Douglas Fir Plywood Association Seeking \(/est Coast 78 Cent Rate Ellective July 1 New Name For Plywood

Tacoma, Wash., July 2.-Realizing that the tern-r Wallboard is not sufficientlv spe'cific to be applied to Douglas fir plywood wallboard, the Douglas Fir Plywood Association of Tacoma, Washington, is offering a prize of $100.00 for the best suggestion in regard to a new trade name.

The material for which the new trade name is sought is an all-wood product made by gluing Douglas fir veneers together in large attractive panels 4 ft. x 8 ft. and larger. In the manufacture of these plywood wallboard panels, the veneers are selected and glued together so that one sicle of the panel will be suitable for any attractive wall finish and particularly adapted to painting.

Other important advantages of Douglas Fir Plywood wallboard are its rigidity, its ability to stay in place, its insulation value and the fact that it is made from solid wood.

The suggestions must be original and must not cover any trade-marked names or any names already in use for wallboard or similar products.

The contest ,closes at midnight Attgnst 1, 1936. The members of the Executive Committee of the Association will be the judges, assisted by such technical experts as may be called upon for the purpose.

The Interstate Commerce Commissipn has declined to suspend any part of the rate adjustment recently announced, and the new permanent rate on lumber shipped from the West Coast to territory east of Chicago to the Atlantic Coast is 78 cents. The new rate became effe'ctive July 1.

The new rate of 78 cents is 12 cents less than the 90 cent rate that prevailed until August 24, 1935, when rail carriers published a trial rate of 72 cents. 'Ihe rail rates from South' ern territory and other regions, whi'ch had been temporarily redu'ced, will be raised to their former level.
