THE CALIFORI\IA

For A United California An Editorial

f N A RECENT address before the convention of the I Lumber Association of Southern California, Art Hood, senior statesman of the lumber industry and now a resident of California, bluntly advised the members that it was imperative that the industry begin to take action to form a strong and united State Association.

This is a belief which, we understand, has in years past been advanced by other progressive and dedicated men in lumber. but which for various reas,ons has never been able to struggle above the undergrowth of sectional differences and, probably, just plain industry lackadaisicalness.

It seems to us that nor,v it is imperative that the state industry must begin to think in terms of State Association

union, if it is to overcome its present problems, if it is- to forse ahead with the State itsalf-forecast to be in a few yea-rs the most populous in the Nation.

No doubt there will be many problems to be worked out, as a result of the sectional oiginization of the State over the many years. A strong Stite As-sociation won't come overniehi. but. in the colirealities of the present day, is it not tifrre-past time !-to begin thinking of and planning toward this goal ?

The California Lumber Merchant welcomes letters and comments on this subject, in the interests of a strong State industry. Let us hear from You !

NRLDA To Esfabfish Network Of

Dealer Educafional Facilities

One of the most important actions taken by the NRLDA Board of Directors at its meeting in Washington May 7 and 8, was to give the National Association responsibility for creating a national education network. William L. Johnson, NRLDA president, who presided during the two-day meeting, said that initiallv the program will b.-e developed at Purdue^ Uiiversitv althougli it is a cooperative effoit of NRLDA, the Federated Associations. and the "founders" (a group of building materials manufacturers who have pledged financial support).

A report on negotiations with Pur- due University was made by the chairman of tire NRLDA Education Committee. J. Robert Knecht, of Rapid City, South Dakota. Mr. Knecht s;id that the objectives of the program are: to develop instructional mai-erials for the industry; operate correspondence courses for persons in the industry; encourage the creation of a nationil network with other universities : and train program instructors. Emphasis will be on needs of all dealeri with particular recognition of those in nonmetropolitan areas.

An Educational Guidance Committee will be established to offer guidance on the type. leugth. numbeiancl content of the courses. The committee rvill be composed of orre representative from Purdue University and one from the NRLDA staff, p[u. two repre- sentatives from the founders group, one from the Federated Association managing officers and two members from the NRLDA Education Committee.

Developments of the HAPI program

were reported on by Paul R. Ely, of North Platte, Nebraska, chairman of the NRLDA Market Develooment Committee, and E. F. Walsh, NIiLDA intra-industry relations director. Mr. E,ly reported to the Board that "progress to date has been tremendous, but the job has just started." He said that manufacturers who had developed tie- in plans with the program were delighted with the results.

"Trade press, shelter press and general magazines have been plugging the HAPI progranl continuouslyi'-hJtold the Board. "We hope to develop the strongest selling organization that this country has even known. We want the HAPI program to develop us into some of the most imaginative, most aggressive salesmen in the country."

Mr. Walsh reported that while fhe program is less than one year old, some 500 dealers have been through the HAPI training course and thEy have become in turn the best salesmeh for the program. Mr. Walsh said that one dealer reported a fe.iv months after his graduation that he had a 40 percent increase in sales and a 20 oerient increase in profits which were directly attributable to the information h; gained in attending a HAPI course.

G. Kenneth Nlilliken, executive vice president of the Southwestern Lumberrnen's Association, outlined to the Board a program his association l-ras been carrying on for the past four years, known as the Intra-it.rdustry 'Iearnwork Program.

Following Mr. Milliken's presentation, Charles J. Spahn, Dubuque, Iowa, chairman of trhe NRLDA Marketing

Committee, proposed that the program be adopted by NRI-DA. It was the recommendation of the Marketing Committee that the National conduct a pilot program which would bring the various segments of the industry together at the NRLDA Exposition in Chicago this fall. The pattern of a continuing program would be dependent on developments at the pilot demollstratlon.

The purpose of the program is to comrnunicate to the manufacturers and wholesalers the importance and essentiality of retail lumber and building materials dealers in the distribution of building materials. It rvould be explained in this pilot program how the manufacturer, wholesaler and the dealer can vierv the common problems of marketing building materials in the best interest of the consuming public.

The Board of Directors approved the Marketing Committee's recomnrendations.

Congressman David Martin (R.Neb.), an NRLDA member who operates a retail lumber business in Nebraska, explained to the Board a bill l-re l.ras recently introduced in Congress designed to break up monopolies in the field of labor. He pointed out that the present climate in Congress made it unlikely his bill would be passed this year. He said it was important that businessmen everywhere be alerted to the dangers of union monopolies and should do everything in their power to elect Congressmen who r,vould deal rvith this vital matter.

The activity of one union wl-rich Congressman Martin felt was especi- ally detrimental to the national interest u'as a drive to have all union contracts terminate or.r the same day. Thus, if a strike u'ere called it would be nationwide and exert tremendous pressure on employers to settle the strike quickly.

Congressmar.r X,Iartin's proposals rvould hold a union's size to the oarticrrlar company enrploying its workers. Intornational unions could exist only in an advisory capacity.

Despite the unfavorable climate for passage of the bill at this time, there exists a demand throughout the country for this legislation and it .lvill be passed sometime. he said.

Stuart Caves, Honeoye Falls, New York, chairman of the NRLDA Materiais Handling Committee, reported that the most significant accomplisl-rment during the past year has been tl.re use of flatcars for the shipment of lrrmber. The cost saving in ihis type

AT HOME IN ANY SETTING Lam-Loc Pecky Cedar lives comfortably in almost every architectural surrounding. ILs pedigree is acceptable in even the oldest forms, including this uninhibited Spanish atmosphere. Here it compliments the traditional somber tones and at the same time provides staunch support for vivid accent colors. Devotees of conventional, early American, oriental and contemporary also recognize Lam-Loc Pecky Cedar as pleasant company. Good acoustical qualities, easy maintenance and practical longevity make it a friend of both home owner and commercial builder. I Lam-Loc Pecky Cedar is a favorite with dealers too. One inventory for both interior and exterior applications, specialty item mark-up and growing popularity are good reasons for a vote of confidence. For those dealers who haven't discovered the comfortable nature of Lam-Loc Pecky Cedar, we have a friendly merchandising plan that wilI get you acquainted. AII it costs is your time to ask about it.

There is no room for sadness when we see a cheery smile, It always has the same good look, it's never out of s.tyle. It nerves us on to try again when failure makes us blue, The dimples of encouragement are good for me and you. It pays a higher interest, for it is merely lent, It's worth a million dollars, and it doesn't cost a cent. (Anon.)

What this country needs is a lower rate of interest on money and a higher rate of interest in work.

Josh Billings, quaint humorist of two generations ago, once said: "Consider the postage stamp. Its usefulness consists in its ability to stick to one thing until it gets there."

In a small Western city a garage man hung out a sign that read: "IJse genuine parts. No-substitutes are as good. Ask the man with the vvooden leg. He knows."

'fhe bigger the man the more child-like is his nature. He is more charitable. He is never hurt by criticism. He never criticizes except to help. He is always open to suggestions. He is always ieady to assist the unfortunate. He"ian hurt no one without hurting himself ; no one can hurt him without hurt to himself.

_ English is a hard language to learn. At least so said the Frenchman, who put it thiJway: "'When I first discovered that when I was quick I was fast, and that if I was tied I was fast, if I speht too freely I was fast, and that not to eat was to fast-I was discouraged. But when I came across tlre sentence, 'The first one wor.l one one-dollar prize', I gave up trying to learn English."

of shipment, Mr. Caves said, is tremendous. While some manufacturers are making an upcharge for this type of shipment at the present time, Mr. Caves remarked he was confident that competition will remove this as it has in many other industries.

Mr. Caves also,reported on efforts by the NRLDA committee to standardize and unitize shipments of many other building materiils. Many associations are going to come to us, he said, but we will need the support of all dealers in requesting more standard.ization and unitization.

'Io make the program work, he added, it will be necessary for dealers to.accept the standards as they are developed and conform to a rigid set of specifications.

On the subiect of law. Abe Lincoln once uttered this eloquent opini,on: "Let reverence for law be breathed by every mother to her lisping babe. Teach it in colleges. Write it in primers, spelling books and almanacs. Preach it in pulpits. Proclaim it in the legislative halls. Enforce it in the courts of justice. Let it become the political religion of every naiion, and let men and women of all tongues and colors sacrifice unceasingly at its altars."

On the subject of taxes, that wise man, Benjamin Franklin, wrote: "T,axes are indeed heavy. And if those laid by the government were the only ones we had to pay, we might more easily discharge them. But we have many others, and much more grievous ones to some of us. We are taxed twice as much for idleness, three times as much for our pride, and four times as much for our folly. And from these taxes the commissioners cannot ease or deliver us by allowing an abatement."

Put a magnifying glass over your joys, so that all who see you will be able to bear witness. But your troubles, pack them tight and hide them away so that none who see or hear you will realize that you possess such things.

Getting out a paper is no picnic.

If we print jokes, people say we are silly.

If we don't, they say we're too serious.

If we publish original matter, they say we lack variety. If we publish things fron-r other p'apers, they say we are lazy.

If we are out rustlir.rg ner,vs, they say we are not tending to business. If we don't print contributior-rs, they say we are not appreciative. If we do print them, they say the paper is full of junk. Like as not someone will sav we swioed this stuff from someone. We did.

said the committee has had an opportunity to review the recommendatiolls of the lumber manufacturers special subcommittee on grade simplifiiation and standardization. These recommendations, yet to be approved by the lumber manufa.cturing industry as a whole, involved the selection of a new set of standardized grade names for finished boards and dimension lumber utilized in the home building rnarket. They involved certain recommended changes in standard lumber sizes in all lumber utilized for housing, including proposals that lumber be trvo size standards (one covering green and one seasoned lumber).

Mr. Hubbell, as the representative of NRI-DA on the American Lumber Standards Committee, reported that he had been advised that when and if these standards were approved by all elements of the lumber manufacturing

industry, they would be submitted to the retail lumber industry for review.

Mr. Hubbell reported that at the ALS Committee meeting it was made known that the proposed changes would apply to all sizes of lumber rather than lt' and 2" dimension as utilized in light frame construction. In view of the fact that this would put a new light on the whole series of recommendations from the subcommittee on standards and simplification, Mr. Hubbell reported that no action was taken by the ALS group in respect to the recommendations,

He expressed the feeling that the retail lumber industry should withhold any approval of the proposed simpli- fied standards until there could be a clear determination of the scope and breath of the changes and their effect on the retail industry and its service to the general public.

ft's "Diamond Jubilee Year" for The r California Door Company of Los Angeles, and employees of the firm are justly wearing their hats a bit more proudly these days.

The history and development of this illustrious firm, from the time of its first transaction on September 1, 1887, closely par'allels that of the lumber industry and of the State of California itself-and may best be characterized by the word,

"Progress." Up To The Times

Caldoor has grou'n with Southern California because it has always kept abreast of the changing conditions. And this, in an area which has been marked by phenomenal change over the past two decades, remains something of a feat in itself.

Much of the credit for this is owing to General Manager Art Parkins and his able staff. Art became associated with the firm in 1947 as salesman, was named sales manager in 1957 and became general manager in 1960.

Senior salesman is Roland V. Pve. with the company over 41 y."rs. i{. covers the territories of southwestern Los Angeles County and portions of the central county.

Representing the firm in northeastern Los Angeles county and in San Bernardino and Riverside counties is Henry A. "Al" Wiens.

Raymond L. "Red" Thompson opens doors (and sells 'em) in southeastern Los Angeles county, Orange and northern San Diego counties.

75 Diamonds Crown Progress of California Door

Dick Moore's territory is central and northwestern Los Angeles county, and Ted Still has the assignment of Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.

Based at the main office and warehouse at 4940 District Blvd. in Los Angeles are: Harold Logan, office and warehouse manager and desk salesman; Kenny Coleman, desk salesman ; Harold Prechtel, bookkeeper and head of office personnel; and Andrew Willock, warehouse superintendent.

\\rhat have been the policies which have guided the operations of this great manufacturing and distributing firm ?

First. of course. has been that of offering Product Quality, whether it be of products manufactured by Caldoor or those which it represents.

Service Requires Hard Work

Second is that of Service. The custorner is always right; he rvas 75 years ago, he still is today. Such a policy is, naturallv. characteristic of all firrns who have for decades remained successful in business; the lack of such attitude is also one reason why many firms, after a few years' operation, go out of business. This business truth would seem to be self-evident, and thus it is often hard to understand r.r'hy it isn't more closely observed. Perhaps because it takes a lot of hard work to give servicer )€&r in and out. The people at California Door believe in work.

A third basic ingredient of successful

constant management knor,vhow, economy of operation, and finally utilization of that somewhat indefinable 'savvy" in knowing how the market is going to go, where and when. Knowledge such as this can be obtained only through business experience: Caldoor has always prided itself on the length of service of its employees. Result? Volume selling enabling competitive prices.

Product Diversification

Last big reason for California Door's continuing success is that of following a line of product diversification which reflects the changing conditions of the building industry.

Generally, the many items offered by the firm fall into the following

Genercl llonoger Art Porkins demonstrotes one of the Coldoor sliding door units which hove opened many soles for lhe progressive Soulhern Colif. firm. operation is that of offering quality merchandise at competitive prices. Pursuit of this policy at Caldoor has required

Solesmen for Colifornia Door, from lcft: Dick Moore, Al Wiens. Red Thompson ond Rolond V. PYe,

classifications: Doors, Windows & Sash ; Metal Sash & Doors; Hardboard Products; Plywood and Frames.

Under each category, however, there is a multitude of items, all of which go to creating customer satisfaction and volume sales.

Take doors, for instance. Panel doors, sash doors & front doors-slab -French-detail-screen & combination-combirlatior.r French-wood louverstore doors & Dutch doors - l'ardrobe closet units-glass louver- Ilel-Air combir.rationsliding glass patio (aluminum)all aluminum screen-and that nerv line which has been pictured on these pages, Wood{old Accordion Doors.

Other categories are similarly diversified, and we shan't list them in detail ; suffice it to say that Caldoor has got u'hat you rvant.

Plywood has become a great selling line in recent years, and is offered in Douglas fir (interior & exterior), prefinished hardwoocl and unfinished harcltvood.

Long History

'fhough The California Door Company of Los Angeles was formed in 1887, the background history of the company and its founders covers a period of over a centrlry.

About 1850 Bartlett Doe received by vessel from Boston "'round the Horn" the first cargo of doors and windows to be landed at San Francisco, and in partnership with his brother, John S. f)oe, began business as the firm of B. & J. S. Doe on Nlarket Street.

George O. Wilson arrived on the Pacific Coast about the same time, first to Puget Sound, then down to

San Francisco a year or so later. Here, rvith his brother Nathaniel Irving \Arilson, he established a business iu doors, windows and blinds under the firm name of Wilson & Brother.

In the '60's Charles Franklin Doe, a brother of tsartlett and John, who operated a San Francisco lumber yard, acouired the door and r.l'indow business of john Hall & Son. E. H. Kittredge, an associate of I)oe, took charge of the business and the name was changed to E. H. Kittredge & Company.

'fhese three pioneer firms were combined during the '70's, but retained tl-reir individual identities until 1884 u'hen they merged under the corporate name of The California Door Company. A large manufacturing plant was constructed in Oakland, and its products $'ere sold throughout the world.

The Date-1887

It was in 1887 that the company's first Los Angeles warehouse was established at Second and San Pedro Streets, to become The California Door Company of Los Angeles. Fol-

lowing a second move in 1905, the present plant at 4940 District Boulevard in Los Angeles was constructed in 1941. This large building has been enlarged and modernized throughout the years.

Just odded is lhe new Woodfold Acco:dion Door line. bound to be c pcpulor item.

And, you guessed il. Art Porkins ogoinl Company officials are G. O. Wilson, San Francisco, president; Chalmers G. Price, Placerville, vice president; Art Parkins, Los Angeles, vice president; and Charles W. Doe, Palo Alto, s e c re tary-t rea s u re r.

In addition to the above, members of the board are W. Stanley Whitaker, San Francisco; James S. Moser, Walnut Grove; George S. Wilson, Jr., Palo Alto; Charles Webster Doe III, Woodlake; and Glen O. Fogleman, Los Angeles.

Mr. Fogleman, who retired in 1958 after 40 years with the company, was for 30 years firm manager in Los Angeles, and it rvas during his stewardship that the company's business kept its steady growth. He still continues u'ith the company as consultant.

Seventy-five years long, seventy-five strong, the record of The California L)oor Company of Los Angeles is one of which the firm and the whole lumber industry can be proud. The California Lumber l\4erchant is happy, in this year of their 'Diamond Jubilee", to salute them on their achievement.

The National-American Wholesale Lumber Association held its 70th annual meeting May 8-10 in Chicago and elected L. J. Fitzpatrick, Madison, Wisconsin, president for the coming year.

Other officers are: Charles E. Clay, Forest Products Sales Co., Inglewood, Calif., lst vice president; David A. Mittell, Lawrence R. McCoy & Co., Inc., Worcester, Mass., 2nd vice president; and W. Barry Everett, EverettHoban, Inc., New York, treasurer.

Reappointment of J. J. Mulrooney as executive vice president and Donald S. Andreu's as Western manag'er was also announced.

In other business the Econo,mic Council's resolution for a joint meeting of manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers to meet and discuss industry problems was approved and partial approval was received from the Nationa.l Lumber Manufacturers Association for the ioint industrv-wide discussions of niarketi.rg proble-s.

The Board of Dire,ctors unanimously supported a program to promote use of car manifests as a method of upholding ethical standards and improv- ing confidence in the buyer in the lumber he receives and in the wholesaler's integrity.

The convention unanimously adopted resolutions:

(l) Urging Congress to prohibit taxation of interstate commerce by states, cities and counties when the vendor doesn't maintain a business establishment.

(2) Recording strong support o'f proposals to provide tax credit for business investment.

(3) Reaffirm opposition to the favored and unjust tax position of cooperatives under present federal law.

The 330 delegates participated in panel discussions during the three days of the convention which examined distribution in the lumber industry. Panel members represented all the major producing areas.

The first panel consisted of representatives of manufacturers rvhose ex-

amination shou'ed improved salesmanship at all levels, manufacturing, wholesaling, and retailing is essential and will grow in importance as lumber becomes a more refined product and as recently developed new products become available in volume.

Continuing the examination of distribution, on the second day a wholesalers panel strongly emphasized the need to improve communications in these channels. The panel fully realized the American privilege of freedom to sell in any channel, but was particularly critical of those manufacturers allowing the functional discount to buyers who are not performing the wholesale function. They felt that the prices should reflect the level at which they are selling, and that to continue this practice u,'as an unsound marketing practi'ce. If he wished to sell at the net price, he should simply quote the net price to such buyers since they are not performing the rvholesale function which the discount is intended to cover.

Another panel discussed the role of associations in lumber rnarketing. The panelists detailed the extensive literature that is made available by the various associations, and brought out the need of getting the literature into the hands of those who can best use it. Also needed the group found was a

system of guidance for the use of the promotional material and coordination of the various associations in the disemination so that correctly used it could result in greatly increased sales.

National-American announced the third Sales Training Program will be conducted this fall and plans for enrollment will be published soon. The new program will offer the Sales Training Manual developed in the first two courses which applies all the basic principles of selling and illustrations of crea.tive salesmanship directly to lumber sales at the manufacturing and rvholesale levels. The manual contains thousands of illustrations drawn from actual experience of the more than 500 employees enrolled in the first two courses. The manual will be completely reorganized and edited by a professional writer of the staff of Sidney Edtund Associates. Directors of the Sales Training Program. A provision of the plan is.to conduct a full _day semlnar ln vanous cities in the U. S. fo,r the convenience of a maximum number of employees.

A good golf tournament was put on by Chairman Don Gow, with an assist from, Snark of the Universe Harvey I(oll, as 51 of the 52 who played enjoyed the fast greens and clear, warm weather. And the one who didn't? None other than club president Joe Petrash who really

showed his golf clubs who was boss on the course by busting them up on the fourth hole. Illaybe next year, Joe. Home,r Warde came through beautifully to pick up the low gross trophy with a Snead-like 76 as Bud Nelson copped the low net. In the first flite

Behind The Mqrk of Consistent Quoliry

TECO technicians are torture experts ! Applying heat, stress, water and rveights, these experts are now conducting rigorous, daily testing on particle board, as well as plywood in numerous plants which are proud users of the TECO stamp.

This mark of consistent quality- TECO-stands for Timber E,ngineer- ing Company. TECO, with 29 years experience in wood products research, engineering and quality control, is the onlv organization of its kind specializing in wood industry products.

As an independent quality control service, TECO now has 27 mills authorized to use its stamp of approval. This includes 19 plywood plants stretching from British Columbia to southern California. five particle board plants. and two mills producing glued, laminated products.

From the headquarters laboratory in Corvallis, Oregon, L. A. Patronsky rnanages the growing staff of TECO technicians. Thes techniciar.rs. in truth. have their own on-the-soot laboratorv in each olant.

For eiample, at the Duraflake plant in Albany, Oregon, where 100 tons of particle board are manufactured daily, three TECO technicians maintain around-the-clock surveilance.

The TECO technicians take ran-

dom sample panels-about three feet in length-from any of the 12 panels of Duraflake as they emerge from the huge press. Each sample is immediately cut up into specimens for tests rvhich include bending strength, internal bond, water absorption, screw holding strength, hardness and linear and thickness stability.

In the bending test, the TECO technician applies weight to the middle of a sample speciman. With precision testing machines, the data is obtained for calculating the modulus of rupture (strength characteristic) and the modulus of elasticity (stiffness).

To test internal bond strength, pieces of particle board are glued bet\&.een two metal blocks and then pulled apart in the testing machine. The pounds of lead required to tear the particle board apart measure the oualitv of the resin distribution and iompleteness of the cure during the pressing operations.

Particle board carrying the TECO grade stamp must be resistant to water absorption in case the material comes into contact with accidental flooding or exposure to the elements. Samples are soaked under an inch of water at room temperature f.or 24 hours and then measured and weighed for changes.

The screw holding characteristicsan important consideration for furniture manufacturers and contra6f615-

is TECO tested by means of a machine which records the number of pounds of load required to pull out a screw driven in a normal manner.

Particle board hardness is TECO rated by the pounds of load required to embed a 0.444-inch ball to half its diameter. Linear and thickness stability tests measure the ability of the plywood o,r particle board to resist dimensional changes resulting from increase in moisture content due to increase in atmospheric humidity.

Results of all these tests are relayed to the plant production supervisor as a guide from production control. TECO specifications also include accuracy and smoothness of trimming, squareness, and quality of finish sanding. F'inally, random samples are taken from the plant's warehouse prior to shipment for similar tests.

Only, then if the material measures up to specifications, can a panel of plywood or particle board carry the TECO grade stamp.

With these TECO torture experts manning the testing machines, buyers rvho demand the TECO stamD are certain of obtaining uniformity^ high cluality products !

Lumber lndustry Asks President Kennedy For Help On Unemployment, lmports, Public Timber Problems

The lumber industry has a.sked President Kennedy to take direct, double-barreled action to help relieve the unemployment of 200,000 forest product workers.

Specifically, the industry urged Mr. Kennedy to:

l. Strike down "discriminatory" public timber sales policies; and

2. Curb mounting imports of softw,ood lumber.

Pending a long-term solution of the import problem, the industry proposed that I\4r. Kennedy impose a "temporary quota" quarterly on Canadian lumber shipments to the United States.

Action Taken at NLMA Spring Meeting

These actions highlighted the 1962 Spring Meeting of the Board of Directors and various committees of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, May 7-9 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Beverly Hills, California.

The appeal to I!Ir. Kennedy was contained in a letter from NLMA President Arthur Temple, Jr. It resulted from resolutions drafted by the association's Foreign Trade and Forest Nfanagement Committees and approved unanimously by NLMA Directors,

IVIr. Temple's letter charged that "government policies and actions" have been largely responsible for an increasing rate of mill shutdowns and the idling of some 200,000 persons in the forest products industries.

The NLMA official pointed out that industry principals have given to,p pri- ority to means of improving their prcducts, expanding their markets and otherrvise restoring full employment and economic stability to the thousands of communities dependent on the forest products industribs.

But despite these efforts, Mr. Temple emphasized, the industry continues in a depressed state-and "remedies can onlv come through a change in the policies and actions of our government."

Details Efforts to Obtain Relief

NIr. Temple then detailed how NLX{A has sought-to no avail-to have the Executive agencies of governmelrt take action to alleviate the iridustry's most pressing problems.

"On February Zlst of this year," he explained. "we met with the Secretary of Agriculture and presented a fourpoint program to modify the timber manag'ement and sale policies and procedures of the U. S. Forest Service, so

as to improve the utilization of our Nation's major renewable natural resource-trees. Implementation of this program is well within the authority of the Secretary of Agriculture. As yet, we have no response from the Secretary to our proposals.

"On March 22nd of. this year, we requested the Secretary of Commerce to arrange an early conference betrveen representatives of the United States and Canadian softwood lumber industi-ies to work out a mutually acceptable solution to the very "erious problem arising from sharp increases, during the last several years, of exports of Canadian softwood lumber to the United States. Increasing imports from Canada are undermining the economic security of our forest-based communities. As yet, I'r"e have no formal reply to our proposal.

"Representatives of the Department of State have advised us that more study of the problem is needed. They have stated that a high level interdepartmental task force will be formed to study the problem over the next few months. We are very grateful for this action, but we believe prompt action is imperative.

"The action last week of the Canadian government in further reducing the value of the Canadian dollar to 92.3 cents, as compared to the U. S. dollar, gives Canadian softwood lumber an advantage of approximately five dolla"rs per thousand board feet over IJ. S. lumber in our country. We hop,e this further manipulation of exchange is not an indication of the attitude of the Canadian g'overnment toward the reasonable ofter of our industry to work toward an amicable solution. lTo'ivever, we believe it makes it imperative that immediate action be taken by the United States Government to impose a temporary quota on the flood of softwood lumber from Canada on a euarterly basis. to r,emain in effect while a iong-term solution is being explored by-the several agencies of government involved."

Wood Promotion Program Acted On

On the wood promotion front, the inclustry's National \Arood Promotion Committee directed its subcommittees and the NI-NIA staff to present for final approval in November-a proposed National Wood Promotion Program budget calling for the outlay of $1,729,622 during the year beginning December l, under the following breakdown:

Advertising and Merchandising Ac-

tivities, $710,311 ; Technical Promotion Activities, $72t,226;

Industry Relations Activities, $152,-

Other Activities, $145,725.

Roundup of Additional Resolutions

In other actions, NLMA Directors:

1. Authorized President Temole to appoint a 15-man committee to develop a united industry approach toward the solution of public timber sales problems. The committee, to be composed of three members each from the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, Western Pine Association and Southern Pin.e Association, plus six members at large, will have as its immediate objective the implementation of four industry recommendations to the Secretary of Agriculture for revision of present timber sales policies. These proposals involve (1) an annual statement of performance standards; (2) appraisal methods; (3) an appeals procedur,e, and (4) contract revisions. The 15-man committee will have an initial appropriation of $25,000 to finance its work.

2. Called on the appropriate committees of Congress to undertake immediately a comprehensive analysis of Forest Service policies and programs, (Continued, on Page 37)

John Castleman Purchases Baily Lumber in Novato

The purchase of Bailey Lumber Company, Novato, on April 1, brings into focus a relative newcomer in Marin County retail lumber circles-John Castleman. Originally from the Pacific Northlvest, Castleman purchased his first yard, Mill Valley Lumber Co., some six years ago. A few years later, Castleman expanded his operation by adding Tiburon Lumber Co., located on picturesque Tiburon Peninsula. Although more limited in scope than is bustling Mill Valley operation, Castleman has gradually built Tiburon Lumber into a profitable shoulder trade and small

builder operation, the bigger jobs and milling being handled at Mill Valley.

With the acquisition of Bailey Lumber Co., dealer Castleman has added a second large yard to his chain. Located on a spur, the Bailey yard occupies several acres of choice industrial pro'perty in the fast growing North Marin suburb of Novato. An all 'round operation, the Bailey yard has a large combination showroom warehouse for the convenience of the do-it-yourself trade, as well as milling faccilities and vard lavout for volume lumber distributicn.

Chorm of Wood In Kitchen ls Dromotized ln NWPP's June I Life Ad

"Only wood can turn a kitchen into such a charming room" -is the theme of the fifth advertisement in the National Wood Promotion Program's 1962 consumer promotion campaign in Life magazine. Like all other advertisements in the three-year-old program, the full-page ad-in the June I issue of -Life-utilizei the power and drama of full iolor to illustrate the beauty and structural integrity of wood. Copy in the ad is as follows:

"Practical as a cutting board, pretty as a picture, wo-od makes you want to spend more hours in the kitchen. On your walls, lively paneling of wood hushes unwanted tlutt... In your floot, *ood's comfort is almost carefree. And nothing compares with cabinets of rvood, pre-built or custom-m1de. Wood never conflicts with metal, enamel, or glass, but softens their glare and enhances their hues. So easy to remodel, as family growth or new appliances require, 'ivood gives your kitchen and its adjoining family room variety that u'ill spice your life. Good cooks agree: there's nothing in the u'orld like wood."

The 1962 NWPP campaign, sponsored by members of the 16 federated regional associations of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, began with a two-page spread in the February 9 issue of Life and rvill continue throughout the year with advertisements demonstrating the advantages of lvood in various areas of the house. Current circulation of Life is 7,000,000 and accumulative readership is estimated to be 32,000,000 per issue.

NWPP's consumer advertising campaign is designed to pre-sell prospective home owners on a preference for wood productJ fof home brrilding. Builders and lumber dealers will benefit when consumers express a strong interest in lumber and wood oroducts for their individual homes'

Growds Jqm Futuristic Home At Opening of Seottle Fair

About 1500 persons an hour got their first look at rvhat homes mav be like in the 21st century as th; Seattle World's Fair opened its gates.

In the first two davs. more than 30,000 Fair-goers crowded through the Century 21 Plyrvood Home of Living Light, a futuristic house built and displayed by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association.

Materials and equipment provided by 40 participating manufacturers, some of it in prototype form, give the impression the home is ready for a family to move into immediately.

John D. Ritchie, DFPA Advertising l)irector and supervisor of the projeci for the association, said he was nonplussed at the reaction to the house.

"We thought rve had something that would stir up quite a controversy," he said, "Instead, nearly everyone thinks the house is wonderful. A lot of people ask if it's possible to build one like it today. They admit that it's radical, in terms of today's houses, but they also can see how wonderful it would be to live in such a house. Several builders have tried to figure out how to get the effect of roominess here in what tl.rev build for sale."

The Century 2l Plywood Home has a floor plan based on curves and ovals instead of rectangles and gets it natu-

ral light from cone-shaped skylights instead of conventional windows. Screened courtyards give it complete privacy from the street.

The undulating walls are designed to take advantage of a new material the plywood industry hopes to have on the market in the next few decades.

"What we're aiming for is a material that could be used to prefabricate custom houses," he said. "One of the amazing things about the reaction of the crowds is that people grasp this idea immediately and recognize its value."

The house 'r,vas designed, he said, to show one of the ways in which design and materials can be expected to evolve in the next half century.

"We expect lvood to continue to be the basic home building material. It's a low-cost, attractive resource that is renewable, and a material that architects, carpenters and home-buyers are familiar with. The first crowds, of course, are heavily loaded with westerners, but this idea gets a lot of acceptance, too-"

ilitchie said he felt home-buyers are receptive to radical changes in design if they are logical.

"The younger people are virtually all enthusiastic," he said. "But it's surprising how many older people feel tne same way.

"The proof of this, rve think, is that the cro'i'r'ds have been so big that we have had a waiting line from the very first. Except for a simulated space ride, ours has been the only exhibit with a line. Unless people are interested, it's hard to believe they would stand in line with 74 acres of other exhibits to see."

Housing gtorts In April 1962

Construction was begun on 150,600 housing units in April 1962, compared r,r'ith 117,000 in March and 115,300 in April 1961, according to preliminary estimates of the Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce.

Privately owned housing starts totaled 146,9W units in April 1962, up 27 percent over the revised March total of 115,800 units, and 32 percent greater than the April 1961 level of 111,000 units. On a ieasonally adjusted annual rate basis, April 1962 starts totaled 7,542,000 units, up 8 percent over the revised March rate of 1,434.000 units, and 32 percent higher than the April 196l rate of 1,166,000.

Nonfarm housing starts numbered 148,300 trnits in April 1962, up 28 percent over the revised N{arch total of 116,000 and 31 percent higher than the April 1961 total of 113,000 units. Private nonfarm starts ol 144,600 units in April 1962 were up 27 percent over the revised March total of 114,200 and 33 percent greater than the April 1961 level of 108,700 units. Private nonfarm starts in April 1962 were at a season-

ally adjusted annual rate of 1,519,000 units, up 8 percent over the revised Nlarch rate of 1,410,000 and 33 percent higher than the April 196l rate of 1.143.000 units.

Substantial increases in housing starts r,vere reported ir-r most parts of the country. After seasonal adjustment private housing starts in April were up 44 per cent over N{arch in the Northeast, up 37 percent in the North Central region, down 18 percent in the South, and up 10 percent in the West.

Building permits covering I20,290 new privately owned housing units, representing a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,229,000 units r,vere issued in April 1962 by the 10,000 places with local building permit systems' In N{arch 1962 these places issued permits for 100,811 new privately owned housing units, representing a seasonally adlusted annual rate of 1,151,000 units.

Protection Againsf Termifes

---Houses with Basements

When building, it is easy to protect a house against future damage from subterranean termites. Lumber dealers who can tell their builder customers how to do this, make themselves valuable to these customers and thus better the dealer's chances of getting more business from them. A1l materials needed for protection against termites can be sold by lumber dealers.

Subterranean termites live houses to get food. This food the house is built, the furniture contents.

in the ground and go into may be the r,vood of which in the house, books or other

Our job is to buikl so that termites cannot enter the house-this can be done economically.

We will discuss houses rvith basements, those with crawl spaces and those with concrete slab floors on the ground.

lfouses With Basements

Termites can invade houses with basements by first going into woo'd frames or sills of basement windows that are on ground level and then working their way into adjacent house sills, floor joists, etc.

The bottom of a basernent window sill should be at least six inches above the ground.

The sill and frame of basement lvindows should be of wood pressure-treated with a non-wa"ter type rvood preservative or the heartwood of a naturally termite-resistant wood; or, the sill can be of concrete.

The floor framing of the house should have no direct con-

tact with the window frame.

Maintenance consists of keeping below the sill and tearing dorvn any rarely might be built from the ground the window.

Steps and Porches

rate of one-half perm or less on the ground. Lap the joints about four inches (mopping not necessary) and place tight against all rn'alls ancl piers.

Follow the same procedure with breezeways. First remove all sharp stones and pieces of wood off the ground. If the gro,und slopes, place the soil cover sheets shinglewise to run off to the outside any water that gains entrance to the crawl space. Crarvl space must be well drained to keep dry as possible.

Termite Tunnels

Other entrances for subterranean termites into a house with a basement are through tunnels which termites build up on the basernent lvalls on the outside or inside surfaces and through cracks in the walls. It is said they can gcl through masonry cracks as small as l/32 inch.

Another path for termites into a house with a basement is through steps and porches. Here we must protect the steps, the porch and the house.

We start out by making the bottom step of poured concrete or of pressure-treated wood. If the steps go directly to the house with their being no porch, place a non-corroding metal apron or shield between the top step and the house.

If there is a porch the shield is placed between and the house. Figure I illustrates one method this. Supports for steps and porch should be termite resistant w'ood, pressure-treated wood or and there should be at least a two-inch distance the wall and the supports adjacent to the house.

the earth six inches termite tunnels that to the wood parts of the porch of doing naturally concrete between

Further protect wood porch against construction of termite tunnels and cracks in supports by use of reinforced cap or shields as outlined below for foundation walls.

If the space belorv the steps or porch is enclosed, lay a rot and termite proof soil cover with a vapor transmission

Protect against entrance through foundation cracks by building basement walls of poured concrete that rvill remain free of cracks and be without porous areas; or by a poured reinforced concrete cap four-inches thick on top of all unit masonry walls, extending entire rvidth and length of walls; or by non'co,rroding metal termite shields placed on foundation vvalls under the wood sill plates, extending full length and wiclth of foundation walls and over all basement windolvs and doors placed in foundation walls. FHA accepts these protective measllres as being adequate. What they do is to force any termites seeking entrance into the house, to attempt to build tunnels up the foundation walls. either on the outside or on the inside surfaces. Either

With such construction, attack from termites is not very likely. However, if one should observe tunnels being buiit on the walls, tear them down and poison treat the ground on the outside at that point. There are many suitable poisons and instead of giving you ledgthy directions here, I suggest you either write me, care of this magazine or refer to paragraph 815-3.8 Soil Treatment on page 117 of the FHA Minimum Property Standards.

Any woodwork in the basement, such as posts, stairs, doors, etc. should be on top of the concrete basement floor instead of let-into it. Corrosion-proof metal plates under posts are desirable.

The finesf wood oJ oll kinds is sofd & deliverd

ARRC'WHE AD

End of joists and girders inset in concrete or masonry walls should be placed on a piece of non-corroding metal which is full length and width of the inset, and there should be an air space of not less than one inch around sides and ends of wood members.

There should be a clearance of at least two inches between house rn'alls of masonry and joints running parallel, and adjacent, to these walls.

No framing member of a house rvith a basement should be closer than eight inches to the gorund and siding should be at least six inches above the ground.

Pipes going through basement rvalls and floors should be inspected occasionally to make sure no termite tunnels are built along them.

When house walls are of solid brick or masonry block and the foundation is also of masonry, a poured reinforced concrete cap four inches thick should be placed about eight inches above outside grade line and extend full width and length of the rvalls. This is to protect the house contents as u'ell as joists against termites.

Any outside attachment like clothes-line posts, trellises etc. should be built so as not to provide termite patl-rs irrto the house.

R.enoVoting

(Continued, from Page 26) place they choose is easily seetl on a house witl-r a basement.

All we need tc' do is to make a casual inspection occasionally ar.rd tear down any tunnels being built. Subterranean termites must have access to the ground and destroying their entrance-way to the house effectively stops them.

Exterior doors, at ground level, must be placed above these protective features.

Installing Termite Shields

Termite shields shoulcl extend at least two inches beyond the outside face of the foundation wall and then abruptly turned dorvn at a 45-degree angle at least another two inches. Also this can be done on the inside basement wall. If eitherivall is easily observed, just bending down the shielcl trvo inches, 'ivithout the two-inch extension, is sufficient.

All joints in shields should be full soldered and anchor

New Forestglo Hqrdwood Poneling Offers True Luxury qt Low

Gost

Prefinished hardrn'ood paneling that offers "thrifty elegance" is announced bv Weverhaeuser Companv with the introdultion of its new'Forestglo line including six preferred woods and nine delightful color tones.

Described as genuine r'r'ood paneling that brings a new high in luxury at moderate cost, Forestglo introduces deeper, richer tones in keeping with decorator trends and modern furniture finishes, Weyerhaeuser announces. Deep grooves the length of panels impart an admired random plank efiect.

The selected hardwoods included in the new paneling line are walnut, cherry, elm, oak, birch and maple. The handsome, virtually indestructable finish heightens and preserves the character of each of these fine woods. fn addition, three of the woods are also offered in alternate color tones. They are: tawny oak, platinum birch and antique elm.

In all cases the new furniture-like finish, a result of continuing Weyerhaeuser research, is highly resistant to dirt, grease, water, inks and household chemicals. Wiping with a damp cloth removes fingerprints and other dirt.

Beauty of Forestglo stems not alone

from the advanced finishing techniques but as well from the craftsmanship and care of American woodworkers long experienced in making fine architectural doors and paneling. The panels are manufactured in plants at Marshfield. Wisc., and lfancock, Vt.

Four preferred lengths are offered 7', 8',9 and 10' the longer lengths adding to spaciousness of rooms with higher ceilings by eliminating need for a horizontal joint. Panels are 4' wide for ease and speed of installation. The random grooving precisely at the joining of face veneers accentuates the distinctive beauty of individual veneers and avoids any repetitive pattern along rvalls. Yet, always a groove occurs 16" from each edge to permit nailing in a recess (to studs 16" on-center) for maximum concealment of nails. Panel edges are beveled to form a similar V at the ioint. Panel -backs are sealed to resist moisture penetration and to facilitate easy installation with contact cement if desired.

Stocks of new hardwood peneling already are in the 35 Weyerhaeuser distribution centers across the nation and additional yards of independent distributors for quick supply through retail lumber dealers. And a group of building accessories is available to complement the genuine wood paneling. Included are hardwood moldings, matching finishes for use on trim, matching putty sticks for covering nails, and contact cement for bonding panels in place.

Purpose of the conference would be to discuss common problems and create a better undersianding between the nranufacturing and distribution segments of the industry. NLMA's action is contingent upon similar action by the National Retail Lumber Dealers

Association and the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association.

6. Officially commendedwith a formal resolution and a standing ovation-the work of Weyerhaeuser Vice President Bernard L. Orell on the Outdoor Recreation Resource's Review Commission. The Board noted that Mr. Orell, although the only forest industries representative on the Commission, imparted to that body a thorough understanding of industry forest management, including "the multipleuse principle of tree farming, with all the related values of rvood. recreation, wildlife, rvater and soil stabilization."

WPA Announces "Prolecl Cinderello" Moulding Book

"Remodeling with mouldings" is the theme of a full-color 8-page book just published by the Western Pine Association for use by modernizing-minded homeowners,

"Project Cinderella" covers not only the most commonly seen uses of mouldings, but also offers such ideas as mouldings for mantel trim, for decorating flat-planed flush doors-in both house and garage-and walls, window shutters and picture frames. And it provides two full pages of moulding craftsmanship hints.

The book aims particularly at millions of homes built with minimum moulding use since World War II.

"Mouldings offer owners of these homes an economical means to bring genuine new richness and beauty into their surroundings," according to P. C. Forsell, San Francisco, chairrtran of

the W.P.A. moulding committee.

917l Wilshire Blvd. Beverly Hills, Galif. TRemont 8-Ol@

"NIany people who don't want to get involved in major remodeling pro,jects will find mouldings add true depth and character far beyond their low cost. r\nd this book shows them how it can be done."

Single copies of the moulding book are available free of charge from the Western Pine Association, Dept. PCM-Z, Yeon Building, Portland 4, Ore. Quantities are available at a cost of 10 cents each.

A sample copy of a supplementary direct-mail folder on mouldings, a tie- in with "Project Cinderella," will be sent upon request. Quantities are available at $10.00 per thousand.

Give me a healthv mincl. Good Lord.

To keep the good and pure in sight ; Which seeing sin is no't appalled

But finds a way to set it right.

Give me a mind that is not bored, That does not rvhimper, whine, or sigh; Don't let me worry overmuch

About the fussy thing called I.

Give me a sense of humor, Lord, Give me the grace to see a joke ; To get some happiness from life, And pass it on to some other folk.

The big Irish rn'oman u/ent into the gents furnishing store and told the salesman she wanted a collar for her husband. She selected it, and told him to wrap it up.

"Do you only want one?" asked the salesman, superciliously.

"Certainly, you fat head," she replied briskly. "What do you think I am-a bigamist?"

The Need Of Honesty

The need of honesty cannot be overestimated. Most of us are honest in big things. But there are many who are not so scrupulous in small matters. There is, for example, the man who robs his employer of time by failing to observe working hours, or wastes the time of others by not being punctual in keeping appointments. The salesman who fails to be at the buyer's office punctually at the appointed hour labors under a self-imposed handicip before hi starts his solicitation. In the final analysis being honest is simply showing the proper consideration for the property of others. whether it be time, money, or goods.

"Brinkley's Journqlr" Commerciol Honored by TV Industry Awcrrds

The National Broadcasting Company's "David Brinkley's Journal," co-sponsored by western plyvvood marlufacturers through the I)ouglas Fir Plywood Association, has been honored for its excellence of program content and for one of its commercials by two different television industry award committees.

The "Journal" was given the 1961 George Foster Peabody award as the best television news program of the year.

The highly-coveted Peabody award, sponsored by the journalism school of the University of Georgia, has been granted since 1940 for "distinguished achievement by television and radio." T'he citation with the award commended Brinkley and program producer Ted Yates for adding "a new dimension of humor, skepticism, and wisdom to television news in 'David Brinkley's Journal,' the writing and scope of which are far more sophisticated than mos.t tv news programs."

The Peabody awards were made at a luncheon in New York, April 18.

'I'he commercial "Hidden Values" on plywood sheathing is a finalist in the judging sponsored by the 1962 American TV Commercials Festival. Final selection in the "Best of Products" category lvill be based on reactions of advertising executives at Festival sessions in New York, Chicago, Toronto, Dallas and Los Angeles.

"Hidden Values" was one oI 1254 television commercials entered in the festival. In the commercial, announcer George Fenneman, who tells plywood's .sales story on the "David Brinkley's Journal" prog'ram, uses a scale model l-rouse to shorv plyrvood sheathing's many non-apparent uses in home construction. The commercial was produced by Cole and Weber, fnc., Tacoma, Wash., advertising agency for the plywood association.

Judge Orders Firm's President Solory Gut

Federal Judge Gus J. Solomon ordered a $24,000 reduction in the salary of Columbia River Paper Co. President Nils G. Teren of Portland, and voided stock options and retirement plans for Mr. Teren and another officer.

The decision, involviug an estimated $2 million, was handed down in a stockholders suit brought by E. A. Howard of Oakland.

It charged the exercise of improp'er control by Mr. Teren, unauthorized salary increases, unauthorized stock options, and improper and excessive compensation.

Six defendants rvere named. In addition to Mr. Teren, the judge ruled against Donald C. Ellsworth, secretary of the firm.

Judge Solomon ordered NIr. Teren's salary cut from $96,000 to $72,000 retroactive to 1958. He ordered Mr. Teren and lVIr. Ellslvorth to give up stocks purchased under option three years ago a"t $725. Current price is $1765. Mr. Teren must give rrp 700 shares and Mr. Ellsworth 150.

Judge Solomon also 'r'oided deferred compensation p.lans that have netted Mr. Teren about $690.000 and I\,Ir. Ellsworth about $360,000 during their lives.

Two other officers named in the suit gave up their retirement plans after the action was filed.

Columbia River Paper Co. is about to be sold to Boise Cascade Corp. in a $60 million transaction.

U.5. Plywood Lqunches'Open House, progrom

.\n open house program for dealers, brrilders, general contractors, cabinetmaking and woodworking companies, architects, bankers and public officials, rvas launched the last week in May at selected branches of United States Plyr,vood Corporation, the company announced.

"This 'Weldwood Products Fair' is part of an aggressive new sales prograrn to introduce nerv products and to publicize our wide variety of building materials," said M. K. Peterson, vice presiden-t marketing for U. S. Ply- 'rvood. "The fair also gave our branches an opportunity to demonstrate the

clifferent services the1,- provide for the building industry."

Sixty-five branches throughout the country were involved in the twoday open house program. Each branch supy.ll-ving materials and samples of product innovations such as the new line of Samara paneling colors-a decorator-color line based on broad market research to key this popular panel- ing to the latest trends in'interibr design.

In addition to Weldwood Paneling, building _ materials on display i;- cluded Glasweld, a cement-asbestos building panel that has gained wide

acceptance in curtain-wall construction; paneling treated with Permagard, an invisible film of plastic overlay to protect grain and finish; and fiberglass panels for patios, carports and other installations.

Wood samples of the frame, hull planking, and peg fasteners from a Roman ship sunk in the first cen,turv B. C. have been identified as elm, pitch pine and live or evergreen oak by the U. S. Forest Service's Forest Products Laboratory. Use of these species suggests that the vessel was built along the north shore of the Mediterranean. The ship was found off the coast of the Greek island of Antikythera, a onetime pirate retreat.

"Beql the Beetle" Bottle Plans Drown for Tohoe Tree Form

Fibreboard Paper Products Corporation in May announced plans to begin sanitation harvest operations at its Lake Tahoe Tree Farm "".""!. near Kings Beach and Brockway. A minor insect attack has been iiscovered in a small area of mature and over mature ponderosa pine timber stands, according to Paul E. Shively, Fibreboard's Chief Forester.

The area involverl is not large, Shively said, and about a million board feet of standing sawtimbir will be harvested in the sanitatio' operation. "We will bi moving to attempt to check the spread of the "it "k," Shively stated. "Removal of the infested trees will help the residual stands to remain vigorous and to provide successive tree crops."

"These outbreaks occur in nature from time to time and our timber management program is geared to meet such contingencies," Shively said. ;For instance, we h"ve been watching this general area since 1957 when it first 6"."-" evident that insects were present in epidemic proportions in the ad'jacent Crystal Bay area'"

'

"W" ft"i hoped that natural predators would take over or that a die-off would occur to reduce the threat to our timber here' However' the exceptionally dry conditions of the past few years have been favor.able to insect build-up so it has become necessary for us to provide the control measures," Shively said.

ifrit.fv was recently accompanicd on an inspection of the area by eniomologists Ralph Hall and George Downing, from the U' S' For..i S.tuii Region 5 office in San Francisco; Knox Marshall, chairma., of the cal-lifornia Pest control Action council and forest engineer, Western Pine Association; arld Fibreboard's Forest Superintendent from the Truckee headquarters, Robert Krohn'

The chief insect villian has been identified as Dendroctonus .o-u.commonly known as the Western Pine Beetlewhich attacks mature and over mature ponderosa pine, but leaves more vigorous second growth timber alone' -

trt._oLiist Ralph Hall explained that the western Pine Beetle spreads in a'patchwork fashioir. Eggs hatch jn a host tree' then as it " ir,...t goes th.ough the various stages of its life cycle, the adults leave the host tree as a brood, moving to another, where the cycle starts all over in a new host tree. Thousands of insects are involved in each flight.

"SEF0ITCE is our Poltv,mount stock-in']rade"

"Each mature beetle will deposit from 50 to 60 eggs," Hall said. "The population build-up, and the effect on mature timber stands, become increasingly critical unless control measutes are taken quickly."

Signs of infestation show up quickly and can be recognized as the needles of individual trees turn from the lush green color to a rusty brown. Close examination of the tree itself presents what appears to be sawdust, or fine wood flour, clinging in the depressions of the bark covering.

Death to the tree results from girdling as the larvae literally eat their way around the tree in search of food. This action takes place in the vital cambium layer, which is the live, or growing layer between the heavyrcuter bark and the woody portion of the tree.

Another identification mark of an infested tree is characterized by holes in the outer bark covering which have the appearance of buckshot from a hunter's shot gun. These are caused by adult beetles boring out on their way to another host tree.

Only about 40 acres of F'ibreboard's Lake Tahoe Tree Farm is currently involved. The entomologist's report stated that many trees are not infested and will not have to be removed.

Top Aword Announced

The U. S. Department of Agriculture announced that its Distinguished Service Award will be given to the Forest Service's Institute of Forest Gcnetics at Berkeley and Placerville, Calif. The award to the unit is the Department's top honor.

The Department announcement cited the Institute "for pioneering the science of forest genetics and the production of pine hybrids leading to international recognition as a center for genetic improvenrent of the pines of the world."

Recognition of contributions to the research unit's work by 13 men and 2 w,omen of the s,taff will ,take place later this year at Placerville. Berkeley stafi members rvorking under Robert Z. Cal.lahar:: and. William C. Cumming are: Alfred R. Liddicoet, Emery F. KimM. Tichenor, and Richard H. Smith.

Placerville stafi members working under Francis I. Righter and William C. Cumming are: Alfred R. Liddecoet, Emery F. Kimbrough, Edwin J. Carpender, Carroll W. Busche, Clarence M. Blankensop, George S. Bronson, and Lucille A. Peterson.

The Institute of Forest Genetics was founded h 1925 by Seattle lumberman James G. Eddy as the Eddy Tree Breeding Station and was deeded to the United States government in 1935. Since then the Forest Service has operated the Institute as part of its forest tree improvement work, working ,primarily with pines. In recent years it has concentrated on western pine species and added studies of the genetics of fir trees to its program.

The Institute has produced from controlled breeding more than 80 difierent pine hybrid combinations. tsy perfecting new breeding techniques, it has developed and improved methods for artificial breeding arrd has demonstrated that mass production of hybrids is feasible. These techniques are beirrg used by public agencies and forest industries in the United States to produce hybrids with faster grot'th and greater resistance to pests than "wild" trees. Many foreign governments have sent research g'orkers to the Institute for training in forest tree breeding.

Chopmon Millbrire Offers Weqther Protection

An inexpensive treatment which gives dry finish,ed lumtrer and pl1'wood weather protection fro,m mill to job s,ite has been developed by Chapman Chem.ical Crompany, Memphis, Tenn.

New Chap'man Millbrite is described as a cle,ar emulsion of special uraxes, resins and a penta-derived toxican't. Pigrnented forrns are available ,to give the treated lumber color ident.ification.

Applied to lumber by spray or dip as it leaves the planer, Millb.rite performs these functions: 1) gives excellent water repellency; 2) mininrizes dimensional changes due to swelling and warping; 3) pnevents weather d,iscoloratrion; 4) inhib,its blue stain and mold grow,th; 5) adds, when desired, a pleasing color tone.

Water repellency is abou,t equal to a 30-second dip in a sfandard water repellellt preservative. However, the manufacturer emphasizes tr{illbrite is n,ot a preservative and is design.ed to give only rtemporary protectio,n against stain and mold. Thus, i.ts cost is far less than a true preservative.

Millbrite is recom,mended for all species of wood used for framing lumbe.r, subflo,oring, sh,eathing, roof decking, unfinished flooring, construction plywood, trusse's and other prefabricated parts, and the back si'de of siding and prefinished floor'ing.

Chapm,an officials note Millbr.ite offe,rs producers of quality lumber a means of improving its appearance and marke'tability by prevenrting rain and dirt damage in transit, in storage yards and on the job site.

Complete da,ta, in,cluding exten.sive test results, are available from Chapman Chemical Cornpany, P. O. Box 3158, Memphis 9, Tenn.

Termite Control tflethod Widely Approved

The Bruce-Terminix method of subterranean termite control has been ado,pted into hundreds of local building codes-the first such approval ever won by a termite control organization.

This means that, for the first time, builders .and architects who come under the auspices of these codes can specify a termite control method other than metal shields and the usual pressure-treated lumber.

Approval of the Bruce-Terminix pretreating and protection system, which features a $5@0 protection contract, came from two large regional associations, the Southern Building Code Congress and the Building Officials Conference of America, Inc.

More than 1500 Southern, Midwestern and Eastern municipalities adhere to SBCC and BOCA building codes. To comply with the new standard, the builder or architect must qualify his structures for the Bruce-Terminix $5000 Protection Contract. Qualifying usually means a simple pretreating job, which covers the first year's cost of the guarantee.

Renewable annually by the homeowner, the protection plan provides annual reinspections, treating when necessary and repair of all new termite damage to the structure and contents up to $5000.

Both the SBCC and BOCA, which subscribe to performance type codes, found the Terminix system "equivalent to or superior to metal shields."

A division of E. L. Bruce Co. Incorporated, world's largest hardwood flooring producer, Bruce-Terminix has more than 200 licensed operators in 45 states. The $5000 Protection Contract is guaranteed by Bruce and insured by Sun Insurance Office, Ltd.

"Soil pretreating does more than just control termites," said Frank H. Lyons, Bruce executive. "Properly promoted, pretreating can give the builder a competitive edge not inherent in metal shields."

Lyons said Terminix pretreating, which is widely advertised, gives homes the prestigevalue of a nationally-recognized brand name, plus the $5000 protection guarantee.

In addition to satisfying SBCC and BOCA codes, Terminix soil poisoning is guaranteed to meet FHA/VA requirements, relieves the builder of damage responsibility, and does away with aggravating call backs.

In most cases, particularly in the South, the system costs less than shields. According to Lyons, pretreating can be performed faster and more efficiently than shield installation.

Winning approval from the nation's two largest regional associations required five years planning on the part of Bruce's technical and research staff.

"Our first impulse was to get the codes changed," said Lyons, who pioneered today's termite control techniques.

Big lncreose Reported ln Porticleboqrd Use

Demands for particleboard, for use as floor underlayment in both residential and commercial building, have risen sharply in recent months, according to reports from the country's leading particleboard manufacturers.

"More and more builders and floor people are becoming aware of the extremely smooth surfaces and solid core offered by particleboard," pointed out W. W. Affolter, general sales manager for Wood Fibreboard Company, at Albany, Oregon, one of the country's largest producers of wood-formed board.

One of the major reasons for the recent growing acceptance of particleboard as a floor underlayment is because it complies with FHA home insurance standards. In its "Use of Materials Bulletin UM-28," dated November, 1960, the Federal Housing Administration sanctioned the use of particleboard which conforms to the standards of the National Particleboard Association for floor underlayment.

One major West Coast retail drug chain, Pay Less Drug Stores, has specified the use of Duraflake Underlayment, produced by Wood Fibreboard Company, in all of its new or remodeled stores.

Duraflake Underlayment, in addition to meeting the standards required by FHA and the National Particleboard Association, also is guaranteed in writing by the manufacturer. This smooth, sturdy and low moistureabsorbing board will not indent when used as underlayment. It is available in all standard underlayment thicknesses.

Duraflake Underlayment, as well as its

furniture and woodworking counterpart, Duraflake, includes the best features found in wood particle and fake boards. Wood Fibreboard Company's $1,750,000 plant at Albany, Oregon, is the first in the United States to use the famous German-developed Bison system. This method has been used successfully in Europe for many years, but was just introduced in this country in late 1960, when Wood Fibreboard Company began operations.

One of the features which make Duraflake and Duraflake Underlayment superior to other boards is their smooth surface. This is achieved through the Bison system, which ingeniously forms the boards with the larger wood flakes in the middle, progressively graduating these particles so the "6nes" automatically form the top and bottom surfaces. This gives the board its exceptionally strong internal bond, as well as its extremely smooth surface.

In addition to Duraflake Underlayment, Duraflake is manufactured for use in cabinet work, single wall construction, closet doors, toys, furniture, tables, and kitchen counters. It will not telegraph through any veneer or chemically-impregnated papers, and is also available in a variety of thicknesses,

The unique formation of Duraflake I-Inderlayment and Duraflake allows close machining of the edges, in the case of beveling, for example. Both boards have excellent nail and screw-holding qualities.

Duraflake is produced in one of the largest presses in the country, allowing pa,nels as large as 5 by 16 feet, which permits a great latitude of sizes.

"Both grades of Duraflake board," according to Affolter, "are tested and approved by TEC,O Laboratories of the Timber Engineering Company of Washington, D. C., an affiliate since 1933 of the National Lttmber Manufacturers Association. It is recognized as one of the finest engineering organizations in the broad field of wood technology' A TECO Laboratory "quality control" technician is present every day in the Wood Fibreboard Company plant at Albany, when Duraflake and Duraflake lJnderlayment are being produced, to make sure the products meet rigid standards.

A United Cqlifornio?

Ole May California Lumber Merchant

Dear Ole:

I had the profound pleasure of hearing A. R. Hood address a group of lumberrnen at breakfast yesterday morning. In 30 minutes, he had more ideas than most of us had heard in decades.

He mentioned that a Texas meeting had 4,500 people attend, while we had only a small percentage of that figure. This vividly pointed out the fact that the California segment of the industry lacks vigor, esprit de corps and a real desire not to forfeit its markets to wood substitutes.

He hurled a challenge that must be met if the California industry is to survive, i.e., the joining of North and South by meetings of 100 stouthearted young men from each section with the ultimate forming of a statewide lumbermen's organization.

A large lumbermen's organization could force progress, i.e.. changes in Commercial Standards, discriminatory freight rates, package selling, im,Proving millwork and a million other things.

Carlow Company will do everYthing it can to further this Program, provided others feel as we do.

I{ow about the Lumber Merchant sounding out the industrY to see if there is any interestJack Carlow, Carlow ComPany, Los Angeles.

PINE MOULDINGS FOR EVERY PURPOSE

New Pockoging for Noils Developed by lndependent

The teohnique of visual ,packag:ng, used by foods, drugs and other direct-consumer products, is now being extended to the building materials field.

The Independent Nail Corporation ol Bridgewater, Massachusetts, manufacturer of the Stronghold line of threaded nails and special fastenings, has developed transparent polyethylene packages for mauy of its products.

The bags are being made of a stronger polyethylene material designed to eliminate punctures and also to preserve its transparent quality. These bags are now being used by Independent Nail with several of its industrial customers such as asbestos cement siding manufacturers. The require<l number of nails to fasten one square of asbestos cement siding are packaged in the new bags and distributed with the siding.

Now, however, Independent Nail plans to package nails in small quantity for direct retail sale to the hone handYmarr.

"The advantages of the custorner being able to see the product are well-known," says Richard Gold, president of Independent Nail. "But this concept up to rlow l.ras not been used satisfactorily by the nail industry. Our

experience with this new packaging has convinced us that small-quantity packaging of nails with positive point-of-sales factors is possible."

"The polyethylene packages can be made to any size and a new method of "counting nails" will enable us to reduce the relatively high-cost of packaging our products in small quantities," says Gold.

Independent Nail plans to conduct further market research on the ,possibilities of mass distribution of Stronghold nails in the nerv packaging.
