Disrribution Figures on Ccrlifornicr Redwood For 1953 Prove Interesting

The California Redwood Association report on the distribution of its products in 1953, furnisl.res interesting figures.

For the first time in history the distribution table shorvs that more Redwood was shipped out of the State of California, than in the State. Of the 514,862,m0 feet shipped, a total of 257,198,00O feet u,as shipped intrastate to California points, while 257,664,000 feet went out of the State.

However, the Association report states that it seems certain that shipments of mills not reporting to the Association, if available would keep the intrastate total over half of all Redwood shipments.

Shipments outside of California were: Eastern, 227,045,000 feet; Western states, 11,986,000 feet; Rocky Mountain states, 10,169,000 feet; Export, 493,000 feet; U. S. Offshore, 7,971,000 feet.

In 1952 Maine received no Redwood. In 1953 Maine bought 25,000 feet. But New Hampshire, which bought 19,000 feet in 1952, bought none in 1953, the only state in the union to draw a blank.

The biggest increase in Redwood shipments to any state went to Illinois, which jumped from 17 million in 1952 to 26 million in 1953.

Ohio continued to be the biggest Redwood buyer outside of California, receiving 31,707,W feet in 1953, a decrease from 1952, while Texas, second in rank, received 30,174,Affi feet, an increase of 12 per cent over the previous year. Iilinois was third in rank.

Of the states taking more than a million feet of Redwood during 1953, the largest percentage increases were in five Southern states, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Tennessee.

The three top states outside California, Ohio, Texas, and Illinois, took about 39 per cent of all Redwood shipped East of the Rockies.

DISTRIBUTION OF REDWOOD SHIPMENTS EAST OF ROCKY MOUNTAINS

L.A. Horbor Totols High for '53

Los Angeles Harbor established a record making year during 1953. More than 4,5C0 ships passed through the Port, the highest mark achieved in the past 12 years. Tonnage moving across the docks amounted to 24,762,587 tons.

Los Angeles Harbor cbntinues to keep abreast of the dynamic growth of the Metropolitan Los Angeles area, the fastest growing area in the nation. As a factor of big business of the Pacific Coast, the Harbor occupies a position high on the ladder of industrial organizations. It is a $150,000,000 enterprise occupying an area of 7,000 acres with 28 miles of waterfront and employs around 1,000 people. Indirectly, thousands of other citizens, the people who produce and who transport the goods shipped through the Harbor enjoy gainful employment due to its two-way commerce with the rest of the rvorld.

Evolutionists say that man was descended from monkeys, and, while of course the monkeys lack the abilityrto deny the slander, there is no record that any self-respecting monkey has admitted the truth of the insult.

John Ruskin, distinguished and optimistic philosopher, said: "Great men see something divine in every other man, and are endlessly, foolishly, incredibly merciful."

GENER,AL R,EVEILLE COMMITTEE

Hoo-Hoo

22nd Annuql Oqklond Reveille Biggesr Blost Yet

The goal of the Oakland Hoo-Hoo Club No. 39 has finally been reached ! The Claremont Hotel in Berkeley was completely saturated by good fellowship Friday, May 14, when over 600 lumbermen from all parts of Northern California, and some from Oregon and Washington, swarmed to the Claremont Hotel to make up the biggest and best Reveille yet. Dining room facilities and other accommodations were filled to the peak, and some late-to-dinner boys actually got a break when they couldri't find a place to eat in the Salem Room-these fellorvs had their dinner in the Claremont's main dining room, complete with dinner music.

The Reveille day had its beginning at the exclusive Claremont Golf and Country Club in Oakland. A record turnout of Reveille golfers ( 110 members and guests) played the Claremont course for all it was .ivorth, and when the day was through, Kermit Knoble ended up with the perpetual trophy to grace his mantel until the next Reveille Tournament. Herb Farrell had charge of the Tournament and also presented the prizes to the winners. Art Grey copped first prize and received a caddy cart for his efforts. Ralph Lamon followed rvith second prize and received a sand wedge for his score. Norm Miller, Bob Cheim, John Gordon, Bill Bonnell, Wayne Rawlings, Bill Boeteger, Bill Fraser, Bob Macfie, Del Travis, Fred Ziese, John Jenswold and Louis Martinez all won golf balls for their excellent showing. Herb Farrell scored the tournament by the Callaway System.

At 6:39 p.m., everyone congregated at the Claremont Hotel for the proverbial cocktail hour, whi.ch marked the kickoff for the gala evening. Following an excellent steak

dinner, tl.re attendance listened to President Bob Hogan deliver the address of welcome and express his thanks to the visitors, the sponsors, to his hard working committeemen and epecially to Al Kelley, General Chairman for the 22nd Annual Oakland Reveille, for making the event such a success.

Al Kelley then introduced Ollie O'Toole, master of ceremonies for the occasion, ryho unleashed a lot of good, fast moving entertainment for the next two hours. The Colleens, lovely ladies of song, were the first on, followed by John Molinari, virtuoso of the accordian. Haskel and Company, shorvmanship in make believe, were the next to appear, and then Ford and Harris, the harlem madcaps, entertained the group. Ollie O'Toole then proceeded to keep the attendance in stitches with his comedy novelties and The Colleens again appeared for the finale. There was a show high jinks after the show, which boasted a large attendance.

The follorving gentlemen were .chairmen of the various committees that rnade the preparations for the Reveille, and thus guaranteed its success-and also that feeling you had Saturday morning: Al Kelley, General Chairman ; Chris Sechrist, Banquet Committee; Bill McCubbin, Publicity Committee; Don O'Brien and Craig Gaffney, Reception Committee; Joe Pepetone, Ticket Committee; Bob Meyer, Entertainment Committee; Ralph Hill, Finance Committee; "Sky" Lewis, Program. Committee; Herb Farrell, Golf Committee; Frank Timmers. Reservation Committee; and Ev Lewis, Secretary-Treasurer (the fellow who gets to do all of the bookkeeping and straightening of affairs a{ter everything is over).

A Short Shorr Story (but good)

(My old friend James Kirkwood, veteran Thespian, often hands me a story. They are always short and sharp. Here is his latest.)

Two men met one morning.

One of them had a terrific hangover, that showed plainly.

The other one said:

"Boy, you look awful !"

Old Story - New Twist

Foilowing is a clipping from Ted and Dorothy F'riends' "Around San Francisco" column appearing in the San Francisco Call Bulletin. It appears that Harry Merlo, sales manager at Rockport Redwood Co., has something besides redwood on his mind.

Two days follon,ing that, llarry Merlo, lumber executive, dropped in to l\IcMurry's to select a picture of a model for a publicity project he had in mind. You can complete the story yourself. Merlo said he vi'ould like to see the original of the photo. He did. Sheila and Merlo met. And now McMurry rvill take the n'edding pictures."

R. F. (Fronk) Wells Retires

With over a half century of lumber years behind him R. F. (Frank) Wells, pioneer Pacific Coast lumberman, retired last month as head of the Inglewood Lumber Company, 201 West Regent Street, Inglewood, Calif.- Mr. Wells has been identified with the lumber industry since the turn of the century and owner-operator of the Inglewood retail establishment since 1931.

William J. Beuchel, for the past 16 years assistant manager of the concern, took over active ownership and will continue to operate the firm under its present name.

"Renovation and remodeling of the offices and display department have been started, which we hope to complete as soon as possible," said Mr. Beuchel. "Modernizing of the buildings will take some time, but we intend to'offer nationally advertised materials for the home builder and Do-It-Yourself trade while the work is in progress," he continued. Attractive displays will be maintained featuring wall surfacing, hardware and all builder items in the various departments set up to help the shopper make selection efficiently and quickly, Mr. Beuchel said.

The Inglervood Lum,ber Company is a pioneer Southern California retail lumber organization and was established 35 years ago to service the fast growing communities in the area.

Do-lt'Yourself Building Sfore for lorkspur

Larkspur, California, May 6: Opening of a store in Larkspur for the "do-it-yourself" man or woman, was announced by proprietor James M. Corbet of Kentfield. The store is to have a complete line of home building materials, tools and gardening equipment.

Simplicity In Salesmanship

It used. to be thought that the fundamental rule of salesmanship-the A-B-C of selling-was-"Always Be Clever." But the time came when a better sales thought took the place of that one, and "Always Be Simple" was the text. Because the three most important fundamentals of modern salesmanship are-

Be simple.

Be convincing.

Be conclusive.

Because in fact, everyday salesmanship in its practical application to business is NOT an art, NOT a science, NOT modern magic of any sort, but is simply the ability to do the following very commonplace things:

Call on as many prospects as possible. Know what you have to sell in terms of HIS needs and desires. Meet

Alan Shively, Los Angeles lumberman, and Mrs. Shively, spent two weeks during last month in Oroville, Chester and Susanville on business. While in Northern California he visited with George Burnett, in Sacramento, who is well known in Los Angeles lumber circles. Enroute home calls rvere made in San Francisco and the Bay Area on the lumber companies represented in the south by Mr. Shively.

every prospect smilingly and with dignity, shake hands firmly, look him square in the eye, and tell your sales story tersely, directly, interestingly, convincingly, and conclusively.

The first of these three fundamentals is the most important. Sam Jones used to say that many preachers failed of success in the ministry because they did not get their fodder down where the cattle could reach it. The average salesman who fails, does so because he doesn't get his "fodder" within reach of the prospects. He doesn't expose himself to a sufficient number of orders. He lacks the enthusiasm to keep going, keep calling, keep smiling, and keep telling that sales story to enough prospects.

Be simple, be convincing, be conclusive, and be those three things to just as many prospects as possible.

Don Muller, sales manager for Lerrett Lumber Company, visited retail lumber dealers in Arizona and the Imperial Valley during the last two weeks of May.

Wayne Wilson and Jerry Essley, D. C. Essley & Son, Los Angeles, spent several days last month in Palm Springs with their families. While guests at the Sand Villa in the Southern California spa they both secured A-1 sun tans.

Griffee Soys Associofed Woods Are "Zooming"

Recently W. E. Griffee, of Portland, Oregon, Assistant Secretary-Manager of the Western Pine Association, made a speech to the annual convention of the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association, at Chicago, in which he made some very interesting statements concerning lumber produ'ction in the Western Pine areas. He gave them some terse practical facts concerning the woods covered by his association that were no doubt useful to his listeners.

For instance, he said: "Just before World War Two the annual production of Ponderosa Pine was about 3% to 4 billion feet. Idaho White Pine, Sugar Pine, and LarchDouglas Fir accounted for 300 to 500 million each, and neither White Fir nor Spruce produ,ction often got about 100 million feet. During and after the war the production of Pine held fairly steady and should continue to do so, but that of other species, which we call the 'Associated Woods,' has zoomed. The output of Larch-Douglas Fir and Engelmann Spruce has more than tripled. White Fir output is about ten times the prewar figure. Last year our mills shipped nearly 100,000 .carloads of Larch-Douglas Fir and White Fir."

Mr. Griffee explains some of the reasons for the great development in White Fir in the following way:

"For example, it was obvious that the shipment of green White Fir during the war had badly damaged the reputa-

tion of that wood with many users. Something had to be done. A recommendation that the mills ship only dry White Fir was merely a first step. The Grading Bureau inspectors who visit the mills each month began urging that White Fir be dried, machined and graded just as carefully as are the 'Western Pines. Our laboratory's three seasoning experts gave special help with White Fir. When those of us in the main office visited the mills we gave the campaign a boost. Dealer and consumer advertising began to plug for dry White Fir. Some of you helped too by insisting that your White Fir all be dried before shipment.

"This concerted campaign got results. Nearly all mills are now doing a good job with their White Fir. The improved product, plus effective advertising and promotion by the Association and its members, have made it possible to find markets for the greatly increased output at prices which are comparable with most competing species."

In a general round-up of the physical facts concerning Western area forests, Mr. Griffee takes a hard slap at the Forest Service for its slowness in marketing of virgin timber. His review of the,whole situation is in this fashion:

"Our industry accounts for roughly one-fourth of the country's total softwood output. Timber stands are scattered through the twelve western states, except a narrow strip along the Pacific €oast. The B0 million acres of actual

forest area are somewhat larger than the three states of Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

"The transcontinental railroads follow the lower valley and desert routes so when you go west by train you are impressed by how much of the land is not forested. However, there are ample timber reserves and growing capacity to maintain the present level of production indefinitely.

"About three-fourths of the commercial timber in our region is controlled by various government agencies. This is scarcely an advantage, so far as timber for sawmills is concerned, because some of these agencies, particularly the Forest Service, market the mature tim,ber so slowly that much of their virgin timber will die before it is harvested.

"Virgin stancls usually don't increase in volume because the overmature trees die as fast as new trees grow. Progressive private operators go through their mature stands just as fast as possible, logging overripe trees which might die before the next cutting. This leaves room for the younger trees to grow. Hoarding mature timber does not add to the supply. An old stand has to be logged, at least once over lightly, before it begins to gror,r'.

"1150 private timber owners have registered 5-113 million acres as Western Pine tree farms on which they will give the protection and manag'ement necessary to grow commercial forest crops. We know that many of the best managed timber lands in the west are privately owned.

"The great area of our region and the wide variety of climatic conditions found in it account for there being more species of commercial trees than are found in other softwood regions. Ponderosa Pine grows at moderate ele-

vations throughout the region and both Douglas Fir and White Fir are widely distributed at higher elevations or where there is plenty of moisture. Sugar Pine and Incense Cedar are confined to California and southern Oregon. Idaho White Pine, Inland Red Cedar and Western Larch grow mostly in the Inland Empire, which is drained by the Columbia River. Engelmann Spruce and Lodgepole Pine are found in the higher country all dorvn through the Rockv Mountains."

(Bosed on CIAPA chort)

The accompanying chart, giving 1953 injury figures of the California Lumbermen's Accident Prevention Association, shows that this Association is actively interested in preventing injuries. In 1950, the injury frequency rate was 64. In 1953, it was 48.8, a 25/o teduction.

The chart shows the following major causes of injuries:

5. Falling, slipping, stumbling '.21.CI% of total

8. Lifting, pushing, pulling - '. '.16.2% of total

14. Handling lumber or materials .12.5% of total

9. Struck by falling and flying objects '.11.6% of total

These, incidentally, are the major causes in most industries.

To eliminate these four causes of injuries would be a tremendous and difficult job. However, they can easily be ' greatly reduced by "careful planning." Careful planning means planning on at least three levels:

Engineering

SuPervisorY

Placing and training of workers

Planning is largely based on past experience, which can be obtained only by a thorough investigation of each and every injury. The results of each investigation should be passed on to all foremen and supervisors, so that they in turn can benefit by them and plan to eliminate the danger.

The Number Five item-falling, slipping, stumbling-is generally caused by:

a. IJnsafe working surfaces.

b. Inadequate shoes for the job.

c. Poor housekeePing.

d. Too much haste.

The Number Eight item-lifting, pushing and pullingis generally caused bY:

a. Unsafe working surfaces.

b. Lack of mechanical lifting devices.

c. Lack of training in lifting.

The Number Fourteen item-handling lumber or materials-is generally caused by:

a. Lack of protective apparel, such as gloves, leather aprons, and special tools.

b. Lack of training of workmen as to how to handle materials and how to protect fellow workmen'

The Number Nine item-struck by falling and flying objects-is generally caused bY:

a. Lack of training of workmen in staying clear of material being handled by cranes, loaders, etc.

b. Improper methods of releasing binders on logs and lumber trucks.

c. Lack of head protection.

The most efiective preventiVe 'measures for all four causes of injuries are:

a. Enforcement of rules and recommendations; and

b. Thorough job training procedures for all workmen.

After a careful study of the efiectiveness of the C. R. Johnson Safety Award Group in the Redwood area, the California Lumbermen's Accident Prevention Association officers and directors formulated a district plan for all concerns have both logging and sawmill operations' The program consists of setting uP:

a. Safety committees for each department (with their duties outlined).

b. Injury investigation procedures.

c. Injury prevention measures.

Awards will be given at the end of each calendar year for the best records.

If this plan gets proper backing from both labor and management, operating as a teani, (as in the case of the Forest Products Section of the California Industrial Safety Conference) ; and if the industry remembers that' injury prevention is a goal in itself, a goal which will not only eliminate suffering and financial loss to employees, but will lower production costs at the same time-then the results will be most gratifying.

Accomplishing a good injury prevention program takes more than just appointing a committee. It calls for a good selling job, with top management as the head salesman.

Toct ond Diplomocy

Many good stories are told illustrating the use of that cardinal principle of tact, or diplomacy. The oldest, of course, was the one of the man who opened the bathroom door to discover the lady in the tub, and backed away with the tactful apology of "Excuse me, SIR."

But here is a splendid illustration of that same old thought that saved the life of a soothsayer.

A Caliph dreamed one night that his beard fell out, leaving his face entirely without hair. He called in a soothsayer, told him the dream, and demanded that he explain the meaning of the dream.

"Commander of the faithful," said the soothsayer, bluntly, "your dream means that all of your family, down to your youngest child, will die before your eyes."

"Take him away and behead him for this monstrous interpretation," cried the enraged Caliph, who did not care to hear bad news.

Then he called in another soothsayer, and told him the dream, demanding that he interpret its meaning. But this soothsayer had learned diplomacy.

"Great One," said he, "you should rejoice for this dream brings you great promise. It means that you will have a very long life, in fact, your life will be prolonged beyond that of all the members of your family. Yes, even the youngest,. shall fail to outlast you."

And the second soothsayer was sent away with money and precious gifts. He had said the same thing the first one did, but couched it in diplomatic terms.

Ozqrk Advice

Said the old Ozark mountaineer to his son, who seemed growing restless: "Son, don't go roamin' 'round. Stay home. Get yourself a passel of mountain land, always get your seed corn back, never fail to attend the annual foot-washin' on the second Tuesday in May, vote the Demercratic ticket straight in the fall-an' you'll live long an' prosper."

Nominotions Glosed

Rastus: "Brother President, we needs a cuspido'."

President of the Eight-Ball-Club: "I nominates Brothah Brown as cuspido' of dis heah club."

Thcrf Wqs He

Landlady: "A professor formerly occupied this room. He invented an explosive."

New Roomer: "Ah ! I suppose those spots on the ceiling are the explosive?"

Landlady: "No, those are the professor."

His "Atics" Were the Strongest

The dusky highwayman stepped out in front of thi: elderly colored brother.

"Tho up you han's, boy," he ordered.

"Ah cain't; Ah gots rhumatics," replied the other.

"!es l6in-Ah gots automatics," said the highwayrnan, sternly.

"You win, Mistah, you win," he said as his hands went up; "looks lak you' 'atics' is de stronges'."

Journey's End

I'd like to go to London, I'd buy a scarlet gown

And silver-buckled slippers

To dance in the town.

I'd like to go to Samarkand

And linger in the dusk

To purchase from a camel pack Sandalwood and musk.

I'd like to go to Tokyo-

At some shop near the sea

I'd buy a carved elephant

And sip at perfumed tea.

With such a wanderlust, it's strange I find my heart's desire

In peace and love and happiness. Beside my cottage fire.

-Lexie Dean Robertson

A Little Counfry Home

We bought a little country home, Away from carts and cars, And oily smoke. They did not charge Us extra for the stars, Or singing birds, or for the clouds, That dropped their scented showers. They sold us just the house and lot, But all the SKY was ours.

-Rowena Bennett

Jqmes Whitcomb Riley Wrote

The sun had a gown, Wrought of gilded thistledown, And a scarf of velvet vapor, And a revelled,rainbow gown, And his tinsel-tangled hair, Tossed and lost upon the air, Was glossier and flossier Than any anywhere.

More About The Southern Colifornicr Old Timers

On Wednesday morning, April 21, at the annttal convention of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association, the day started with a breakfast for the "Oldsters" in the retail lumber industry in the area, presided over eloquently by E. C. Parker, of Los Angeles, as reported in the May 15 issue of THE CALIFORNIA I-UMBER MERCHANT.

In a recent issue of his association bulletin that follorved the convention, Orrie W. Hamilton revierved that breakfast in a way that deserves reprinting on account of the more detailed remarks concerning the heroes of the event. The bulletin says :

The breakfast meeting honoring the "Oldsters" in the retail lumber industry in Southern California proved to be the most interesting business session at the lumbermen's 37th annual meeting and trade show. The highlights of the meeting, attended by 105 top lumber executives, was the greeting of the retail lumber dealers rn'ho have been and are now actively engaged in the retail lumber business in this area for approximately 50 years or more, and thought-provoking talks by tn,o otttstanding lumber executir.'es. Everett C. Parker, l'ast Presiclent, Southern Califorr-ria Retail Lumber Association, officiated at this delightful meeting. The follorving are a few of Mr. Parker's opening remarks:

"This meeting is a continuation of our monthly meetings lvhich rve have been holding' now for about t'lvo years. We u'ould have had this meeting a couple of u'eeks ago if it hadn't been for this Convention. These monthly meetings have done a whole lot for the industry. For instance, we have had the help of Frank Rickinger in our car loading program l'hich has made it cheaper and also safer for you to unload cars of lumber. Then too, we have had a gradirlg committee rvhich has done a lot of rvork, but still there is a lot more u,ork to do largely because the West Coast Lumbermen's Association has more or less run into a little difficulty concerning it. Horvever, we are rvorking on the grade manipulation problem and hope to have an early solution. It is commonll- called the 'salting process' and all

of you knorv that it is very serious. Then t<lo, as you knolv, this industry needs stabilization. There seems to be no other way that anyone can think of, that is-any practical rvay, for us to do anything about stabilization except to have these friendly monthly meetings. If, however, any of you know any otl.rer t'av to arrive at stabilization, rve rvoulcl like to knorv rvhat it is. In that regard, the cost stlrveys which are made out by our Association have shou'n that in 1951 and 1952, on the average, all the lumber dealer in Southern California made and lvas able to keep out for himself after taxes u,as right at 17"o. There .lvas a tremendous volume which rve had in 1953 and although the cost survey has not yet been issued, there is no doubt that the record for 1953 rvill be little if any better, so stabilization is necessary. I lr''ould like to ask this question. Isn't it about time that all lumber dealers in Southern California or their representatives make it a point to come to these monthly meetings to see if something cannot be done to help our industry?

"We have the Old Timers here today. They knorv from experience, these Olcl Timers do, that the experience of the past three years n'ill pass, and that l'e t'ill soon or at some time or other be on higher ground, and, as Dr. McFarland saicl yesterclav. "the ltusiness elevator goes up and it goes do\\,n," ancl I might sav that the lttmber industry is on an elevator going dorvn in the past three years. These Old Timers will also knolv that in the past 50 years that just about half of those years have been good years and just about half have been not so good or from bad to poor. These Old Timers, I think, can argue with me about the good years. It 'n'ould be m1' opinion the good vears in the lumber industry in Southern California for the last 50 years have been as follon's: from 1904 to 1907 inclusive, then 1911 and 1912, then 1920, 1921, 1922, 7923 and 1924, then 1936 and 1937 rvere relatively good only because we had had the sales depression ahead of that. Then we had the years from 1940 to 1948 inclusive, rvhich were good years. Then we had 1950. That makes about

(Continued from Page 44)

23 years out of 50 years that we have had good years and about 27 years that we have had years not very good, and some bad to poor. But these Old Timers will not argue with me but will agree that over a period of 50 years, this industry has been very good to lumber dealers. That the people here and the people in our industry are engaged in a mighty fine business.

"As we have a long program about the best we can do is to introduce each Old Timer and let him take a bow.

"Probably the oldest Old Timer in California with experience in the lumber business in California and still active, is FRANK CURRAN. Frank Curran and his brother Charlie started a yard in Pomona in 1892 called the Curran Lumber Co. Frank has had a lot of experience in the lumber business, having been manager of E. K. Wood for many years and is now active as President of the Frank Curran Lumber Co. in Santa Ana, with three or four other yards in that area. And so f would like to have Frank Curran take a bow.

"Probably the next Old Timer in point of service in Southern California is FRANK GIBBS. Frank Gibbs started his lumber career in Southern California in 1898 with the old California Planing Mill which was then located on South Main near Western. Frank Gibbs was, f think, with Ganahl for a long time too. Frank is now active and is President of the Gibbs Lumber Co. with headquarters in.Anaheim and other yards in that area. I might say that in that regard, that in the earlier days Frank did a tot of work for the industry, being on various committees in our Association.

"The next pro'bably in point of service (I am sorry he is not here) is HAL BALY who started with the old Kerhoff-Cuzner Mill & Lumber Co. in 1899 and was for many years with E. W. Wood and with Consolidated. He is the President of the San Fernando Lumber Co. in San Fernando which he started in 1918. Frank Curran tells me that he thinks he is down in Mexico now.

"CHESTER KNIGHT who is associated with Hal Baly at San Fernando Lumber Co. is probably the next Old Timer, having started in 19O1 in Mendocino County. In 1904 he moved to Wilmington where he acquired one-half interest in the Lumber Surveyors Association which you fellows probably remember in the old days. He sold out in 1908. He continued in the lumber industry and is now, as f say, with the San Fernando Lumber Co.

"The next Old Timer is GEORGE LOUNSBERRY who started in lX)Z with the old Rozell Brothers at 19th and Main St. in Los Angeles. In 1903 George organized the Lounsberry & Teagarden Lumber Co. in Alhambra and this was sold out a little later. In 1904 George took over the operation of a yard which his father had started. In 1905 he formed an association with Mr. llarris, a partnership which has lasted for about 50 years. George is the Vice President and Secretary of Lounsberry & Harris Lum,ber Co. with yards in San Fernando and Hollywood. George has done a tremendous lot of work for our Association, has been to meetings all over this State and has done a lot of good work, and I myself have sat on many, many meetings with him on labor relations in the last

fifteen years, and I can say that he is most effective, and besides being most effective in these labor negotiations he has the respect of all the labor negotiators as well as the respect of the lumbermen.

"The next gentleman probably, and by the way this was quite a research job-next year Orrie is going to start earlier-there might be several in Southern California that we may have missed.

"The next is SYD SMITH. He embarked on his lumber career in 1903, in San Diego in the old Indio Street Planing Mill. In 1905 he went to work for the Western Lumber Co. where he was employed until 1917. He continued in the lumber,business and then \n 1937 opened his own yard in San Diego.

"The next Old Timer in point of service in California is probably HERSCHELL LARRICK. His first experience in the lumber business came in 1904 cleaning up the shavings and sacking sawdust and kindling up in San Francisco. In 1907 he became the office boy for the South City Lumber Co. in San Francisco and continued in the industry until 1910 when he went to San Diego and was with the Benson Lumber Co. until 1920 when he went with the Barr Lumber Co. and was their manager in Santa Ana and left there to start and organize his own yard in Solana Beach between here and San Diego.

"The next in point of service is probably WALTER HARRIS. He embarked on his career in California in 1905 when he became associated with George Lounsberry in the firm of Lounsberry & Harris. They have a big yard on

San Fernando Road and in Hollywood. He is well-known among lumbermen for his sound business judgment.

"The next in point of service is probably ROY SANDEFUR. He is now Vice President and General Manager of the Dill Lumber Co. with 7 or 8 yards in the Riverside area, such as Hemet, Elsinore, Bloomington, etc. He began his career in 1905 with the J. G. Gill Lumber Co. in San Bernardino as a delivery boy and continued there until that firm sold out to the Hayward Lumber Co. in 1911 and he worked with Hayward until 1926 when he and Mr. Dill and Mr. Dill's sons started the Dill Lumber Co. in that area. He is another man who has done a lot of work for the Association, traveling to Association meetings all over the State.

"The next one in point of service is no doubt PAUL HALLINGBY. Paul started with the Hammond Lumber Co. in San Francisco in 1905. He came to Los Angeles in 1913 with Hammond and is now Vice President and General Manager of the Southern Division of Hammond Lumber Co. with large supply yards and about twenty branch yards in the area. Paul has done a great deal of work throughout the years for this Association. He was President of this Association in t927 or 1928 and' has also traveled all over the State and in this connection, I can't forget what I think he did for this industry during the O.P.A. days when we got a very favorable price through the O.P.A. Paul's fine ability is recognized by all who know him.

"The next one is FRANCIS BOYD who started in picking up sticks in his father's yard when he was a little boy. In 1905 Francis went to work with his brother, Scott, in the Boyd Lumber Co. in Monrovia. He started in driving a team of horses at that yard. I happen to know that he is quite an athlete because in 1903 and 1904 when I was in Redlands High School trying to get on the track team, Francis Boyd was on it. He was the pole vaulter there in his high school days. He is now the co-owner of the Boyd Lumber Co. in Santa Barbara.

"The next one in point of service is, no doubt, ROSS BLANCHARD. Ross started in the lumber business in 1901 in Oklahoma City. He came to Southern California in 1911, when he went with the Blanchard Lumber Co. owned by his father in Burbank. They have yards in Burbank and North Hollywood. Ross has also been very active in Association work in past years.

"Then another Old Timer is CONNIE GANAHL. Con-

nie started in his father's yard, Christian Ganahl, in Los Angeles in 1905. The yard began in 1884. Connie is now the President of the C. Ganahl Lumber Co., probably the oldest lumber company in Los Angeles or vicinity operating under the same old name.

"There are still a few gentlemen who have been in the lumber industry for quite a number of years but did not qualify as'Old Timers.' ASA FICKLING, Fickling Lumber Co., Long Beach, started in the lumber business in 1900 in South Dakota, came to Southern California in 1920. He is a past President of the Association and has been very active in Association work.

"ED STONER started with the Stoner Lumber Co. and is now General Manager of Sawtelle Lumber Co. He started in the lumber business in 1909 and opened'his yard in t922.

"The next Old Timer is ERNEST GANAHL who started with his father in 1905, and started a yard in 1972 in Anaheim.

"The next Old Timer, WALTER SPICER, rvho started in the lumber business in l9l2 and for many years owned his own yard in the Newport Beach area, and is now associated with Ward & Harrington in Newport Beach.

"The next Old Timer is ALBERT E. ROGERS, President and Manager of the Hyde Park Lumber Co. He started in 1908 in Lawrence, Missouri. In 1922 he came to California and opened his present yard on Crenshaw Blvd. in Los Angeles.

"f see another old friend, FRANK OLSON, my old boss. He started in about l%)7 or 1908. He is now co-owner of the Olson Lumber Co. in Alhambra.

"Let's give these men a hand."

Hcrrdwood Distributors Associotion Meeting June 2l to 23 ot Oioi

Hal von Breton, secretary of the Pacific Coast Wholesale Hardwood Distributors Association, announced last month the annual convention of 'the organization will be held at the Ojai Valley Inn June 21,22 and 23'

According to Fred Smales, president of the Association, hardwood dealers from all cities in the west are expected to attend the three day conclave and many interesting speakers have been booked to address the group on present day marketing conditions.

ffitUormqn Mcrson Mcrkes FHA Reconimendcltions

Norman Mason, former president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association and newly appointed acting commissioner of the Federal Housing Administration, has made public his suggestions and recommendations for tightening the housing laws and preventing further abuses of same. He made the following' recommendations: Lenders should be required to exercise "more responsibility" in connection with the FHA's home repair and modernization loan insurance program.

Builders should be required to submit "cost ,certification" for all multi-family housing programs upon completion of the projects so that mortgage amounts would be based on actual costs, not estimates.

The Federal Housing Commissioner should be given the authority to suspend those who "violate the letter and spirit of the National Housing Act." Officials said this would include denying use of the Government's housing aids to builders, lenders and consumers.

Builders of certain kinds of cooperative housing projects for sale to home buyers should be required to put down a minimum of. a 5/o cash investment. Right no\'\', housing officials say no cash dorvn payment is. required.

Mr. Mason's recommendations centered mostly on abuses revealed in the two FHA housing programs currently under investigation. One prog'ram, the so-called section 608 program, involved FHA insurance for big apartment projects before it was terminated in 1950. The investigations have

brought out that builders made multi-million-dollar "windfall" profits in the program by pocketing the difference between over-sized loans and the actual cost of construction. Although the section 608 program has ended, investigators fear similar abuses may be going on in other rnultifamily housing programs and want to avert future scandals.

The other program under fire is the home repair and modernization program under which the Administration has admitted that "thousands" of home owners have been "fleeced" by having to pay exorbitant prices for shoddy home repairs.

To correct any future abuses under the Title I home repair program, Mr. Mason urged:

The FHA commissioner should determine the eligibility of loans on the basis of whether the repair "substantially contributes to the livability and comfort of the home and rvhether the kind of repair is peculiarly subject to selling abuses."

On the basis of livability, for instance, the FHA commissioner would exclude barbecue pits, swimming pools and such luxury items, while under the other category he might rule out fire alarm systems, burglar alarms and other items rvhich have been shown up as subject to abuse, according to Mr. Mason.

"f was shocked," Mr. Mason said in transmitting of the recommendations, "to learn that swimming pools and barbecue pits were being built with federally-insured mort-

The FHA commissioner should be given specific authority to suspend dealers, salesmen and others who "abuse the home repair program."

A borrower should not be permitted by multiple loans to borrow in excess of $3,OOO "or wltatever top loan amount Congress may determine" to finance the repair of a single family structure. The present Title I limit is $2,500 but the Administration has asked for an increase to $3,000.

The criminal code should be strengthened to prevent the misuse of the initials FHA as well as the full title for the agency in advertising or corporate names in such a way as to suggest "that a dealer or product is connected with or approved by the FHA."

No Title I loan should be permitted on a new'house until six months after the l-rouse has been completed. This is supposed to prevent abuses involving the use of Title I loans to provide the downpayment for the purchase of a new home or other "tie-in arrangements," according to Mr. Mason.

Lenders should be required to carry through "to a judgment" a claim against a borrou'er tvho goes into default on a repair loan insured by the FHA before the lender submits a claim to the Federal agency to make good on the loan.

The FHA chief also recommended that the FHA unit in charge of Title f be "enlarged and strengthened"; the lender tell the consumer in advance the amount of loan and the finance charges and warn him of possible abuses; that all home repair salesmen be required' to certify to the

absence of "selling abuses"; and that the FHA a "vigorous educational campaign to enlighten consumers who make purchases financed under repair program."

Arthur A. Koyser

Arthur A. Kayser, a SO-year lumber veteran, and one of the most widely known lumbermen in the west, died at Los Angeles on May 11 after a short illness.

Kayser's career began in the Puget Sound country when sailing vessels still carried a sizable part of the northwest lumber cut to foreign ports. He started with the pioneer Skinner-Eddy Company mill. at historic 'Port Blakely at the turn of the century, and rose rapidly to become mill superintendent. In the 1920's he worked for the Portland Lumber Mills and East Side Lumber Company at Portland in various official capacities.

In I9D he began his long and noted career with the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in the department of grades (later changed to West Coast Bureau of Lumber Grades and Inspection).

lVlore than any single man he was resPonsible for the introduction of grade marking into the Los Angeles area where he spent most of the last quarter century. For a year around 1940, Kayser came back to Portland as assistant superintendent of the department of grades, but by 1941 he returned to Los Angeles to resume his enthusiastic promotion of lumber'grade marking and west coast lumber specifically.

Kayser was recognized as one of the keenest minds in the lumber industry. He knew lumber and he knew what it would do. Under his leadership, association work spread and expanded tremendously in the southern California area. Probably no man in lumber was better liked by all segments of the industry.

Two years ago Kayser retired, but the industry he loved and which so respected him would not let him completely

retire. The Detroit Lumbermen's Association employed him for several months as a constlltant on some special proj ects.

Last year, the West Coast llureau of Lumber Grades and Inspections coaxed him back out of retirement that we suspect was tiresome to him and he handled some special assignments in the southern states.

Kayser was a walking evangeiist for tl.re u,est coast lumber industry. No problem about lumber was too tough for him and he was never knor,vn to duck a good friendly argument on the relative merits of the species he represented. It was always a big day when Art Kavser shou,ed up at the U. S. Forest Products Laboratorl' at Madison, Wisconsin. Kayser's name was a legend and his fabulous knowledge of wood was even more u'ondrous to those in the trade.

Kayser was a prime story teller and it was an unforgettable pleasure to sit in on a good Kayser story-telling bee. He claimed he was some day going to rvrite his experiences, and it most surely would have been a best seller. But there was always a job at hand that needed doing and the writing job was never tackled.

Kayser was a walking evangelist for the $rest coast lumwas one of the older members of Hoo-Hoo holding card No. 20,054. Among his many affiliations rvas l-ris membership in the Los Angeles Chamber of Cornmerce, rvhich he prized highly.

Mrs. Art Kayser passed away tu,o years ago. They are survived by a daughter, Mrs. H. G. Helmer, and a granddaughter, Kirsten Ann Helmer, both of Los Angeles. Art Kayser is survived by a sister, Mrs. Lily Stephenson, of Seattle, Washington. Funeral services l'ere in Los Angeles on May 15.

Mr. Bendorf is on an eight-week survey trip of the United States which will take him to New York City via Texas and the deep south.
