HOW LUMBER LOOKS

A further slowdown in fir lumber and plywood in the period ending June 5 was reported 'by Crow's Lumber Market News Service, Portland. The most urgent eastern and midwestern demand had been met and dealers were rebuying cautiously for late summer and fall inventories. Green fir 2x4 in Std & Btr slipped slightly and lower grades were weaker. Dry dimension was steady. Cargo buyers were taking a steady volume. Pine-area prices showed the price

New Phone Prefixes

The Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. threw a curve this month when it changed prefixes of several Los Angeles exchanges without formal announcemenr, catching even daily newspapers unaware of the impending changes. This journal was able to correct some of _the.phone prefixes in a few of the Display Ads, and believes it has ALL of them correct in, th-e dependable. Buyer's Guide (Page 64 in this issue).

Lorgest Attendonce in History qt Arizono Annuql

By Gus R. l,llCHAELS, Executive Secretaty, Monoger

Not only did this mark the 25th year since the incorporation of the Association, but likewise we had our largest attendance in the history- 285, representing retailers from practically every city in Arizona.

The first business session was called to order in the Kachina room of the Hassayampa hotel at 2:OO p.m. on Thursday, May 14, by President Howard Beals, who introduced Reverend A. H. Leerssen of the First Lutheran Church of Prescott. Reverend Leerssen, for the second time, very appropriately opened our session with prayer. The president then introduced Honorable Ray Vyne, Mayor of Prescott, who extended a hearty welcome and assured everyone that his city was more than glad to have us back a second time and gave us stickers for our cars so that we would be exempt from traffic violations.

Vice-President Henry Galbraith gave the response and said that not since the days of prohibition when all meetings were held on the Mexican border have Arizona lumbermen held two successive meetings in the same town.

He thanked Reverend Leerssen and the mayor for their courteous acceptance of our group. The president then appointed the following committees:

Resolutions Committee: Pete Pollock, Chairman ; Jim Killen, Marc Schwarz, Bud McNaull, Bob Horr, Dean Drake.

Nominations Committee: Mike Medigovich, Chairman; J. Knox Corbett, Harold Britt, Dale Grabe, George Rothfuss, Carl Johnson, Earl Cox, Tom Wood, L. P. Hermes.

Time & Place Committee: Henry Galbraith, Chairman; George Ross, Oliver Coonrod, Marvin Smith, Harry Mann, Cline Schweikart, Ace Mason, Carl Kemp, Lee White.

The first item on the program was a demonstration of telephone techniques in which Dick Hills of the Mountain Stafes Telephone & Telegraph Company introduced B. J. "Ponto" Mealey, Arizona customer relations supervisor for the phone company. Mr. Mealey presented a very interesting and technical program describing the progress of sound and telephones and detailed some of the efforts being made by his company to improve communications.

The next address was bv Lt. Harlev Thomoson of the Arizona Highway Patrol, who candidly'stated that a traffic violation ticket is the poorest investment you can make. You put out and get nothing for it. FIe was high in his praise for truck drivers employed by industry in Arizona, stating that employers are making every effort to hire the right type of drivers to handle their expensive equipment and merchandise. He stated very frankly that the real worry of the Patrol in the field of trucking is the itinerant fly-by-night driver. llis recommendations were

(1) Have competent, trained drivers

(2) Keep your equipment in good repair

(3) He urged more courtesy for all drivers.

President Beals then introduced W. S. Patterson, director of executive sales, Pacific Coast region, Reynolds Metals Company, who addressed the group on "Uses of Aluminum in Residential Construction-Present and Future." Mr. Patterson pointed out that aluminum came into its own during World War II, with tremendous demands for the metal to be used in the war effort. He stated that inasmuch as l/12 of the earth's surface contains the ingredients for making aluminum, the supply of the materials is unlimited and only the addition of rather tremendous amounts of power are needed to rnake as much as the demand calls for. He said that after World War II the people in his industry laid plans for the absorption of their metal in markets other than defense, but had hardly gotten started on a program when they were interrupted by the Korean conflict.

LUMBER MERCHANT, May 15, 1934)

At the annual meeting of the Lum'bermen's Club of Arizona, held at Phoenix on May 11-12, 1934, it was voted to change the name of the organization to the Arizona Retail Lumber and Building Supply Association. Officers re-elected were John G. O'Malley, president; Claude A, Hayes, Pr€scott Lumber Co., and C. J. Killen, Foxworth-Galbraith Lumber Co., Yuma, first and second vice-presidents, and Chris Totten, Phoenix, secretary-treasurer and Code Authority manager for Arizona District 31. M. H. McCalla, Foxworth-Galbraith Lumber Co., Phoenix, was elected national Code director.

Governor Moeur welcomed the visiting lumbermen to the convention presided over by Claude Hayes in the absence of President O'Malley. Harry A. Lake, president of the California Retail Lumbermen's Assn., discussed the lunlber Code with the assistance of A. W. Bernhauer and Lester G. Sterett. both of Fresno, Calif.; M. A. McCalla, W. A. Fults, Albuquerque; Paul Hallingby, Los Angeles, and A. T. Skluzacek, Chandler.

A joint Code Interpretation committee appointed consisted of Mr. McCalla, Mr. Hayes, Mr. O'Malley, and Gene S. Cunningham, H. M. Watson, Phoenix; R. A. Christy, Flagstaff; W. A. Lamprey, Tucson, and F. M. Pool, Superior.

Subcommittee members elected for the three Code divisions of the state were:

Northern-Grady Stubbs, Hol'brook; James Olds, Winslow; Frank Edens, Cottonwood;

Central-R. B. Baker, Phoenix; 'Cecil Drew, Mesa; A. M. Schwarz, Miami;

Southern-John N, Wood, Lowell; Ncal Waugh, Tucson; W. Killen, Tucson.

Entertainment plans for the ladies were made by Mrs. J. W. Tardy and Mrs. Francis W. Pool of Phoenix. The men's social affairs included the stag dinner by the Phoenix Knothole Club at the Hotel Adams, with John A. Johnson presiding. Golf was played Saturday afternoon and the banquet was that evening in the Rendezvous Gardens with Francis Pool and William Warriner, Jr., in charge. A number of Southern California lumbermen attended the convention.

that peace is apparently won, the aluminum people are making very definite plans for entering what they consider is the largest market for their products-the home construction field. He went into considerable detail as to the properties, uses, and desirable points of his product.

He also indicated that his particular company is desirous of having distribution handled through the legitimate retail lumber dealer.

All in all, he pointed out that our industry is faced with a competition that cannot be ignored.

President Beals then introduced Joseph P. Ralston, attorney with Ryley, Carlock & Ralston, who has developed and brought up to date the required amendments of our Articles of Incorporation and corrections to our By-Laws which, after 25 years, have become obsolete. He paid tribute to the committee consisting of Sam Beecroft, chairman, George Gaskin and Charles Mann who went over the voluminous data necessary to make these corrections and submitted them to Mr. Rilston to put in proper shape. In order to expedite matters, copies of this material were given to those present.

Mr. Ralston then answered auestions from the floor and explained changes that were required to bring these matters up to date. He also advised that in order to comply with legal requirements it would be necessary that they be adopted by the total membership present.

On a motion by George Rothfuss of Prescott, seconded by Joe Bauer of Mesa and unanimously carried, the revised Articles of Incorporation and amended by-laws were approved and attorneys were instructed to take the necessary steps to have them properly filed with the Corporation Commission.

President Beals then asked Mr. Ralston to make a re-

(Continued from Page 2) port on the situation confronting our industry as a result of the recent ruling handed down by the Supreme Court, requiring that all building material suppliers collect a 2/o tax on all materials sold (after July l-3%) to speculative builders.

The far-reaching effects of this decision were carefully explained in detail to the membership and the seriousness of the situation was readily recognized, with the result that the Resolutions Committee was instructed to draw up a resolution instructing the newly-elected officers, secretary and attorneys to use whatever efforts are necessary to pro- tect this industry from any contingent liability that may arlse.

It was also suggested that they meet with contractor groups .and solicit their support immediately and that necessary legislation should be developed for presentation at the next session of the legislature in order to correct this situation. There being no further business, meeting was adjourned for the day.

At 2:00 p.m. on Friday, May 15, the meeting was called to order by President Beals, who stated to the membership that on Thursday they had heard the plans of another competitor for the housing dollar, but tlat today they would hear from representatives of tl-re National Lumber Manufacturers, who have in the last several years recog- nized this growing competition and have started to do something about it.

He said that the retail lumber dealer is already noticing a considerable improvement in the type of literature and ad-vertising that the National Lumber-Manufacturers Association is -producing. He then introduced J. B. Edens, presi- dent of the Southwest Lumber Mills, Phoenix, Arizona, who acted as chairman of the panel.

Mr. Edens then introduced-Willard A. Constans, vicepresident of the Ralph L. Smith Lumber Company in Anderson, California; Russell J. Hogue, vice-president, Medford Corporation, Medford, Oregon; Loren-Dorman, direc- tor of advertising and merchandising division, National Lumber Nlanufacturers Association, W=ashington, D.C.. and C. M. "Buck" Buchanan of Van Sant, Dugdale & Company, Advertisers, Baltimore, Maryland.

Mr. Edens stated that the lumber manufacturers fully recognized that steps must be taken to improve relations with the retailer and that manufacturers must strive to improve their product, his means of distribution, and his forms of advertising. He first called on Mr. Hogue, who pointed out that the lumber manufacturing industry is possibly the most complex of all industriei, with about qq,0g0 companies producing lumber and lumber products. He felt, however, that the vast maiority of them now recognize their competition and that while'there will no doubt exist a very few unethical operators, it was hoped that the retailer would not consider them as reDresentative of the industry.

He stated that the industry recognized their competi- lien-ssnrsnt, steel, aluminum and plastics and knew that manufacturers of these materials were laying plans to reach into the housing market.

ffowever, he pointed out that they were also aware of the fact that the retail lumber dealer was the recognized channel for the distribution of lumber and that taking out those sales made direct to export and the railroads that 90o/o of the mill production is handled exclusively through retail channels.

He also pointed out that while dealers undoubtedly must sell other items, it was known that some pro4ucers of competitive items will by-pass the retail lumber dealer and sell direct.

He stated that the mills recognize that they must continue to_ supply quality materialJand that to insure quality materials there are three recognized grading organizationi which operate independent of the mills whose [raders are

examined and checked at intervals to be sure that they are on their toes and that grade stamping of lumber will be done free of charge. While Federal laws will not permit mills to insist on grade stamping of lumber, he felt that it was the desire of all mills that retailers request it. With the advent of tree farms and new techniques, the lumber crop is successfully being renewed, and even with increased demands the stands of saw timber todav will last 55 years.

Mr. Constans then reported that there are still some dealers who think back to the horse-and-buggy days and believe that there isn't any good lumber any more, but he wished to assure the retailers that while over the years the transformation may have been slow that there have been many important changes made and new products developed.

He stated that knotty pine has come into being during the last 2O years and that it is now being used extensively throughout the entire United States. Dry-kiln lumber is now almost universal. Finger jointing now makes available mouldings of any length. Gluing has been greatly improved and wood panels 2 ft. by 8 ft. in size-paper back are available. Better graded lumber is now available.

He stated very emphatically that the retail lumber dealer is the most important man in the industry, but tfiat in these changing times nobody wants inventory and everybody is striving to move materials as fast as possible.

In a good-natured way he did ask those present:

Are you trying to sell your stuff?

Are your men trained so that they will assist the customer to make selections of grades to fit the use?

Are the new materials that have been developed being brought to the attention of the customer?

Are you, as dealers, requesting publicity material that is now available for distribution to your customers ?

In general, are we throughout the industry putting forth as much effort as we should in promoting the use of wood products?

He pointed out that aluminum windows require just as much paint as do wood windows ; that moisture causes them to pit and rust while the modern u'ood window is chemically treated and is far superior. In fact, he pointed out that U.S. Steel in a recent housing project used wood windows throughout and that Youngstown Kitchens are now usirrg wood backing and shelves made of lumber to quiet the tinny effects.

Mr. Edens then stated that, particularly in this area, we should call to the attention of builders that a well-insulated wood wall costs a little more than block, but that the lower cost of insulation, the lotver cost of cooling units and lower cost of operation and maintenance more than offsets the difference in initial cost.

He then said that the National Lumber Manufacturers are developing a program of competition among architects to stimulate more lumber homes. Also, they are giving advice to manufacturers of air conditioners and are urging tract builders to ioin with us.

He pointed oit that actually since 1924 the Western Pine Association, which is one of the many groups affiliated with the National Lumber Manufacturers, have been doing some types of advertising. llowever, this year color is being used extensively in all types of advertising, with the message directed to the consumer and point out to him that his source of supply is the retail lumber dealer and that to assist him counter pieces, newspaper copy, and many other pieces are available for distribution.

He also pointed out that one of the little known accomplishments of the manufacturer was the establishment of a laboratory in Portland, Oregon, where important research has developed such things as the paper covered sheathing 'board, wood preservatives of windows and methods of protecting outside lumber. He then introduced Mr. Dorman.

Mr. Dorman stated that the program this year was being directed so as to create a greater acceptance'of lumber and

for that reason, ads in magazine, mostly in color, and featuring many species and types of lumber, were going out for consumer consumption. They were also developing a different type of material to be used by the architect and engineer, and still other types of literature for contractors and school groups.

He pointed out that the project obviously could not be regional; that it could not use one specie over another and that, while our greatest use for lumber was in the home building field, a considerable amotlnt went into wood furniture and other allied items.

He pointed out that they were not necessarily running their ads in dealer publications, leaving that space for the individual mill operator to sell his own product, but that they were pointing direct to target audiences who would create a demand.

He further advised that the Association for the first time has now put men in the field-technicians to call on engineers and architects and men experienced in the development of building codes. In all, there are 26 men located throughout the United States. Three or four of them are on the Pacific Coast and they are now making between five and six hundred calls a month.

Mr. Edens then called for questions from the floor and dealers very bluntly aired some of the situations which now exist, such as being unable to obtain orders of one grade such as Standard, and being required to take a phony grade known as Standard arrd Better; bad handling of shipments. In some cases it seemed apparent that mills deliberately delayed orders irr anticipation of higher prices, shoddy lumber and short.

Mr. Constans stated that he felt that grades were better today, both as to appearance and stress, and Mr. Edens pointed out that in the case where badly graded material is received the dealer has recourse to reinspectiorr.

One of the dealers suggested-and it was well taken by all-that within each association there should be set up a Lumber Better Business Bureau which could adjust and report such differences and that rather than

have reinspections such a group would be point those who are persistent violators. able to pin-

More than 140 members of the Association responded to subpoenas by the Court of Personnel Relations and were present at a special session of the Court to witness the testimony given at a llearing in "The Case of the Employer's Dilemma" or "Who's Strangling Your Business ?"

This "hearing" was held at 2:30 p.m. on May 16, \959, in the Superior Court Room of Yavapai County.

The Court of Personnel Relations is a special advisory body created specifically by the retail lumber industry solely for this Association event to consider personnel oroblems of its members.

- The special hearing was scheduled at the request of the retail lumber industry to determine the causes of and remedies for the general decline in individual sales and production due to apathetic attitude of industry personnel.

The Oakland Hoo-Hoo Reveille, wl-rich has come to be one of the largest single-club-sponsored Hoo-I{oo events in the country, went into its 27th year by providing a top- flight golf tournament and "night out" for more than 400 lumbermen at the Claremont hotel in Berkeley on Friday, May 15. This year's Reveille was ably chairmanned by Lafayette Dealer and immediate Club 39 Past President Chris Sechrist, with Jerry Mashek, current Club 39 prexy, directing the over-all show.

The lst annual Reveille was held at the Hotel Leamington in Oakland, the evening of April 21, 1933, presided over by then-president, Earle Johnson, now head of Watsonville Lumber Co., with Clem Fraser, who conceived the Reveille idea, chairmar.rning the affair. Now, 27 years later and still going strong, the 1959 Reveille got underway at 10:30 a.m. with a giant Reveille Golf Tournament at the Claremont Countrv Club in Oakland.

More than 150 golfers participated in the tournament, u'hicl-r was chairmanned by Paul Gaboury with Jack Crane sitting in as co-pilot. Sun Valley Lumber's Tom Jacobsen, Jr., took the big one when he walked off with the club's

" Babe, that there's whot I call a SOUND FOANDATION ! " observed Paul Bunyan as he delicately lifted up the old house with his pinkie. The Blue Ox grunted. "See them mudsills, girders an' posts? Been settin' there 25 years in the damp an' dark, supportin' 50,000 pounds o' house-an' not a trace o' rot or termites anywhere. Sound as the day they was cut...Babe, sure as you're true blue, that's BAXCO Pressure Treated Foundation LumbeiF ."

BAXCO pressure treated, FOUNDATION LUMBER

*Wl.t else, Paul? For the past 2l years

BAXCO pressure treated Foundation Lumber has been safeguarding thousands of l7estern homes against termites and wood-rot. Pressure treatment locks in the chemical protection for keeps. And when you figure, Paul, that just

one repair bill, caused by rot or termites, can run into hundreds of dollars-well, why take a chance ? Especially since BAXCO Pressure Treated Foundation Lumber adds so little to the total building cost-just a few dollars.

Handsplit cedar shakes are unquestionably the most luxurious, most lasting, roofing material available. That is why they are in such demand by those concerned with quality. Cedar shakes are made by hand. No hvo are ever quite alike. For this reason, the wise buyer specifies mill-inspected material! Always look for, always insiston, the genuine Certi-Split label of inspected qrnlity when you buy handsplit shakes. You'll find the label trnder the bandstick of the bundle.

Can you imagine a man possessed of unparalleled intelligence-writing, writing, and always writing in a world filled to bursting with vital men and terrific u7e1td sysnfsyet who never in any way, shape, or fashion, mentioned any of those contemporary people or events? Who wrote as though the world about him seemed not to exist?

William Shakespeare iu tl *rli.r, seems as amazing as the genius of his writing. In a world absolutely aflame, how could a man of superlative intelligence, whose pen seldom left his hand, fail to take some cognizance of what was going on around him? Yet search his works and see if you can discover or discern any trace of interest in any contemporary people or events.

He lived at a time when Cervantes and other writing giants were making literary history. In his time, Bruno, the martyr, taught in England, then went back to Rome to be burned at the stake. Drake encircled the earth. Galileo tore down a tiny world and gave to mankind a mighty universe in its stead.

Michelangelo set the world on fire with his paint brush. Kepler was educating the human race. Those were the days of the Spanish Armada, the execution of Marie Stuart, the Edict of Nantes, the Massacre of Bartholomew. Did Shakespeare ever take notice of any of these people or events? Not one word. FiguT ,nla out, you scholars.

The era of Copernicus immediately preceded that of Shakespeare. Until Copernicus came along, the earth was the center of the universe, and all the stars were just company, scenery, or window dressing for this tiny earth of ours.

But Copernicus taught us that the earth is only a grain of sand on the infinite shore of the universe; that everywhere we are surrounded by shining worlds, most of them far greater in size and importance than our own; all moving in accordance with Law. Copernicus put this earth in its place, taught us of its relative size and importance, and how it moves and revolves. He made the world small: but he made God big.

The great British statesman, Disraeli, was once twitted in Parliamentary debate about his Jewish ancestry. His reply lives in history. He said: "Yes, I am a Jew. And in days of old when your forefathers were living in caves, dressed in the skins of wild beasts, eating raw meat and knowing no God, my forefathers were living in the palaces of kings, dressed in the royal purple and giving thanks to the most high God on Mount Moriah."

According to written history, his disciple. Tzu-lu once asked Confucius, "What makes a gentleman?" And the great Chinese teacher replied: "A gentleman has nine aims : to see clearly; to understand what he hears; to be warm in manner, dignified in bearing, faithful in speech, keen at work; to ask when in doubt and, in sight of gain, to think of right."

There is a story about a beautiful New York glamour girl who always dated older men rather than the glamour boys, and when asked about it, she said: "What can you get from youngsters?" Someone answered: "Memories." And the wise girl asked: "And w\ere can you hock memories?"

Intended as a general interest piece of literature, the 8-page folder can be used as a counter-top give-away by wholesalers and deaiers, or as a mailing piece to commercial and individual customers.

The folder describes with illustrations and a minimum of tcxt where and how the unique redwoods grow, how they attain their great size and their age, and what gives them their amazing resistance to decay, insects and fire. The folder also explains how these same durability characteristics are possessed by lumber manufactured from the California redwoods. Feature of the booklet is an illustrated flow chart which explains the "selec-

tive cutting" methods which ensure a supply of redwood lumber for years to come, and sketches the steps in the production of quality redwood lumber -from the forest to the finished product.

Single copies of the ,booklet may be obtained without charge, additional copies at cost, from the Dealer Service Library, California Redwood Association, 576 Sacramento Street, San Francisco 11. California.

Shipment of IOO-ft. Timbers Drows Nqtionql Attention

Eugene, Ore.-It has been quite a few years since a shipment of lumber drew as much attention in these lumbersophisticated parts as did the one that recently left the Hull-Oakes mill at nearby Bellfountain on a coast-to-coast trip.

But it has also been quite a few years since timbers of select structural Douglas fir 100 feet long have been cut and shipped-even in these parts.

So it was little wonder that stories about the 24 sticks that filled two 65-foot flatcars were flashed, along with pictures, across the country by the major news services.

The unusual timbers were bought through Oregon- Pacific Lumber of Portland, national lumber distribuling

The schoolroom was deathly quiet for a minute. Then a voice from the rear asked: "Where's his sled?"

ment, the timbers were wanted as stringers on a new car ferry dock the railroad is constructing at Jersey City, N.J. The lumber was cut from specially selected l20-year-old

Douglas firs. The mill had the trees felled in trenches filled with fir branches-to cushion the fall and ensure solid timber. Next big problem was getting the long logs to the mill-one of only two in this area still capable of handling such long lengths-over narrow coastal mountain roads. Once that had been accomplished and the logs milled, it took two straddle carriers, two forklift trucks and a crew of a dozen men, half a day of careful work to load the 24 sticks. Final end trimming was not done until the sticks were in olace on the cars.

Cross lectional dimensions of the timbers ranged from 6x14 to 7x16.'fhey contained more than 19,000 board feet of lumber.

A notable sidelight was that the rare 100-foot timbers were cut and shipped during the month in which Oregon celebrated its 100th anniversary as a state-a state whose economy has long been built, and still is, around the lumber industry.

question of who pays the taxes but rather who can survive under such a strangling tax hold."

Lumber Dealer Mullin pointed out that there is olle area in which growth is "definitely not a desirable ingredient in our business life." This undesirable ingredient, he said, is the "growth of our tax burden which threatens to reach such heights that it is even now doubtful if lve will ever recover."

California is now at the top of the list in per capita state and local taxes with $237.87, Mullin stated, and the threat of higher and higher taxes is small inducernent for new companies to locate here. He labeled the curren[ FEPC legislation as the most severe business control in the United States. Such legislation, he said, will only "increase any tensions that exist and serves to fan hot the flame of prejudice where a growing understanding existed before."

Mullin emphasized two important areas of growth: international air route program and industrial expansion. "International air travel," he said, "opens up lrew import and export opportunities for this area, increases travel and tourism and thereby helps to contribute to a better urrderstanding between nations."

Mullin also told the Electric Club audience that capital investment in announced new plants and expansions is expected to total nearly $200,000,000 by December 31.

But, he added, this growth can be deterred through political interference such as California's proposed new Economic Development Agency. The proposal, Nlullin said, would prohibit Agency offices in Southerr.r California, where the need really exists, and establish them in North-

ern California. Where politics interfere. the Chamber oflicial stated, the aclr-erse ell-ects of such a program may rvell resrrlt in creation of dcep antagonism alnon!3- busitress interests in the State.

ll ullin :issured the l,,lectric Club that the "Chamber u'oulcl \\'age a continuing fight to guarcl agaitrst attacks orr our hard-u,on ..vealth," referrirrg to recelrt actiotrs of eastern politicians. "True," he said, "u.e have attracted rnore that.t our slr:rrer of the scientific br:rit-t1tou,er to the Lcis Arrgeles :rrea throrrgh the natural attractions of onr climate.

Business means just what it sounds like.

In the beginning in early England, there sprang up a class who were neither army nor clergy, but interested in econirmics and finance and industry in a small way.

They called it "busy-ness." Later it became business.

A busy person is generally a happy one. Daily, useful work is man's great blessing. Business in its modern sense means scientific effort to improve products, increase them, improve their service and distribution, and improve tfie living conditions of human beings.

Shorr Seosons

In Duluth, Minnesota, they used to say regarding their seasons that they have eleven months of winter and one month of poor sleighing.

Farther North, into the Canadian country, the seasons get still more definite. A visitor said to a native up there:

"How long is your summer season up in this country?"

And he answered:

"ft came on Friday last year. You never can tell."

Thoughr lr Wos Srrickly Credick

The backwoods character became heir to several hundred dollars and went right down to the store where he had been buying groceries and paid a bill of long standing. Then he strolled down the street, went into another grocery, bought a big bill of groceries and paid cash for them. The first grocer, who had been carrying him so long, heard about it and called him to account. He said:

"\illhat kind of a man are you, anyway? When you are poor and need credit, I let you have the groceries you need to keep your worthless hide together, and then when you get a lot of cash money you go over to my competitor, and buy a lot of groceries for cash."

The countryman's mouth opened wide in wonderment, as he said:

"Good Lawd, Mister Jackson, f never knowed you sold groceries for cash."

Emerson on Friendship

"Our friendships hurry to short and poor conclusions, because we have made them a texture of wine and dreams, instead of the tough fiber of the human heart.

"The laws of friendship are great, austere and eternal, of one web with the laws of nature and morals. But we have aimed at a swift and petty benefit, to such a sudden sweetness. We snatch at the slowest fruit in all the garden of God, which many surnmers and many winters must ripen. We seek our friend, not sacredly, but with an adulterate passion which would appropriate him to ourselves."

Where Hoppiness,Dwells

Nobody knows where happiness dwells, Or how to snare it by charms and spells; It can fly like a lark; it can bud like a rose, But the secret of happiness nobody knows. This much is true: it will not depart From the way of a tender and loving heart; It can veer like the wind; it can turn like the tide, But in souls that have faith it will still abide.

Fred Windeler, head of George Windeler, Ltd., pioneer San Francisco millwork, tank and cooling-tower manufacturing firm, and his wife have returned from a 7-week tour of the Orient, with stops in Japan, the Orient and the Philippines, and a 10-day layover in Hawaii for the "dessert."

Paul E. Kent, Hollywood wholesale lumberman, makes like a proud Grandpa when he reports that Little Leaguer Gary Kent, 8rl years, playing second base for Van Nuys, made the first unassisted triple-play in Little League history, May 23, when he caught a line drive hit right to him with "men" on second and third. The runners were ofi with the "smack" of the apparent "flyball" and Gary stepped on second, ran to third to get the runner before he could get back, and thus made history for himself and the League. That, of course, ended the inning with the quick-thinking by the 8-year-old. Paul says Gary will join him in the lumber business come 1971 when he graduates from university with a Forestry major.

Strable Lumber General Manager Jim Overcast took off the last two \{ay weeks for a northern California vacation.

This exceptional durability combines with Red Cedar's light weight, working ease and high insulating properties to make it a natural choice for every type of construction, indoors and out. With its distinctive grain patterns and warm "woody" color variations, Western Red Cedar may be stained, bleached, varnished or used as is to harmonize handsomely with any setting.

A construction milestone was reached in Los Angeles this month, when a conventional 1650 sq. ft. home was built in three days without a stick of lumber touching the ground. President Dale J. Missimer of the Los Angeles llome Show announced that Scholz Homes. Inc.. built an 8-room house between Wednesday morning and Friday night. Called the Mark 59, the house will be one of three model homes displayed during the Home Show, July 16 through 26, at the new Coliseum Sports Arena.

Scholz Official Bill Getty said all parts of the house were manufactured in a central plant and then trucked to the site where skilled workmen assembled it. Doors. windows. floors, walls, etc., were lifted right off truck and put in their proper places without touching the ground, he declared. A door, for example, comes completely equipped with all hardware and is hung in a matter of minutes by a workman using only a screwdriver.

Getty said the Scholz homes were not pre-fab construction, but were "more house than homes built by methods over 100-years old."

Putting 'U' in Aluminum

Washington, D. C.-The 1,475 U. S. lumber dealers franchised to build house parts under the Lu-Re-Co svstem of component construction will be offered a line of i3 or more Reynolds aluminum building products, including siding, under the agreement between Reynolds Metals Co. and the Lu-Re-Co Service Assn. The association. a srlbsidiary of the Lumber Dealers Research Council, will make Reynolds products available to its members at 5 to l5/o less than they could buy them elsewhere, reports the National Lumber Manufacturers Assn. "Lumber Letter" of May 22.

A spokesman for the association explains the development: "We're not joining an-y- camp to the exclusion of others. lVe're willing to work with any material that is willing to work with us and move with us." The move was interpreted as an effort by retail dealers to keep pace with prefab home manufacturers in the East who have recently added aluminum houses to their lines.

U.5. Plywood Corp. Agrees to Buy Booth-Kelly Assers for $8O million

United States Plywood Corp. has agreed to purchase the assets of the old Booth-Kelly Lumber Co., Springfield, Ore., for about $80 million cash, reports The Wall Sireel Journal, but a legal action to block the proposed sale was filed in l-ane County Circuit Court, Eugene, Ore., by Springfield Plywood Corp. of whose stock 81/o is held by Georgia-Pacific Corp., another big plywood producer.

U. S. Plywood's acquisition of Booth-Kelly is subject to the approval of stockholders of Booth-Kelly, a closely held concern whose principal assets include about 150,000 acres of virgin

Douglas fir containing an estimated three billion feet of timber. Directors of both companies have approved the purchase.

Circuit Court Judge A. T. Goodwin in Eugene said that by agreement of counsel for Booth-Kelly and Springfield Plywood, the hearing on the injunction to block the transfer of assets to U. S. Plywood would take place before Booth-Kelly stockholders vote on the liquidation and sale olan.

Springfield Plywood, l8/o of whose stock is held by BoothKelly itself, seeks to block the proposed sale until the settlement of a suit, filed in 1956, involving Springfield, Georgia-Pacific and Booth-Kelly. In this suit, Booth-Kelly is seeking to termirlate a contract under which it sells logs not needed in its own operations to Springfield for making plywood and in turn receives a portion of the finished plywood.

Booth-Kelly alleges its minority rights have not been served and.charges Georgia-Pacific has breached the contract. GeorgiaPacific jn lqrn alleges the suit is an attempt to evade the provisions of a l94O contract that has until 1965 to run with renewal up to the year 2OOO.

At stake in the current dispute is the big Booth-Kelly log supply. Springfield reportedly fears its first right to the log supply might be lost should the assets of Booth-Kellv be sold to !_. S^. P_lywood. Ironically, should Booth-Kelly sell-its assets !g q q Plywood, the two largest fir plywood manufacturers, U. S. Plywood and Georgia-Picific, wbulcl each become partowners of Springfield.

The current court contest is not the first to involve the rival plywood prodqsers. U. S. Plywood fought a patent-infringement suit. through Federal Courts in New York against GeorgiaPacific last year.

A U. S. Plywood official in New York said Booth-I(ellv timberlands are "one of _the largest and finest old-growtir stands of timber on the West Coast still in privatJhands and the forests have been developed with roads and utilities." Also included in the assets is a sawmill. U. S. plvwood's present timber reserves amount to about 4.6 billi6n board feet either owned or under contract.
