Sacramento Valley Lumbermen's Club Meeting

Sacramento \ralley Lumbermen's Club held their regular monthly meeting at the Hotel Senator, Sacramento, May 19.

President Jo Shepard presided, and announced that the next meeting will be held on June 16, at a picnic in one of the local parks. Arrangements for this will be in the hands of the president and secretary.

Mr. Shepard called for discussion of a plan outlined in a letter from Mrs. J. E. Fraser, secretary of the California Retail Lumbermen's ,{ssociation, proposing that the club join the state association as a whole instead of having individual memberships, suggesting that a slight increase of dues would be sufficient to give each club member a membership in the state association as well. I. E. Brink, Diamond Match Co., Chico, E. S. McBride, Davis Lumber Co., Davis, and President Shepard joined in the discussion on this subject, and it was decided to have further discussion on the matter at the June meeting. The plan will be taken up at the State Convention in November.

I. E. Brink, Diamond Match Co., vicegerent snark of the Butte County district, invited the club to hold their September meeting in conjunction with Butte County Hoo Hoo. This invitation was cordially accepted. The Diamond Match Co. will provide the luncheon at Stirling City, where the company's sawmill will be visited. A visit will also be made to the factory at Chico, and there will be a big Concat in the evening.

C. D. LeMaster paid a fine tribute to H. C. "Hi" Henry, and to J. A. Clothier, both of whom met accidental deaths in automobile accidents recently, and at the secretary's request, the gathering stood for a few moments in silence for each.

Mr. LeMaster stated that the impression which had got abroad that Mr. Clothier had been killed in the course of a joy-ride was an entirely erroneous one. He explained the facts of the matter, and asked mimbers to do what they could to correct this wrong impression.

Tom Sawyer, Pacific Coast Manager of the Celotex Company was the speaker of the day. His subject was, "Better Co-operation in the Building Industry."
