L. A. Second ln Notionql Building Boom

The 987,458,675 worth of building permits issued in Los Angeles in the first quarter of this year continued this city's high national building position.

The Los Angeles total exceeded by $5,982,455 the combined totals of Chicago and Philadelphia for that period and went $61,384,038 ahead of the Detroit amount, according to comparisons drawn from a compilation by Dun & Bradstreet, fnc., of the 25 American cities with the largest permit valuations for the three months.

New York (with five counties or boroughs including Brooklyn) reported a three-month total of 9182,161,887. The valuation of permits issued in the first quarter of 1954 by the city of Los Angeles plus the permit valuation reported by all the rest of Los Angeles County considerably exceeds the New York volume.

The table is as follows:

Also stated by the Dun & Bradstreet report was the following:

"Building permits issued in 2L5 cities during March had an estimated valuation of $507,391,255.

"This was the highest ever recorded for March and the largest for any previous month since August, 1950. ft was 8.4/o greater than the March, 1953 sum of $468,133,028, and 48.5% above February's $341,65I,329.

"To a great extent, the rise for the country as a whole was due to a sharp gain in New York City where building plans filed during March reached a total of. $99,A45,726, the highest since June, 1950. It was more than double the year-ago figure of. $42,546,378, and represented an increase of. 94.0/o over the February volume of $51,047,477.

"Excluding New York City, the 214 outside cities had permits with an estimated cost of $408,345,529. This compared with $425,586,650 for March, 1954, or a decrease of. 4.1/o, but it was 40.5% greater than the previous month with a permit turnover of $290,603,852.

"Building permit values for the first quarter of 1954 climbed to a near-record aggregate of $1,192,980,813. This was 7.4/o above the $1,111,092,338 for the same period a year ago. It was only I.I/o under the all-time high volume of $1,205,753,699 recorded in the first three months of 1951.

"Excluding New York City, the cumulative total of permits in the 214 outside cities came to $1,010,818,926, or a fractional drop (0.2%) from the $1,012,386,673 for the comparable period last year."

April Big Building Month in L. A.

Not since January, 1951, has building in county territory reached heights attained last month. April figures, released yesterday, showed 5483 permits issued, valued at $35,113,685.

The value was some 4O/o above that for March, this year, and 2O/o more than that of April, 1953.

The building figures do not include those for the new city of Lakewood, County Engineer William J. Fox pointed out. Tabulations for that area were regularly included in monthly county totals prior to Lakewood's incorporation last April 16.

The San Dimas district led all county building offices in construction, the report set forth. There, as in other portions

of the county, tract housing development accounted for most of the residential permits.

Building figures in the city for the first 29 days of April nearly paralleled the county figures. The Building and Safety Department reported 5411 permits issued, valued at $35,150,236, about $2,500,000 above the 1953 April valuation on 5392 permits.

Department Manager Gilbert Morris said the April figures bring the city total for the first four months to 19,042 permits, valued at $122,608,938. The first four months of 1953 totaled 20,801 permits with a value of $160,093,254.

Who Talks Recession ? Not Lumber Or Building

By Jack Dionne

Where does all this "recession" talk come from?

Certainly not from the building industry, or the lumber business.

That subject finds its way into countless discussions of business conditions.

Financial papers and finance and economic writers keep harping on it.

Personally, I don't think there has been a recession, that there is one now, or that there is one in sight.

The conditions we hear and read about are simply the result of too much talk; too much smoke for very little fire.

And the building situation lends strong proof to that conclusion.

The most respected authority on building in this country, F. W. Dodge Corporation, issued figures for the first three months of 1954 that point more toward a boom than a bust.

Those figures showed that the first quarter of this year was one of the biggest building periods in all our history.

People don't build when business conditions are poor. In fact, building is one of the first things people postpone when money or credit gets short. The same goes for repairs and remodeling. Those are things that can be put off.

The lumber business, taken as a whole, is good; it is mighty good. Take the three great lumber producing regions, the Douglas Fir, the Western Pine, and the Southern Pine regions, and what do we find?

Production is high. Sales are high. Shipments are high. And prices are generally satisfactory. There are always fluctuations in price ranges in these industries. But there is very little kick being registered by the manufacturers

Wesfern Pine Nqmes Orlo Johnson Log Check Scqler

Portland-Orlo B. Johnson, 46, a veteran of 27 years in Western Pine'forest industries, has been appointed log check scaler for the Western Pine Association, Secretary-Manager S. V. Fullaway Jr. has announced.

The scaling post was created during recent association membership sessions.

Mr. Johnson, a native of North Dakota, spent the past 12 years with J. Neils Lumber Company, Libby, Mont., where he served not only as check scaler but was in charge of pole production and contract logging operations.

In his new position, Mr. Fullaway said, Mr. Johnson will act as advisor to the association's scaling committee and will be available to member mills for advice and assistance concerning scaling matters.

Mr. Johnson's wife and four daughters plan to remain in Libby until the end of the current school year, at which time they are to join him in Portland, headquarters of the Western Pine Association.

of lumber in these areas over current prices.

As far as I can see, and I've been watching lumber marklts for a long time, there is every reason right up to now for being well pleased with the lumber situation. There is no recession in lumber, and none in home building and remodeling. If things keep on this well through the year, it should be a very satisfactory time.

No doubt there are parts of our domestic economy that do not look as bright as the building and lumber situation, generally because of fundamentals.

We read and hear much about weakness in the automobile market. To the man in the road, there seems nothing mysterious about this. They are making tremendous numbers of cars, putting enormous pressure behind their distribution, and asking prices that seem mighty high, as compared with the money supply. So used cars suffer sadly, and there are conditions in the new car market that are not happy ones.

Perhaps weakness in other lines can likewise be explained. But when the lumber market is good, when building levels are high, and when the stock market booms, it is hard to accept recession talk as being sound and factual.

A well-known writer suggests that we talk "a little less" about rbcession, and the danger of depression. I'd like to amend that, and suggest that we talk "a whole lot less" on those subjects.

The best way to dig economic ditches for our feet to follow is to talk too much in that direction.

In the mighty transition that has been taking place from war to peace-time economy, we have done mighty well so far. Mighty well. We have much more reason to brag than we have to complain.

Henry McElmore, distinguished war correspondent, tells about a GI he knew during the recent unpleasantness in the South Pacific, whose doings are worth more than just passing notice.

Herb Meier and Ken Strawser, two well known lumbermen in Southern California, have been appointed to the sales staff of Pacilic Western Lumber Company, Pasadena, Calif. Tim Wood, formerly stationed at the firm's procurement office in charge of purchasing, Arcata, Calif., will manage both locations, according to Rich Robbins.

from the boat to wade ashore, he lost his rifle in the rush of men and water, and found himself on the beach under fire without a gun.

He was madder, said McElmore, than a coopful of drenched hens. He did not stoop or crawl or try to hide, but instead he ran up and down the beach among his comrades-in-arms shouting at the top of his voice: "One of you birds hurry up and get hit. I'VE GOTTA HAVE A RIFLE!"

John Hanson, Southern California manager, Anderson Hanson Wholesale Lumber Company, Studio City, returned last week from his annual trip to Medford, Oregon, and points north. On his return trip he made calls in Eureka, Ukiah, Redding and other northern California lumber production centers.

Wirh Blue Diqmond Corporotion

Blue Diamond Corporation has appointed Ray L. Irwin as its sales representative in the SacramentoStockton region. Irwin will handle sales of Blue Diamond gypsum products to dealers in the northern section of the San Joaquin Valley.

The addition of a sales representative in the Sacramento-Stockton region is another step in l3lue Diamond's policy of greater service in Central and Northern California markets. Irwin will be a member of Blue Diamond's Northern California sales staff, under the direction of District Manager William E,. Chichester. Blue Diamond's Northern California district ofifice is located at 375 S. Mayfair, Daly City.

Irwin formerly was a sales representative for the Hyster Co. in Sacramento. He also has worked for the U. S. Gypsum Co. in Utah and Nevada. A graduate of the University of Illinois, Irwin is married and has two children. He resides with his family at 2819 Santa Paula Court in Sacramento.

Stark Sowers, general sales manager, Inland Lumber Company, Bloomington, Calif., returned from Washington, D.C., last week where he attended the National Building Material Distributors Association annual spring meeting.

PCI In New Office

The Pacific Coast Lumber Company general offices in San Luis Obispo are now located at the company's new Santa Barbara Avenue lumber yard. A remodeled building houses the office perscnnel of eight people, which includes J. C. Houston, general manager of yards, and R. R. Young, secretary and treasurer. The company will handle all the afiairs of its four yards in this office, the yards being located at Grover City, Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo. W. B. Robinson is manager of the San Luis Obispo yard.

Too Much Plywood Soys Whire

When J. M. White retired recently from the presidency of the I-ong-Bell Lumber Company, he told the directors that too much lurrber and too much plywood is being made. With regard to the plywood, he stated that since Long-Bell entered the plywood field recently, not less than 45 new units have been built, resulting in "wide price fluctuations." lle predicted that a lot of "fly-by-night" units would get out of the picture, and stability for the industry would follow.

Caspar Hexberg, Union Lumber Company stalwart for 47 years, and Mrs. Hexberg, are currently putting the finishing touches on a long awaited visit to Sweden, Denmark and other parts of Europe. They will leave New York by ship on May 24 and plan to be gone about 3 months.

event was staged and ended in a tie between Don Madsen, Blackstone Lumber Company, Fresno, an Association member, and Bilt Chichester, Blue Diamond Corp., San Francisco. Their scores were 55-I3l and 53-lll respectively.

Monday, April 26

Registration, in charge of Claire Zimmerman of the Association, began at 9:00 a.m. in the lobby of the Ahwahnee. The rest of the morning was spent sightseeing in Yosemite Park.

Russ Stevens, President of the Association, presided over the luncheon that day and after a short, humorous discussion of the problems facing the retailers, sawmill men and wholesalers alike, introduced the feature speaker, Charles M.

meeting and introduced Fred Holmes, Holmes Eureka Lumber Company, San Francisco, who explained the function of the California Association of Timber Truckers, an association formed by the major Northern California producers with the primary idea of highway safety. Mr. Holmes introduced William Pascoe, who manages the Truckers Association, and he told the group just what C.A.T.T. is doing to promote goodwill and to cut down on some of the unwarranted criticism against the timber trucking industry. Russ Stevens then turned the meeting over to Hamilton Knott, who explained the function of the Lumber Merchants Association's l\{erchandising Committee. Mr. Knott said that his Committee is now preparing a program which will give the retailer better tools for promoting public relations, increasing the effectiveness of his advertising and giving him more modern merchandising programs.

President Stevens then adjourned the business meeting and the whole Convention adjourned to the beautiful Ahwahnee dining room for dinner.

After dinner, Del Travis took the mike and presented a trophy to Ralph Lamon for his low gross in Sunday's tournament, and also distributed prizes to the other winners of the tournament.

The Bill Gavin Chorus, radio and recording artists, were next on the evening program, and they proved to be artists in the field of vocal harmony.

At approximately 9:30 p.m., the Convention viewed one of the many wonders of Yosemite Park-the spectacular Firefall.

Dancing in the Indian Room brought the evening to a close. Tuesday, April?7

At 9:00 a.m. the directors' wives had breakfast in the

"Chuck" Hanna, who spoke on the topic of "Mind Your Own Business." Mr. Hanna proved to be quite a forceful and adept after-luncheon speaker, and not so much as one even halfclosed eye was observed as Mr. Ilanna graphically explained and defined the "American Way of Life," and in particular, the government's rightful place in our society-a message aimed straight at today's businessmen and citizens.

Russ Stevens then introduced the officers of the Associa' tion, and sitting at the head table were also Mrs. Stevens, Hamilton Knott, Yosemite Lumber Company, Fresno (Chariman of the Association's new Merchandising Committee), and Mrs. Knott. The ladies present then adjourned to play bridge and canasta.

Russ Stevens turned over the meeting to Hamilton Knott, who introduced John S. Taylor, Armstrong Cork Co., San Francisco. Mr. Taylor spoke on "The Evolution Of A Business," and was assisted by Paul Hershey, who showed slides on the problems faced by retail yards since the Do-It-Yourself movement began. Mr. Hershey explained how the retail yards could modernize their merchandising methods by improved display, modern advertising and aggressive merchandising, and thereby meet the consumer demand. He felt that the retail yards should modernize their merchandising methods to take care of not only the builder, but the consumer, the latter market showing every sign of becoming an ever-increasing part of retail yard volume.

Russ Stevens then adjourned the regular meeting and called for an Association business meeting to be held in the Indian Room of the Ahwahnee. Mr. Stevens presided at the business

California Room, and at 10 a.m. the Board of Directors met in the Tudor Room. It was then that the election of Offrcers for the coming year was held, the result being that all of the Officers stayed just as they were last year. Russ Stevens continued to preside at this meeting and explained to the group that the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California had officially incorporated under California laws as a lon-profit corporation on April 13, 1954. Due to the fact that the corporation laws require an additional office of Secretary, the group voted Jack Pomeroy to fiIl this office in addition to the office of Executive Vice President.

room for luncheon and Russ Stevens introduced the first distinguished speaker for the afternoon program-James W. Silliman, Speaker of the California State Assembly and a candidate for Lieutenant Governor in the California State Election to be held June 8 this year. Mr. Silliman presented to the attendance a most interesting, informal behind-the-scene view of the California Legislature. His explanation of such sore spots in the California Government as the Liquor Control systern and other controversial aspects in the Legislature was presented in a clear, concise manner and gave the attendance a better picture of just what was going on at Sacramento.

Charles Shepard took over the speaker's rostrum at 2:00 p.m. and introduced L. J. Carr, L. J. Carr & Co., Sacramento, who presented a talk that has caused so much reflection and thought in the lumber industry-"The Lumber Industry Of The Future." All who listened to Mr. Carr agreed it appears that the lumber industry is rapidly approaching a point where it will undergo another "Industrial Revolution" in the manufacturing of lumber.

At 3:00 p.m. John Egan, Wood Conversion Company, Minneapolis, and Supreme Snark Of The Universe, took the speaker's stand and presented "Why Hoo-Hoo ?" Mr. Egan's informative talk explained the who, why, when, where and what of the International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, and went on further to show why lumbermen throughout the nation should work together for the betterment of the lumber industry as a whole.

Russ Stevens adjourned the final Tuesday afternoon meeting and the Convention then gathered in the Indian Room for a cocktail party sponsored by the following associate members of the Lumber lVlerchants Association of Northern California :

Meet 82-Yeor-Old Kitten A. Mcrrsholl Thompson, 61424

At the February Concat of Duluth-Superior Club, that is the Head of the Lakes and Range Hoo-Hoo Club No. 14, A. Marshall Thompson, 61424, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 82 years old, -was initiated.

A. Marshall Thompson, Vice-President and Chairman o{ the Board of Directors of the Scott Grafi Company, was born at Canandaigua, New York, in 1872. He has been associated with the firm since 1914, serving in the capacity of both president and vice-president. In addition to these business activities, he has served as a Judge in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, since 1938.

He is a graduate of Pennsylvania University and was admitted to the Bar in March, 1897, in Pittsburgh. He served as a member of the Faculty of the law school of the University of Pittsburgh for over 30 years and from 1920-40 was Dean of the Institution.

Judge Thompson has contributed much to the lumber industry in his capacity as an officer of the Scott Graff Company and his counsel and advice and his excellent and intelligent service has helped the company to obtain the position that it holds in Duluth and the Northwest.

The Scott Graff Company of Duluth, Minnesota, began as a saw mill in 1879. In the early 1920's, because of timber depletion, the plant was rebuilt and reorganized to engage in special millwork field on a national scale. In 1942, it devoted its full efforts to the war in producing wood barges for the Maritime Commission. For the Commodity Credit Corporation, 2000 grairr storage bins were prefabbed for delivery tc the wheat lands of the Dakotas. It is now engaged in the manufacture and distribution of Millwork.

Mqckintosh & Trumqn Exponds

The officers and directors of the new Mackintosh & Truman, Inc., are: I. Y. Mackintosh, chairman of the board; Fred W. Gottschalk, formerly with the American Lumber & Treating Company and Timber Engineering Company, president; G. L. Fairbairn, vice president, whe will continue to handle eastern sales from the Chicago offrce, the Marsh & Truman Lumber Company; G. R. Berry, secretary; Norman L. Neve, treasurer, formerly with the Marsh & Truman Lumber Company. Offices of the company continue in the Vance Building, Seattle.

He also was accompanied by Hac Collins on a trip through Northern California.

Forest Growth Will Meet Nqtions Needs Soys Weyerhqeuser

Grand Rapids, Mich., May 5-It is entirely possible that future forest growth will meet all the nation's wood requirements in the years to come, declared J. P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr., president of Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, in a luncheon address today before the Forest Products Research Society.

Speaking to 500 members and guests at the eighth annual meeting of FPRS, Weyerhaeuser cited a nearly completed study by Stanford Research Institute which will project the probable demands for all forest products through 1975. Findings of the Stanford research group will be released, according to Weyerhaeuser, later this summer.

"We are closer than many of us dared hope, and far closer than our critics have admitted, to the day when all the forest products that our dynamic, growing economy demands can be met from current forest growth," said Weyerhaeuser. "The Stanford report is, we believe, a most reassuring independent finding that forest products have a bright future. Although our company retained Stanford to conduct the project, the Institute's estimates and projections are entirely its own."

Big Sowmills of Pcrcific Coqst

"The Lumberman," edited by the veteran W. E. Crosby at Seattle, Washington, has issued its annual statistical and production number, dated March, and filled with a wealth of information concerning the lumber industry of the nation, and particulaiy of the West. It is probably the best number of the kind that this journal, formerly The West Coast Lumberman but now a Miller Freeman Publication. has ever issued.

The complete list of major Western sawmills printed in this issue, furnished figures on the lumber production of all the major mills of the West, and supplies the following interesting figures concerning the large mills of this territory:

More Selling Thoughts

The most thoroughly and completely discredited selling idea in the whole realm of merchandising is the one that says that a greatly superior product will create its own market.

Back in the days when the great writer and philosopher -and cynic-Thomas Carlyle, lived and wrote and studied in England, a certain pessimist went out on London Bridge one day with his hands filled with genuine gold sovereigns (about ten bucks each) and offered them for sale to the thousands who crossed the bridge for one shilling each. And he never got a customer.

That was a better test than you could make of such a matter today, because then most of the bridge-crossers were pedestrians, and the remainder were in very slowmoving vehicles, while today they would all flash by in motors, and the pessimist would have a very poor chance to show his wares.

So Thomas Carlyle, writing of the matter, remarked: "Thousands of people cross London Bridge every daymostly fools." What the cynical Carlyle was saying was that most men are fools, because those who crossed the bridge were a fair cross-section of the population.

What that pessimist who found no buyers for his gold was doing was tearing to shreds the oft-repeated (though of later origin) mousetrap theory. Few alleged truths are better known to readers generally than the one that says: "If a man preach a better sermon, write a better book, make a better mousetrap than his neighbors, the world will make a pathway to his door, though he live in a wilderness."

For a generation that remark was credited to Emerson. A few years ago someone instituted a search of all Emerson's writings, and failed to find it. Today the muchrepeated axiom is a maverick; no one knows who owns it. Modern merchandising has likewise discredited its truthfulness.

Do you, Mister Salesman, believe for a minute that the world will beat a path to your door to buy something of yours, just because it is a better product than the other fellow has for sale, regardless of the comparative sales efforts? How would you like to stake your ability to make a living for the wife and kids on such sophistry as that?

Merchandising has amply demonstrated and conclusively proven that even though your mousetrap may be five times as efficient and valuable as the next best one on the market, the public will never come and ask for it unless you make them-and keep on making them. Since civilization began-but more particularly in the last two decades of intensified merchandising-men with inferior products but superior merchandising and selling methods, have fairly shot the feet from under makers of better products in the open markets of the world. Better products starve to death every day, while inferior ones prevail. Different merchandising. That's all.

Grey's "Elegy In a Country Churchyard" completely contradicts the better mousetrap philosophy. His "mute, inglorious Milton," who was buried unknown and unsung, was blood-brother to the maker of that better mousetrap.

And, by the way, Milton himself wrote that, "they also serve, who only stand and wait." They may serve. But they don't SELL !

FHA Scandal Makes Us Sad

For years we have been of the opinion that opposed to all the unintelligent, unwise, and impractical legislative things created by the emergency route in the last twenty years, there was one that was sound, practical, useful, intelligent, and honorable: FHA. So, when the scandals broke around that government building bureau recently, it fairly made us sick. We were wondering just what to say about it in these columns, when we picked up a late copy of Crow's Digest, out of Portland, Oregon, and there we found an editorial on the subject, signed by Bob Smith, one of the Digest staff, that seemed to say it all, and in no uncertain terms. So we are simply borrowing it, and giving Crow's Digest full credit. It is worth reading, and is as follows:

"Incubated in the darkened depths of the Truman administration and concealed under the umbrella of placid bureaucracy, the FHA scandal has finally had its protection and camoufage rudely ripped away, leaving the size and ugly shape exposed for all to view.

"The ordinary fellow, who digs pretty deep for that nickel, may well be bewildered, wonder how such things could happen, and ask who is stuck for the $500 million tab. The answer is plainly evident. So long as the housing problem exists and people are forced to live in rent-inflated

An Editorial

quarters, the tenants of tJre involved apartments will momentarily pack the load; just plain people like you and like us.

"What a flagrant bilking it was ! Practically anyone able to walk could go to the Federal Housing Administration and get a guarantee of public credit for a new apartment house, without risking a penny personally.

"As the Internal Revenue Service has discovered, at least 1149 corporations obtained guaranteed loans larger than the actual cost of construction. What a deal !

"The cutest twist to the whole gimmick is that because of the loose-knit law, most of it was perfectly legal. Of course the gong will be beaten steadily in an effort to show chicanery, skulduggery, collusion, and what-not, but it's going to be a lot of line to unsnarl. This by the F.B.I. and the Department of Justice

"What it all amounts to is that the United States Government is holding a nice, big bag of worthless mortgages.

"It took people who knew perfectly well what they were doing to pull the caper. It took lax supervision at the top, middle, and lower echelons. It took a lot of money out of the government's hands.

"Now that the thing has been blown across the nation's headlines, we naturally wonder what effect the exposure

will have on this year's housing program, and, more important to us, the lumber demand.

"It's too early to tell much. The Senate is thumping for rigorous investigation, the Department of Justice is digging hard for criminality. Investigations are not hurryup affairs; they take a lot of time, but the heat is really on.

"It could hurt critically. Housing is a major support of our industry, and the FHA is an important pillar in the foundation of the housing business. Right now that pillar is badly shaken."

CAI.AVERAS

SPIIT. SECOND SCHEDUTIiIG BRINGS YOU THE CEMENT YOU WANT WHEN YOU WANT IT

Sea Swirl, new decorative plywood, is being widely used for many built-ins and "working" pieces of furniture, such as this aquarium cabinet. Because of its sculptured, threedimensional effect, Sea Swirl doesn't show bumps or scratches and retains its rugged good looks even with the hardest wear.

Arthur Clifiord, vice president of The A. W. Burritt Co., Bridgeport, Conn., was the first speaker. llis subject was "Human Relations-Getting Results Through People."

Mr. Clifford stated that we get the best results when men like their jobs and are enthusiastic about their work; they like praise and recognition; and a safe and pleasant place to work.

We are on parade every minute of the day, he said, and are being judged by our workers, associates, fellow dealers, and suppliers.

He pointed out that a man doesn't like to take orders from three or four men. Anybodv can fire a man. he said. but it is

a tough job to develop a new man.

The next speaker was Lathrop K. Leishman, president of the Crown City Lumber & Mill ,Co., Pasadena, whose subject was "Is There A Profit In our Consumer Selling?"

He used a drawing board and charts with figures to illustrate his talk. He showed the comparative figures for 1950 and 1952 for the return per thousand board feet of volume handled; comparative costs of doing business or overhead figures for the various categories based on total volume; breakdown of individual overhead items according to $500,000 to $1,000,000 sales volume; Crown City Lumber & Mill Co. costs per man minute of operation; costs of writing an order and accounting that order, delivery or loading costs; showing what is going on in the industry if you cut the price.

As a solution to getting a better profit in consumer selling he listed the followirrg: Get better mark-up; percentage mark-up not dollar mark-up; percentage on sales not of costs; get your price; adequate price and products information; proper training of your personnel; advertise better profit items; self service; package selling; sell more for cash; more will call orders ; get paid for services; pre-price market items ; good mark-up on impulse orders; adequate consumer service area; adequate delivery charge; eliminate errors ; eliminate fall downs; honesty of employer and customers.

At the conclusion of his talk Mr. Parker presented him with a beautiful wrist watch in appreciation of the fine work he has done for the Association.

a fine musical program given by Jan Rubini, distinguished violinist, and his son, Michel Rubini, outstanding boy pianist.

George A. Bowie, Department of Public Relations, Firestone Tire & Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio, was the speaker. His subject was "Here and There."

Mr. Bowie told the delegates that America must exercise tolerance towards her allies to allow them a certain "freedom to differ."

He said Americans must accept two requirements in order to be considered the true defenders of free rnen. These requirements, he said, are that we face the fact that people foreign to us are going to think differently in some ways and that they are entitled to this freedom to differ.

When we are irritated by our allies, the speaker continued, we run the risk of proving the Communist prophecy that the free nations so differ from one another that unity among them will be impossible.

We should not consider that the right to be different is dangerous to unity, he said. Freedom to be different has brought strength to the union of our 48 states, success to its planning, and prosperity to its people.

Mr. Bale said that America's sales people would be the determining factor as to whether or not there will be continued prosperity, and how well they function will decide our economy.

Competition for the consumer's dollar is getting stiffer, he stated, and advertising will be a major tool in this necessity for intensive selling.

People will buy if you show them what you can do for them. he continued. and the man who knows how to merchandise will find that his business will increase.

Mr. Arnold turned the meeting over to John Lipani, who introduced John B. Egan, District Manager, Wood Conversion Co., St. Paul, Minn., and Snark of the lJniverse, Hoo-Hoo International, as the next speaker.

Mr. Egan stated that Hoo-Hoo has 13,000 members, and 50/o of the membership are retail lumbermen.

Henry Ford

Henry Ford was the greatest industrialist the world has ever known. He did more for the cause of the man who works with his hands than any other man.

Away back yonder he astonished the world by announcing for his employes a daily wage higher than even the most ambitious worker had even dreamed of asking for; and a shorter day than any worker would have believed possible of attainment.

He was the most outstanding specimen of the "rugged individualist" this nation has known. He believed in high wages, short hours, but he likewise believed to exactly the same degree in hard work and generous production. He thought and taught that the wise way to lower prices was to increase pay; and get increased service as a result.

Starting from scratch and making his monumental business success through nothing on earth but his own efforts, he left behind something for all men to aim at. Of course, he lived in a time when such things were definitely more possible than they would be today. Whether another such success as that of Ford could be achieved-even by another Ford-in such time as we now travel through, is very debatable.

Henry Ford will be quoted for his practical wisdom for all time to come; and justly so. He was just an oldfashioned fellow who believed that "he profits most who serves best." He thought a man should benefit according to his ability, according to his efficiency, according to his work accomplished. Nothing in his life astonished him more than the philosophy of recent years that the weak and the strong, the lazy and the vigorous, the honest and the shiftless, the dependable and the unreliable-should all share alike from the industry they serve. That, to him, was pure heresy.

A Detroit writer who knew Henry Ford well, wrote a very interesting opinion of him in a book called "Detroit is My Home Town." In order to describe what sort of unusual man Ford was, this writer whose name is Malcolm Bingay, says that if Ford and two other men stood on one corner of a city block and agreed to meet at the opposite corner of that same block (through the block, understand?) the two other men would go around the block to the point of meeting, but by some process unknown to ordinary men Mr. Ford would go straight through on a direct line, and be waiting for them. In other words, he did not have to do things the normal ordinary way, but followed a way reserved for the great men of the world. Such men impress others that waY.

Big Texos

A guy from San Antonio was bragging about his home town. He said, "It's a wonderful place. Half of it is as Mexican as Chihuahua, half is as Western as Arizona, and half is as modern and metropolitan as New York City."

Said a listener: "That makes three halves."

"I know," said the man from San Antone, "but everything in Texas is so big it has to have three halves."

Chonged Borbershops

When father got a haircut, I recall it with a thrill, The barber also shaved him, And a quarter paid the bill.

And as the barber labored, The memory haunts me Yet, My father scanned the damsels In the old Police Gazette. Now haircuts cost a fortune, A dollar plus, and yet The barber shops no longer serve, rhe old Police

These Would I Ask

These would I ask: a house upon a hill Where all the gentle winds can come and play; A climbing rose, a lonely whippoorwill To share my solitude at close of day. One star to look at in the quiet night, And think about, and maybe call my own; A winding road that wanders out of sight, And, if I stray, will always guide me home. The right to choose whatever simple prayer' My lips would say-and ah, there will be these: Within a corner of my heart somewhere, A few well-kept, well-laughted-at memories' -Ann Hlubucek.

The Bible Abouf Pqsses

The late P. T. Barnum, most famous of all circus men' was Scotch. He used to get so many requests for free passes into his shows, that he dug through the Bible for verses that would seem to cover such subjects, and came across the following quotations, which he then posted conspicuously at the front door of the show:

"Thou shalt not pass."-Numbers, XX, 18.

"Suffer not a man to pass."-;udges, llI, 28.

"None shall pass."-Mark XIII, 30.

"Neither any son of man shall pass."-Jeremiah, 43.

"Though they roar, yet they cannot pass."-Jeremiah,32.

"So he paid the fare thereof, and went."-Jonah, 3.

5O Yeor Old House Being Remodeled for L.A. Home Show

When the annual Los Angeles Home Show opens June 10 to 20 in the Pan-Pacific Auditorium, one of the very attractive exhibits will be a remodeled house. A 60-year-old house has been selected for that pulpose, and is being remodeled for the occasion under the direction of A. J. Blackstone and sponsored by the Remodeling Contractors Association of Los Angeles.

Actually, the old house will be only partially remodeled, some rooms being beautifully done over to show what can be accomplished, while other rooms are left as they were to demonstrate the before and after effects of skilful remodelittg. The house is a sturdy frame structure that formerly served as the parish house for a church, and contains seven rooms. It has been moved from its former location to the Home Show grounds, where the work is being done. Frank Hess, Home Show president, says this house will be one of the most talked-about things in the ten-day show.

Arizona Retailers Hold Rousing Convention

at Chandler

(The followins is an official report of the meeting held April 22,93 and 24) Prepared bv G. R. "Gus" Michaels, Secretary-Manager

The convention started early Thursday morning with the annual lumbermen's go I f tournament as the highlight. In this, they were joined by the Salt River Valley Hoo-Hoo Club and ninety made the rounds of the San Marcos golf course. Results showed that Doyle Sewall of Mesa was the 1954 champion and the winner of the Woodpecker.

Registrations set a new record wlth 279 men and women signing up. It was forty-one more than the year before at Grand Canyon.

In the evening the Hoo-Hoo Club had a cocktail party, Concatenation, and buffet dinner honoring John B. Egan, 45205, Snark of the Universe, and fourteen kittens were taken into the Order.

During the Thursday program the ladies were entertained with a bridge and canasta party, book review of Goodbye My Fancy given by Lois Halladay, and a trip to Papago Park Gardens.

On Friday rnorning the convention was called to order by President Edgar Petty, who appointed Mel Walker Sergeantat-Arms. A most impressive invocation was given by the Reverend Ralph J. Wheeler of the Presbyterian Church of Chandler and a hearty welcome was extended by Honorable Otho L. Dixon, Mayor of Chandler. Appropriate response was made by Vice-President Ralph Bell. The President then made his annual report and appointed the following committees :

Nom,inating: Sam Beecroft, Si Douglas, A. M. Schwartz, Mike Medigovich, Marvin Smith, Flovd Olsorr;" John Wood.

Resolwtions: Waldo Thomas, Paul Loynd, Emron T. Wright, Don McCaughey, Ralph Bell, J. Knox Corbett, Henry Galbraith.

Time and Place: Dick Brecheisen, Roy Bond, Cliff Floyd, Forrest Denney, Earl Cox, Bill Beal, Earl McClanahan.

James C. C'Malley, National Retail Lumber Dealer Director for District 6, then made a very complete and comprehensive report on National and State legislation. With regard to the housing bill he quoted from Norman Mason's testimony before the Senate Banking and Currency Committee, pointing out that Mason's views on the housing situation were practical and in line with our thinking and that it was m'ost fortunate that he had been appoir-rted to the position of Commissioner of FHA. He advised the membership of the written presentation that he had made, asking for tax equality and the elimination of

tax favors to co-ops. In this, he not only represented our Association, but fourteen others in Arizona.

He told of his trip to Washington and the meetings he had with Rhodes and Goldwater in which our viewpoints on labor legislation were detailed. He also reported on our activities as members of the Lrizona Transportation group which are fighting for reduced freight rates into this territory. On local legislation he stated that no iegislation had passed this session which could be considered harmful to our industry. Thc proposed revisions to the lien law were stopped before bills rvere introduced and we took a stand against increasing gas taxes and worked to have the peddler's bill killed in the House after it had been amended to the point where it was valueless. \Me worked with groups which were instrumental ilr having the new slum clearance legislation enacted which u'ill permit communities to do a real job of slum clearance through private enterprise. He suggested to the mernbership that they take an active part in choosing their representatives this coming year and recommended that the resolutions committee adopt and send to the membership resolutions outlining the position of our organization.

Jack Jordan of the Lumber Merchandisers Association then made an interesting report, showing illustrations of proper grade marking insignias; also showed the group some of the fraudulent markings, explaining that progress was being rnade in getting full support from FHA, VA, and architects in the use of grade marked dimension lumber and that the program should be expanded to include boards. He also advised regarding the truck situation.

Mr. Cliff Warren, air conditioning engineer, made a very interesting and detailed report of the value of the use of lumber and insulation in promoting the use of air conditioning equipment over the use of masonry. He gave interesting examples of an 1,850 square foot home constructed of 8" masonry with a 12" overhang. A five-ton unit would be required; the installation cost would be $2,500, and the summer operating cost, $157. Against this was the same house, constructed of frame with 2" insulation and a 3' roof overhang. Three tons of equipment will do the job with an installation cost of $1,900 and a summer operation cost of $88.

The afternoon session was called to order by President Petty, who introduced Phil Creden, Director of Public Relations for the Edward Hines Lumber Company, Chicago, Illinois; and James T. Lendrum, Director of the Small Homes Council, University of Illinois, IJrbana, Illinois. These gentlemen, with slides, pictures, and working models, went into every detail of the Lu-Re-Co panel sysytem of house construction.

During the business session the women played golf, bridge, and canasta ; toured the Mormon Temple grounds; and en-

joyed their annual luncheon in the main dining room, which also included a very wonderful fashion show. The evening program was wide and varied, with probably the largest group joining up at the Western Tavern.

The meeting was called to order Saturday morning by President Edgar Petty. Sam Beecroft, Chairman of the Nominating Committee, presented the following list of officers for 1954 and a motion was duly made, seconded, and carried, and the officers were unanimously approved.

Officers: Ralph Bell, Yuma, President; Knox Corbett, Tucson, Vice-President; Mike Medigovich, Cottonwood, VicePresident ; Frank llaney, Phoenix, Treasurer; Ed Petty, Tucson, Ex-Officer, Member of Board.

Directors: Jay O'Malley, Phoenix; E. H.

Waldo Thomas, Chairman of the Resolutions Committee, presented ten resolutions, all of which were approved and become a part of this report.

R. S. Brecheisen, Chairman of the Time and Place Committe, reported that they had selected Yuma, Arizona, April l4-L5-16, 1955, as the time and place for our next convention. The recommendation was unanimously approved.

W. E. "Diff" Difford, Managing Director for the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, then made a talk, "The 1954 Sales Challenge," in which he analyzed the production and potential sales of lumber products and in a stirring manner called to the attention of everyone that they were still in the lumber business to educate their sales force, improve their advertising methods, and go out after the business.

In the afternoon, the President introduced Dr. J. A. Hall, Director of Forest Products l-aboratory, who made a most interesting and educational address, spiced with humor. He

pointed out the many uses of lumber and the many ways in which these uses are being accomplished today with modern glues, and increased knowledge of lumber itself ; the vast developments of hardboard, paper, and other products which are all a part of the lumber industry, and pointed out that while statistics today may show that there is a decline in the per capita use of lumber, that if we projected these figures based on all of the items now manufactured from the tree. we would find that there is a tremendous increase in the use of lumber and lumber products.

At 6:00 everyone gathered around the pool patio, where they were guests of Joe Rice, President of the First Federal Savings & I-oan Association at the annual cocktail party, which as usual was a tremendous success. Af. 7 :30 the annual dinner was held in the main dining room, presided over by I.{eal B. Waugh, who introduced the outgoing and incoming officers, called on Knox Corbett to present the golf trophies, and on r'Diff" Difford to present a citation to Ralph Bell, our incoming president. The evening wound up with dancing on the pool patio.

We are indeed grateful to our exhibitors, who had very wonderful displays:

and Bloomington, Calif.; distribution yards being located at Anaheim and the general office at Bloomington. Eighteen units of mobile equipment, including truck and trailer rigs, Hysters and single truci< units are maintained by the company to keep lumber flowing to the many jobs and retail yards in Southern California.

The Inland Lumber Company maintains procurement offices in Redding and Arcata, Calif. In addition to all species of western lumber, this firm also distributes at the wholesale level Simpson building materials, the Johns-Manville line, Masonite, Olympic stain and shingles products, Kaiser building materials and many other nationally known and advertised brands.

Announcement was made last month by Fred Thomson, president of the Inland Lumber Company, that his company had moved its Orange County yard from Tustin to Anaheim, Calif., located on Manchester Boulevard and Santa Ana street, adjacent to the I-os Angeles-Santa Ana Freeway.

The new five-acre plant is centrally located and affords fast delivery io all of Southern California, including San Diego and Imperial Valley cities, Mr. Thomson declared. It has undercover storage for dry stock, a l4-car spur on the Southern Pacific Railroad and ample storage for prompt handling of building materials in this fast-growing area, he continued.

Bill Sharp, former manager of the firm's operation in Tustin, has been appointed manager of the Anaheim yard and Sylvia Benton, well known in Orange County lumber circles, has been placed in charge of the office and telephone sales desk.

In addition to the new Anaheirn location, the Inland Lumber Company maintains sales offices in San Diego, Bakersfield

During the past few years Inland has grown from the single distribution yard at Bloomington to its present status of six well-located offices. This company now employs nine salesmen in Southern California, in addition to 45 office employes and buyers, shipping and telephone sales personnel. Stark

Sowers is general sales manager with offices at Bloornington. Bob Bothwell is in charge of sales at Bakersfield; Stark Lester at San Diego and Bill Sharp at Anaheim. Norm Olson, well known in Southern California lumber circles, manages the Arcata buying office and Al lJrton is in charge of the Redding office.

"seventy-five percent of our lumber moves to our various Southern California yards via rail and 25/o moves via our own, or leased truck and trailer units," said Mr. Thomson. "We offer a complete wholesale lumber and building materials service to the retail lumber dealers exclusively, either by direct shipment or less than carload lots," he continued.

Blqnchord's North Hollywood Yord Burns

At three o'clock on the morning of May 5th, fire broke out in the big lumber yard of the Blanchard Lumber Company, in North Hollywood, California. Wonderful work by the Los Angeles fire department saved what could have been a total loss of the big yard. The offices and the big dry shed that housed the finish lumber were destroyed, with a loss of about $125,000. The main lumber yard and several other sheds were saved.

They immediately moved their offices into a small building in the rriddle of the yard that has been used as a recreation center for the company employees, and the day after the fire business at the yard was going on as usual. Ross Blancharci thinks the fire was of incendiary origin. Reports were heard of a man seen running from the yard just as the three-alarm fire started.

The destroyed portions of the yard will be rebuilt immediately.

Do-lr-Yourself Show Held ot long Beqch

The increasing interest in Do-It-Yourself activity in Southern California was exemplified during the week of May 3 when over 30,000 people from the Long Beach, California, vicinity attended the first annual "Do-It-Yourself" show held in the Municipal Auditorium in that city.

Sponsored by progressive civic-minded business men, dealers, manufacturers and distributors of various tool, electronic, building materials and allied products, this show attracted the home owner and fix-it workers throughout the area.

One of the most attractive displays featuring everything for the builder including plywood, lumber, hardware and many other items of wall surfacing, trim, etc., was that of the W. M. Dary Company of Long Beach. Red Johnson, purchasing agent for the concern, was in charge of the booth and his staff explained the uses of the various materials to over 3000 people daily while the show was in progress. The W. M. Dary Company also maintains retail yards in Barstow and San Bernardino. California.

"All of the progressive retail lumber dealers in Southern California are alert to the great possibilities of the home fix-it man's needs and we are catering to this demand through special departments in all our locations," said Johnson.

Fire Loss Not Serious

Four fire companies from Vernon and two from Maywood, California, operating in an efficient manner, kept the recent fire at the Tropical and Western Lumber Co., of Vernon, from spreading and had no serious effect on the operations of the yard, according to Bill Howe, sales manager of the wholesale lumber distributing firm. It was limited to an auxiliary kiln which had only been in operation about three weeks. "Damage has been estimated at $20,000, which included the kiln building and contents," said Mr. Howe.
