjoyment and audience participation.

For instance, the annual "Olcl-Timers Breakfast" will this year be expanded to honor every lumberman in Southern California (both active and retired) who has served as a lumber or allied products dealer, jobber, wholesaler or producer for at least 40 years. This event is down for Wednesday morning, April 8, and Orrie Hamilton's office (MAdison 3-6108) will welcome your suggestions of "old-timers" so that none is overlooked on the SCRLA's "F{onor Roll."

The annual Hoo-Hoo and Hoo-Hoo-Ette luncheon is set for Thursday noon, April 9, and anyone who's ever attended knows the Blue Book models get better looking every year and, this year, they'Il be back in current fashions that bring out a girl's best points.

The annual Banquet is \\rednesday evening, April 8, with some "fabulous" entertainment, and the very popular Dinner-dance winds up the convention Thursday night, with a popular spot to be selected.

Growing in popularity each year is the Convention's

"Open House," which takes place the first evening of the big show. The SCRLA is going all-out this year to make the Tuesday evening affair, AprilT, the most outstanding it has ever been. There is no charge for this friendly, informative get-together of dealers, suppliers, architects and designers-it's all on the house, with a "personal preview" for everyone of the outstanding New Products and applications in the big Trade Show, plenty of free refreshments for all, some superb, bigtime entertainment yours for the seeing and hearing, and the drawings for the wonderful attendance pnzes.

THE ASSOCIATION SENSE

BY JACK DIONNE

It has often been said that one great difference between men and monkeys is that men c:rn and do profit by the experience of others, while monkeys do not.

In Borneo, the natives capture monkeys by a simple device. They cut the tops off of cocoanuts, put a slip knot with a trigger on it over the top of the hole, and in the cavity they place an edible of which monkeys are very fond. Soon a monkey thrusts his paw in the hole, the trigger springs, and the monkey is caught by the wrist. Then what happens? He cries loudly and the other monkeys gather to see what's bothering him. Seeing his predicament, others stick their fists in the holes in other cocoanuts placed nearby. They just have to find out what made the first monkey holler. And they dejust as he didl

Now if those monkeys had possessed the Associatio,n sense, that couldn't have happened.

Each businessman works out his own business problems, has his own experiences-bitter and sweet, and they are filed in his memory and in his books Each other man does the same thing. To each corne experienceq ideas, thoughts that probably come to no other. Separately, his experiences help only himself,

But collectively they help all those who join in cooperative and association work. The experience of each member becomes the pro'perty of them all. One merchant would have to live long to get all the experiences he can get by belonging to an association of his own trade. Then the experience of all becomes the experience of each. By belonging to an association of 100 men, his experience is the experience of 100. For that is the Association idea.. . the cooperative idea.

It shows the difierence between men and monkeys in one particular at least. Men can profit by the experiences of others" Monkeys do not.

Freight Bill Auditing-not many of us are traffic specialists nor do we have time to minutely examine freight bills. Your Association has made arrang'ements for the review of your freight bills-there is absolutely no charge if an overcharge refund is not in order. Another area for reduction of operating costs.

Solr River Volley Hoo-Hoo Turn Out for Teqrn Tournqment

Salt River Valley Hoo-Hoo Cltb 72, Phoenix, Arizorra, gct together at Mesa Country Club, February 17, for its A & B Best Ball (2-men-best-ball) Team Tournament. The tee-off was at Noon with draw for partners or-r the first tee. Hoo-Hoo members got the full Hoo-Hoo handicap; guests got tl-re full club handicap. Five prizes of golf balls were awarded, and four balls were awarded each team closest to the green on all three par holes. A "Calcutta" was held and l)oyle Sewell served as Sheriff-for-the-Day.

Dinner was served at6:29, with another splendid program arranged. Allen Thum was in charge of the program, reports President Aram Mardian. John Bulla was the speaker of the evening and the well-known golf pro put on a good show.

Left to right around the table: James C. O'Malley, vice-president and general manager cf yards, O'Malley Lumber Co.; Loren Pedrick, manager, Farmers Lumber & Supply Co.; Martin Combs, manager, O'Malley Lumber Co., Buckeye, Ariz.; Bill Knick, Devoe Paint Co.; Walter Howard, ARL&BSA; L. G. Olds, Devoe Paint; John G. O'Malley, president and general manager, Mallco Distributcrs, Phoenix; E. C. Bishop, Devoe Paint:

Bulla explained to the golfers what happens when you hit a golf ball with a wood driver. It seems that the ball, being rubber, distorts and recovers its original shape when hit by a driver made of persimmon wood (it says here) in the same period of time that the persimmon wood recovers, so that the maximum impact is transmitted to the ball. And that's why nearly all of the better drivers are made of persimmon wood heads (news to us). None of the laminated wood clubs or other materials equal these, according to Pro Bulla who, report the ardent golfers here, is one of tl-re best in the business.

No one seems to know the origin of the superstitious belief that 13 is an unlucky number. Yet there are millions of people who do hold that belief, and practice it.

{<**

Many hotels omit 13 entirely in the numbering of their floors. Many people could not be hired to sit at a table with 12 others. The thing is too well known to need debate.

**r.<

And yet when it comes to logic rather than superstition, it seems to be the very opposite. Consider:

*d<*

The very history of civilization is founded on two 13 numbers from the Bible. The Bible is divided into two books. the Old and the New Testaments.

*{<*

The Old Testament is the history of the Children of Israel. And Israel had 13 children, 12 boys and one girl.

,.. * {.

The New Testament is the history of Christianity. And Christianity was founded by twelve men, a certain itinerant preacher named Jesus, and his twelve disciples. Thirteen in all. ***

Take our own country's history. Here the number 13 played a most prominent part. First, there were 13 colonies; the first American flag had 13 stars and stripes. ***

Our first war for freedom was called the "revolutionary" war. And "revolutionary" has 13 letters. Our motto, "E Pluribus lJnum," is made up of 13 letters. So is "American Eagle." *

Commodore Perry's great naval victory was won on September 13. John Paul Jones was 13 years old when he came to this country, and there are 13 letters in his name. He carried the fag with its 13 stars to glorious victory, and there were 13 vessels in the first fleet of the American government' * * *

This kind of argument could go on indefinitely, seeming to show 13 to be a very lucky rather than unlucky number. t<*{<

Nothing on earth can smile but man. Gems may flash reflected light, but what is a diamond flash compared with an eye fash, and mirth flash? Flowers cannot smile. This is a charm that even they cannot claim. It is the prerogative of man. It is the color which love wears, and cheerfulness, and joy . . . these ant"u. * * *

It is the light in the windows of the face by which the heart signals that it is at home and waiting. Laughter is day, and sobriety is night, and a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both-more bewitching than either. (Anon.)

BY JACK DIONNE

Someone has said: "America is the land of opportunity, where they lock up the jury and turn the defendant loose. The average man yells for the government to balance the budget, and then wants to borrow five bucks until payday. It is dangerous to drive a car with one hand; many a man has run into a church that way. When a woman lowers her voice it is a sign she wants something; when she raises it, it is a sign she didn't get it." ***

Thomas Drier said: "We know our neighbor's God is a good God, because goodness, generosity, thoughtfulness, and helpfulness are the effortless expressions of this neighbor in his moment-to-mornent living. Every man is his God's living advertisement."

George Washington ,lru,1'or*"ll the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness."

FHA insurance endorsement, which in the past have been performed in the FHA insuring offices, will now be carried out by local lending institutions using appraisers and construction inspectors employed on a fee basis.

"Qualified lending institutions, which are FHA Approved Mortgagees, will be designated as Authorized Agents of the Federal Housing Commissioner upon application to and approval by local FHA insuring ofhce directors. Lenders not presently listed as Approved Mortgagees may make application to their local FHA office. Fee appraisers and construction inspectors must be certified also by the local FHA office.

"Authorized lending institutions will be empowered to accept applications for insured mortgage loans on single- family units, both for proposed construction and existing dwellings eligible under Section 203 of the National Housing Act.

"The lendbr will arrange for an appraiser designated by FHA to appraise the property and will perform the credit analysis. After the lending institution reviews the credit of the borrower and the appraisal report, they will issue a commitment for a loan in accordance u'ith the provisions of the National Housing Act.

"The appraiser in reviewing the plans and specifications for proposed construction will be responsible {or ascertaining that the property meets with minimum FHA requiremeuts. On proposed construction the Autl-rorized Agent will also arrange for periodic inspections to be made during coustruction. He will use fee construction inspectors, ap- proved by FHA. After construction is completed and the loan is closed, the Agent will complete the closing functions and forward all documents to the local FHA insuring office for insurance endorsement.

"The key-point of the program is that the entire transaction will be completed at the HOME-TOWN LtrVELall personnel involved will have been qualified by FHA and will act in accordance with FHA standards. However. thev will have sufficient flexibility to enable them to apply thesi criteria to reflect local conditions. Delays in processirrg are substantially reduced through the CAP program and maximum value is derived from standards applied in accordance with sound local judgment-a problem which heretofore has slowed financing and construction in outlying areas. FHA believes this program will stimulate financing and building in these areas -because the lender can compietely process the FHA insured loan in a matter of days rather than waiting for weeks until the local office would have an appraiser in the area."

Meetings to further discuss the impact and importance of the CAP program rvill be held in the following areas on the dates announced and all members of the industry are cordiallv invited to attend.

L.A. Hoo-Hoo Advisory Committee Sets Future Policy for '59

_Don Braley, Snark of Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club 2, and l2 members of his Advisory committee met at General Lee's restaurant February 24 to schedule social events for the balance of the fiscal year and to establish and change certain policies of the fraternal organization.

^

As usual, the Los Angeles 1lub will participate in the Southern California Retail Lumber Association ^conclave at the Ambassador hotel, April 7 to 9. Thursday luncl-reon. April 9, will be Hoo-Hoo day at the conveniion and ali members are asked to make iheir plans to be oresent at this special event. Hoo-Hoo will honor members oi SCnln and,_in turn, shall be l-ronored by having this day designated as Hoo-Hoo day. Many Hoo-Hoo-Etles will- also lttend this special afrair.

The committee has agreed to continue golf tournaments and, meetings throughout the Summer months this year. Irollowing the convention in April, a Spring dance has'been schedulecl for May 15. On Jurie 5 a CbncJtenation will be held and, on that date, the club membership will honor outstanding members for their past performance in club affairs. This will be known as "Awards Nite," it was said. Other events will be "Las Vegas Nite," on July 17, and a golf tournament on August 21, rvhich will intlude election of officers for the 1959-1960 term.

It was also agreed, due to the fact that club officials must be advised at an early date, to hold the annual Christmas party at Oakmont Country Club in Glendale on December 11. This will include a full day of golf and sports, cocktail party and banquet, with top-drawer entertainment in the evenlng.

"I believe lve have enough interest in Hoo-Hoo to hold nrouthly meetings the year 'round. I see no reason why our fraternity should have two dark months each year when tnost of the membership is interested in golfing and summer sports," said Snark Don Braley. The committee agreed with the heaclman and it was decided to try it out during the surlmer of 1959. By your attendance, you will confirm this arrangement, which has been made iust for you members.

Sitting in on the roundtable disiussions,-which lasted for hours, were Tom Burden, Bill Smith, Chuck Lember. Harold Cole, Ole May, John Osgood, George Clough, Rex Oxforl, Harvey Koll, Don Bufkin, Freeman Camp6ell and Rex Wells.

,Snark Braley asked all members of the Steering committee to work on new members and reinstatementl from now until June 5. All Kittens will be inducted on that date ancl applications must be in the hands of Freeman Camp- bell, secretary-treasurer, not later than fune 3. Membeis rvho have Kittens to be initiated at the summer Concatenation should contact John Osgood, Chuck Lember or Bill Smith for proper information.

It is requested that all "Black Cats" lend an ear to this plea.ald_help_make the Concat successful in every way possible. Rex Oxford is the chairman of this division of new members and initiation.

Here's How Blqckstock's Seqttle Yord Tied Up With Stoin Supplier to Put Over 'Demonstrotion Doy'

One of the best recent examDles of modern retail lumberyard merchandising between ihe yard and its suppliers is the classic case of the "Demonstration Day" put on by the H. W. Blackstock Lumber Co., Seattle, and Olympic Stained Products Co., Seattle. The first such show was such a success that plans were immediately made to carry out a similar program with other lumberyards, said officials of Olympic.

Herbert W. Blackstock, head of the retail firm, was elected president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Assn. for 1959 at the recent covention and exposition in Chicago after having served as secretary, then vice-president, of the national dealer group the past several years. Mr. Blackstock is also a past president of the Western Retail Lumbermen's Assn., Seattle. He gave a full report of his yard's "Demonstration Day" to his fellow officers of the National so that other dealers throughout the country could take advantage of this approach to the do-it-yourself market.

The Demonstration Day was held on a mid-summer Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.^., so that the retail yard could

catch the five-day workers and also the 5ft-day-a-week trade. Customers were invited through newspaper advertising in the district in which the Blackstock yard is located, and through direct mail by selecting areas within the district which are predominantly older homes and/or predominantly private new home construction.

The craftsmen who put on the demonstrations were independent contractors who normally work with Blackstock Lumber Co., and they were paid union scale for the time involved. In addition, they were given the opportunity to solicit or accept business during the demonstration.

The Olympic Stained Products Co. found this a new approach to marketing its products, in cooperation with key lumber dealers on a test-market basis. The series of do-ityourself exhibitions centered around the uses and applications of Olympic's products.

"We found the most important thing to the do-ityourself trade is knowing how to do the job right," said Olympic Stain officials. "Consequently, we developed this 'Demonstration Day' theme and showing of our products, their applications and uses, to teach the proper way to do the common repair and modernization jobs around the home."

h-r addition to Olympic Stained Products Co., which was co-sDonsor of the show with the H. W. Blackstock Lumber Co.,- there were more than a dozen other non-competitive suppliers in the show with their products on display.

The Demonstration Day'was designed around the general theme of a trade show, with booths of product displays along a freeway in the yard, and skilled craftsmen doing the actual demonstrating on common jobs around the home. They explained the products on display, and their uses, as tliey applied their skills to them.

Tl-re sl.rorv was an outstanding success. More than 250 people braved a Pacific Nortl.rwest drizzle to attend. But the thing tl.rat made it mainly outstanding, according to Dealer Herb Blackstock, president of the firm, was the fact that the folks attendiug were more than window-shoppers. The demonstrations and the fact that they were encouraged to ask ouestions about the oroducts and their uses made them buyers and planners.

"Don't think that everyone attending bought something," said the dealer. "In fact, we did not solicit any sales at the yard that day at all. However, between the fact that we were kept busy writing orders all day, coupled with the many deferred orders taken and the many additional jobs those attending planned before the end of the demonstrations, we did have the best day we had enjoyed since opening in this location."

The followup sales were exceptional. At the end of three u'eeks the Blackstock vard reoorted an additional six or

The promotion of the event was handled by Olympic Stain's advertising agency and concentrated in newspaper clisplay space.

"Two aclditional factors which we consider very important to tl.re success of 'Demonstration Day' are the trend to the use of rougl-r-surfaced woods for siding, and the high popularity of soft, western colors in modern construction and modernization jobs," said an Olympic Stain executive. "Auother strong point in staging a show like this is having specialists do the demonstrating and explain the applications, because their word is definitely accepted as authority."

tMA Suggesrs Write or Wire Your Representqfive on Housing Bill

San Francisco, Calif.-"Housing Bill Sounds Good But It Costs Too lVluch," a Feb. 24 Legislation Report of the Lumber Merchants Assn. of Northern California reports to its members. "A $2.6 Billion housing bill has passed the Senate and the House Banking and Currency committee will begin consideration of housing legislation the week of Feb. 23." the report continues.

There are certain desirable and necessarv orovisions in the Rains Bill, including increased authority to continue the FHA Mortgage Insurance program and the Title I Home Improvement Loan Insurance program, says the LMA report. These programs are self-supporting. Congress will not turn these down regardless of the action in the general housing bill. The main objections to the Rains Bill, it continues. are the provisions for increased federal funds for

Urban Renerval, College Housing, Public Housing and a new direct government loan program for housing for the eJderly which, if approved by Congress, would force federal spending beyond the budget for 1960.

Suggested action, the LMA tells its dealers members, is to u'rite or wire your member of the l{ouse of Representatives (not your senator) urging him to vote against HR 2357 (the Rains Housing Bill) unless amended to reduce federal funds for the items listed above consistent with a balanced budget, and to vote for the elimination from the bill of proposed new direct lending program for housing. Emphasize the need to hold the line at this time on all federal spending programs which can be postponed or contined on a reduced basis in order to hold down inflation and to work toward a balanced budget for fiscal 1960.

"Benefits to the operator of a dry kiln are obvious," says :. I. Hall. Laboratorv director. "But. in addition. a ry "But, addition, a sound knowledge of the inter-relationships of moisture and wood is of benefit to every user or handler of wood products. Each needs to know what he can expect of properly dried wood, how it is achieved. and how it can be maintained at the desired moisture content."

Engineers, architects, lumber dealers, woodworking specialists, and some supervisory personnel in the seasoning field have attended demonstrations down through the years.

"More and more companies are realizing thai proper seasoning is of basic importance in wood use, and can mean the difference between profit and loss," comments Dr. Hall.

Subjects to be covered during the demonstration include the basic principles of air and kiln drying of wood, types of dry kilns, kiln equipment, drying schedules, operation and tuneup of kilns, and moisture control during storage and production. All this information can help plants reduce defects and costs.

In addition to the general instruction, the men enrolled will dry charges of lumber in Laboratory kilns under the supervision of six Laboratory specialists. Considerable time will be allowed for participants to discuss tl-reir individual seasoning problems with members of the Laboratory staff.

Cooperative fee for the 2-week demonstration is $250 per man to cover the Laboratory expenses, and includes materials and publications. Each firm may enroll as many representatives as it wishes. An indication tl-rat companies feel the demonstration is worthwhile is that half of last year's group came from firms that had sent representatives in prevlotls vears.

The inside eclge of the rim is given a 10" bevel to prevent collection of dirt and dust.

The top can be left its natural color and either waxe<l or varnished, or it can be painted to match the decor of the room. The one shown in the picture, which appeared with a story in Popular Mechanics, was primed and finished with textured oaint.

NEW FLOORING INSTALLATION GUIDE BY TILE-TEX

A handy wall chart showing the proper installation of all Tile-Tex products has just been released by the Tile-Tex Division of The Flintkote Company to simplify selection of the proper adhesive for each type of flooring tile produced by the company.

Bob Dilworth won the low handicap bracket. 8l-12-2-71. arrd Walder Pruessing won the high bracket,gl-77-74.The penalty strokes helped distribute the prizes this time, as Pierce, Huck and Bohnhoff had lower scores than Pruessing without the penalty strokes. Fleming beat Wall for last month's prize, also because of penalty strokes.

Guests included Bill Marmion, San Gabriel Valley Lumber Co.; Al Clark, general contractor; Emil Lug and Adolph Warvarovsky, L. A. Millwork Co.; J. Oldham, U.S. Gypsum Co., and Roy Stanton, who was a guest of Essley.

Maule, Marmion and Fields made their appearances as "candidates," but "Bud" Pozzo couldn't make it at the last minute. These three will be Terribles next month if no one objects and if they pay their dues, cash on the barrelhead.

"Bud" Taylor was our guest of the day and he brought some color movies of the International Golf Tournament held at the ancient and honorable St. Andrews in Scotland.

New Minimum Woge Bill

Washington, D.C.-Senator Kennedy (D-Mass.), Sen. Morse (D-Ore.) and Rep. Roosevelt (D-Calif.) last month offered bills to increase the federal minimum wage from $1 to $1.25 an hour and extend coverag'e to retail and service trade workers, a major goal of organized labor. The measures would do away with the present exemption of l2-man logging and forestry operations, reports the National Lumber Manufacturers Assn.

Sponsors of the legislation estimated it would bring under the federal minimum wage statute some 7.6 million workers not now covered. Sen. Goldwater (Ariz.), senior Republican on the Senate Labor subcommittee to whicl-r the legislation was referred, promptly announced he will oppose the measures. In a related development, Sen. NIcNamara (D-Mich.) introduced a bill to extend coveraq'e of the minimum lvag'e law to farm laborers.

RisingCosts Hold Down Weyerhqeuser 195 8 Income

Rising costs of operation and a dip in sales in 1958 caused net income of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company to decline 7.lc/o from 1957. it is announced in the firm's annual report.

Sales of lumber, plywood, pulp, paper and other timber products amounted to $410,360,000-down 2.4/o from the previous year. Net income was $49,615,000 in 1958, compared with $53,425,000 in 1957. Wages, salaries, pensions and employee benefits reached 9116,596,000 in 1958, up $65,000 lrom 1957. Some 270 new jobs were created during the year.

Taxes paid by the company to local, state and federal governments rose to $45,7,10,000-up $404,000 from the 1957 ngure.

President F. K. Weyerhaeuser told the timber company's 10,500 shareholders that improvement in the rate of housing starts last spring brought an upturn in lumber sales which is expected to continue strongly into 1959.

The quantity of lumber sold was 3.5/o above 7957, but dollar sales were significantly influenced by the decline in prices which began in 1956 and continued into the spring of 1958. At the low point, average price realization had declined approximately 20% from the 1956 high.

The company produced enough lumber in 1958 to build abont 125,000 average-sized homes. But lumber sales of $156,524,000 represenl less than 4/o of the nation's prodrrction. according to the report.

Plywood sales increased by 3.2/o over 1957 to reach a rlew company record of $17,225,000.

Construction of a new sheathing grade plywood mill was begun .at the Snoqualmie Falls, Wash., plant site. P1al1t expansion was completed at the Ply-Veneer mill, Springfielcl, Ore., arrd the chemical plant on the Longvie*, Wotli, integrated mill site.

1-o assure a continuing supply of raw material for its mills, the company spent a total of $14,535,000 in 1958 for tinrber and timberlands.

_ Atternpts of company foresters to speed up the tirne between loggirrg and reforestation resulted in the hancl planting of six ar.rd or.re-half million seedlings and the seecling by helicopter of 11,500 acres in the Paiific Northrvest.

Ingersoll clt the Tomb of Nopoleon

By R. G. Ingersoll

A little while ago I stood by the grave of the old Napoleon-a magnificent tomb of gilt and gold fit almost for a dead deity-and gazed upon the sarcophagus of rare and nameless marble, where rest at last the ashes of that restless man.

I leaned over the balustrade and thought about the career of that greatest soldier of the modern...world. I saw him walking on the banks of the Seine, contemplating suicide. f saw him at Toulon-I saw him putting down the mob in the streets rjf Paris-I saw him at the head of the army of Italy-I saw him crossing the bridge of Lodi with the tricolor in his hand-I saw him in Egypt in the shadows of the pyramids-I saw him conquer the Alps and mingle the eagles of France with the eagles of the crags.

I saw him at Marengo, at Ulm, at Austerlitz. I saw him in Russia, where the infantry of the snow and the cavalry of the wind blast scattered his legions like winter's withered leaves. I saw him at Leipsic, in defeat and disaster, driven by a million bayonets back upon Paris, clutched like a wild beast-banished to Elba. I saw him escape and retake an empire by the force of his genius. I saw him upon the frightful field of Waterloo, where Chance and Fate combined to wreck the fortunes of their former king. And I saw him at St. Helena, with his hands crossed behind him, gazing out upon the sad and solemn sea.

And I thought of the orphans he had made, of the tears that had been shed for his glory, and of the only women who ever loved him pushed from his heart by the cold hand of ambition. And I said I would rather have been a French peasant and worn wooden shoes; I would rather have lived in a hut with a vine growing over the door and the grapes growing purple in the kisses of the autumn sun. I would rather have been that poor peasant with my loving wife by my side, knitting as the day died out of the sky-with my children upon my knees and their arms about me-I would rather have been that poor peasant and gone down to the tongueless silence of the dreamless dust, than to have been that imperial impersonation of fdrce and murder known as "Napoleon the Great."

Compensotion

When my luck seems all out' And I'm down in the mouth. When I'm stuck in the North And I want to go South; When the world seems a blank And there's no one I love And it seems even God's Not in Ffeaven above; I've a cure for my grouch And it works like a shotI just think of things I'm glad I am not:

A bird in a cage, A fish in a bowl, A pig in a pen, A fox in a hole. A bear in a pit, A wolf in a trap, A fowl on a spit, A rug on a lap, A horse in a stable, A cow in a shed. A plate on a table, A sheet on a bed, A case on a pillow, A bell on a door, A branch on a willow. A mat on a foor.

When I think of the hundreds Of things I might be, I get down on my knees And thank God I am me. Then my blues disappear, When I think what I've got, And soon I've forgotten The things I have not.

Yes, Indeed!

It can be vertically grooved at any spacing on a two-inch modular, r'egular or randonr, and with the choice of random or channel grooving. All panels have a smooth, sanded finish. Standard panel size is 4'x8'. Shiplap joints do not show and panel interlocking produces a continuous pattern effect.

Par-TEX takes paint without checking or it can be stained or finished clear in beautiful natural tones. Like standard Par-TEX panels, Par-TEX III-D cuts down or.r labor costs during construction because 32'square panels cover walls rarpidly. Par-TEX is free of knot holes, has no othcr blemishes. Made ol 100/o waterproof phenolic glue, Par-TEX won't break down under extreme conditions of heat and humidity. It has great structural strength ancl dimensional stability, it is said. Can be applied directly over studs to form a combination siding-sheathirrg. For further information, write Pacqua, Inc., P.O. Box 78, Dillard, Oregon.

A Tree Farm is an arca of taxpaying timberland dedicated to the growing of repeated timber croos.

A new truck named the "Lift-Dek" is announced by the Fox Body Co. of Janesville, Wis. The "Lift-Dek" is specifically designed f or hauling lun-rber and similar loads in bundled or palletized units. In this design, Fox Body Co. claim they have eliminated the two big objections that haulers have voiced about other trucks ,built f or this purpose. Operators told Fox that the platform height of old style trucks was so high that usefulness was minimized and loading difficult. They also objected to dropping loads from this height because of damage occuring to the product in the unloading process. Advanced structural engineering lowered the "Lift-Dek" platform as much as 14 inches below other platform trucks. Further, Fox, has incorporated a special lift between the frame members of the truck to tilt the platform to within 4" of the ground so that loads are slid off to the ground without damage.

NEW ALUMINUM SAFETY-STEP LADDERS FOLD FOR COMPACT STORAGE

Another new and outstanrliug feature of the "Lift-Dek" incorporates corrugations in the platform bed to allow lift truck loading lvith no pallets or blocking necessary. Because of these corrugatiot.rs a lift truck operator is able to load the truck platform without help and without leaving his n-raclrine. The rear of tltese corrugations are specifically designed to permit free dumping of ali types of loads without damaging the lrroduct or metal banding striPs.

The "Lift-Dek" also features a half-cab to pernrit 24 ft. long iumber to be carried beside the cab. Full 16 ft. lumber can be carried behind tlie cab. Other f eatures include: extra space in the half-cab to carry a helper for special unloading, compartments for carrying small parcels, unique platform engineering which 'permits hauling split loads for dun-rping at different destinations, pressure control of the rear rplatform in all stages of dunrping, and an intentionally different styling that results in advertising to the user.

.NU RUF'COATING CAN BE SPRAYED ON

A ncw roof coating, durable, economical ancl easy-to-apply, is being nrarketed nation-wide under the trarle name of Nu Ruf. A dry, white, powdered material containing cement, plastics and other weather-resistant materials, Nu Ruf is 'packaged in 57-pound bags. It is mixed with water at the site, in a proportion of five gallons of water for each bag, can be sprayed or "broomed" on at minimum cost for labor, holding loose granules in place and protecting underlying water-proofing material. It can be used on built-up roofs of any color or on composition shingle roofs, new or old.

Vincent E. Smith, vice-president of TherMo Roof, Inc. of Houston, manufacturers of Nu Ruf, said that he expects Nu Ruf to have a large market in the maintenance of existing roofs, e.ren those which are beginning to deteriorate. The product, which carries a tw'o-year manufacturer's guarantee, was developed at the request of Ther-Mo Roof's own national network of roofing contractors. Distributors and sales representatives are wanted to meet a growing nation-wide dernald for an improved roof coating.

New Stqndqrd Being Considered For Horizontql Sliding Windows

Producers, distributors and others associated with the building industry are considering a Recommended Commercial Standard designed to provide nationally recognized specifications for Horizontal Sliding Wood Window Units, according to the Commodity Standards Division, U.S. Department of Commerce.

The new standard will establish minimum requirements fo1 _fhe materials, construction, assembly, grading, and labeling of this popular new type of window. It covErs the construction of the window and frame, weatherstripping, storm sash, and screens, and their assembly into a comple.tely prefabricated window unit. All wood parts are required to be treated to resist warping, swelling, shrinking, and fungus attack, and the window units must withstand an air leakage test. Trade terminology is also definecl.

The proposal was originally requested by the National Woodwork Manufacturers Association and the American Wood Window Institute Division of Ponderosa Pine Woodwork. It is being widely circulated for consideration arrd written acceptance so that it may be established witl-r the voluntary endorsement of the trade.

Wherr promulgated, the standard will be usable as a marketing guide for buyers and sellers, and provide for identifying products that meet the standard by the use of labels, invoices, certificates, and the like.

A limited number of copies of the Recommended Commercial Standard for Hofizontal Slidins Wood Window Units, TS-5417A, are available without c-ost from Wm. H. Furcolow, Commodity Standards Division, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington 25, D.C.

New Controctor Group Frcrmework

F'ormation of five nearly autonomous associations within the framework of the Building Contractors Assn. of California is underway, according to John H. Kuhl, the recently installed BCA president. The new structure for the oldest and largest regional association of builders in the U.S. began as an experiment with the formation in 1956 of councils for home builders, commercial-industrial builders, remodeling contractors, school builders and framing contractors.

Each of the five groups will have its own legislative and public relations programs, its own staff, and function independently in its specialized field. Common problems will still be met by the five councils and 15 area chapters of the BCA. Kuhl said. Plans and structure of the new framelr'ork were approved at the recent 35th anniversary Congress at the Ambassador hotel, Los Angeles.

Increased activity on municipal building codes and zoning will be undertaken by all BCA chapters following meetings 'ivith 36 key building ofifrcials of the four counties in which the BCA is active. "For 35 years BCA chapters throughout the Southland have worked closely with city and county building departments to develop sound regulations for construction and land use," Kuhl said. "This will continue to be the most important contribution made by this association to the people of Southern California."

Forty years on the job is enough to retire most men-ancl mlterials. But a-redwood watertank in Milwaukee, Wis., is heacling for a new line of work after 42 yeats on the railroacl (Chicigo ancl North Western Railway Company)'

The 70,000-gallon California redwood tank, erec-ted -in 1917 to servic"e steam engines, has been dismantled by Nladison Landscape Architect Homer Fieldhouse, who will cut it horizontally into sections for re-use as retainer walls for three plastic lirred swimming pools.

Fieldhouse explained that the job was undertaken "because the tauk was of fiue redwood, still in good shape'" E,ach pool section cut from the tank is 30 feet in diameter, arrcl about six feet high. The tank was constructed ol 2linch thick tongue-and-groove redrvoocl staves.

Stsndqrds of Prqctice Recommended For Acousficql Mcrteriqls Industry

Manufacturers, distributors, users, and others associated with the acoustical materials industry are considering a proposed Simplified Practice Recommendation intended to eliminate avoidable r.vaste in production, distribution, aud stocking of acoustical products, according to the Commodity Standards Division, U.S. Department of Commerce. The recommendation covers standard stock sizes, thicknesses, and edge treatments for nine types of acoustical tile and board.

As described in the recommendation, a major probler-n now exists, in that each time a new thickness, size, or edge treatment of prefabricated acoustical material is introduced, competitors feel obliged to match the innovation with a similar product. This has resulted in superfluous variations which 6ave increased production costs, necessitated additional warehouse space, and added to service difficulties.

The Commodity Standards Division was requestecl by the Acoustical Materials Association to cooDerate with tl-re industry in establishing the recommendation. Copies of the proposed Recommendation are available on request fronr E. J. McCamley, Commodity Standards Division, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington 25, D.C.

Deolers Vote 4 to I in Fqvor of Weekend Opening for 1959 NRTDA Exposition in Clevelond

Building materials dealers who got a chance to test the convenience factors of weekend conventioning at their annual National Exposition last November have since had an opportunity to air their opinions of the idea. In replies to a survey of registered dealer attendance following the 1958 Exposition of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association in Chicago, dealers have given a four-to-one preference to weekend opening of the Association's 6th annual Building Products Exposition to be held in Cleveland this November, says H. R. Northup, NRLDA executive vicepresident.

"In accordance with this overwhelming preference, the dates of the 1959 NRLDA Exposition have been set for Saturday, November 14, through Tuesday, November 17," Mr. Northup announced. He added that dealer comments indicate that the heavy vote in favor of a weekend opening is due to the fact that Saturday or Sunday are considered more convenient for attendance bv emploves as well as bv the dealers themselves. Nearly one-hali of the dealers who replied indicated that one or more of their employes were able to attend the NRLDA Exposition in Chicago.

Dealers also expressed a 9-to-1 preference for November over December as the time for their National Exposition, witl-r the first half of November being most generally f.avored, and 2-to-1 prefer changing or alternating locations for the show each year as opposed to a permanent location.

The same survey revealed that nearly 9 out of 10 dealers at the NRLDA Exposition make purchases as a result of their attendance and that they buy for an average of more than 2l yards per dealer. Two-thirds of the dealers represented single-yard ownership and the other third represented from two to seventy retail outlets with an averagi of six yards per dealer in the multiple ownership group.

Dealers were also given an opportunity to vote on the type of program they prefer for the Expositiorr in Cleveland and their preferences will guide the Committee in its selection of program material for the 1959 show, Mr. Northup stated.

Frank Heard on Exposition Committee

Frank Heard, partner in the Motroni-Heard Lumber Co., Woodlancl, Calif., and vice-president of the Lumber Mer-

chants Assn. of Northern California, has been appointed to the 1959 Exposition committee of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Assn., Washington, D.C., and attended a two-day meeting of the committee, March 6-7, in Cleveland, Ohio, where this year's big lumber dealer show will be stased.

Dwelling Units Construction for January

The western light construction market entered 1959 bullish. January .totals compiled by Western Building show total building permits $84 million ahead of a year ago and dwelling permit valuation out in front by nearly $53 million.

Dwelling units are especially strong, with total permits up 27Vo, valuation up 33/o. Surveys of 344 areas for dwelling permits show these totals: Up from 15,809 to 2Q258 and valuation up from $158,094,700 to $210,530,878.

Dwelling totals are particularly strong, nearly doubling year-ago totals, in Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico and Oregon. California, the major Western market, continues the pickup started in mid-1958.

to preliminary estimates prepared jointly by the U.S. Deoartments of Labor and Commerce. For the first two months of 1959, expenditures totaled more than $7.1 billion -an alltime high for the January-February period.

Private spending for new construction in January and February was up 9/o this year from 1958 to a record $5.1 billion, primarily because ol a 30/o expansion in outlays for rrew dwelling units (to $2.2 billion).

Lumber Grodes Accepfed

Erik Flamer, who is doing an excellent job of getting acceptance by various city and county building departments in Southern California of the proper grades of lumber for the uses to which thev are best suited. advised the Southern California Retail Lumber Assn., under date of February 15, that i

l. Good Utility DF as floor sheathing and solid roof sheathing is again permissible in the city of San Bernardino, and

2. Redwood studs, graded on WCLB Spruce rules, is now acceptable in the county of Ventura.

SCRLA Executive Vice-President Orrie W. Hamilton is also informed that a number of building departments are cracking down on "bootleg" grade stamps appearing ir.r Long Beach, Monrovia and Glendora, as well as varlous places in Orange county. \Mhenever discovered, the building department in the case has stopped ALL WORK on thE premises and did not let it resume until proper gradestamping and/or doubling up by Grade-stamped lumber had been accomplished. The SCRLA cautions its dealer members to be sure and examine all shipments wl.rere there might be a question about the validity of the grading agency or the gradestamp used on lumber.
