The Wall Street Journal recently published facts and figures on the mortality rate among new products that come on the market, that are really shocking.
For instance the article quoted a highly respected firm of market research checkers, as saying that out of every 26 new products placed on the market by the industry of the nation, 23 f.ail. They go into the limbo of forgotten things, never to appear again.
The same article quotes one of the nation's biggest advertising firms as saying that of every 25 new products that are test marketed, only one succeeded in making the grade. The other 24 go down the drain, and are seen no more. These figures from authoritative and dependable sources
will no doubt surprise the average business man. Perhaps proving the old adage that "there is nothing new under the sun." Folks think they have something new and valuable so they put it on the market.
And nearly all of them disappear into those shady spots where the woodbine twineth. It's sad, but evidently true. Don't count your chickens before they're hatched, or spend too much money hatching them. Only one out of every 25 tested proves valuable. These are mighty poor gambling odds.
That doesn't mean that industry, €v€n reading the score, will stop trying to bring out new things. But it might make folks a bit more careful.
Smile if it kills you: then you'll die with a grin on your face.
Who misses, or who wins the ptize, go, lose or conquer if you can; but if you fall, or if you rise, be each, pray God, a gentleman.
Advertising is the short-cut between producer and consumer. It cuts out all the curves and round-about tours. The printed word does the work of thousands of salesmen. Goods can never be sold unless there is a demand, and advertising creates that demand in the simplest, most direct and least expensive way.
*<
There has never been anything discovered to take the place of advertising. It sells to the millions while salesmen sell to the thousands, and profits lie in volume. Increased volume should decrease the cost of production. Advertising constantly works toward keeping prices down, as much as it helps the dealer, by his own advertising, to increase his sales volume or turnover and reduce his selling cost
Speaking of advertising, Robinson Crusoe was original advertising optimist. Things looked bad for
BY JACK DIONNEold boy, but he didn't kick and he didn't whimper. He used his head. He studied the situation all over. and then he said: "I have it ! I'll advertise !"
*{<{<
Think of it ! Crusoe was a thousand miles from nowhere. Possible readers of his ad were only a few every several years. It was hard times, money depression, and bad conditions all rolled into a lump. But he didn't let that stop him. So he hung a shirt at the top of a pole on the highest part of the island. His first ads brought no returns. But he didn't quit advertising. Not Robinson Crusoe. He changed the copy. He put up another shirt, and he kept on doing it. Finally he got a ship, by persistent advertising'
Probably the best compliment for the average Chamber of Commerce was written long ago by William Allen White. He wrote: "The Chamber of Commerce modifies the innate cussedness of the average selfish, hard-boiled, picayunish, penny-pinching, narrow-gauge human porker, lifts up his snout, makes him see farther than his home, his business and his personal interests, and sets him rooting for the community. A man, no matter how greedy or squint-eyed he may be, cannot work a year upon a committee of his town's Chamber of Commerce without being the the

It should always be remembered concerning Thomas Jefferson that he asked to be remembered for three things. First, that he was the author of the bill for religious freedom in Virginia. Second, that he wrote the Declaration of Independence. Third, that he was the founder of the University of Virginia. And he placed the separation of church and state (Virginia had her own church supported by law up to that time) first of all, and rightly so.
Elbert Hubbard wrote the following fine thoughts on the subject of home ownership: "The highest average of intelligence, happiness, and prosperity is found in the villages where each family owns his own home and where the renter is the exception. The ownership of a very small plot of ground steadies life, lends ballast to existence, and is a bond given to society for good behavior. 'I am no longer an anarchist; I have bought a lot and am building a house,'wrote a Russian refu8ee*to the folks back home."
Some wise man has said that a gentleman in the true sense of the word is a man who, in his daily life practices gentleness, kindness, consideration, moderation, mutual helpfulness, and the belief that one man's privileges end where another man's rights begin.
Let us close this essay with a true story about one of our great early Americans whose name was Patrick Henry. Thomas Jefferson had met him while he was tending bar in his father-in-law's tavern. The next time they met Patrick announced his intention of taking the examination for admission into the Virginia Bar. Jefferson remarked that he thought he was already a bartender, but }Ienry responded by saying that this was a different kind of a bar. Jefferson asked him how long he'd been studying law. Henry said three months. And Jefferson asked him if he didn't think he ought to take more time studying law. Henry replied, "Some men take a long time to learn things, others not so long."
And to the utter amazement of Jefferson, llenry was admitted to the Bar on his first examination. These two great men remained close friends for life, and in addition to the legal profession, they had something else in common; both were enthusiastic fiddlers.

T\OUGLAS Fir Plywood Association will launch a naLf tional network television campaign this fall in a massive effort to win broad public acceptance of the varied roles plywood plays in today's building technology.
The decision to move into television came at a general meeting of the DFPA where 87 per cent of the membership approved a special dues increase which will produce an estimated $3.6 million over a two year period. This will be over and above the association's basic promotion program which includes about $5 million for quality control, research and trade promotion.
"This is the most important decision the industry has made since it inaugurated a national promotion program in 1938," said W. E. Difford, DFPA executive vice president.
New Program
Difford announced that the association will sponsor
eviderlce of the tremendous vitality of the plywood industry."
The idea for expanding plywood promotion through TV originated with a group of southern Oregon producers sparked by Robert G. Davis, general manager of Southern Oregon Plywood. It picked up steam during the market slump of last fall.
Analyzing the industry's position before the decision, DFPA advertising director, John Ritchie, said television provides by far the best vehicle for the "massive strategic selling job the industry needs to hold and enlarge present markets and to expand into new ones."

Ritchie said the majority of the commercials will be oriented to the sales needs of lumber dealers, builder-dealers and home builders. Some will emphasize how structural plywood in subfloors, wall sheathing and roof decking produces better consumer values in homes. Others will demonstrate remodeling possibilities with plywood and there will be some attention to the interests of home handymen, backing up dealers emphasizing this market.
Other commercials will sell new products, boats, farm rlses and plywood properties related to consumer interests. Where it's logical, potential buyers will be advised to contact their buildir-rg supply dealer for advertised material. Dealers will be informed in advance of subjects of commercials and given the opportunity to tie in.

Regal specializes in the custom manufacture of doors for institutional uses, public buildings and custom residential installations.
This progressive firm has also installed modern veneering machinery and equipment which makes it possible to produce 4x8 3/4" exotic ply-
wood for all interior purposes. Twentyeight species of foreign and domestic veneers are stocked for customer selection, assuring fast completion of orders to all areas of the United States.
"We are now serving a nation-wide rharket," Mr. Bingley said.

Ritchie said the television venture would not affect the size of present campaigns and might have the effect of enlarging them with tie-in promotions.
"{Jp to now we have been aiming carefully at selected markets-our campaigns have been tactical ones. Television gives us a cannon, where we've only had a rifle before. We'll still hit the bull's eye, but with an audience conservatively estimated at 12 million, we can blanket the entire target."
Two basic problems inside the plywood industry, complicated by a third one from outside, make it necessary for the industry to adopt a strategic outlook, rather than a tactical one, Ritchie said. A study conducted by the DFPA staff took these problems into account in evaluating possible promotional avenues.
Over-production has been haunting the industry for almost two years. Although plywood use has climbed at a record pace, the industry's capacity has skyrocketed. This has meant a glutted market and slim profits. New markets

A new Southern Pacific spur track is being completed to facilitate fast shipment to the east, and also to accomodate delivery of inventory from the four corners of the earth.

have to be found and old ones expanded.
At the same time, competition from other, newer materials has become stiffer. Plastics, aluminum, steel and other materials are edging into markets that traditionally belong to plywood.
Complicating these problems has been the flood of advertising and other promotion from the giants of these newer industries. While the plywood industry is made up of relatively small companies, aluminum, for instance, is produced by a few major corporations with big advertising budgets that are spent on successful, aggressive campaigns -principally on television.
Ritchie pointed out that the plywood industry leads in innovations and new building techniques. He cited pioneering work of the association in plywood building components, new roof shapes such as space planes and in new marketing concepts such as second homes and retirement housing.
But the general public-the ultimate consumer-doesn't know much of this. he said.
"Current plywood promotion does an effective job in reaching specific selected markets," he said. "But only a major promotional breakthrough can do the massive selling iob that's called for now. The industry's answer is television bn a scale big enough to reach e,rery ho*. in the country."

fF EVER AN ORGANIZATION disproved the old I In-Law Fable. it would have to be Kin Ton Lumber Company in Cloverdale where Russ Kin.sey, h-is father--inlaw, -Owen Sexton, and his brother-in-law, Warren M9Pherson, are really making the sawdust fly after their first year of operation.
Kiirsey and Sexton, who took over the big plant formerly operated by Cloverdale Redwood Company a year ago, last March, look back upon the past year as a real "testing ground" for their relationship. Perhaps both men are enIitled to breathe a little sigh of relief now that the plant is operatin g at a good healthy percentage of ca-pacity' Star-ting wlth a dormant plant, and weath-ering a lumber markei anything but radiant, Kinsey and Sexton have, through minagement know-how and belt tightening economies, put their plant back on the map.
Norv covering 40 acres of choice industrial property, Kin Ton offers a w-ide range of services to in-transit shippers, as well as a L.C.L. buliness of its own. Facilities include four big double track kilns, C'x14" plaler facilities, a resaw that will take cants up to 12"x12", and a complete gradipg service for all West Coast species.
Kinsey, a native of Kansas, grew up in Cloverdale and managed the A. F. Stevens Lumber Company yard there for four years following his discharge from the Army Air Corps. In a way, Kin Ton rvas Russ' first love because he has been identified with the operation of the plant since the days it was under the ownership of the o1d Coastal Plywood & Timber Company. Russ continued on at the plant under the more recent ownership of Hollow Tree Lumber Company as kiln operator, shipping and manufacturing supeiintendent, and in the same capacity for Sonoma Wood Products prior to the formation of Kin Ton.
Sexton on the other hand is the machinery "wizard" of the two, having come to Cloverdale during 1948 _as a planerman where he's been setting up ever since. Owen originally was in heavy construction and oil field work, firs-t in ih. Mid*.rt fialds for Sinclair Oil Company and later in the Olympia, Washington area in construction.
McPherson, who now manages the planing mill, grew up in Cloverdale and cut his teeth in the lumber game with several local sarvmills before joining Kinsey and Sexton last year.

May he be openfaced and undeceptive as I am; may he be true to trust reposed in him, as I am to his. Give him a face cheerful like unto my wagging tail; give him a spirit of gratitude like unto my licking tongue. Fill him with patience like unto mine that awaits his footsteps uncomplainingly for hours; fill him with my watchfulness, my courage, and my readiness to.sacrifice comfort or life for one I love. Keep him always young in heart and crowded with the spirit of play, even as I. Make him a good man as I am a dog. Make him worthy of me-his dog.
Take time to work-it is the price of success.
Take time to think-it is the source of power.
Take time to play-it is the secret of youth.
Take time to read-it is the fountain of wisdom.
Take time to worship-it is the highway of reverence.
Take time to be friendly-it is the road to happiness.
Take time to dream-hitch your wagon to a star.
Take time to love and be loved-it is the privilege of the gods.
Take time to laugh-it is the music of the soul.
Take time to live.

Did you tackle the trouble that came your way
With a resolute heart, and cheerful?
Or hide your face from the light of day
With a craven soul, and fearful?
O, a trouble's a ton or a trouble's an ounce, Or a trouble is what you make it, And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts, But only, how did you take it?
You are beaten to earth. Well, well, what's that?
Come up with a srniling face, It's nothing against you to fall down flat, But to lie there-that's disgrace.
The harder you're thrown, the higher you'll bounce; Be proud of your blackened eye, It isn't the fact that you're licked that counts, It's how did you fight-and why?
And though you be done to the death, what then? If you baitted the best you could, If you played your part in the world of men, The Critic will call it good.

Merle Tyner, veteran lumberman of Butler, Missouri, a constant reader of our stories and editorials for a great many years (and who can recognize a good story as he does a good lumber magazine), sent us the following one: A man drove through the country making a survey. He had with him two horses-one black and one white-and also carried a crate of chickens. This was his plan: As he stopped at each place, if the man of the family was the boss, to give them a horse. If the woman of the house was the boss, the family would get a chicken.
Toward evening his chickens were nearly all gone, but
he still had the two horses. At the next place, in answer to his inquiry, the owner said: "I'm the boss around here." And his wife chimed in: "That's right; he has been the boss as long as I've known him."
So the man explained the livestock gimmick, and told the husband to take his pick of the two horses. He looked them over and said: "I'll take the black horse." flis wife crooked her finger at him and said, "Just a second." They retired into the house for a conference. When they came out the husband said: "I've changed my mind. I'll take the white horse." But the traveler said: "Oh, no you won't. YOU'LL TAKE A CHICKEN !''

The new "Ghalloner" #723 Door Units installed at Artesia lloor Gompany are designed to speed up pr& duction of high quality doors in every phase ol the operation. "Ghalloner" basic machines are constructed with three posts instead of the usual two, which allows a more flexible arangement of the cutting stations, and nakes room for the installation of more units. Equipped with a combination sander.polisher unit, the first machine gives a furniture smooth finish to the door edges, and all necessary units are equipped with tilting mechanisms for running pre-fit doors. Each door is fed through the machines by a modern Vee. Type Chain with every link a center link, much improved over older types.
Artesia's new "Challonet" #723 Door Sizer Units ale geared to turn out 2500 to 3500 doors per eight hour shift, a rate of about five doors per minute. An auto. matic gate type transfer mechanism allows both ma. chines to run continuously when properly synchronized, allowing the number one machine to be fed with relatively n0 gaps. This prevents doors from piling up in a hopper and also prevents scratching. Artesia's modernized plocess sayes time, labor, and money. The money saved is passed on to YOU on the price of yorr doors.
KVAL Model 880A Automatic 12 second cycle Routing-Boring Machine for machining doors for lock and hinges.
The machining operations for three hinges, drilling for lock, and routing out for face plate are accomplished rn l2 seconds. The door is merely slid against a limit switch stop and the cycle begins. The door is held in place by a system of cylinders. The hinge routing and drilling take place at the same time for maximum effiiierrcy. All mechanical movements are IOO/6 automated.
IF you are in the door unit business, or anticipate getting rnto it, you would be wise to consider this machine. The 990RB is now available with automatic drilling and a new system of hinge routing mechanisms. The door and iamb are placed in the machine. A foot switch actuates the drills. The door and iamb are routed manuallv and the hinges applied while the door and jamb are still in the machine. The components. construction. 'anC design are the finest.

qPORTS NIGHT at Hacienda Club, tJ La Habra, was a social success but a financial loss, May l9th, when 58 golfers turned out for the tournament and more than half of them departed before (or right after) the cocktail hour. This left the arrangements comrnittee holding tl-re bag-ar.rd it was a BIG bag to hold when tl-re dinner guarantee had been set at 100. The club had to pay for 35 "nnused" steak and lobster dinners.
This "shock" not being bad enough for prexy John Osgood to shell out do-re-me from the treasurv. he rvas reall1- shook up u'herr the ipeaker of the evenirrg failed to sho-"v. Mr. Vem Stepl-rens. ex-Red Sox, ex-St. Louis Brorl,n and presently retired just couldn't find Hacienda back in the hills -so gave up and went home. Consecluentlv nobody learned rvhy the Angels are in the cellar wl-ren tl-rey play such exciting baseball.
Phil Kelty saved the r,vhole affair rvhen he unstabled his horses. set uD the race track and let the "bangtails'' run for fun. This feature truly saved tl-re evenir.rg. The food, as usnal, was excellertt arrd the service in every respect lvas splendid. This club, Hacienda. is in a beautiful setting and the mountain goat golfers got a real, honest workout for their money. Speaking of the golf tournament here is the way they stacked up at prize presentatron trme :

-Jim Harff also rvalked away with tl-re 3rd flite low net, and of course the trophy.

This was handled- in spiie of the 'fa;t lfarvey couldn't be present. lle was ou a swing to Reno and San Francisco.
During the evening business sessiou, u'hich included presentation of the incoming officers for 1961-62, Snark _fohn Osgood read a prepared endorsement of the activities of Black Cat Flarvey Koll who has his hat in the ring for Snark of the Universe. This endorsement has been sent to the International Order for consideration at the 70th annual convention to be held next September in Miami, Florida.
Dee Essley is campaign manager for Harvey and he has ttre l\Iidas-Touch -so llarvey should be elected.
Bill Bright, Tarter, Webster and Johnson manager from Van Nuys, was
introduced by president Osgood as the new Snark of the San Fernando Valley Hoo-Hoo club recently launched to serve Tom Cats over tl-re pass.
Despite the small attendance and the snafu-ed entertainment program, tl-re good fellowship and high spirits of the lumbermen present turned the evening into the usual enjoyable affair that Hoo-Hoo meets always are.
Following the running of the races the boys headed out on the town. The only thing being they were so far out in the country they just couldn't find town. The next, and final meeting of the current Hoo-Hoo season will be held Friday, June 16th, at Inglewood Country Club. Be sure and make your plans to be on hand. It will be a gala

In time for the annual summer exodus to the mouutains and beaches. West Coast Lumbermen's Association has published complete do-it yourself plans for a low-cost Starter Vacation Cabin.
Another new item in WCLA's spring promotion program is a do-it-yourself plan for an Atomic Fallout Shelter.
The architecturally-designed Vacation Cabin is built of a series of 3-foot panels, constructed on jigs, for the floor, walls and ceilings. The starter unit is 9'xl2', plus an extended front deck of any size desirecl. There is space in the starter unit for two double bunks, a small closet; cookiug area, cabinet for food storage and sPace for a lavatory.
Retailers can use the plans in three ways:
(1) They can build the comPonents in their yard and erect the cabin on site for tl-reir customers.
(2) They can build and sell the panels only, letting the customer erect the cabir-r himself.
(3) They can sell the materials o11ly, and let the customer do the building and erecting himself'
All three methods Provide an excellent way for the retailer to use his
short oieces of lumber and odd-sized doors-and windows, and still make a orofit on these hard-to-move items.
- \\rith the addition of identical cabin units, the structure can be built to as large a size as desired.
Plans for the Atomic Fallout Shelter call for Utility grade West Coast lumber for the walls and Standard grade for the ceiling. The shelter is designed to meet the recommended standards of the Offrce of Civil and Defense Mobilization.
The shelter is of crib-type construction and can be built in a basement corner, using the house foundation for fallout protection, plus a one-foot layer of sand in the ceiling ar-rd the double r.ron-foundation walls.
Depending on the size, the shelter can double as a game room, photo dark room, den or storage room for offseason sports equipment. Its sounddeadening properties make it useful for a study or a hi-fi listening room.
Plans for the Starter Vacation Cabin and the Atomic Fallout Shelter (botli fold down to 8f" x 11") are available in quantity without cost from West Coast I.umbermen's Association, l+10 S.W. Morrison Street. Portland 5, Oregon.

Over 600 building designers, engineers, contractors and representatives of allied professions are expected to attend the 11th annual convention of the American Institute of Building Design, San Francisco, July 27-30.
Meetings and exhibits will be held at the Jack Tar Hotel, convention headquarters. More than 30 major manufacturers and their r:epresentatives have booked .pace for the lobby exhibits.
Among the distinguished guests invited to address the convention are Governor Edmund G. Brown of California; Robert C. Weaver, administrator of the Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency; California's Attorney General Stanley Mosk; and Mayor George Christopher of San Francisco.
An outstanding authority on nrban development and
home construction, David D. Bohannon, will participate in the program before the delegates. Bohannon is a former president of the National Association of Home Builders and a leader in the industry.
The A.I.B.D. represents some 3,000 members-chiefly building designers and draftsmen associated with them. Also members are licensed general contractors, engineers and others in the field. In general, the aims of the Institute are to aid its members by channeling information of significance within the industry; to raise the standards of its membership through education and qualifications and to aid in training future members now at the high school and college levels.

Acquisition by United States Plywood Corporation of Western Plywood Company Ltd., with annual sales of $18 million. was announced May 23. '
S. W. Antoville, U.S. Plywobd .hair*"n, said the addition of Western's six manufacturing plants and eight distribution outlets in Canada will round out his company's coverage of all major markets in the Dominion.
The transaction was completed for about $6.5 million, and will result in the issuance of approximately 110,000 shares of U.S. Plywood common to former Western Plywood holders. The balance is being made up in an undisclosed amount of cash.
John Bene, who continues as president and managing director of Western, said in a simultaneous announcement emanating from Vancouver, 8.C., that holders of more than 91 per cent of Western's 423,978 shares of class B stock and 95 per cent of its A stock number 80,000 shares have accepted the offer U.S. Plywood made public in April.
Along with owned or controlled standing timber amounting to more than two billion board feet, U.S. Plywood acquires four additional Canadian plywood plants-two in Vancouver, one in Quesnel, British Columbia, and one in Edmonton, Alberta-with capacity to produce about 200 million square feet annually on a /s" basis. These plants produce Douglas fir and poplar plywood and specialty items such as sidings and doors. Two sawmills and eight distributing warehouses, similar to the chain of sales centers now operated by U.S. Plywood in the United States and Canada, complete the Western Plywood picture.
With the addition of Western Plywood facilities to those of Hay & Co. Ltd., a manufacturing division acquired in 1945, and Weldwood Plywood Limited, established as the distribution arm in Canida in 1946, U.S. Plywood operates a total of 54 plants and 144 sales centers that include

Gene C. Brewer, president of U.S. Plywood, pointed out that Canadian plywood production has risen from 300 million square feet in 1950 to more than 1,200 million in 19ffi. (%" basis).
"Canada not only produces ply'"vood for her own needs but supplies 20 per cent o{ the United Kingdom's consumption," he said. "We're anticipating continued growth of Canadian markets, particularly in component construction, summer or vacation homes, and in farm buildings. Our present investment in Canada's future will undoubtedly increase."
United States Plywood now has an investment in Canadian operations amounting to 15 per cent of the company's total net worth, with all Canadian sales (including Western's) accounting for an estimated $36 million. The firm's annual total sales have been upwards of a cluarter of a billion dollars.

W/ASHINGTON, D.C., was the focal point for the VrY building materials industry recently as members of the 1961 NRLDA Exposition Committee gathered there to discuss plans for their late Fall Show. The Exposition is slated for McCormick Place, Chicago's $34,000,000 exposition center, November 4-7.
Dealers from every area of the U.S. were represented at the Washington conference table, and their discussions resulted in a positive promotion program for dealer and exhibitor attendance, along with a dynamic, four-day Exposition agenda. The tone of the April meeting was set by the early report that exhibitors were reserving space at a pace 4N/o ahead of last year's figures, and it was also predicted that dealer registration would be at an all time high.
A comprehensive dealer program for the Exposition was decided upon with emphasis on practical, profit-making ideas. Included are such subjects as : Employee Development; Cash and Carry ; Components ; Sheil Housing; and Modernization and Repair-all to be presented under the direction of experts in these fields. The second day of the
Legislation which could seriously curtail competition between the various modes of transportation in our country is currently the subject of hearings before the Senate Commerce Committee l-readed by Senator Magnuson (D-Wash.) as Chairman.
While the Committee's hearing's were specifrcally limited to the consideration of one measure, S. 1197, by Senator Bartlett (D-Alaska), there is also pending before the Committee a bill by Senator Yarborough (D-Texas), S. 1089, which would amend other provisions of the Interstate Commerce Act for purpose similar to those of S. 1197. The Bartlett bill, whicl-r is co-sponsored by Senator Cotton (R-N.H.), \{onroney (D-Okla.), Yarborough (D-Texas),
Exposition will be highlighted by 'An Old Fashioned Sales Revival,' featuring Herb True and Fred Klemp, two o{ America's outstanding sales personalities. Their exciting presentation has inspired thousands of businessmen in every area of the U.S., and is certain to be of interest to building materials dealers. Other events include a field trip to several well equipped and effectively organized yards, a visit to a modern factory producing building materials, and live action demonstrations of materials handling operations.
Chairmen of the Exposition Committee meeting in Washington were: Robert J. McCutchan, General Committee Chairman; Deyo W. Johnson, Program Chairman; B. J. Stahlman, Materials Handling Chairman; and Roy G. Leitch, Jr., Attendance Chairman.
Other committee members, and those acting in an advisory capacity were: Theodore I. Hunsaker, William W. McCready, Edwin F. Sembell, R. C. Tylander, Oertell Collins, R. A. Schaub, Paul V. DeVille, W. B. Oldham, Leslie G. Everitt, John W. Dain, Robert L. Craft, Ross G. Kincaid, G. Kenneth Milliken, Horace G. Pierce, and rnembers of the NRLDA Washington Office.
and Hartke (D-Ind.), rvould in effect repeal a portion of the Transportation Act of 1958-now Section 15a(3) of the Interstate Commerce Act-whereby the Commission will not insist on the retention of a high rate level for one carrier to protect the traffic of another mode of transportatlon.
This legislation could well result in increased freight rates in the transport inclustry, at a time when many American industries, like the lumber field, are currently experiencing some very serious economic problems.
You may wish to communicate your views to your Senators concerning S. 1197, and similar measures. A responsible competitive transportation system is not only beneficial to the transportation industry, but is vitally important to the economic position of every American industry.

The third consumer advertisement in the National Wood Promotion Program's 1961 campaign-a campaign aimed at pre-selling Drospective home owners on a preference for wood-appeared in the April 2l issue of Life magazine.
A large, four-color picture sholving the many uses of wood in the bedroom-for furniture, flooring, walls, framing, windows, and partitions-dominates the full-page ad dramatized by the headline, "For solid comfort in your bedroom, there's nothing in the world like wood."
The copy block points out the ability of wood to fit any type of bedroom decor; its superior sound and heat-insulation qualities; its resilience, the many finishes available, and the ease with which storage space can be built into woodframed walls.
The NWPP program, sponsored by members of the 16 regional associations federated with the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, began two years ago. The 1961 campaign began with a two-page spread in the February 17 issue of Life. The April advertisement will be followed by four more, each demonstrating the advantages and applications of wood in a specific room of the house. Current lirculation of Life is 6.8 million and readership is estimated by the publisher to be 31 million per issue.

While hardwood plywood imports for March were up 39.1 per cent from February, on a surface measure square foot basis, on the same basis, March 1951 fell 17.9 per cent below March 1960, and the first quarter imports of 1961 were down 31.9 oer cent below the first three months of r9ffi.
Not yet reflecting the upturn in prices, the first quarter 1961 plywood imports were off a resounding 45.9 per cent -or 10.9 million dollars from the 23.9 million dollar imports for the same period of 1960.
All five of the leading hardwood plywood export countries showed gains in March over February (square footage), ranging from 158 per cent for Taiwan, 105 per cent for Canada, down to 27 per cent for Japan. However, only Taiwan showed gains, in comparisons of March this year, and for the first quarter of this year, as against like periods of 1960-all other leading countries falling below in these periods.
Softwood plywood imports for the first quarter 196I totaled L,988,457 square feet-or 0.98 per cent of total plywood imports, with Brazil and Mexico accounting for the bulk of this (84.4 per cent). None came from Japan.

The popular KVAL model 990R has been modified to a considerable extent to meet the demand for automatic equipment. The new Routing-Boring machine is now designated as KVAL model 990R8.
The drilling operations are accomplished by merely stepping on a foot switch. Bellows cylinders are used exclusively for this movement. Also, the motor size has been greatly increased-2 HP for the horizontal drill and 3 HP for the large bore drill.
In the forests of coastal British Columbia, the giant Red Cedar often survives centuries of time, wind and weather. Little wonder, then, that lumber cut from this naturally timeless wood will beautify and protect homes in the most severe climates for decades more.
Besides the drilling modification, Kvalheim Machinery has come up with a new approach to the hinge routers. These hinge mechanisms slide sideways in nylon bushings on a 71" ground steel shaft. The vertical movement now utilizes precision sealed V-ball bearings inagroundVtrack.
By this system, right and left-hand doors may be processed without extra effort. The mechanisms are merely slid on the lrl" shaft to a different stop limit engagement.
For further information, write or call Kvalheim Machinery Company, Petaluma, California.
A "Display Rack Package" permitting a wide variety of retail stores entry into the lucrative translucent fiberglass panel field for an investment of less than $200 has been created by Filon Plastics Corporation, Hawthorne, Calif.
The package was created to promote Rololite, a translucent, cross-corrugated, material in SO-foot roll form, according to A. M. Barr Sr., national sales manager.
Barr said the package contains:
1. Three rolls of Rololite, a quality panel with a wide variety of home, industrial and commercial applications, such as patio arrd carport roofs, fencing, awnings, skylights, sidelights, breezeways and canopres.
2, The lightweight, versatile rack, constructed of tubular steel, to hold the rolls. It's a compact unit requiring a minimum of store or porch space: 30" by 3U'.
3. A full-size awning kit, including brackets and a Rololite awning, for placement atop the rack as an eye-catching attraction.
4. A supply of illustrated brochures describing numerous installation possibilities.
"The 'Package' now makes it possible for retail outlets to capitalize on the growing demand for fiberglass reinforced plastic paneling without the necessity of devoting showroom or warehouse space to the material," Barr commented.
He added, "Rololite on display virtually sells itself. The full 50foot roll (,f0" wide) can be sold complete, or dealers easily can cut off a piece to the desired length with ordinary shears or saw."
The "Display Rack Package," shipped flat and fully-packaged, has illustrated instructions for assembly within minutes.
Rololite offers the user savings in installation and material costs, and is shatterproof and weather-resistant. The suggested retail prices range from 39c to 59c per square foot. Material is sold in seven colors, five and eight-ounce weights, and a standard 2rl-inch corrugation.
Additional details regarding the "Display Rack Package,' should be addressed "Package," Filon Plastics Corporation, 333 N. Van Ness Ave., Hawthorne, Calif.

'I\TEARLY 300 northern California lumbermen took the r \ gin fi..22 route (or reasonable facsimile of same) Saturday morning, the "morning after" the big Oakland Reveille at the Claremont Hotel on May 19. However, after the prescribed dosage of anti-knock, the rattles in the think machine subsided, furry tongues departed ar.rd most everyone agreed that the 29th Annual Reveille was, indeed, right up to par with the best of them.
Granted the weather certainly left much to be desired, the Annual Reveille Tournameni at the Mira Vista Country Club_ was a _big.success, especially in view of the blustery weather and drizzle which prevailed throughout the day. Some 68 t uldl souls participated in the" tourney, Bob Macfie and Jack Crane co-chairmanning that diviiion of the proceedings.
In the Dubs, Ltd., division (Dubs members combined their monthly tournament with the Reveille gang) the first three places in_ the first flight went to Wali Hjort, Ralph Bowman and Hugo Miller. Les Doddington, Bob Kilgore and Bob Macfie came in 7-2-3 in the iecond flight, 1nd John. Polach: Ed French and Bob Raymer equa-lled the feat in the third divrsron.
The first three positions in the Reveille Blind Bogey tournament went to Nifty Gay, Al Sobel and Keith David-

son, but Bill Bonnell walked away with the coveted perpetual trophy u'hich was formerly held by Jim McClintock.
Other prizes went to Bill Davidson (low gross), Bob Raymer (closest to hole-in-one) and Keitlt Davidson (longest drive).
The more energetic aspects of the Reveille day completed, the evening's hijinks got into high gear with a big no-host cocktail party at the Claremont where free flowing libations aided the cause of "Goodwill to A11." This happy interlucle was followed by a steak banquet in the Claremont's big ballroom, the president's welcome, golf awards by Nlacfie and Crane, and last but certainly not least-tl-re big 29th Reveille Revue produced by Bella Marcum of the Hardin Entertainment Agency.
In all, it was a grand production, and a big vote of thanks should go to Reveille chairman Ralph Hill and his cast of hard-working "characters" which included Macfie and Crane (Golf), Earle Bender (The Show), Jim Hendrick (Tickets), Frank Billings (Publicity), Charlie Beacom and Ralph Boshion (Finance), Frank Timmers, Jim Doherty, John Pearson and Vic Roth (Reception), Jim Doherty and Bill MacBeath (Reservations).

"How to Reduce Glare, Brightness and Solar Heat" is the title of a revised semitechnical folder prepared for architects, engineers and allied building planners by Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Company.
Within the attractive 6-page folder is containt:d data on the company's Parallel-OGrey and Heat Absorbing plate glasses at(d Heat Absorbing and Parallel-O-Grey Thermopane insulating glass.
Designed to serve as panel dividers, caps, and inside or outside corner shields, SHEETROCK Moldings come in 8-ft. lengths. Permanently bonded matching finishes add the final touch to paneling jobs by concealing cut wallboard edges.

As the booklet points out "daylight flooding through windows has a beneficial psychological effect on people who spend most of each day indoors. But direct or reflected rays of the sun can cause body discomfort, and materially increase air conditioning costs. So L-O-F developed Heat Absorbing plate glass and Parallel-O-Grey plate glass to help solve this problem."
Special sections deal concisely with uses, installation suggestions, maximum sizes, characteristics and suggested specifications on all three special glasses. In addition, heat and light transmission values are presented in a revised and more readily interpreted format.
Copies of the folder (A.I.A. File No. 26-A-9) are available through L-O-F distributors listed under "Glass" in the telephone book yellow pages, or from LibbeyOwens-Ford Glass ComPany.
IEtt THEM YOU SAW IT ADVERIISED IN THE CATIFORNIA TUMBER MERCHANT
As many readers know, Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo CIub No. 2 has given ialuable support, in money, time and interest to the LeRoy Boys' lfome, located in La Verne, California. We feel that they will be interested in reading excerpts from the recent "LeRoy $ewsletter"-and certainly they shoulh feel gratified witl-r the -work which their efforts help to continue.
"Dear Frierrds:
Therc are numerous pleasures and satisfactions in this boy business. I would like to share a few that we have experienced
recently.
About eighteen months ago, Robert carne to live with us at LeRoy Boys' Home. He was just a little fellow but with great big problems. He had been in and out of manv foster homes and had been described as unmanageable. We agreed! It took the orav_ ers, patience, understanding and love of "Aunt" Barbara and the cooperation of all the staff to get Robert to conform to the routine of daily, group living. His progress pleased us but as he became better ad- justed we became more convinced that his problems were not all emotional. We requested that he be re-examined at the Children's Hospital. The doctors who had examined him before recognized a tremen-

dous change in his behaviour. Now, because of his cooperation they were able to give accurate testing. It had been thought his problems were all emotional due to his verv chaotic early background. It has now beeir established he has approximately 48Vo hearing loss in both ears and is extremely far sighted. Well, Robert has his hearing aid! He is excited and we are all pleased. Now, he can hear conversation at the table, listen to the evening stories and bedtime prayers. In a few weeks, he will have his glasses and be able to see better as well as hear better. A whole new world is opening up for this boy. We are thrilled that LeRoy Boys'Home has had the opportunity of helping Robert through difficult times."
