Top Speakers Will Address LASC Convention

Members and guests who attend the 45th annual meeting and trade show of California will be enlightened and entertained by a number of speakers who are authorities in their field.

To be held May 8-10 at the Lafayette Hotel, Long Beach, the convention will give emphasis to the problems of finance which are of interest to all. Walter Kruger, Bank of America, will speak on "Finan'cing-Industry,s Most Important Tool." "The Availabilitv of

Money for Capital Expenditures, fnventories and Consumer Sales" will be the subject of a panel discussion to be moderated by Robert Lintner, Security-First National Bank.

Dr. Gunther Klaus, Professor, School od Business Admir{istration, UCLA, and staff economist for the Purex Corporation, will speak on "The Role of Business Management in Future Small Business."

Various panel discussions will also be featured- during the three-day pro-

gram. Of these probably the one to draw the most interest will be that .which will take up the question, "'Who 'is going to sell the new building materials that are being developed?"

Don Comstock, Western Pine Association. will moderate a "Lumber Grading Pack Course."

This is but a partial run-down on the dynamic program of the LASC Convention, full details to be reported in the May 1 issue of The California I-umber Merchant.

The most loveable cluality any human can possess, is tolerance. Tolerance is the vision that enables tls to see things from another person's point of view. It is the genelosity that concedes to others the right to their own opinions and their own peculiarities. It is the bigness that enables us to let people be happy in their own way' instead of our way.-Anon.

Speaking of ingenious advertising. A big city retailer put a big fish bowl full of water in his front window, with a big sign that read "fnvisible gold fish from the Argehtine." The sidewalks were packed all day by curious people, striving to see the fish that were not there.

A man-about-town lost a bet to a preacher friend, and had to pay ofi by going to church every Sunday f.or a year to hear the preacher. He said he had never before realized how wrong it is to bet.

Many years ag'o a certain member of the U. S. Senate was an enthusiastic fisherman. He was so robust in his reports of his fishing, that his friends got to doubting him. So one of them went with him on a fishing trip. He found tha! the guide's scales seemed to prove the stories. It just so happened that the guide's wife had just given birth to a son, and the guide invited the fisherman to his cabin to see the child. One of the gentlemen asked what the baby weighed, so, the guide brought out the fish scales, and put the baby on the scales. He weighed ninety-six pounds.

from Solomon: "Whosoever findeth a wife findest a good thing and obtaineth favor of the Lord." Baird, rrylo w-as also-a bible student, replied that while Solomon did make that remark, the great- teacher Paul said that "while he that marryeth do-th well, he that marryeth not doeth better." Bryan replied that as between these two the.-opinion of Solomon was the more valuable, because while Paul never married and couldn't possibly know, Solomon had married a thousand times and was an authority.

Singles Slip-Mulris Increqse

Apartments made up half of the housing construction in the Bay Area last year which is an indication of the revolution taking place within the industry, a housing finance expert said recently.

Ralph A. Pifari, vice-president and head of the appraisal department of Bank of America, told a meeting of the Bay Area real estate research committee of the San Francisco Bay Area Council, Inc., that apartment construction in the U. S. in 1955 was onlv 8 Der cent o{ tl-re total.

By 7961, he said, the pircentage had risen to 26 nationally, with the Bay Area up to 50 per cent and Los Angeles up to 60.

Pifari said urban renewal plans, co-operative housing and special housing for elderly people were responsible for the cnang'e.

He pointed out that there are 30,000 unsold tract homes in the U. S., with as many as 4,000 in the San Jose and Sacramento areas. Poor location, shoddy construction, poor design, and slipshod financing were blamed for the statewide vacancy rate of 8 or 9 per cent.

Current Markefing Considerations Discussed at Plywood Meeting

The second Annual Spring Meeting of the Southern California Plywood Association was held earlv in March at the West Venetian Room of the Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles. Over one hundred plywood men attended the meeting, which is the largest gathering of this industry in this area each year. The principal purpose of the meeting was to hear a talk by W. H. "Bill" Hunt, vice president in cl,arge of plywood and specialty sales of Georgia-Pacific Corporation. Mr. Hunt, who is also on the Board of Directors of G-P, came frorn Portland, Oregon especially to address the plywood gathering on the subject of "Marketing Considerations in Our Current Economy". The talk, which ernphasized the need for merchandising of plywood through advertising, was lvell received. Among the important comments made by Mr. Hunt were the following:

"The subject selected is 'Marketing Considerations in Our Current Economy-The Jobber's Role.' No'te well the key word, 'Current'. That means 'Now'-1962 or l%3, or most likely the decade of the '$Q's-4 decade I have chosen to call 'The Decade of the SalesmanThe Decade of the Marketing Man.'This subject has been selected for one very important reason -the need for better market practices in all phases of modern-day business.

". Marketing is all that happens to a product from the time it is manufactured until it gets to the consumer. The American Marketing Association chooses to define marketing as 'The activity involved in selling the right product or the right service at the right place, at the right time, in the right quantities, and at the right price.'

"In addition to the general term 'marketing', you have no doubt been aware of the emphasis which is being

placed on the phrase 'The New Marketing Concept.' This is a concept of doing business which is being adopted at a rapid rate by American business and it is my guess that emphasis on the'New Marketing Concept' will continue to accelerate at least through this decade-the decade of the salesman. A simple definition of the 'Ner,r' Marketing Concept' is that 'The customer is king.' In other words, it means that all activities in any business or corporation which has adopted the new marketing concept are designed and developed with the customer's needs and desires in mind.

Mr. Hunt then outlined the several major periods that have characterized the development of production and merchandising: the initial period of growth at the time of the Industrial Revolution when emphasis was upon building and financing factories and machines; the second great period when emphasis was upon mass production, to bring the products to the masses at pric.es they could afford. This was followed by the great period of advertising-inducing the public to buy the new products now mass produced. Then came the years of World \A:ar II when emphasis shifted to producing the necessary materials of war, and selling of necessity was forgotten; in the war's aftermath, selling was still unnecessary for attention was given primarily to converting to a peace-time economy and production.

In the 60's, however, Mr. llunt sumrnarized, everything is in good supply -'rpvslyfhing is highly competitive because modern-day marketing has been unable to keep up with modernday production." Thus, creative selling becomes imperative-not just divertive selling. "In creative selling we create new and orofitable markets and in divertive selling rve simply attempt

to take the place of some competitor in a sales picture-in other words, divert business from him to us with the result that a broader market is not created and profit disintegrates or disappears entirely."

"Creative selling," Mr, Hunt continrred, "involves the selling of benefits-not price-to those who have not used a given product before-or in fewer applications. At times we perhaps are all guilty of attempting to divert business from another to ourselves and that probably will continue. The thing to remember about this is that creaiive selling increases profits and, conseque'ntly, one can afford to spend much more time and effort in so doing- wltereas, on the contrary' all diverting can do is to tear down the orofit structure."

Concluded Mr Hunt, "Gentlemen, in the marketing plan what we need is not more advErtising, but more effective use and coordination of advertising with the other facets of marketing; not more creativity, but more control in terms of objectives; not more technique, but mo,re thought to the proper application of techniqu-eand noConly fhought about individual practices (duch as writing an ad_ or designing a display or training a salesman) but thought about how each part'u'ill fit into the total marketing plan." - The meeting was presided over bY Don L. Bralej', Division N{anager of United StateJ Plyrvood Corporation, who is President of the Southern California Plywood Association. In addition to Don Braley, other Officers, Directors and distinguished guests at the speaker's table were: Leonard H.

American Lumbermen Propose U. S. Tariff Repeal As Novel Move to Ease Canadian Pressures

The American lumber industry, faced with serious threats to domestic markets and the economic stability of American forest-based communities as a result of sharply increasing imports of Canadian softwood lumber, has proposed a novel solution by recommending the reciprocal repeal of all tariffs on softwood lumber by both the United States and Canada.

Nlortimer B. Doyle, Executive Vice President of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, announced the proposal in a letter to Secretary of Commerce Luther H. Hodges, and asked that the Secretary take the necessary steps to afrange a meetlng of tI.S. and Canadian officials and lumber industry representatives from both nations to discuss the program and develop support for it in each country.

The proposal envisions the repeal of present softwood lumber tariffs and duty free entry of shipments to each country until total imports equal ten per cent of annual domestic consumption. A duty of ten per cent would then be imoosed on the value of each import shipment in excess of ten per cent of total domestic consumption.

The ten per cent breaking point was arrived at as slightly above the aver-

age rate of softwood lumber imports into the U. S. over the past ten years. Canadian exports to the U. S. have increased mor-e than 70 per cent in the decade from 1951 to 196l until they no\,v represent more than 13 per cent of total IJ. S. consumption of softwood lumber. U. S. exoorts of softwood lumber to Canada -have amounted to approximately 5 per cent of the Canaclian consumption.

In 1961, when American production of softwood lumber declined a billion and .a quarter .board feet from the previous year, imports from Canada increased more than 350 million board feet.

In addition to requesting Secretary Hodges to take action on the tariff proposal, the Executive and Foreign Trade Committees of the Association had adopted resolutions pro,posing collateral moves to eliminate inequities suffered by the American lumber industry and provide equal opportunities r.vith foreign competitors in fulfilling softwood lumber recuirements in both .American and foreign markets.

The lumbermen urged that appropri- ate agencies of the United States Government act promptly to counteract the manipulation of currency by

Iumber producing nations competing with the U. S. industry in U. S. markets.

They requested implemer-rtation and extension of the "Bt.ty American" principle to the extent necessary to assure that all lumber and wood prodtucts used in construction, either federally financed or federally insured, such' as FHA insured housing, is of domestic manufacture.

The association also proposes to examine the possibility of invoking Section 22 ol the Agriculture Marketing Agreements Act of 1937, as arnended, to limit quantities of forest products imported into the U. S.

NLMA also contemplates an industry-financed market study to expand the export market for American forest products.

Beautiful Long-Bell natural wood kitchen cabinets, a delight to any discerning lady's eye, were spotlighted March 27 through 29 at the Grand Opening of the new Gildon Distributors, division of Reel Lumber Service, showroom and warehouse at 1249 E. 63rd St., Los Angeles.

Gildon, a recently organized subsidiary of the well-known Reel Lumber, will be Southern California distributor of the Long-Bell cabinet from San Luis Obispo to the Mexican border, announced general manager, Don Reel. Other top executives include: Gil Reel, partner, Sy Miller, sales manager and E. G. Reel, president and founder of the parent firm, Reel Lumber Service.

The new warehouse, equipped with a complete inventory of the pre-assembled cabinets in either fir or select birch, permits direct vvarehouse to

dealer service, one outs@nding feature of the operation.

Another aspect outstanding in this set-up is an exclusive, patented, s_uper microseal process creating a hand rubbed eftect, which is applied to their wide variety of surface finishes. It uses heat, pressure and chemicals to bring out all the depth of beautY, satiny smoothness and luxuriant shading of the natural grain.

The cabinets are as practical as they are beautiful. Features included are: an automatic towel rack, special mixer cabinet, slide-out vegetable bins, handy utilitv cabinets, adiustable shelves in r.r'all - cabinets. slideout base cabinet shelves, lazy susan corner base cabinet, unique drawer guides, nylon and metal shelve slides, magnetic door catches and two types of end panels.

illanager bon Reed is as confident of the future of the new enterprise as he

is of the many new techniques and methods recently utilized by lumber dealers in their efiort to up-date the retail lumber yard and bring it into the home modernization field.

According to Reel, the Long-Bell kitchen cabinet should prove a highly successful item in any dealer's show room as has already been emulated by a progressive, Longview, Washington retail lumber yard, which sold 157 kitchens last year alone.

The Gildon Company will display their cabinets, May 8 to 10 at the Lumber Association of Southern California 45th Annual Meeting and Trade Show, to be held at the Lafayette Hotel, Long Beach.

With one eye towards the ladies, the lumber dealer with an eye towards the future will consider these natural wood cabinets a tremendous sales feature and asset to any shorvroom.

Growth of A Giqnt

Boise Cascade Corporation, the nation's second largest producer of softwood, has announced that it will buy the Columbia River Paper Company, largest producer of fine papers in the Western U. S., for $60 million.

R. V. Hansberger, 4l-year-old president of Boise Cascade, calis the nrove an exciting saga of corporation growth during which his firm has become one of the giants of the industry, almost unnoticed until now by many Idahoans.

The deal will put the Boise firm into a new line-fine paper. Boise Cascade now produces lumber, plywood, paper bags, cardboard packages, concrete products and textiles.

Nils G. Teren, president of Columbia Paper and Hansberger announced jointly that Boise will buy the common stock of Columbia Paper at $I.761 a share. There are 34,028 shares of Columbia and owners of 80 per cent of the stock already have accepted the offer, they said.

In 1856 Boise had three sawmills in Idaho. Now it owns 13 sawrnills in Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Colorado. It increased production of lumber by five times to achieve its commanding position in the industry. Corporation net worth is estimated at $125 million. Columbia has paper mills at Salern, Oregon and Vancouver, \Mashington.

Lumber Sorter Points Up Lumber Aufomation Growth

The lumber sorter being built by Moore Dry Kiln Co. of Portland for the Cascade Locks Lumber Co. looks something like a railroad trestle without a railroad. fts existence is additional evidence that automation is coming to the lumber business, and the traditional green chain is on the way out.

George Stress, superintendent of the small mill set in a magnificent spot in the Columbia Gorge, said three men will do the work of 11 when the sorter gets going. That probably will be in April.

The sorter was designed and is being built by Moore Dry Kiln Co. at an anticipated cost of approximately $100, 000.

From the picture it doesn't look any more like an electr,onic sorter than a green chain looks like a chain, but examination reveals that one end is perpendicular to the sa'rv mill. The other end leads to the stacker, up on a hill behind the office.

Demonstrating the sorter's intended function. Stress said the lumber will be conveyed from the sawmill to a steep incline to the top of the sorter. There it starts down inlo a maze of 25 different tracks running horizontally from one end of the sorter to the other.

The choice of tracks is determined by an electronic memory unit. "It's just a little black box," Stress said, "but it cost $12,000." Boards are directed to their proper track by gates, catches, and stops activated by the memory unit.

"It sorts them into sizes by length, width and thickness," Stress said.

At the far end of the 25 tracks. or trays, the lumber goes up another incline and over a ramD into the stacker. Here boards are stacked for the dry kiln, after being spaced by stickers to allow full air circulation.

The stacker, too, will operate electronically, and like many automated machines, it can perform more efficientlv than a human can.

"We'll get a perfectly stickered load -which is impossible by hand-that will eliminate loss in the dry kiln," Stress explained. Kiln loss results from boards that are stickered at uneven intervals.

'fhe sorter and stacker will have a capacity of 140,000 board feet a shift, which is the amount Cascade Locks Lumber is producing now on its single shift.

Weyerhaeuser Program to Combat Foreign Competition

A four-point program to avoid "irreparable competitive damage" from the squeeze on United States lumber producers by Canadian mills was made public recently by Weyerhaeuser Company, a leading Pacific Northwest lumber manufacturer.

Pointing to a 150 per cent increase in Canadian lumber sales in the United States in the last five years, Executive Vice President George H. Weyerhaettser called for immediate measures to protect the interests of producers and their employees in both countries.

The program includes:

1. Establishment of voluntary quotas on Canadian lumber exported to the United States;

2. Joint action by the lumber industries and governments of the two countries to increase export markets abroad;

3. Bilateral government action on monetary exchange rvhen the United States lumber industry is adversely affected; and

4. Establishment of rates and practices by Canadian railroads similar to those in the United States.

"More than 11 per cent of the total softrvood lumber used in the United States now comes from Canada," \&'eyerhaeuser said. "Even though the present level of Canadian imports has depressed this country's lumber market, the most significant fact is that Canada's untapped timber resources will permit a substantial increase in the future in its rate of production."

British Columbia alone could produce as much as half of United States softwood lumber requirements,'Weyerhaeuser warned. He cited Canadian g'overnrnental backing of its lumber industries as a further threat to the domestic industry. Examples include monetary exchange rates, timber stumpage prices, taxation, rail rates

and practices, wage and labor policies and governmental sales promotion activities, he said.

"With such tangible economic encouragement from government, coupled with increasing production, Canadian lumber will displace larger and larger quantities of United States-produced lumber if the present trend continues," according to the statement.

"Various suggested solutions have included the imposition of substantial tariffs, the payment of subsidies, the modification of the Jones Act to permit foreign ships to compete on intercoastal routes and the elimination of Panama Canal toll charges on United States intercoastal carriers.

"Weyerhaeuser Company traditionally has not favored higher tariffs, and in view of the Administration's announced tariff policies, any suggestion of higher tarifts at this time would probably be opposed by our own government,

"\Meyerhaeuser Company traditionally also has opposed subsidies, believing these only create further problems and do not ofter realistic, longrange solutions for this or any other similar situation. With respect to the Jones Act, while we and other domestic steamship operators are under its protection, we feel the maintenance of a sound Merchant Marine is in the broad national interest and for that reason the intent of this Act should not be abrogated. A move to eliminate Panama Canal tolls orobablv could not be expected to givl much monetary relief." the statement continued.

"While none of these suggestions appear to offer a real answer to the problem faced by the lumber industry, it is recognized that a workable solution must be found before irreparable damage is done. The four-point program

which we advocate embraces a number of suggestions which rve believe would not only be helpful but rvould generally be acceptable to the entire industry.

"'We believe a total effort on the part of the lumber industry in support of measures such as these would provide an excellent means of focusing the attention of both business and government on this problem.

"True recognition of the pressing economic circumstances should result in business and government working closely together on a program aimed at the implementation of policies of this type. This should develop understanding and more workable relations with the Canadians and a partial if not total solution of the long range lumber ex1rcrt-import problem."

Ten Yeorc of Progress

An all-new l2-page booklet, 10 Years of Progress, is announced by National Building Material Distributors Associaton.

The booklet traces the Association's rapid growth pace during its first l0 years, pointing out how various services and activities have been undertaken to meet the ever changing needs of the wholesale building material distributor industry, according to S. M. Van Kirk, general manager.

Los Angeles Committee Organizes for '62 Nafional Forest Products Week

The Los Angeles Committee for National Forest Products Week held its first meeting of the 1962 year, March 14, at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce Building.

National Forest Proclucts Week this year will be observed October 2l-27.

First order of business was the election of new officers for the current year's wood promotion. Prominent lumberman Dee Essley, D. C. Essley and Son, Los Angeles, accepted the head spot, replacing the retiring Wayne Mullin, Mullin Lumber Company, Los Angeles, who with co-chairman Jim Forgie did such an outstanding job in 1961. Jim, of the Robert S. Osgood firm, Los Angeles, agreed to continue as co-chairman this year.

Elected to the important post of treasurer was Leonard Crofoot, Davidson-Western Plywood, Los Angeles. George Scrim of the Philippine Mahogany Association, South Pasadena, continues as secretary.

Discussion o.n plans for '62 was opened by Dee Essley, who pointed out the fine material that Hoo-Hoo rvas putting out in support of wood promotion. Hoo-Hoo will again be

solidly behind the project. He also called attention to the great job that the Vancouver Hoo-Hoo Club did last year.

union interest and support be awakened to the importance of wood promotion.

Suggestion was also made that greater retailer interest be solicited-in order that the message of wood prornotion be brought directly to the pub- lic-to the retailers' point-of-purchase counters.

A motion was made and approved that a luncheon meeting spearheading the "Week" again be held at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce Build!ng; suitable date, preferably Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, to be deterrnined by the availability of accomrnodations.

Among those present, in addition to the afore-mentioned officers. were: E,lmer F. Osterman, Harold Cole. Tohn Anderson, Fred Comstock, Frank- Daluiso, Ole May and Don Dick.

Dee Essley announced that, from the tentative suggestions brought forth by the discussion, he would draw up a tentative program which he would submit at the committee's next meeting, April 11.

i\fany suggestions were made for "The Week's" promotion, some of a very ambitious nature, but it was concluded that the program would best succeed, at least presently, if kept on a local level. It was suggested that union representatives be invited to sit in on the committee meetings, that

New Forest Reseorch Progrom

A new Forest Service research program dealing with the management of young-growth timber and planted stands will be headquartered at Redding, it has been announced by Dr. Keith Arnold, director of the U.S. Forest Service experiment station at Berkeley.

"The Redding-Red Bluff area has become a major industrial center for forest industries in the area tributary to the Sacramento Vallev." Dr. Arnold said. "Because young giowth timber will be increasingly important to the economy of this area, we are specially

pleased to be able to start this new program."

Dr. Robert M. Echols, research forester with several years' experience in the Forest Service and the U.S. Department of Agriculture will be program leader.

Dr. Echols conducted research on planting, early growth, and genetics of pines at the Southeastern and Southern Forest Experiment Stations of the Forest Service in 1954 and 1955 and from 1957 to 1960. In 1956 he served as assistant professor of forestry at Arkansas A & M College. His most recent assignment has been

ACTS ILOSOPHY

Speoking of Toxes

Someone, we don't know rvho, has prepared a number of famous remarks on the subject of taxes, beginning four thousand years back. Here they are:

"If I toil it is snatched away flem ms."-Babylonian Proverb, 2200 B.C.

"We are all fleeced."-Luculius,129 B.C.

"In this world nothing is certain but death a1d fa;s5."B. Franklin. 1789.

"The power to tax involves the power to destroy."-Chief Justice John Marshall, 1819.

"The average taxpayer is no more capable of a 'grand passion' than a grand opera."-Israel Zangwill, 1908.

"An income tax form is like a laundrv list-either wav you lose your shirt."-Fred Allen, 1945.-

"And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed."

-St. Luke, 2-1.

Excise: "A hateful tax levied upon commodities, and adjudged by wretches hired by those to whom excise is paid."

-Samuel Johnson,1775.

"The tendency of taxation is to take from those who labor, and give it to those who do n6f l2fe1."-Wm. Corbett, 1811.

"Suppose the citizen is taxed by the general government to the utmost extent of his ability to pay, and the state imposes a tax at the same time, which authority is to take it."

-Henry Clay, 1824.

"Taxation policy must aim at the process of accumulating

resources by means of direct taxation of property and income."-Eleventh Congress of the Communist Party, 1922.

Truth

trvil is unnatural-goodness is the natural state of man. Earth has no hopeless islands or continents. We live in a redemptive rvorld. Poverty will end, sin will die, love will triumph, and hope will plant flowers on every grave.

David Swing.

A Foirhful Dog

My merry-hearted comrade, in a day, Gave over all his mirth, and went away. Upon the darksome jo,urney I must face Some time as u'ell. Each hour I miss his grace, His meek obedience, and his constancy. Never again will he look up to me, With loyal eyes, nor leap for my caress

As one who lvished not to be master-less. And never shall I hear his pleading bark

Outside the door, when all the ways gro'iv dark, Bidding the housefolk gather close inside. It seems a cruel thing since he has died, To make his mem<lry small, or deem it sin

To reckon such a friend as less,9fr:?"rd Burton.

Loymen in Forest Pcrhology

Hoil Book in Third Edition

"Forest Pathology" by John S. Boyce, now revised and updated for the third edition is still acknowledged as one of the leading texts and reference books for the non-professional, in the study of tree disease, its causes and prevention.

With the exception of new appendices for F'ungicides and A List of Common Names of Plants Used with Scientific Equivalents, the 2l chapters conform to the order of the orevious edition.

"Forest Pathology" is ttnique, states an authority, for "Years of experience in forest pathology as an investigator and teacher have convinced the author that a book on tree disease based on the parts of the tree affected as rvell as on the tree species, with the sequence of diseases caused by pathogens roughly following the life of the tree from the seedling stage to maturity, is the most practical. For those who have received no formal instruction in forest pathology, it is relatively simple to find information in a book on tree diseases based on the part of the tree affected, but if it is necessary to know first the name, or at least the relative taxonomic position of an organism, the search often becomes difficult."

Foirwoys News

The Second Annual Invitational of Dubs, Ltd., was staged on Friday, March 16, at the Peninsula Country Club, San l\4ateo, with 57 players participating. Each member had the option of selecting his partner from players outside of the Dubs membership, and each played on his own handicap. First prize was a green jacket similar to the Augusta Masters jacket, one to each member of the winning twosome. Runner-ups earned shirts, sweaters and socks. Peninsula's Bud Fox hosted the meet and also supplied the prize jackets from his shop.

Lo'rv net winners of the tournament were Raloh Bowman and Bob Boldt (59), but since Ralph won a jacliet last year he generously volunteered to drop his team to second place. The jackets, therefore, went to Dusty Destruel and Andy Shepard, holders of a 61 scorecard.

Other prizes went to Bud Carrol and Jim Carrol (63), Bill Bonnell and Bud Fox (63), Al Soulages and Al Trabert (64), Bill Freeland and Paul Gaboury (64), Ben Ward and Bob Butcher (65), Bob Cheim and Bud Olsen (65), Emie Pieper and Bill Dickman (66), and Fred Ziese and T. Osborne (66).

The next Dubs tournament will be played on the Silverado Country Club course up Napa way on April 20, accordirrg to Dubs prexy Wendell Paquette.

Couldn't Plqce Him

It is a well proven fact that in all the world's history of famous men there rvas probably no greater master of the art of sarcasm than the late Sir Henry Irving, England's greatest actor. During the latter part of his life the great tragedian enjoyed a position of despotic power such as no other actor in history has ever known.

The story goes that when Beerbohm Tree came into prominence on the English stage, it was a thorn in his flesh that Irving never accorded him the slightest notice, lrever came to see him act, and never acknowledged his existence in any manner. Finally Mr. Tree decided that if he could force Sir Henry to see him act, he would be bound to acknowledge his worth. So he took the bull by the horns, and sent the famous actor an invitation to come and occupy a box on a certain night, and see Mr. Tree play "King Herod."

To Tree's delight, Sir Henry came, accompanied by his usual retinue. He occupied a front box, and sat with immobile face during the entire performance, lvatching it through his long, slim fingers. When the curtain fell, Mr. Tree stepped from the stage, still in costume, to Sir Henrv's box, bade him welcome, and thanked him for coming. Then he made a grave error, as he asked: "And how did you like my rendition ?"

Sir Hen.y looked at him in a ptzzled way, and,asked in most polite manner: "Oh yes ! Oh yes ! And which were you ?"

- Indignantly Mr. Tree thundered: "Sir, I was King Herod." "Oh-yes, yes, indeed," said Sir Henry. "And which r,r'as he ?"

Weyerhoeuser Announces New primed Wood Siding to Cut Building Cosrs

.Starting April 1, Weyerhaeuser Company will produce a new primed wood siding to assure long-lasting beauty for the exterior of homes and bring lower building costs.

The superior baked-on prime coat will carry a money-back guarantee against blistering or peeling, the firm's first written warranty for this type of product.

Announcement of the new product was rnade by Alan T. Smith, Weyerhaeuser manager of softwood lumber products with Tacoma, Wash., headquarters. .,New primewood bevel siding has been developed expressly to nreet building needs," Smith said. "It is genuine wood siding, all vertical grain, with an improved-formula factory-applied

primer that is compatible with all finish paints.

"The new primed wood siding will be priced to. cost less in place than substitute materials."

It will be supplied in lengths most convenient for builders to minimize on-the-job cutting and reduce application costs. "The new primer assures lower maintenance since it is a proved superior base for finish paints, is app'lied in uniform thickness and protects siding until final painting," Smith added.

The advanced building material is a direct result of the company's new marketing emphasis to "tailor products to customer demands rather than merelv oroduce commodi-

ty lumber," according to the spokesman. It can be identified by its light bufi color and a continuous brand along the lap edge, a guideline that also speeds installation.

Priming of the selected wood bevel siding will be by a specially designed and highly automated plarrt at Longview, Wash., now ready for full production after rnore than a year of development operation.

The new siding will be packaged in units convenient to handle and store. 'Ihe protective wrapping of special polyethylene laminated paper is vapor-proof, water-proof, completely sealed against dust and displays the Weyerhaeuser mark of quality for added sales appeal.

New Redwood Priming

To Cut Construction Gosts

A new pigment-primed redwood siding, designed to save up to three days of painting and drying time during home construction, has been announced by Georgia-Pacific Corp.

Full-scale production started in March for nationwide distribution. In addition to verticrl grain clear bevel siding, the new priming also will be applied to routed and finger-jointed fascia boards, the company said.

The tested factory process includes back and brrrt sealing as well as a smooth 2-mil baked-on face coat that requires only one on-site finishing coat. Thc primed line will be wrapped in bundles with the individual boards slip-sheeted as added protection.

To soeed bad-weather construction, the

new siding can be left "as is" for up to months before the on-site final paint coat applied, G-P said.

ls

The smooth off-white coating is built up by a spray process at the factory, then is baked in infra-red ovens to insure long paint life.

Savings of up to one-third in paint and labor costs compared with ordinary on-site painting are claimed for the new redwood product.

G-P also indicated it is continuing its clear-sealer factory coating operation, which manufactures clear VG redwood bevel siding for natural, stained or painted construction uses.

TECO Announces Avcilobility of New Froming Anchor Design Folder

Tree Fqrm Forestry Notes 2Oth year, Soys C-Z Oftlciol

Tree farm forestry, one of the major conservation efforts of the century, celebrated its 20th anniversary during 1961 with more than 56 million acres of private forest lands enrolled in the voluntary program, according to Peter T. Sinclair, executive vice-president of Crown Zellerbach Corp.

Sinclair is also a member of trustees of American Forest Products Industries, Inc., national sponsors of the American Tree Farm System.

"Tree farming started in 7941 in the state of Washington with an initial enrollment of the 120,000-acre Clemons Tree Farm. In 20 years," Sinclair said, "it has become nationally recognized for pro- viding sound forest management on privately owned, tax producing forest lands in the United States."

The American Tree Farm System includes memberships in 47 ol the 50 states, with only Alaska, Hawaii, and Kansas not enrolled. Principals in the forest products industry of Canada have recently adopted the program and have extended the benefits of tree farming to the private owners of that nation.

"California," Sinclair said, "ranks 1Oth among the states with nearly 3 million acres enrolled in the program." In the Redwood Regiorr of California where tree farming is administered by the California Redwood Assn., 117 individual tree farms include 634,140 acres.

In_-tfre Pine Region of California, the program is administeted by the Western Pine Assn. with 2,206,096 acres certified to 22g individual owners.

"The success of the tree farm idea can be attributed to its appeal to people from all walks of life who own forest lands, and -inage these lands for continuous tree crops, at a profit.

"Not only is the forest industry of California and the nation suo- porting the progrant but teachers, doctors, servicemen, foresteis themselves from both government and private forestry organiza- tions, white collar lvorkers and laborers-among many ttheri-find tree farming rewarding and an enjoyable investment."

A tree farm is an area lvhich is either natural forest, or one which has been planted to trees. Under the American Tree Farm System, there are simple requirements which each tree farm must observe, Sinclair said.

_ The first requirement is that the acreage must be in private ownership, paying taxes, and mar.iage<i in such a manner that continuous tree crops can be harvested by the owner at a profit.

_.Secondly, the tree farmer must be protected from fire, insects, disease and other natural hazards. The third requirement siates thai there can be no grazing of livestock where the commercial forest area would be damaged by this form of use.

Wood Preservotives Increose

The 1960 Wood Preservation Statistics, compiled by Gordon D. Merrick of the U. S. Forest Service, show an increase of 1.6 million cubic feet of material treated with preservatives and fire retardants over the 1959 totals. The survey included information on the pro- duction activity of 359 wood-preserving plants, of which 274 luse pressure processes, 57 non-pressure processes and 28 are equipped for oth types of treatment.

During 1960, 93 percent of the total volume of. 216.1 million cubic feet of material was treated by pressure processes. While the use of straight creosote decreased, use of creosote-coal tar solutions increased nearly 8 million gallons or 26 percent. Creosote or creosote solutions were used for 70 percent of the material treated, petroleum- pentachlorophenol for l9 percent and creosote-pentachlorophenol solution for 4 percent. All other preservatives and fire retardants were used for 7 percent of the material. Material given fire retardant treatment totaled approximately 1.2 million cubic feet, an increase of 14 percent over 1959.

The production of crossties and poles increased slightly (2 per- cent), but-the proportions of other materials were approximately-the same as 1959; lumber and timbers, 18 percent; piling, g perient; fence posts, 6 percent; switch ties and crossarms, e"ch 2 petcenti and miscellaneous materials, 3 percent.

The use of liquid preservatives in 1960 totaled 196,000,562 gallons, a 2 percent increase, and consumption of solid preservatives wai 23,292,236 pounds, representing a decrease of 5 percent.

Compilation of the Wood Preservation Statistics is made oossible by the cooperation of the wood treating plants that furnish the basic data.

A 55-year.old match factory built of California redwood still stands in Mazatlan, Mexico, although other wooden buildings in the area are soon ravaged -by termites and decay.

Almost everyone is on the reducing craze...while I'm so skinny I have to take expansion pills.

Non-Toxic Chemicol Shqrpens Files, Cuts Cost by Two-Thirds

An industry-proved new file-sharpening chemical is making its debut in industry, in the United States and abroad.

CHEM-TECH Corporation, of Bellevue, Washington, introduced the non-toxic chemical-Kem-Kut-into industry throughout the Pacific Northwest early in 1961. The response has been 100 per cent acceptance for the "in-plant" sharpening method.

The J. M. Kniseley Engineering Co., of Seattle, independent testing laboratory, summarized its testing results this way:

1. "Kem-Kut" is non-toxic material and can be used under normal ventilation and safety conditions.

2. Under recommended "Kem-Kut" use conditions, file rinse solutions can be washed into sewer systems without harm to the systems.

3. The "Kem-Kut" sharpening action takes place at room temperature, requiring no external heating.

"The test results indicate that the chemical components of "Kem-Kut" are such that they aid in the formation of a straight, sharp, cutting edge in contrast to the ragged cutting edge formed by other acid mixtures," the Kniseley report concluded.

CHEM-TECH president and technical director, Paul J. Topelian, explains that the Kem-Kut of sharpening files costs roughly one cent per running inch of file. As an "in-plant" operation, it does away with costly shipping and therefore sharply reduces inventory requirements.

"No costly special disposal and exhaust systems are needed to use Kem-Kut in the plant," Topelian said.

FOR COilPLETE TNFORMATIOI{: ln the loc Angeles area, call Ed Hearne, R Edwood 7 -6681 , Corona. In San Diego & lmperial Counties, phone Solana Cedar & Milling Co., BElmont 2-7681 or SKyline 5-9364.

"Solana Brand" is the trademark of genuine "Cabotized" Pre-Stained Cedar Siding manufactured by:

SOLANA CEDAR & MILLING COMPANY

Solana Beach California

He said the steps in the sharpening operation are simple.

The files are first wire-brushed to remove all foreign material, then immersed in the Kem-Kut solution for 30 minutes, at room ternperature. When time is up, the file is rinsed thoroughly with tap water, then immersed in CHEM-TECH's rust inhibitor, CT-28, agitating s1ightly.

"One of the most amazing features of Kem-Kut is that it does not change the pitch angle of the cutting edges," Topelian declared.

A Northwest aircraft and missile manufacturer's research and development report showed that files re-sharpened by Kem-Kut out-perform vendor re-sharpened files by a ratio greater than 2 to 1.

"While Kem-Kut is basically acidic," Topelian said, "the solution will not burn the skin as could be expected from solutions made from Sulfuric and Nitric acids."

"Further, Kem-Kut will not evaporate or deteriorate in storage, nor is freezing harmful. As with all CHEM-TECH products, effective and safe performance is part of the basic chemical formulation."

In the process of sharpening, Kem-Kut uniformly etches only I to lrl mils from the file surface, thus allowing the file teeth to retain their designed pitch and rake angles without loss of clearance depths.

"Many industrial users have re-shar'pened the same files as many as three times," Topelian added.

Durqflqke Now with Extra Super-Smooth Surfoce

An extra super-smooth surface is put on Duraflake, the wood-formed

manufactured by the Duraflake Company at Albany, Oregon, with the recent installation of a giant 35-ton Smithway sander. The Duraflake Company is an operating division of the Wood Fibreboard Company.

The superior surface allows the use of the thinnest types of overlayment materials and prevents any chance of telegraphing, reports W. W. Affolter, Wood Fibreboard sales manager. The sander guarantees a.003 of an inch plus or minus tolerance.

"We have reports from some customers," Affolter said, "that they now are painting Duraflake with no pre-filling because the surface is so smooth. The new sander is another part of our continuing program to manufacture the best product possible. This machine sizes and sands such an improved finish on Duraflake that all dangers of revolution marks are eliminated."

Duraflake and Duraflake Underlayment have many uses. Duraflake has been popular with cabinet, furniture, door, toys, etc., manufacturers, because it will not telegraph through any veneer or chemically-impregnated paper.

Afiolter said there are only five Smithway heavy duty four-belt sanders operating in the United States. Smithway's four wide belts make this the largest and fastest sander in the world, he said.

With a guaranteee of a plus or minus tolerance of .003 inches, the machine is reported twice as accurate as any equipment on the market. Also, the Smithway will sand stock up to 61 inches in width, or one inch wider than any machine built so far.

The huge sander is a product of Smithway being Machine Co., Seattle, Washington. The cost board was more than $70,000.

Srudy tlqde on Wood Used in Home Building

The United States Forest Service is making a series of studies to obtain detailed information on the amounts and kinds of wood used in residential construction.

The first of the series is a study of woo<i used in houses inspected by the Federal Housing Administration during 1959. As part of this st'udy, approximately 170,000 new single-family detached houses were classified according to type of foundation and exterior wall construction, these being two characteristics known to affect the amounts and kinds of wood used in a house.

This classification was used to determine the distribution of house construction types within each of seven geographical regions. The results were made public onlv last month.

Seven out of 10 houses represented by the sample were of wood frame construction. One house out of five was classed as having lumber, plywood, fiberboard, or wood shake or shingle siding. In the Southwest, South Atlantic, and Gulf States, 95 per cent of the siding was non-wood.

In five out of seven regions, most of the new houses had a basement or a "crawl space." This ratio also applied to floor support systems made largely out of wood. In the Southwest and Gulf States regions, however, most houses were built on a concrete slab. Nationwide, four out of every l0 houses, represented by the study sample, were built on a slab.

When the study is completed, information will be available for those wishing to learn the amounts and kinds of timber products used in building homes.

The covered wood bridges built in many parts of the United States throughout the l9th century were, for obvious reasons' known as "kissing bridges." Wood bridges are still being built on secondary roads throughout the nation. The development of modern preservative chemicals, which protect the structure against moisture and other weather damage, have now largely eliminated the need to cover wood bridges.

Wood Poneling Avoilcrble For All Homes

Americans in 196l bought a near-record 1.9 billion square feet of hardwood wall paneling-enough to circle the world 15 times or build 125 eight-foot fences around the sprawling state of Texas.

This is more than double the paneling homeowners bought a mere decade ago.

Once considered a prerogative of the rich, genuine wood paneling belongs today to the great masses of Americans. Available in a wide range of colors, shapes and sizes, it can now be purchased for as little as 12 cents a square f oot-or as much as 75 cents. Ten years ago the average wood paneling was more expensive than the highest of these two extfemes.

Because of its wide abundance and comparatively low present day cost, rlany homeowners rank paneling alongside fireplaces and outdoor living areas as a housing "must"something to be specified even at the expense of other modern conveniences.

What accounts for this abrupt rise in popularity of wall paneling?

"People have always appteciated and wanted hardwood wall paneling but only a few coulcl afford it before now," explained Martin Shea, sales manager of E. L. Bruce PlyWelsh Co., Memphis, Tentr., one of the many firms that have sproutecl in the wake of the paneling cra.ze.

Shea said three factors had combined since World War II to bring paneling prices within reach of almost anyone: the advent of rotary-cut hardwood veneet:s, the development of factory finishing processes, and an increase in imported plywoods frot.n other lands.

Before World War II, horrteowners wishing to ornament their homes with the subtle tones of wood perforce cliose solid wood wall paneling-the only kind then readily available.

Sawn from carefully-selected, high-priced logs, these walls were too expensive for the average householder. Available onlf in plank form, thgy were tedious and costly to install and more often than not rcquired thc services of a professional cabinet tnaker. IIence only the wealthy could afford paneled walls.

A new process was perfected in the early forties wherebl. sheets of veneer-thin slices of decorative woocl one twenty-eighth of arr inch thick-were peeled off logs much as you would peel a potato. Glued to a base of less expensive material, the thin veneer layer revolutionized the paneling industry and brought wood wall paneling within the buying range of most householders.

Even the clumsiest ltomeon'ner coultl install these four by eight panels, but he still had to finish them-or else pay someone to do the job.

To overcome this marketing obstacle, wall paneling manufacturers in 1945 devised an elaborate prefinishing apparatus to sand, sea1, finish and even wax the panels.

Although slightly higher than unfinished paneling in initial cost, the factory-finished panels eliminated the cost and labor of finishing on the job site. Installation then became simple and easy.

The importation of low-priced foreign hardwood, especially from Japan and the Philippines, brought modern-day wood paneling to its present inexpensive price level.

An average-size l0 by 12 foot room be paneled irr Philippine mahogar.ry by

homeowner for less than $100. The same amount of pre-war solid wood paneling would cost at least $200 in materials alone.

tr4ost of the larger manuf acturers now offer a complete paneling package. First introduced by Bruce PlyWelsh, this package includes not only prefinished paneling, but rrroldings color-matched to the panels themselves. Putty pencils to seal off nail holes and even stains and finishes for built-ins and accessory woodwork complete the kit.

Assisted by these accouterments and simplified installation techniques, almost any homeowner handy with a saw and hammer can palrel a room in less than a day.

Most panels come in three standard sizes -four by seven feet, four by eight feet, and four by 10 feet. They can be nailed to wall studding in new buildings, or cemented to plaster walls in existing structures.

Most manufacturers offer a wide selection of species-birch, walnut, cherry, oak, pine, elm, ash, butternut, pecan and, of course, foreign mahogany. The latter species is sold under names such as manila bataan and sandalwood.

WRCtiA Adds Administrqtive Assistant For Clinics ond Liqison

Rober't M. Zofrel has been named as an administrative assist,ant for the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association it was recently announced in Seattle, Washington by WRCLA Secretary-Manager, D,onald W. Pleier.

According to Pleier, Zoffel fills a new position made n€cessary by the cedar association's recent set-up in field promotion activities and related service,s. Chief among these activities is the "Cedar Clinic" program launched by the association early in 1961 and condu'cted in the field by WRCLA field men.

Says Pleier, "Our new clinic program has proved so popular among builders, retailers, designers and wholesalers that it has created

an unexpected, but very pleasant, administrative traffic problem for us. Couple this with increased activity in collating, evaluating and disseminating cedar marketing information for our association members and their customers-information made available to us as a resul,t of our more vigorous field program-and you can see why we are happy to welcome the addition of Bob Zoffel to our Seattle staff."

A 30 year old native of Seattle, and son of a forester, Zoffel spent many of his boy- hood years living in Northwest logging camps. Prior to joining WRCLA he was with the Seattle division of Kaiser Gypsum Company and before that with the credit department of Standard Oil of California.

After graduating from the University of Washington, in Political Science, he played

a year of rprofessional baseball before serving in the U. S. Navy for two years.

New lmprinting fflochine Announced

A new, single-plate imprinting machine using metal address plates has been announced by Addressing Machine Company of California, Inc., 667 Mission St., San Francisco 5, California.

The machine is called the Model 101 QuikPrinter and takes one plate at a time, inserted from the front. After the plate has been imprinted on forms, a button is pressed and the plate pops out of the machine into the palm of the operator. The plate is then dropped back into file.

The machine is used for imprinting rvork of all kinds and is ideal for recording "overthe-counter" sales. At the time of sale, the customer's plate is used to head up the invoice, recording legibly and accurately the proper account name, account number, address and other data needed to complete the sale and bill it.

Excellent carbon copies are produced with the machine. It prints through snap-out sets of forms. The original copy is the best copy --ribbon printed.

Use of plates at the sales counter also provide complete credit control-no plate, no credit. Credit limits may also be coded on the plates.

For all order writing systems, use of the embossed plates accomplishes many things. Whether orders are hand-written by salesmen in the field; hand-written by order clerks at the telephone or received by mail, they can then be imprinted from plates which will insure accuracy and legibility.

When orders are validated and certified with the plate impression, the charge is made to the right accountr eliminating several accounts with slightly difterent names for the

same firm. The account number is printed on the form with the plate and if perforated tape or punched cards are later used and prepared from the sales do'cument, the keypunch operator works from an absolutely correct and legible account number.

Credit limits, when shown on the plate, save "look-up" time in the credit department. Parcel post zones, routings and ship- ping instructions on the plate save "lookup" time in the shipping department. County numbers, territory numbers, salesmen numbers and similar data, when prin'ted on the order form with the plate, save "lookup" time later when distributing sales, analyzing accounts and paying sales commissions.

Imprinters are used in hospital wards to record patient data on forms of all kinds. Over 600 Model 101 Quik-Printers are now in use in the wards of California State Hospitals.

Over 30 different models of the new machine are available; one to handle any one of the commonly used styles of plates-any kind or size. Some models have features for dating forms 'from a rotary wheel dater and printing a ranch, department, ward or station name and number simultaneously with the printing of the customer plate.

In some models, the plate is inserted top edge first; in other models, the bottom edge of the plate is inserted first. When five or more machines are purchased at one time for use by the same firm, quantity discounts are applicable. Complete details are available on request from the manufacturer.

Losting Weotherprooft ng Of Wood ilode Eosy

A clear non-toxic liquid chemical that penetrates and integrates into the fibrous

body of wood to preserve it against the attacks of moisture is now being marketed by Houston Waterp,roofing Manufacturing Company of Alhambra, California, a division of Houston Chemicals, Inc.

Known as Houston #3, the liquid leaves nothing on wood surfaces to interfere with the bonding of paint or other decorative finishes. Finish of paint can be applied directly without additional priming.

Houston #3 eliminates or greatly retards end checking, swelling, wraping, grain raising, and protects plywood from moisturecaused delamination.

Literature, specifications, and applications information can be obtained by writing Houston Waterproofing Manufacturing Co., 712 South Marengo Avenue, Alhambra, California.

Steel Protected By Redwoodt

Steel groinwork on a beach in Santa Barbara, California, has been deteriorated so badly by seawater that it had to be pro' tected by more durable redwood timbers. Redwood was chosen because its natural resistance to decay will give it many years of useful life despite the intermittent soaking by surf.

The groinwork on East Beach was originally installed to reduce beach erosion. The steel deteriorated so that jagged edges were a hazard, to people using the beach. The Santa Barbara street department attempted to remove the steel sheet by jetting with water. without success.

Park Superintendent Orval Bond then decided to protect the groinwork with redwood timbers so that it could continue functioning as protection against erosion, while ceasing to be a hazard to bathers.

OBITUAAIIS

Eric Lundbcrg, 46, one of the owners and the general manager of Florin Box and Lumber Company, Florin, California, died of a heart attack Monday evening, March 26.

'fhe coroner's office reported tlat Lundberg knocked at the door of a home at 7326

Hedge Avenue and then collapsed on thc porch. A Florin Fire Department rescue squad, summoned to the scene, applied a resuscitator and then took Lundberg to the Sacramento Hospital where a physician pronounced him dead. He had been under the care of a physician because of a heart ailment.

Born in Canada, Lundberg had lived in the Sacramento area 40 years. He was a graduate of Sacramento H,igh School and Sacramento Junior College.

A Boy Scout commissioner in the Pioneer District of the Golden Empire Council, Lundberg was also a mem'ber of the Florin Chamber of Commerce.

Mr. Lundberg leaves hi-s wife, Gertrude of their home at 7367 West Parkway, Parkway Estates; three children, Lois L., Margaret Ann and Fred Lundberg; and three brothers, Gust Lundberg of Key West, Florida, Henry Lundberg of Roseville, and George Lundberg of San Francisco.

Wood Conversion R.eseqrch ond Development Deportmenl Moves Into New Reseorch Cenler

Wood Conversion Company, Saint Paul, Minnesota, has moved its entire Research and Development Department into a new Research Center in suburban Roseville. The department is occupying 44,000 square feet of floor space in the Saint Paul Terminal 'Warehouse Company's nerv $2 million building, which also houses certain manufacturing operations of Remington Rand Univac.

Besides bringing the research wing closer to corporate headquarters in Saint Paul, the move to the new center will permit the company to coordinate all of its research work at one location. Formerly, research activities were carried out at both Saint Paul and Cloquet, Minnesota, the company's main manufacturing plant. Another reason for relocating the center in proximity to both Minneapolis and Saint Paul is the opportunity it gives for associating with other technical people in an area that is fast becoming an important national technical center. Of the 45 employees in the Research and Development Department, half are at the professional level.

The center contains a large number of chemical and physical laboratories and shops, as well as pilot plant operations. Specializing, as the company does, in acoustical materials for architectural and automotive applications, it has incorporated in the center one of the best equipped acoustical laboratories in the country. For example, it includes a reverberation chamber mounted on springs, where sound characteristics can be measured without picking up extraneous sounds or vibrations from other sources.

According to the director of Research and

Development, Paul J. McGervey, the center will be more concerned with long range products and new product development than it will with work on existing products.

The company specializes in fiber technology, using both mineral and cellulose fibers as raw materials in its line of insulation board products for the building industry. In addition, it produces cellulose cushioning products for automotive, packaging, and furniture applications. In a move to further diversify the company's product mix, Wood Conversion Company acquired Sonic Engine'ering Corporation of Stanford, Connecticut last June. This wholly owned subsidiary manufactures ultrasonic equipment for use in the food processing and chemical industries.

The company has two manufacturing plants: one at Cloquet, Minnesota, and the other at Riverside, New Jersey. In addition, it has a fabricating division with three plants in the southeast.

Retirement Housing Film ls Avqilsble From DFPA

A horv-to-do-it film for builders and lumber dealers interested in entering the retirement home market is being made available by Douglas Fir Plywood Association, which produced the fi1m for a special section on retirement housing at the 1961 convention of the National Association of l{ome Builders.

Copies of the 16 mm sound movie may be borrowed from the DFPA Special Projects Department, 1119 A Street, Taconta 2, Wash.

Carl T. Mitnick, one of the nation's biggest

builders for this market outside the sun belt, and Dan Grady, associated with Nels Severin in Palm City and other retirenrent communities, appear in the film. Both Mitnick and Severin are past presidents of the NAHB and both are building House of Freedom, a retirement home developed by the plywood association in cooperation with a panel of housing experts and the National Association of Retired Persons.

Ivfitnick and Grady outline the nrarket and trace the development of marketing programs aimed at the over-5O home buyer. Mitnick describes the results of his House of Freedom promotion, which he says was more successful than "anything we dreamt of."

The film also gives information on where builders and dealers can obtain information on this market, on homes designed to meet its special needs and on special marketing techniques.

Mc0oud Lumber Co.

Weyerhoeuser Soles Hit Record High

TACOMA, Wash.Weyerhaeuser Company sold a record high volume of its lumber, paper and allied products during 1961, but made less money because of lower prices, according to the annual report issued to shareholders.

Sales amounted to $491,641,000 for a seven per cent increase over 1960. Net income was $36,637,000, compared with $47,751,000 a year earlier. Earnings per share were down from $1.59 to $1.22, though quarterly dividends remained at the customary rate of 30 cen-ts.

President Norton Clapp told the firm's 14,900 shareholders that in the "strongly competitive" year of 1961, more people bought more Weyerhaeuser products than ever before, but at lower prices.

Softwood plywood sales jumped 45 per cent in dollar volume over 19{i0, while hardboard, particleboard and veneer boards showed a similar rise. The company recorded a 10 per cen,t gain in sales of pulp, paper and paperboard and a 2 per cent rise in containers and cartons. The dollar value of lumber sales drop6led 8 per cent, primarily because of lower prices. In common with other West Coast lumber producers, Weyerhaeuser stated it felt the pressure of increased Canadian competition.

Further steps toward the manufacture of more end products in company-owned plants were taken in 1961, Clapp said, with the acquisition of Hamilton Paper Company. New shipping container plants were built in 6ve cities across the country.

The year saw a complete reorganization of the firm's wood products marketing structure, the report stated, which will bring faster, more personalized service. An increased emphasis on research activities was syrnbolized by a substantial addition to the Longview, Wash., technical center.

Several new wood-based products were introduced, including three new chemicals from Douglas fir bark.

Weyerhaeuser's activity overseas continued in 1961 with the opening of a new shipping container plant at Ghlin, Belgium, and acquisition of an interest in a major producer of folding cartons and printing specialties in Munich, Germany.

Recovery from last year's industry-wide low prices and profit margins may be slow in coming, the report said, but 'Weyerhaeuser expects its "new and improved products and services to fully share in the expanding markets of the future."

Losco Develops First Ploslic lleler Yoke for Woter Meter lnstollotions

Lasco Industries, Montebello, Calif., producer of plastic pipe and conduit, announced development of the first plastic yoke for use in water meter installations.

Roy Eastman, vice president-sales for plastic pipe, said the yoke has the National Sanitation Foundation's approval for carrying drinking water and has been placed in production for water utility company applications.

The first order for 500 yokes has been shipped to Miraflores Water Co., Santa Maria, Calif., according to Eastman.

Constructed of ABS extruded rigid plastic pipe, it eliminates corrosion, electrolysis and other causes of metal pipe failure, is lighter than metal and more economically installed, Eastman said.

He said the yoke will withstand working pressures rp to 240 psi and quick burst pressures up to 1,200psi.

Yokes are used to bypass obstruction between the water main and point of service and to situate the meter when there are differences in elevation between these points.

Each yoke includes another Lasco development-a plastic universal stop valve which eliminates the need for heavier metal valves. It is designed to function as a corporation, curb, angle or service ,type stop, Eastman said.

Lasco, a publicly owned company, also is a leading producer of fiberglass building panels and chemicals.

Lominoling Fllm for Wood Discovered by Accident

Pure accident has often been the teammate of great industrial progress. History records that the accidental discovery of vulcanization by Charles Goodyear launched the giant tire and rubber industry of today. And a century later in like manner, the company named after this pioneer chemist chanced on a unique laminating film for surfacing woods while searching for a new tire cord.

Called Videne, the film is derived from polyester resins developed during World War II when The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company was seeking a new fiber for tire cord. Essentially produced from petroleum, air and water, some of the polyester resins had interesting fiber-forming characteristics while others possessed unique film-forming qualities.

Chemically, Videne is an extruded unoriented polyester film which is thermoplastic. Unlike other plastic films it "stays put," with no shrinkage and will not cr^ze or crack with age. With a companion polyester coating it can be laminated under heat and pressure to any wood or wood composition materials in a one step process. Videne eliminates the necessity for multiple coatings ty,pical of ordinary prefinishing operations. No catalyst or cure time is necessary.

The film is produced in rolls, in widths up to 54 inches, in either a clear type for high gloss finishes, in a satin type for low gloss or matte finishes and in opaque colors. Gauges run from 1.5 to 5.0 mils.

Videne's built-in gloss varies from a soft matte finish to glossy sheen depending on temperatures and lamination techniques employed. On virgin woods as shown in Weldwood Permagard the clear Videne film brings out the natural wood grain pattern. To achieve special decorative efiects on inexpensive plywood and composition board Videne can be reverse-printed with rotogravure, silk screen, flexograph or other conventional processes.

Videne is laminated to plywood with specially developed high speed rotary laminating equipment. After processing, Videne wood laminates can be cut, dried, sawed, drilled and shaped with regular wood working equipment.

Forecasting a bright future for Weldwood Permagard, Goodyear officials predict that "Videne laminated products have opened a new chapter in the historic development of orefinished surfaces for panelling, kitchen cabinets. furniture and store fixtures."
