GUI5TOMER PREPARATICDN

A customer rushed into a barber shop one day and demanded a quick shave so that he could catch a train in a hurry. Did the barber grab his razor and immediately start shaving this fellow who was in such a rush?

He did not. He lathered the fellow's face thoroughly, and then proceeded to rub that lather into the chin with what looked like great deliberation, until the customer, watching the clock, began to get nervous. But the barber knew his business. When he got the face well lathered, he grabbed his razor and had those whiskers off in a jiffy. He knew customer preparation.

And it is just as important in the retail lumber business as it is with a barber. The retailer who overlooks the theory of working on his trade constantly is overlooking a vital

bet, because preliminary preparation is the chief secret of sales success.

Preliminary preparation in the building game means to keep your trade constantly advised as to who you are, where you are, what you have to offer, and what you mean to them in a service way; to keep them sold on yourself in your character as a building merchant so that when the time comes for them to build anything in your line, it will not be necessary for you to go through all the motions of convincing them concerning yourself and your ability to help them. Have them convinced in advance.

That's customer preparation. Remember, the best lathered face is the easiest shaved.

TT WAS A "HOWLING" SUCCESS when members of I Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo club 2, their friends, guests and "Kittens" converged on the California Country Club, Whittier, for a full day and evening of fun, sports and goodfellowship. It took the services of a personal guide, a special map prepared by club Prexy John Osgood and the help of the California Highway Patrol to find the place but it was worth it. The food and grog rvere perfect and lumbermen from all sections of the southern area of the state were on hand to participate in the fun.

The California Country Club is situated north of Whittier in the rolling hills dairy country and when the 75 golfers tee'd off Friday, March 24th it was a clear, brisk day.

_ Guests, who were invited lor 7 :00 p.m., first registered, then enjoyed a sumptuous buffet which inciuded a viriety oi meats, salads, cheeses, relishes and beverages.

Following the buffet, R. E. "Dick" Freeman. vice oresident- of So-Cal, welcomed those in attendance.and gave a brief summation of current business trends. He emoh'asized the importance of positive thinking and optimistic ittitudes in the creation of better businesi condiiions, and offered that over-publicity of the recession situation has of itself enlarged the problem. "Correction of this situation can only come through positive and optimistic faith in the stability of our country and locali area," he said.

Mr. Freeman then introduced the representatives present from So-Cal, starting with J. D. Scouller, presiclent ; Ed Corey, credit manager; Bud Corey, ordei desk; Tom Quarton, Roy Soderman and Ken Siarp, sales reDresentatives.

Two Golden Days

BE Robert l. Burd.ette

I here a.re tuo daas of the useek upon which and, abun uhich I neoer uorry. Tuso care-free dags, kept sacredlg free from fear and, apprehension.

NEof these days is yesterday. Yesterday, withallits cares and frets, with all its pain and aches, all its faults, its mistakes and blunders, has passed forever beyond the reach of my recall. I cannot undo an act that I wrought; I cannot unsay a word that I said on yesterday. All that it holds of my life, of wrongs, regrets and sorrow, is in the hands of the Mighty Love that can bring honey out of the roch and sweet u/aters out of the bitterest desert the Love that can make the wrong things right, that can turn weeping into laughter, that can give beauty for ashes, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, joy of the morning for the woe of the night.

'ti Save for the beautiful memories, sweet and tender, that linger like perfumes of roses in the heart of the day that is gone, I have nothing to do with yesterday. It was mine; it is God's.

J[ And the other day I do not worry about is to-morrow. To-morrow with all its possible adversities, its burdens, its perils, its large promise and poor performance, its failures and mistakes, is as far beyond the reach of my mastery as its dead sister, yesterday. It is a day of God's. Its sun will rise in roseate splendor, or behind a mask of weepipg clouds. But it uill rise. Until then, the same love and patience that hold yesterday and hold to-morrow, shine with tender promise into the heart of to'day. I have no possession in that unborn day of grace. All else is in the safe keeping of the Inffnite Love that holds for me the treasure of yesterday. The Love that is higher than the stars, wider than the skies, deeper than the sea. To-morrow It is God's day. It will be mine.

'l[ There is left for myself, then, but one day of the week To-DAy. Any man can ftght the battles of to-day. Any woman can carry the burdens of just one day. Any man can resist the temptations of to-day. Oh friend, it is only when, to the burdens and cares of today carefully measured out to us by the Inffnite Wisdom and Might that gives with them the promise, "As thy day, so shall thy strength be," we willfully add the burdens of those two ari'ful eternities' yesterday and to-morrow such burdens as only the mighty God can sustain that we break down. It isnt the experience of to-day that drives men mad. It is the remorse for something that happened yesterday, the dread of what to-morrow may disclose.

Ji These are God's days. Leave them with Him.

Jf Therefore, I think, and I do, and I iourney but one day at a time. That is the easy day. That is the mant day. Nay, rather that is our day . . . God's and mine. And while faithfully and dutifully I run my course, and work my appointed task on that day of ours, God the Almighty and the All-loving takes care of yesterday and to-morrow.

Special plyruood dePartment raises sales 400% in a Year

At Klamath Lumber' San Cartos, Calif" plywood sales went from $10,000 to more ttran $40,000 in one year, thanlcs to a new Plywood Outlet annex. Before, plWood was kept in a cluttered cubbytrote ana se['service was impossible' Now, co-owner Herbert Grossman says he can keep six times as mrlch inventory. And customers, mostlY do'ityourselfers, can easily find what they want. In 2,000 sq. ft., there's room for orderly stocking of all standard grades of DFPA trademarked fir PlYwood in assorted sizes, interior and exterior' Free delivery and simple saw cuts help build goodwill and repeat business'

Shop-fabricated components make a big hit with builders

The H. W. Blackstock Lumber Co. of Seattle has found the home component business so profitable that this year R' V. Blackstock set up a special division' Blackstock Homes, afrliat€d with Muttart Homes of Edmonton, makes Parts and assembles materials for 25 complete homes a month. Blackstock uses a modified Lu-Re-Co system, with DFPA trademarked fir PlYwood for floors, walls and roof. He ofiers stafi services in landscaping, design and marketing. The prefabbed componenta save some builders three weeks c'on' struction time and $30O per house. They say Blackstock's use of quality rnaterials makes their own selling easier.

Fences from scrap p|yruood prove profitable sideline

Leftover Exterior pl5rwood, turned into fence sections, means pure profit for Morris Shores of Cornwells Heights Lumber Co., Cornwells Hts., Pa. During business lulle, the shop crew cuts scrap plywood into pickets and nails them to lunber stringers, which are usually also scrap. Shores displays the unpaintcd fence sections, 8 ft. long and from 12" to 80" high, in the yard. He charges $2.49 or 92.98, depending on height, and says they practically sell themselves. It takes only about 20 minutee to nail a section together on a special jig, once the pickets are shaped.

Selling the marine market is easier with DFPA boat plans

A New Jersey dealer, Thomas Maclean of Rendall Lumber in North Bergen, sells three carloads of plywood and 100,000 board ft. of marine lumber a year. His profts are mostly due to his marine business and DFPA boat ptans. Besides selling DFPA trademarked Erterior plywood, boat kits, and some finished boate, he gets subgtantial profits from related items, tie-ins and power tool rentals. Macl,ean's customers build about 500 plypood boats a year, mostly to DFPA plans that he supplies. He keeps the entire assortment of plans in stock, ranging from an g-ft. pram dinghy to a 26-ft. sailboat

Boom in cabin construction brings boom in plywood sales

Dealer George Osborne of Chehalis, Wash. broke into the second-home field a year ago. He found a ready-made market from DFPA's national promotion and POST advertising. After his first $100,000 in sales, he's learned some vital rules, e.c., (1) work with a land developer and build a model cabin; (2) use a simple, easily adaptable plan (DFPA \ns 22 cabin plans); (3) prepare a good infomative brochure; (4) mail it to land owners-those in the development, plus lists obtained from county courthouses; (5) follow up on all visitors to the model. Osborne says much of his success is due to exclusive use of DFPA trademarked fir plywood, which assures his customers of lasting, quality construction. Other dealers who want to cash in on this profitable market can get DFPA help-see coupon.

and most imporaana.

Be sure you always specify DFPA trademarked plnYood

It's good business to look for the DFPA grade trademark on every panel. Fdrsf, it means quality plywood, backed by the rieiid DFPA quality control program supported by the majority of U. S. firand Western softwood plywood manufacturers, accounting for 85 percent of industry production. Your customers know they can depend on DFPA trademarked fir plywood. Second,, it stands for DFPA's $6-million-a-year promotion progrzrm. Through advertising, field promotion and research in new and better ways to use plywood, DFPA keeps your customers co-ing in and your pl5rwood sales on the rise. Insist on the DFPA trademark on every panel. It's always a profitable idea.

Don Gow, as always, handled- the tournament in his irsual efficient manner and all the "Cats" had a day long to be remembered.

A grotip of San Diego Hoo-Hoo,officers_including Sn_ark Bill -Eveison, Bill Pumphrey, Chuck Hampshire, Wes Thomas, and Bill Bradley were able to find the place with the aid of their seeing-eye dog and arrived in time for cocktails and the initiati,on ceremony. They enjoyed meeting old and new friends during the convivial hour prior to the concat.

Six Kittens Become Cats

Six fine "Kittens" were prepared by Ben Gardner and Phil Kelty for their induction into Hoo-Ho_o-Land. They were: Gebrge Cameron, Marquart-Wo-lfe Lumber Company, Los A--ngeles; John C. M-9La191, U.S. ?lywood, Los Angeles; John Donnelly, T. W. Mills Lg*!"1 C-ompany, Gar-dena-; A. R. "Al" R;dinger, Atkins, Kroll & Company Ltd., Los Angeles; J. E. "Ji*" Martindale, sales- manager, Bari Lumb"tto-pitty, Sa-nta Ana; and George M. Reheis, office manager, Indep6ndent Building Materials Company, Torrance.

The concatenation was held during the cocktail hour just prior to dinner and was serious in spots and hilarious to both kittens and spectators as the ceremony progressed.

Snark John Osgood headed the degree team which included Don Bufkin, I{arold Cole, Joe Petrash, Harvey Koll, Joe Sinnott, Freeman Campbell, -Bill Evenson, Don McNew and Don Bralev as visiting ofificer. Under trying circumstances the nine did a splen-did job in helping the "Kittens" see the light of day. Snark Osgood and-S.upreme Nine member, Hariey Koll, urged them to participate in all club activities and to work for the good of the lumber order.

Although dinner service was terribly- slow the prime rib was delici-ous and made up for the confusion caused by ?n unexpected turnout attracied by the well advertised vaudeville'show from the "strip." Accordionist Francine. Fay played sweet and popular songs throughout the ev-ening-ind she was a s*eei little cf,ick, too. The "boys" really whooped it up while waiting for the piece de resistance prepared for fhem by Larry-Weiland and .producet Zai\' -

Then the master of c.r.-o.ties sounded his trumpet, told a few old jokes and launched the spectacular, well advertised show'headed by star "stormy Nite" straight from the strip in Las Vegas.-She was assisted throughout the performance by biautiful Ginger Briston, gorgeous - Josey London and colorful, talentid Duke Art. Assisted by ttt-e orchestra these "know-how" show people kept their audience well entertained for more thin lwo hours and the "Cats" enjoyed every minute of it.

Chuck Lemler attd Toe Petrash conducted the financial afiairs of the evening and, 12 lucky winners received door prizes for the openirig Dodger baseball game April 11th at Los Anseles Memorill Coliseum. Sports attract the fancy of Hoo--Hoo members and these door prizes were well received.

Before adjournment Snark Osgog{- called attention to the next Hoo-Hoo meeting whictr will be a luncheon at the Ambassador Hotel in coop'eration with SCRLA convention on fttutsday, April 13th.^He urged all members to attend and suppori lttid i-portant evenI.

A couple of generations ago a man made a statement that has been quoted innumerable times all over the world, when he said: "Vl/herever on the ramparts of Europe a sentry cries 'Who goes there?' the answer is always-Russia."

And today the same truth might be uttered, excepting that the wording could be "Wherever on the ramparts of Europe, Asia, Africa, North or South America, and wherever else in the world men strive for freedom, and a sentry cries 'Who goes there?' the answer is the same as generations ago-Russia." Always and inevitably the answer is unchanged.

Russia overshadows the world and everyone in it.

Russia fills all our thoughts, affects all our plans.

Russia has atways b; t: "j*r"rro, nation, always a dark and sinister shadow that encircles the world. And she grows more so with every year that passes. ***

In the United Nations Russia continues her role of trouble-maker. Recently in that body the American Ambassador, Adlai Stevenson, was called on to reply to a tvpical tirade against this country made by a high ranking Russian' * * *

He described the remarks of the Russian as "insensate attacks," and said that the speech was in "the worst and most destructive traditions of the cold war," and "imperiled the very survival of the United Nations." All in all

BY JACK DIONNE

Mr. Stevenson's remarks were probably the most devastating spanking any Russian has ever received in the U.N. Assembly.

The assembly gave Mr. Stevenson's remarks thunderous applause when he finished. It is not to be supposed that he had pierced the thick skin of the Russian diplomat, who had been given a job of insulting to do, and he followed hisinstructions-

All of the manifold troubles we have had with Russia had their origin in 1933 when President F. D. Roosevelt 'recognized' Russia, and invited her into the brotherhood of civilized nations. Hell and high water started right then, and has been getting worse ever since !

Then when the United Nations was organized, Russia was given the now infamous "veto." One of our commentators said that giving Russia the veto was like putting an electric light switch ina monkey cage. It has been a Russian weapon .rur .tl"u.

Some American with a vitriolic tongue once suggested that we round up all the Communists in this country who are boring from within in their efforts to undermine this nation and "load them all on a ship of stone, with sails of lead, and turn them loose with an ocean of fire beneath them, and hell for their destination." You will probably conclude he is 'agin' em.' ***

The Good Book says, "By their works ye shall know them." And the free world is judging Russia and Communism by their works; and those works threaten to bring "not peace but a sword" to a world that has known no peace since Russia began her assaults on the "ramparts" of the world'

Which brings to mind the story of the Russian in Moscow who lost his pet parrot and, wanting it back, ran an ad in a local newspaper, offering a reward for its return. And the ad contained this adroit clause: "Any political opinions expressed by this bird are strictly his own."

Western Red Cedar "siding Lights"

by ROlf D. GTERUM Wesi Coost lumbermen's Associotion

EW THINGS are brewing in the West Coast lumber I\ industry regarding house siding, that area in which wood's advantages are actually seen, as well as realized in terms of comfort, security and economy.

\Mestern red cedar manufacturers and their associations, in cooperation l,r'ith paint and stain manufacturers, have produced new methods and finishing techniques to the point where the consumer has scores of routes to follow in achieving desired effects.

Western red cedar siding can be painted, stained, bleached or left completely in its natural state. New blister-resistant paints have been formulated that stubbornly combat moisture from within and without the house.

Stains act much like these new "breathing" paints, allowing moisture to pass through the siding to the outside of the house. IVloisture within a house is virtually impossible to eliminate. making venting an extremely important item of construction. Warm interior air carries this water vaDor toward the cool side of the wall, where it will try to pbss through to the outside. Non-wood siding does not allow this, causing the vapor to condense into liquid when it hits the cold metal, and run down the backslde of the wall, causing decay and moisture damage. A stain also brings out the natural texture and grain of Western red cedar siding.

This element of naturalness found in red cedar siding is one of its major selling points. Artists and designers tell us that nature is the ultimate artist because of the nonrepetitive aspects of her designs, and Western red cedar has these aspects in spades. If and when a stain finish eventually wears away (an exceptionally slow process), there are no problems involved in restaining. Indeed, if stain is applied over "rough-sawn" Western red cedar siding, it will last up to twice as long as on smooth siding, due to the "tooth" of the rough texture, which actually grabs the stain and keeps it in place.

Physically, Western red cedar is a lifetime material, and, when left completely exposed to the weather, its color will eventually turn into a pleasing and intriguing gray. This process,, however, takes up to 15 years. Realizing the popularity of this "natural gray" color, researchers have found a method to achieve this effect in a fraction of that time, through the use of bleaches. Soon after the application of bleach, the gray color appears, and a second -bleach in about six months will clinch the job for good.

Completely beyond the area of appearance we come to another sales clincher-insulation qualities. The average

consumer thinks of insulation as keeping the cold out, but any air-conditioning specialist will tell him it works the other way around, too-the summertime necessity of keeping the heat out and the cool air in. A few short facts:

(1) One inch of Western red cedar equals six inches of brick or 15 inches of concrete or sandstone in insulation value.

(2) There is four and a half times as much heat loss through a typical brick wall as through an insulated Western red cedar wall, and 23/o more heat loss through a brick wall than through an uninsulated red cedar wall.

(3) The rate of heat transmission for steel is about 400 times that for Western red cedar: for aluminum. about 1,800 times that of red cedar.

Another breakthrough in the fields of builders' savings and maximum flexibility is the method of manufacture by which Western red cedar patterns are run with a rough texture on one side and a smooth texture on the other. This double-sided feature is available on all Western red cedar Siding and Paneling patterns-bevel siding, rebatted siding, tongue and groove pattern, channel pattern and shiplap -and costs nothing extra. This flexibility gives the builder a minimum of left-over material. For instance, he can install his siding, and gable ends, turn the remaining pieces over and put in his interior paneling, use his short pieces for soffits, and finish up with a fence or garden house.

Rough-rown Weslern red cedor bevel riding is used for fencing to extend the horizontql house lines, giving the illusion of c lorger and longer house.

DOUGLAS FIR REDWOOD o nd FIR PLYWOOD

Carl S. Walker, president of the Walker Lumber Company, at Mad River, California, testified for the National Lumber Manufacturers Association against the tax proposal before the House Ways and Meins Committee'citing cost increases in California alone as exceeding $4,000,000 annually.

Pointing out that truck taxes are important since "one of the biggest single problems in the lumber business is transportation," Walker said, "Because log and lumber production is much the same anywhere in the United States, I believe that the lumber industry generally would be bearing an unfair share of the interstate system if the proposed tax changes on trucks, fuel and rubber are enacted."

Increased TaxesIncreased Costs

The witness asserted, "A check of the cost records of several long established lumber companies showed that the proposed increase in taxes would increase the cost of log hauling over 45 cents per thousand board feet."

He added, "Considering the area, terrain, and the type of roads we use the contrasting limited use we could make of the interstate highway system, it appears the proposed tax increase would place a very inequitable burden upon our industry."

Walker told the Committee, "I haul logs 20 mill and travel only 1,000 feet on paved road . the 2O miles is dirt and classed as county road.

NEED

Calling the committee's attention to the mountainous forested areas of our country, he said, "Before there will be any return on a forestry investment, each tree has to be moved down to a mill. Thus forestry, to a large extent, depends upon transportation of logs which nowadays means diesel powered trucks and tires. Since lumber within recent years has become fiercely competitive with many other building materials, such cost increases will have to come out of the timber, and tree growing will become even more costly."

Walker ofiered a proposal that "provision be made in the legislation that increased highway user taxes provide for a iefund of taxes for logging use. We believe this is the only equitable thing to do and will be willing to suggest methods if -you intend to proceed with the President's proposal."

Growing Low-Cost Home Msrket Seen By GIT Finqnciql

Studies by a subsidiary of C.I.T. Financial Corporation point to a "rapidly growing market for low-cost homes that can be purchased in various stages ranging from the'shell' to a completed house," Alan G. Rude, president of Universal C.I.T. Credit Corporation, the subsidiary, said today.

"The basis for expansion of this market will be the availability of convenient installment financing plans that can be readily arranged by the local dealer or contractor," he said. "Mass financing will put these attractive and economically- priced houses within reach of increasing numbers of families who could not otherwise afford to buy their own homes."

The indicated potential of this market has been evidenced

by the recent agreement between C.I.T. and Certain-Teed Products Corporation, a leading producer of building materials, for financing low-cost dwellings, Rude observed.

Under the agreement, LJniversal C.I.T. has agreed to make available an initial $100 million for retail financing of homes designed by the Institute of Essential Housing, Inc., which was organized by Certain-Teed to merchandisl a complete line of homes on a national scale. The Institute is building a nationwide organization of local representatives, principally established lumber dealers and contractors.

Credit investigations and approvals for individual transactions will be handled by Universal C.I.T. through its nationwide network of offices, Rude explained. The receivables will carry maturities ranging from 5 to 10 years.

IEH homes are available in a wide range of models. They can be purchased in various stages of completion

Dubs, Ltd., staged itsfirst Invitational Tourney o1 March 17, at the Peninsula Country Club with Chet Dennis hosting tire excellent afiair. A banner turnout of some 75 membdrs and guests attempted the course, -and since the best ball winner two-some was to be awarded snappy green jackets (ala famous "Masters" tournament). everyone

present made a real effort.

The prized jackets were won by Ralph Bowman and his guest, Joe Malmor, but the jackets are to be custom tailored to fit the winners, so the Dubs membership will have to wait until the next tournament (Silvarado Golf & Country Club, Napa, on April 2l), to see the "green. hornets" in action.

Chet Dennis, his usual straight-shooting affable self, copped the low gross award with a 76.

Another annually awarded trophy changed hands, at the dinner awards ceremony Wendell Paquette reluctantly passing forth a handsome trophy to Ed French in recognition of the five worst net score turned in during the past year (s'matter of fact, that makes two years running for Ed. Lessons anyone?).

Spurred on by the success of the club's first Invitational, Du6s officers and members plan to make this an annual occasion, according to prexy George Monnier.

Lumber Veterqn Arr Twohy Decides to Go Fishing

. After 56 years in the lumber industry-SO of them spent in Los Angeles selling lumbe! to the yards-Art Twohy has decided to take it easy. The popular and highly respected lumber wholesaler and lumber yard bro-kei announced his retirement in March.

As a young boy, Art first went to work for the Illinois Central Railroad in the Midwest but, after a vear. he decided to go_West. Arriving in San Francisco in ihe days before the "Fire" he first went to work at the western lumber purchasing office of Carr, Adams & Collier of Dubuque, Iowa (then Carr, Ryder & Adams). A year later he went to Scotia and started with the Pacifii Lumber Company-working in the mill, 60 hours a week, at 20 cents an hour. After a year he was promoted to the office, finally

became assistant superintendent of manufacture and shipping.

In 1910 Art was transferred to the sales department at Los Angeles, and in 1914 he started in for himself and has consistently stayed in the Los Angeles wholesale lumber business all these years. Also, one of his sidelines for which he has been well known has been that of selling lumberyards and sawmills in both California and Oregon-, as a licensed broker.

I!Ir. Twohy also founded the Horseless Carriage Club and was its first president. (Back in 1911 he had a fourcylinder car called the Everitt and was the first lumber salesman in Los Angeles to drive a company car.) He owns a dozen antique cars, among them a IX)2 one-cylinder Pierce Arrow, 1905 Buick and 1906 White Steamer.

We join Art Twohy's many, many friends in wishing him long and pleasant years in his retirement.

Sales of fiberglass building panels, another major product of the company, also were up significantly from the first quarter of 1960.

Lynch said a fifth extruder capable of increasing the company's pipe pro- duction 25 per cent was placed in operation in mid-March in an effort to keep.pace with demand.,A similar expansion was completed only last October.

New Nqtional Forest Plonned From lndion Londs in Oregon

Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman announced decision to proceed with establishing a new National Forest in Oregon. This step is necessary because of the termination of Federal supervision over the Klamath Indian Tribe.

SM ITl|.RtlBBINS

Under a 1958 Act of Congress, some 525,000 acres of forest and range land now belonging to the Klamath Indians rvill be placed under administration of the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, shortly after April 1, 1961.

As a ner,v addition to the National Forest System natural resources of these lands will be managed for tiple use and sustained yield purposes.

This area, now under administration of the Bureau of Indian Afiairs, represents the remaining share of tribal properties of the Indians who voted to withdraw from the Klamath Tribe. Under terms of the 1958 amendment to the Klamath Reservation Termination Act of. 1954 these lands were first offered for sale to private parties, and land valued at $1,636,182 was sold to a private concern.

Lands not purchased under this procedure are to become National Forest lands on April 1, and will be paid for by special funds totaling 58,717,000 to be appropriated by Congress. Thus, Indians selling out their interests will receive $70,353,182 in all.

The new National Forest will be named for the heroine of the Modoc War of t872-Winema, pronounced WY-NEMA and meaning "woman of the brave heart," who did a great deal to bring about peace and friendship between the white man and the Indian in the Klamath area. Headquarters for the Winema National Forest will be at Klamath, Oregon.

Nucleus of the proposed Forest will be 419,000 acres of Klamath Indian land. Another 500,000 acres from three adjoining National Forests will be added to create a logical National Forest unit. Approximately 100,000 acres of the Indian lands will be added to the Fremont National Forest because they can be more efficiently managed from the Bly Ranger District, a unit of that Forest.

Sontiom of Oregon Opens New Plywood Sheothing Plqnt

Opening of a new plywood sheathing plant, due to begin operations around May 1 in Lebanon, Oregon, has been announced by officials of the Santiam Lumber Company of lweet Home, Oregon. It will be operated as the Shiatliing Division of Santiam. and will Droduce more than 70 million feet of interior plywood sheathing annually, figured on a s/s-inch basis, according to Richard E. Davis, Santiam's general sales manager.

Davis estimates that rvhen in full operation, the plant will employ 80 persons, with a monthly payroll of $30,000. Located adjacent to Santiam Lumber Company's sawmill in I ebanon, the new plywood plant will occupy 65,000 feet of floor space. National distribution of the plywood will be through wholesalers. Two railroad lines, Southern Pacific and Oregon Electric will serve the new plant.

Santiam's Sheathing Division plywood will be graded and tested by the Western Research Division of Timber Engineering Company, a nationally-recognized grading and testing organization which serves 10 other plywood mills in Oregon and Northern California. A "TECO" qualitycontrol technician will tecnnrclan wlll Drovlcle inspection at the new Santiam ide daily, in-mill, gradiing and tsistent, the Santiam plant, to assure cons top-quality production. The "TECO-Tested" grade grade stamp is readily accepted for major building codes throughout the country and by federal housing lending agencies, as well as with wood products distributors from coast to coast.

"The new plant will afford greater utilization of the lower grade logs," pointed out Davis. "Our sources will be primarily from Santiam Lumber Company and other Oregon timber."

"We have confidence in the future, and fully expect production and sales to keep pace with increasing business and building activity across the country," he added optimistically.

The Toriff Question

It was in the mountains of old Tennessee.

ft was what is there called a "political speakin'."

The folks had gathered from the entire countryside in their wagons, their buggies, and their fivvers, to hear the political questions of the campaign discussed.

The speakin' place was greensward in an oak grove, and the speaker's platform was a wagon beneath a great oak.

A candidate for public office had been introduced, and he stuck his right hand in front of his long black coat where it was buttoned, and began:

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Grand Old State of Tennessee, I come before you today to discuss the sovereign principles of that great type of Jeffersonian Democracy for which the South shed its blood, an' which are now bein' outrageously attacked by them dern Republicans. I feel it to be my duty-"

Just then an old man rose in the crowd and shouted: "IIow do you stand on the Tarifr question?"

"What's that?" asked the speaker, as though he did not hear.

"f say, tell us how you stand on the Tariff question," repeated the questioner.

"Well," said the speaker nervously, hemming and hawing for a minute, "I don't come here today to discuss that subject as I don't consider it of vital imlortance like I do Jeffersonian Democracy, but if you must know, I'M IN FAVOR OF PAYIN' HER OFF AND LETTIN' HER GO."

Egg on Their Foces? No, Foces on the Egg!

The Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club 1, Los Angeles, nominated a committee to prepare Easter Eggs for girls at the Ramona School for Girls. Instead of the committee merely coloring the eggs, they decided to make an Easter hat on each one. Every kind of hat was represented from the harem-type to the Grandmother type-and the gals really had fun whipping these into shape as a gift to the unfortunate young girls in this school.

The committee consisted of Sallye Bissel, Betty Morrill, Mabel Staser, Corrine Adams, Fay Bolmer, Norma Boyce, Marguerite Dixon and the gal who painted all of the faces on the Easter Eggs-Elizabeth Dixon, sister of Marguerite. These eggs were to be used as table decorations for a school tea the girls were having.

Get Gunrontee in Writing, Worns Plywood Executive

"Tell 'em and sell 'grn-fu1 don't put it in

writing."

That seems to be the line followed bv all too manv building materials salesmen when it co-e-s to guaranteei, according to Monroe W. Pollack, sales vice president, United States Plywood Corporation.

Mr. Pollack warns that as a consequence, the buying public often believes materials, such as exterior sidings, are "guaranteed" when actually they are not.

Such claims as "never need replace," "never needs painting," "lasts a lifetime," are commonplace, he says, but are seldom put on paper. Ilowever, U.S. Plywood, he points out, puts its guarantees in writing.

Occasion for his blast is announcement that his firm is extending a written guarantee "for the life of the building"

to purchasers of USP's complete line of Weldwood sidings, which meet FHA standards.

Examples, he says, include Weldwood Duraply, Duratex, Formtex. Earlv American and Lauan 1-11.

Lumber and Mill Employers Association Formed

The Lumber and Mill Employers Association, a new non-profit corporation, was formed Thursday, March 30, for the purpose of continuing the stable collective bargaining relationships that have existed for many years through ,the representation of employers by Mr.D.N. (Nat) Edwards, who recently passed away.

These relationships involve some lforty collective bargaining agreements with sixteen different local unions signatory to agreements with lumber yards, planing mills, cabinet shops, sash and door, furniture, pallet and plywood operations and other prefabrication and distribution of wood products and building materials.

Membership Represents Bay Areas Counties

The principal membership of the Association comes from distributors in the six Bay Area counties and includes about 400 companies. All companies in these industries are welcome to become associated with this employer group.

This Association will be the collective bargaining agent for its members and wilf continue to promote peaceful

At thefirst membership meeting held last Thursday at the Leamington Hotel in Oakland, By-Laws were approved and the following were elected to the Board of Directors :

For Alameda County, William Chatham, Jr. Loop Lumber & Mill Co. For Contra Costa County, Thomas Jacobsen, Jr., Sun Valley Lumber Co. For Marin County, Charles Lund, Henry Hess Co. For San Francisco County, James Higgins, Higgins Lumber Co. For San Mateo County, Wendell Scott, Progress Lumber Co. For Santa Clara County, Robert Cheim, Cheim Lumber Co.

putes is well recognized and appreciated by both unions and management.

"We hope that this non-profit association can carry forward his pattern of firm but fair dealing in all matters of employee and union relations. Past experience has shown that industry-wide bargaining in this area has been advantageous to both employers and employee groups. By increased participation of member companies and continued cooperation by unions in seeking peaceful solutions to grievances and negotiations, strikes or work stoppages will continue to be rare in these industries.

"We have been fortunate in obtaining the services of Dwight Steele as our Manager. He has had many years of experience as a negotiator and with employer associations and is well known in Bay Area Labor-Management circles.

"As a final tribute to my friend Nat Edwards:we shall sorely miss him-we are grateful for the privilege of having known him."

the industry and now available from the Superintendent of Documents, lJ.S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C., at 10 cents a copy. It is SPR R262-60 Acoustical Material.

The Simplified Practice Recommendation lists sizes, thicknesses, and edge finishes now recommended to be produced and carried as regular stock items.

This Standard of simplified practice represents five years of cooperative efiort on the part of all segments of the industry to reduce the wide variety of sizes. thicknesses. and finishes that have built up over the years. Through general adherence to thiS list, it is expected that costs can be curtailed, warehouse space reduced, and servicing problems eliminated.

Hqgh Satterlee Retires

Announcement was made last month that Hugh Satterlee, veteran T. M. Cobb purchasing agent, Los Angeles, had retired following more than 15 years service with the wholesale concern. On the evening ol March 24th the Los Angeles personnel gave a party for Hugh as a farewell to an old friend and on March 31st Hugh departed for travel and loafing. His many friends in the industry wish him well as Hugh has been in the lumber business in the southland for more than three decades.
