(fM ME the man who is enthusiastic.

The man who fairly bubbles over with all-absorbing interest in what he is doing.

If I play with him he will not bore me. If I do business with him he will not fool me.

My brain will take new energy in keeping pace with him; the stimulus of his action will arouse the sluggish blood in my veins.

I can depend on him, for he knows not the meaning of procrastination, and scorns shirking. - He may make mistakes, bless him, who doesn't?-He's-got the vim, ind the punch, and the stuff life is made of, and-his mistakes are the mistakes of aggression' not of hesitation. Keep your brilliant men, your learned men, your wise men; give me the enthusiastic man, now and forever.

RUILDING MATERIALS for industrial and commercial r,l appliqnlions will occupy a goodly proportion of space at the Great Western Exhibit Center when the Western Building lndustries Exposition opens its 4-day run on October 7.

Recent sharp gains in industrial, commercial, and institutional construction-plus new records predicted for we-stern building this year-make the 1951 WBIE a major industry milestone, according to the show's backers, as the first trade show to include materials for non-residential as well as home building markets of the west. Says Warren Driver, Los Angeles building contractor and Chairman of the Council of sponsoring associations behind WBIE, "The

rapid pace of western growth makes it imperative that we have this efificient, three-dimensional means of communications here in our own market area to help us stay competitive in the nation's biggest, most diversified industry."

When General Frank J. Howley was diector of the office of military government for the American sector of Berlin, he was quoted as saying: "Russians are liars and swindlers. There is no truth in them, and the sooner we realize that fact, and accept it, the better off we will be. They believe that truth changes from day to day. For them there is no such thing as an eternal truth.' *

An American visitor in Germany asked a German how they distinguish between an optimist and a pessimist in that country now. "It's very simple," was the reply. "The optimists are learning English. The pessimists learn Russian."

The average girl would rather have beauty than brains, if it was a choice between the two, knowing that the average man can see much betterthan*he can think.

Napoleon used to say when asking about a new general"has he the luck?" He didn't mean was the man just lucky, but did he have that indefinable touch of genius to do the unexpected and the unpredictableat the critical moment.

A friend of mine comes up with a suggestion that he believes would settle the Berlin situation in a hurry. He wants to send General E,isenhower to E,urpoe as chief of all Nato forces, and General Douglas MacArthur to Russia as American Ambassador. He thinks that if the fat little peasant who controls Russia right nor,v were to take one look into the eyes of MacArthur it would cause him to shrink into his proper size at the contrast even he would understand. And that other mighty soldier at the head of Nato would bring fright to the small men facing him. Seems like quite an idea. Couldn't be arranged, of course, but wouldn't it be a pip?

Statistics are said to show that the American nation spends at least nine billions of dollars annually for intoxicating liquors. But if you want to keep your mental equilibrium don't try to figure the total cost of drinking and drunkenness in terms of crime, accident, and human suffering.

Honesty.is a relative quality. Your parents may have thought poker playing for money was wrong. Howev-er they probably c-quld no nothing to keep you from trying to fill a straight. What they were responsible for, how-evei, is how you. try to fill it-from the top or bottom of the deck. The apple never falls far from the tiee.

If you are inclined to wonder whether a story or joke is new or old, you might recall the opinion expressed by the great Doctor Johnson, of England, who said that "if a ltory is good, it is unlikely to be niw, and if it's new it's unlikely to be good."

The following story has appeared in this column before, but it seems that this might be a wise time to repeat it. In the middle of June, 1787, the Constitutional Convention had almost completely bogged down in the midst of its mighty deliberations. Confusion was general. So on the morning of June 16th, Benjamin Franklin addressed himself to George Washington as follows: "Mr. President, the small progress we have made after four or five weeks of close attention and continual reasoning with each other, is, methinks, a melancholy proof of the imperfection of human understanding. In this situation of this assembly, trying as it were in the dark to find political truth and scarce able to distinguish it when pesented to us, how has it happened, Sir, that we have not hitherto thought of applying humbly to the Father of Lights to improve our underst"ldt"**t ,(

"I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of the truth that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can arise without His aid? We have been assured. Sir. in the sacred writings that'except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain who build it' ; and I also believe that without His concurrent aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel. **{<

I beg leave to move that hereafter prayers, imploring the assistance of Heaven and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this assembly every morning before we proceed to business." The motion carried.

Strait Door & Plywood Corporation in Expansioll - lmports New Machinery fo Produce Spiral Core Doors

A NNOUNCEMENT was made last month by Chas. E. A. $trai1, president of the Strait Door & Plywood Corporation, El Monte, California, that his firm has secured exclusive manufacturing franchises from the F. G. Konstandt Co., Hamburg, Germany, to produce the brand new Spiral

Core door for the western trade. The new machinery has been installed and is presently turning out an average of 800 doors per shift. The new unit is geared to produce six doors per minute and this schedule will be reached later this fall, it was said.

Right: onother view of the four-wcy hof press, qnd Chcrlie Strcit.

The modern plant of Strait Door & Plywood was established in 1956 in the heart of the eastside manufacturing district. During its fledgling years a steady growth has been enjoyed. The first year 141,368 doors were produced; 1957 this figure was doubled and during the 1958, 1959 and 1960 more than a million five hundred thousand Strait doors reached the southwestern consumer.

Million Door Mark in Sight

"This year we will exceed 600,000 doors and during 1962 expect to top the million mark," said president Charles E. Strait.

The new Spiral Core machine produces wood spirals that form the core of the modern Strait Flush Doors. This new core has many salient features of which one is to eliminate completely the telegraphing of ribs even if doors are coated with a high gloss finish. The use of spiral core requires the back of the plywood doorskins to be coated with glue, thereby sealing the inside of each and every door, a desired feature where there are extreme weather changes. All doors are structurally better under this new production system.

QUIIE A RANGE.O'

WIIH HOBBS WAIL REDWOOD

"During our years of expansion we have added new units of machinery to keep abreast of the ever-changing conditions on our manufacturing and distributing business," said Mr. Strait. "Our new hot press is really four presses in one. This revolving unit enables the doors cold pressed to stay under pressure four times longer than the average single press usually permits. This gives a better glue bond and therefore a better quality door," he continued.

Automation is Key Word

"In our modern plant we have more than 20 units of door production machinery in use daily. Automation is our key word in order to save labor, time and money for the consumer. These new units are iust an addition to our Mereen Johnson double-end door irimmer which turns out the smoothest doors in the west," said Mr. Strait.

For the past 12 years Charlie Strait has been identified in the production of Flush Doors in Southern California. "We will not sacrifice quality for price and we shall always put more into our doors than is required to meet standards and all we ask our customers to do is examine our doors. They will then see what we mean when we say our product speaks for itself," he said.

During the past five years Strait Door & Plywood Corporation has grown from a two building plant to a ten building area, covering more than eight acres, adjacent to both the Santa Ana and San Bernardino freeways assuring fast deliverv to all southland cities.

IMBC is one of the leading manufacturers of redwood products in the western United States and has been serving the dealers and industrial users of fine redwood for more than two decades. The progressive firm has distributors in every major city throughout the United States and its remanufacturing plant covers more than forty acres in the Torrance, Califonia area.

Housing ouflook ls Good, FHA Official Reports to Oak Ffooring Producers

THE HOUSING industry outlook is good, FHA Deputy I Administrator 1. R. iasfr, Jr., toli the mid-suni*.t meeting of the National Oak Flooring Manufacturers' Association, in Memphis, Tenn.

"The general economy shows a trend toward improve- ment," he said. "More money is available for moitgage loans. The volume of FHA mortgage insurance applications has been rising. With passage of the Administration's housing bill, which is expected shortly, we can look for a noticeable increase in home building."

In the only officer election at the session W. R. Warner of Bradley-Southern Division, Potlatch Forests, Inc., Warren, Ark., was named vice president. He succeeds H. S. Mesereau, Crossett Lumber Co., Crossett, Ark. President James R. May presided. IIe is executive vice president of Veach-May-Wison, Inc., Alcoa, Tenn.

Dr. Wayland A. Tonning of Memphis State lJniversity, speaking on "What Has Happened to Salesmanship," declared that many sales are lost because of indifference of the salesman and of sales calls on the wrong persons.

Harvey Creech, chairman of the NOFMA iesearch committee, reported that encouraging progress was being made in the association's research project designed to find speedier and more economical means of installing strip oak floors on concrete slab foundations.

A preview of the association's 1962 advertising insertions in consumer and trade publications was presented by Hol-

ton Rush of Greenshaw & Rush, Inc., Memphis.

Other speakers included George M. Fulier, Washington repres-entative of NOFMA, who discussed pending legisla- tion affecting the housing industry.

Cash declired that a irotrg demand for oak flooring can be expected in the years ahead from modernization aJwell as from an increase in the volume of new construction.

He cited Bureau of Census reports which show that 27 per cent of the nation's housing inventory is in sub-standard condition.

"About three-fourths of these sub-standard dwellings," he pointed out, "are worth preserving and can be reha6ilitated. These findings indicate that there is likely to be a significant shift in the areas of construction activity."

Emphasizing the need for urban renewal, he declired that the residential construction industry must be geared to serve selected housing markets in certain places and at certain times, and added:

"We must concentrate on less expensive homes-homes that will be cheaper to buy but not cheap in quality. Many builders are already producing such homes. Not only thatthey are also adding extras to these homes without boosting the price to the consumer.

"I am convinced that the recent credit-easing actions taken by President Kennedy will have a far-reaching effect upon the housing market as a whole, and will facilitate urban renewal,"

\,VESTERN RED GEDAR

tr'rom the vast rain forests of coastal British Columbia comes Western Red Cedar - the wood with "built-in" weather resistance. 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.

Dr. Tonning said a recent study disclosed that 68 of every 100 lost orders were attributable to indifference on the part of the salesmen.

Another study, he said, revealed that of 102,000 sales presentations, 64 per cent were made to the wrong men.

"fn most fi.rms," he pointed out, "the,authority to buy is vested in a relatively few people. When & per cent of the calls in such a large sampling are being made on the wrong men, certainly the salesmen are plainly not doing enough investigation work before contacting the firm."

NOFMA's 96 member companies account for about 76 per cent of the hardwood flooring industry's productive capacity.

John Hollinon Addresses tlleel

John Hallinan, Portland, Oregon, lumber manufacturer and marketer (wholesaler) who has been waging a vigorous campaign for "Modern Merchandising" of wood products, was invited by the National Retail Lumber Dealers Assn. to air his views before a joint materials handling committee composed of lumber manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers at a meeting held in Washington, D. C., August 21, under NRLDA sponsorship.

Hallinan has received considerable attention throughout the lumber industry in recent months when he converted his North Plains, Ore. mill to IOO/o unitization, began marketing lumber in "Strappack" and "Bagpack" units, and began shipping NRLDA approved units of lumber in stakeless "floating" flatcar loads.

Another recent Hallinan enterprise that has drawn much interest is "Shakepack," unitized shipments of Red Cedar shakes, a project worked out in cooperation with Jim Jackson, Jackson Shake Co., Moclips, Wash.

On his trip East to attend the committee meeting, Hallinan made calls on officials of the Association of American Railroads, steel strapping and projective paper wrap firms as well as visiting retail lumber yards currently handling his "Strappack" and "Bagpack" products, in an effort to present a clear picture of problems and their solutions at the meeting.

"These days we hear a lot about automation for factories," Hallinan said at the meeting, "Now let's apply these principles to retail yards, to make better use of employees' time, cut down labor costs, and effect other savings."

"We must study industry problems and seek advanced ways of making lumber more profitable to the yard, and on the consumer level, we must make every effort to show that lumber is more advantageous than the so-called 'competitive substitutes.'"

Announcement has been made that James E. Nolan is the new secretary-manag'er of National Woodwork Manufacturers Association, Inc. The association of wood window, door and frame manufacturers maintain headauarters at 332 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago.

Because of space limitations the dinner and evening session will be limited to 300 persons, but the morning and afternoon sessions will be able to accommodate more than twice that number. Bleacher type seats have been arranged so that all will have a clear view. Two-way public address systems have been arranged and each session will include a question and answer period.

"We believe the grading school, the first such to our knowledge ever held in this area, is completely in keeping with the purposes of the Society to serve the Wood Products industrv." Hay explained.

"We have no thought that a short course such as this will produce trained lumber graders, but we believe it will present a good, working knowledge of grade and specie differences of inestimable value to those who attend.

"We sincerely hope that just as many persons as possible among the very many involved with lumber-buying, selling, using or designing-in Southern California will take advantage of this program."

ln Correction

Last month, when you read the advertisement of ljnion Lumber Company, "Increase Sales with Noyo Redwood," you may have noted that one of the company's addresses was given as Park Ridgc, Illinois. Well, Union Lumber moved its Illinois kit and kaboodle from Park Ridge to Chicago some time ago, but it seems the address in our ad was never changed.

Thus, when you of the Midwest want to increase sales by featuring Noyo Redwoods, be sure that you write or call lJnion Lumber Company in Chicago.

Incidentally, have you noticed the legend that appears on all Union Lumber ads-"Tree Farrners and Manufacturers" ? Wise psychology and salesmanship, that, emphasizing that not only do they manufacture lumber but they tree farm as well

Amfac - and Hawaii

by OtE MAY

,,sr/ ?*1?,I*5,'"T3; #'j

":'.T: said Robert H. "Bob" Lawder, manager of the lumber division, American Factors, Ltd., Honolulu, Hawaii, when we visited the plant of this pioneer firm recently.

In other words, the study of components is high on the list of Amfac's policy for future development and service to the Hawaiian building expansion which is rushing along at unprecedented speed.

"We are studying the complete picture from the tree to the log to the uses of odds and ends, and hope to come up with a pretty good anslver which will guide us in formulating future distribution policy," Lawder continued.

American Factors is one df the leading merchandising businesses in the 50th state. A oioneer wholesale lumber firm in the Islrands, Amfac furnishes all species of domestic and imported hardwoods and softwoods for every purpose, along with flooring, closet lining, hardwood and softwood plywoods, sash, doors, shingles, shakes and many other miscellaneous items for the retailer and industrial user.

This progressive lumber division enjoys gross sales in the neighborhood of the $10 million area, and operates branch distribution yards in Hilo, Kona and Kauai.

"Although business has been a little slower this year in relation to that of 19ffi," Mr Lawder said, "we are optin-ristic for the future progress of our

new state, and feel that we shall show a steady growth, rather than a boom and bust."

The sales department is in the capable hands of manager Clarke I. Mizumoto, who has been identified in the procurement, sales and shipment of wood products since graduating from school. He is on the phone from early morning until late evening checking the supply and demand, making sure that Amfac is alert to the needs of its customers.

It requires the services of more than 100 employees at the plant, located on Nimitz Highway, to keep the orders flowing and the wheels of progress turning, including the 16 units of remanufacturing equipment in the modern mill.

This one of the finest, cleanest mills we have ever seen, geared to turn out any item to satisfy customer demand.

Over Ten-Acre Plant

The plant covers ten and one-half acres in the center of the ever-expanding industrial area in Honolulu. Well kept storage sheds house the dty stock, and inventory is stacked as far as the eye can see in the clean, attractive vard. Thirtv-six units of mobile equipment, including trucks, are required to keep material moving into and out of the plant and on its way to the builder and user.

The operation is close to docking facilities for incoming cargo on Sand Island. The graders and order clerks work in a cool under-cover area adjacent to the mill while preparing short orders for fast delivery.

"Ours is the finest equipped mill in the 50th state," said Mr. Mizumoto. "The lumber division is an integral part of American Factors' organiza- tion, which is worldwide in scope. Every employee has a competitive spirit which spurs him to vigorously

American Factors does this superlatively well, in one of the finest set-ups we have ever seen.

An lllustrious Coreer In Lumber

A few months back while doing a little "upside down reading," we happened upon a Henry M. Hink invoice on a retailer's desk which stated modestly at the bottom : "Over 50 years in Redwood." Now this is-a long time in any business-much less confined to just one specie . Sequoia Sempervirens.

Delving a bit further into veteran lumberman Hink's most successful past we find that he's not only logged 5l years in the redwood business-but he's done it at the same address, the Merchants Exchange Building, 465 California Street, in the heart of San Francisco's financial district.

Born in San Francisco, young Hink returned to Germany with his mother after his father's death and received his early education there. But Hink had seen enough of San Francisco during his early years and he was "hooked" like any true native San Franciscan. He returned to San Francisco shortly before the '06 quake and fire and was in Berkeley when the disaster struck.

Hink still recalls "jumping" a ferry at Berkeley (no civilian movement was allowed following the quake as the entire area was under military control), hiding in a life boat until the ferry docked at San Francisco, and then spending a day searching the ruins for his mother. Happily, he found her safe and sound with relatives who livecl beyond the fire belt.

In the next few years that follorved, young Hink tried his hand in the "publishing business" as a newsboy. But in 1910, Hink began a 5l year association with redwood when he ioined the old Dolbeer Carson Lumber Comoanv as an offiie boy in the firm's Merchants Exchange Buildirig heacl office. Young Hink, incidentally, replaced another yourlg cl-rap, Peter B. Kyne, who was later to become famous as tl're author of "Cappy Ricks."

From then on, it was the traditional long l.raul to the top, from office boy to president of the company, a route, unfortunately, not altogether too popular these days.

Mr. Hink, a vice-president of Dolbeer Carson at the time, became president and general manager of the venerable redwood concern following the death of J. M. Carson in 1940. He continued at th.e helm of Dolbeer Carson until December 15, 1950, when he announced the sale of the company to The Pacific Lumber Company in the pages of The California Lumber Merchant thusly:

"A. S. Murphy, president, announced today that The Pacific Lumber Company has purchased the timber holdings, plant, inventory, and other important assets from the ir-rdividual parters of Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Cornpany. Tl-re Eureka Plant lvill operate under the general supervision of G. J. \fanary, manag'er, Scotia." Mr. Hink was the third president of Dolbeer & Carson in its 87 years o{ existence.

But 41 years of redrvood was just a starter for Henry.

Shortly after the Dolbeer & Carson sale, he opened his own r.vholesale offices in the Merchants Exchange Building representing the Carl Diebold Lumber Co. of Arcata. And that's where you'll find him today-Room 11O7-still selling quality band-sawn Diebold redwood to his old customers and friends.

American Forest Products Industries, Inc., national sponsor of the Tree Farm Program, reports that, as of August 1, there were 20,903 tree farms in the United States, comprising 56,036,422 acres of privately-owned forestland. Figures for August, l, 1960, were 18,237 tree farms and 53,254,769 acres of privately-owned forestlands.

Hoo-Hoo's 7()th Annuol Convention h Miomi, September l7-20ht

A House Moves "Piggyback" 3,OOO Miles to Find New Home on Lake in Kentucky

To Charles Rohmann family of Louisville, Kentucky, living has become suddenly and wonderfully comple* with a home in the city and another one-which they won in a national contest-on a lake.

The vacation home they won came all the way from Lynnwood, Washington, #here it was constructed by Panelbild Systems, fnc., a subsidiary of United States Plywood Corp. The house was shipped by rail "piggyback" to Chicago, then over the highway to Rough River reservoir, some 75 miles southwest of Louisville, near Leitchfield.

The home was presented to the Rohmanns upon its completion by L. B. Olmsted, U. S. Plywood vice president in Louisville on the twelfth birthday (July 14, 1961) of the Rohmann's daughter Donna. Coincidentally, the Rohmanns originally had been notified on their twelfth wedding anniversary, August 3, l9@, that they had won top prize in the Weldwood Vacation Time promotion in which more than 1,000 U. S. Plywood dealers participated.

"Number 12 sure has turned out to be our lucky number," said "Bud" Rohmann, 34-year-old photoengraving plant manager in Louisville. His entry was drawn from more than 275,OOO submitted all over the country.

The Rohmanns had a year in which to select a site anywhere in the continental limits of the United States. But "Bud" and his family decided there was no place like Kentucky for a vacation retreat.

^ T-ouring the Bluegrass from one end to the other, they finally settled _on Timbercrest, a development along thi newly-created Rough River reservoir, and picked a heavily wooded site sloping steeply to the water's'edge. The Rohmann's prize, worth $10,000, included price of the site and clearing and preparing the lot. The family lives in a ranchstyle home built only 18 months ago and Bud's attractive wife, Norma, admits she sometimes has the "shivers" about keeping both places going.

"But this new cottage on the lake looks so easy to keep that I don't think it will take us very long to leain how t-o care for both houses, it's a dream," says Norma. "We're so plo.lrd of our Weldwood vacation home that it will be a good while before we get all our friends and relatives oui for visits."

Louisville builder, Keith Breitenstein, assembled the house. He is a director of Associated Home Builders of Louisville and a member of National Associated Home Builders. Erecting the Panelbild-designed vacation cottage was 'something like putting a simple puzzle together, it ill just fell into place," he declared. -

The cottage is of contemporary design, 24 x 24 feet with an unusual "flying deck" along one side and across the end overlooking th,e lake. It has two bedrooms; a large living room with a Cavalier uni-bilt fireplace, a compact range-, sink and refrigerator unit; bathroom with Ascotlnstantaneous water heater, Skipper shower cabinet and AmericanStandard-fixtures; Plugmold electrical multiple outlet sys- tem; a Van-Packer tile-lined chimmey. and 1ll floors covered with Excelon vinyl asbestos floor-tile. The materials of the house are pre-cut from Douglas fir plywood with interloc-king panels. The Rohmanns chose a pale, cottage-green paint for the exterior.

It was a little over a year ago that Rohmann entered the vacation Weldwood contest while making a purchase at Boland-Maloney Lumber Co., U. S. Ply-wood dealer in Louisville.

Sonlo Fe Lumber Hits The Ooklond Troil

Plans Finished for Fiffh College Model Home

Plans are complete and construction began in September on Los Angeles Trade-Technical College's fifth all-student built model home, according to an announcement by college officials recently.

Designs for the home were drawn by architectural drafting students Ronald Francis and Frank Mead during the college's summer session.

"It's something different, a home that combines an indoor-outdoor feeling in a formal atmosphere," said Kenneth L. Hunt, coordinator of the college's architectural and mechanical drafting department.

Covering 1,497 square feet of space, the largest allstudent-built dwelling to date, the home will have three bedrooms, two baths, a combination dining and entry area, living room, all-gas kitchen, and all-purpose family room.

One of the entirely different features of the home will be the separation of the living room from the rest of the house by means of a floating deck floor in the combination diningentry room and a lattice work screen that will shield the dining-entry and living rooms from the rest of the house.

A pool running partially underneath the deck and a sky- light over it will give the entry-dining area a feeling of coolness and spaciousness while still maintaining the indoor-outdoor atmosDhere.

In the living .oorir,a sheet metal free-form fire place, thc first one designed for any of the college's homes, ancl hearth to ceiling windows on either side of it will also help give this room the outdoor-indoor feeling.

In addition, an atmosphere of isolation has been created in the designs for the living room so that it will impart the aura of being used exclusively for entertaining guests, while

the other rooms privacy.

Another first for

is the inclusion of drawings for a car port that will lead directly off of the front entry. This is the first time the college has included plans for any type of garage along with the designs for the home in its planning

Construction on the dwelling will begin in the middle of September by approxim ately 520 studeirts in the construction trade classes taught at the college.

Involved will be students from carpentry, cabinet making, plastering, bricklaying, sheet metal, air conditioning engineering, painting, electrical wiring, lathing, paper hinging, glaz:ng, tile setting, and floor covering classes.

"The purpose in designing and constiucting a model home each year, for the past five years, on the Tradt-Tech campus is to give the students in the various trades who participlte in the Construction of the home the actual opportunity to gain practical experience in working in their- irades while they are in school," said F. Parker Wilber, president of the college.

After the home is completely built and decorated in May,

it will be opened for public inspection from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and 5 :30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. during the week. On weekends the home may be viewed between I p.m. and 4:30 p.m.

During the middle of June, the house will be sold to the highest bidder, using a sealed bid form, at an auction ifl front of the home. Bid forms will be available to those touring the home; at the college's Business Office, 4O0 West Washington Blvd., Building A, Room 107, or at the Business Division of the Los Angeles Board of Education, 1425 South San Pedro Street. Room 101.

Bid forms will also be mailed if requested.

In addition to purchasing the structure itself, the home's owners will also be able to obtain many of the built-in extra features at no extra cost.

Living ond Thinking

It is more difficult to live on the level than it is to think on the level. In your mind you may have a pack of splendid ideals. You may admire fine actions, and abhor the other sort. But when it comes to putting these thoughts into practice, that is something else again. But it is better to think good and do bad, than to think bad and do bad also. We're not altogether sure that it isn't better than it is to think bad and do good. That marks either a coward or a hypocrite. But if you really think right, a lot of your thinking is bound to crop out in your actions. Keep the old brain on the decent track and it's apt to pull the rest of you along with it.

Sometimes I get up in the morn, Wishing I was never born; Make of cross remarks a few, Then my family wish, too, That I'd gone some other place, 'Stead of showing them my face. But just let me change my tune, Sing and smile, and pretty soon Folks around me sing and smile; Sure, it's catching, all the while. Yes, it's funny, but it's true, Folks you like will sure like you. ***

Good Old Julie

Julius Caesar and his friend Cassius were walking in the Roman forum one day, when they met a couple of pretty girls. Julius, as was his wont, gave them a glad hello as he passed them.

"Who was the gals ?" asked Cassius.

"I don't know," replied Julius, "but I'm forum."

One more on Julius, and we'll quit: One day Brutus asked the question, "How many eggs did you have for beakfasi, Caesar ?"

lle answered with these famous words: "Et tu. Brutus."

A Three-Toed Tree Tood's Ode

A tree toad loved a she toad

That lived in a tree.

She was a 3-toed tree toad, But a 2-toed toad was he. The 2-toed tree toad tried to win

The she toad's friendly nod: For the Z-toed tree toad loved the ground

That the 3-toed tree toad trod.

But vainly the 2-toed tree toad tried- lle couldn't please her whim, In her tree toad bower, with her V-toed power, The she toad vetoed him.

A Smile

Nothing on earth can smile, but man.

Gems may flash reflected light, but what is a diamond flash compared with an eye's flash, a flash of mirth?

Flowers cannot smile. This is a charm that even they cannot claim. It is the prerogative of man. It is the color which love wears, and cheerfulness, and joy-these three.

It is the light in the windows of the face by which the heart signals that it is at home and waiting.

A face that cannot smile is like a bud tha[ cannot blossom, and dries rip on the stalk.

Laughter is day, sobriety is night, and a smile is the twilight-that hovers gently between both-more bewitching than either.

Particle Bosrd Mill For Southern Coliforniq

Personal Property Leasing Company has concluded financial arrangements to locate the first particle board mill in the Southern California area, President Theodore O. McClurg has announced.

Approximately $2 million is involved in the transaction in which Personal Property Leasing purchased all equipment of Haskins Wood Products, of Swisshome, Oregon, and leased the equipment to Big Bear Board Products, Inc., who is moving the entire mill to Redlands, California, Personal Property l,easing will also purchase additional equipment for Big Bear Board on a leaseback basis. Big Bear Board holds a 78-month lease from Personal Property Leasing, who owns all the assets.

The mill will be reconstructed adjacent to the Big Bear Timber Co., the only lumber mill in Southern CaliforniaMr. David Rogers, president of Big Bear Board Products, Inc., stated that the move was prompted by the savings in freight rates and low raw material costs that Big Bear Board would enjoy in its new location. The mill's primary market has been Southern California, he said, and the proximity of Big Bear Timber Co. rvill allow Big Bear Board to advantageously use the more than 100 tons per day of shavings and sawdust that the lumber mill is prtsently burning. The efficiencies to be derived from the new location should expand the company's market considerably, he added, noting that the nearest competitive particle boaid mill is in Northern California.

Big Bear Board will manufacture pressed, flaked and high density board and rvill be managed by Columbia Engineering Co., who has a three-year management contract.

-!ig Be-a1 Board is_ expected to be in production by the middle of January, 1962, and should employ approximately 50 to 55 people on a three-shift basis. -Prirduction is estimated at 20 to 25 million square feet a year.

Fairhurst Purchases Fortuna Sawmill

EAIRHURST LUMBER Company, pioneer of Northern I' California's Douglas fir production, has purchased the former Hansen Pacific sawmill properties in Fortuna, California, it has been announced by Jack Fairhurst, president.

"In spite of existing market conditions we have every confidence in the future strength of the industry and the growth of the community. It is our hope that the resumption of operations in Fortuna will contribute to the greater stabilization and economic benefit of the southern Humboldt community," Fairhurst stated.

The Fortuna sawmill has been inoperative since its shutdown in July, 1960.

Fairhurst, it is reported, was the first Douglas fir operator to come to Humboldt County and successfully convert Douglas fir there into a saleable and acceptable product. Fairhurst established the first tie and stud mill there. and was the first to produce and sell Douglas fir cross-arms, studs, ties and to export Douglas fir in quantity from Humboldt Bay.

The firm will start at once to cold deck logs at the mill for winter operations and plans to start logging some of its timber immediately. A substantial log supply will be bought on the open market to insure a full winter's operation. Price lists are being mailed to all loggers throughout Northern California. First logs were received on August 21.

The sawmill will probably commence operations on a two-shift basis in October. In the meantime applications for employment are being received at the company office located at the sawmill site. Former employees and local residents are being given first consideration.

It is expected that the company will employ approximately 160 people on its direct payroll and will create in-

direct employment for approximately 500 more.

Fairhuist will move its general offices from Eureka to Fortuna. Its wholesale lumber, timber and other activities will be centralized in the Fortuna office.

The Fortuna sawmill is one of the most modern and efficient in California, with a daily capacity of 150,000 feet per shift. It was constructed in 1947 by Clarence McCready and Son. Hansen Pacific purchased the Property from McCready in 1952 and completed construction and improvements in 196O.

The outstanding feature of the Fortuna mill is its capacity to cut timbers an-d lumber, both Douglas fir and redwood, up to 60 feet long.

"We hope to capitalize on this feature as there is a steady demand for this unusual type of cutting," Fairhurst stated. It is said that there are few mills left on the Pacific Coast with capacity to cut longer than 40 feet.

The Fairhurst Lumber Company was organized 42 yearc ago in Tacoma, Washington, and in th_e ensuing yea.rs has c6nducted successful operations in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and California. It has been prominent in both the domestic and export lumber markets.

In addition to the Fortuna mill, Fairhurst operates a modern 100,000 capacity stud mill at Athena, Oregon,, and conducts its Oregon wiolesale operations from the Athena ofifice.

The offices of Fairhurst Lumber Company are: Jack Fairhurst, president; Stanley Fairhurst, vice president;^a1.d K. W. Blanchard, secretary. Harold Bratten Fortuna, California will act in an executive position with the company as plant manag'er.

'Aye, There's No Rub'Soys Firm About New Wood Seqler-Finish

Brush on, Wipe off Treatment Duplicates

Laborious, Hand-rubbed Danish Effect

U. S. Plywood Researchers Assert

A new, versatile liquid that promises the hobbyist or homeowner a Danish-type "hand rubbed" finish on hardwood and soft withouf laborious rubbing is now on the store shelves.

Un_ited States Plywood's research headquarters at Brewster, New York, after prolonged testing of the new formulation, reports that it not only acts as a wood sealer but when applied in the ordinary fashion, then wiped with a cloth, it imparts to fine hardwoods a fashionible and durable Danish-type finish, heretofore possible only with numerous coats of linseed oil and hours of elbow grease.

Its penetration below the wood's surface not only sets up scratch-resistance, but gives deep protection against water rings and other household stains.

The new formula, marketed by U. S. Plywood as Weldwood Deep Finish Firzite, is also an ideal floor sealer-andfinish combined in one product, according to the company. It hardens the fibers for greater wear and at the same time produces a low-luster effect that can be heightened, if desired, by wax.

The new all-purpose sealer-finish is recommended for priming.soft- or hardwoods before painting in that its pene- tration into the pores smooths the surfaCe and eliminates wild grain show-through.

Instruction on the label suggest a liberal flow-on, wipe- off technique, drying overnight and then repeating ihe opera-tion to achieve a finish that is virtually indistinguishable from a 2}-coat, linseed oil hand-rubbed iob.

Plywood bank and single sheet handling are simple operations when J-F "end loader PlyRacks" are in your warehouse. Practical design and "stand up" structural steel construction (in 8', 70' and12'heights) gives you custom quality and complete utility at a truly reasonable price.

Let Johnson-Flaherty show you how to accommodate as many as 220 different types of plywood in just 100 linear feet.

Retail price at hardware and paint stores as well as at lumber yards is $1.95 a quart;the product is also available in pints and gallons.

There are additional details on its use-as well as on use of other Weldwood finishes-in a new "Professional Gluing and Wood Finishing Guide" available at dealers, or by writing for a copy, to U. S. Plywood, Dept. PR, 55 West 44th Street. New York 36. N. Y.

Women in Construction Week

The week of September 10-16 was proclaimed by Los Angeles' Mayor Yorty to be "Women in Construction Week," lauding the part women play in advancing the interests of the construction industry which accounts for over lA/o of the national gross product.

Founded in Fort Worth in 1953, the National Association of Women in Construction now has 55 chapters in 15 states.

At the July 18 meeting of the Los Angeles chapter, the founding officers were re-elected for another term: president, Edith Swinton, secretary-treasurer of Daniel C. Hay, Inc., contract builders' hardware, Beverly Hills; vice president, Dorothy O'Connor, editor of the Engineering News Dept. of the Southwest Builder and Contractor's D'aily Construction Reports; treasurer, Marjorie Dermedy, secretary to Ernst Maag, principal structural engineer of the Division of Architecture, School Section; recording secretary and public relations chairman, Florence Barbour, office manager of Wiltse & Company, advertising and public relations counselors for building material companies and the Structural Engineers Assn. of Southern California; corresponding secretary, Margaret Anderson, executive secretary, Hay Agency (Stanley automatic doors), Beverly Hills.

The Los Angeles Chapter is in the midst of a membership drive. Anyone interested in joining should contact membership chairman, Grace Scheible, at W. J. Shirley, Jr., 880 E. Colorado St., Pasadena, MUrray l-6956.

Western Pine region forests usually contain trees of all ages. Harvesting is done mostly by the individual tree selection method, a system designed to remove the mature and overmature trees onlv.

Adiustable self locking "steps" are held securely by gravity tension supporting and separating plywood stacks or other material as deep and as high as desired.

"Wqr Tolk" Hos Minor Effect on Home Buying

"War talk" has had relatively little influence on home buying in California, according to a survey of some 423 recent home buyers and serious shoppers conducted by L. C. Major & Associates, nation's largest community co-ordinators and housing designers.

Of some 217 persons who have bought homes in the past two months, the decision of 44 per cent was "not affected at all" by war talk and another 44 per cent "took just a little longer," Sanford R. Goodkin, market research consultant of the firm, reported today.

"Only 12 per ceni said they 'almost changed plans," Goodkin noted.

Among the shoppers who are seriously looking for a new home, 76 per cent still plan to buy immediately, 11 per cent intend to wait until the crisis is resolved and 13 per cent admitted they were totally undecided because of international tensions, the Major & Associates survey revealed.

"Generally, the older people interviewed-perhaps because they are more conditioned to crises-seemed more willing to make long-term commitments, while younger persons were more uncertain," Goodkin said.

He added that one significant attitude revealed by the survey-conducted in Sacramento, Los Angeles, Ventura and Orange County was:

"Why should war talk affect my plans ? If a nuclear war cornes, chances are neither buyer or seller is going to have to worry about payments."

lfighlighrs of U.5. Plywood's Ann.uql Report

A close look at something other than the profit and loss columns of annual reports can be revealing.

United States Plywood's report for the year ended last April 30 has just been released and contains a number of items worth

noting.

The drop in per share earnings from $5.10 the previous year to $2.55, reflects the full effect of a business recession that unhappily coincided almost exactly with the company's fiscal year-May 1, 1960, through April 30, 1961. Nevertheless, the company's strong financial position enabled payment of the regular $2.00 dividend.

Those interested in other figures will observe that despite the temporary setback in sales and earnings from the preceding record year, stockholder equity in the giant building materials concern increased to $44.48 a share; five years ago it was $35.41.

The firm's unique chain of wholesale distribution centers grew, in the same period, from 97 combination warehouse-display rooms to 145 covering all major trading areas in the United States and Canada; inventory of the company's broad product line maintained at these centers for quick customer service is reported this year at $34 million.

As a result of the company's recent acquisition of Western Plywood Company, Ltd., in Canada, ownership or control of timber has risen from last year's 4.5 billion board feet to 7.5 billion.

For those who read carefully, the report contains news not previously released:

-Berkeley Plywood and Panelbild, Inc., component manufacturers acquired by the company last year, now become Weldwood Structures Division, with a sales office in Phoenix, Arizona, added to manufacturing and sales facilities in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. The component business, says the report, "exceeded expectations" and plans are announced for a plant in the Northeast.

-Manufacturing facilities for Kalistrorr, U. S. Plywood's vinyl plastic upholstery and wall covering material, were moved during the year from New York to Louisville, Kentucky, where the company's Flexible Materials Division is headquartered.

Longtime Sqn Frqncisco Retqil Firm Plqns Yeqr.End Close

After more than 60 years of doing business "at the same old stand," Leonard Lumber Co., 1855 - 15th Street, San Francisco, will retire from the business by the end of this year. The venerable retail concern has long been noted for high quality merchandise, integrity and fair dealings with customers and suppliers alike.

"It's kinda'hard to believe that George (Bruns) and I are going to shut the door for good one of these days soon," owner Earl Leonard recently confided, "but the City has bought the property and at my age (a very young 66 years) I think I'll try a little of this "retirement" I've been hearing about." George Bruns, who has been connected with Leonard Lumber Company since 1919, nodded in complete ag'reement.

fire, but was quickly rebuilt and played a big part in helping San Francisco-and the new Mission District in particular-rise anew from the ashes.

Dealer Leonard and his sidekick George Bruns both served with Uncle Sam's Army during the first war, and both came into the firm during 1919. Prior to WWI, George worked with the old Acme Lumber Company and later with Hooper Lumber Company in San Francisco (the mention of these firms will only stir a vague memory in the minds of a few of our old time readers).

Earl got in his beginning licks in the business delivering lumber for the yard. In those days his delivery rig burned high-test oats and hay and Earl had never even heard of the Teamsters lJnion, much less overtime pay, paid coffee breaks, paid holidays and vacations, etc.

We, the stafr of THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT, join dealers Earl and George's countless friends in wishing them many years of relaxation and l-rappiness ahead. After nearly a hall century of guiding Leonard Lumber dorvn the "straight and narrow," and abiding by the Golden Rule regardless of the many upheavals this industry has experienced, they most certainly deserve it.

If you need a panel of fir plywood a mile or two long and 10 feet wide you can buy it-if you can figure a way to get it from the mill to your job site.

Six major manufacturers have announced availability of panels 8 feet or more wide and "any reasonable length" in most instances, although two of the six prefer to limit length to 24 to 50 feet.

Panels wider than 5 feet are scarfed along the grain.

In most cases panels can be supplied in any grade, although sizes of sanding equipment limit some of the six.

I have never found man, woman, or dictaphone who could get to first base with me, either fancy or catch-as-catch-can.

H & R Enterprizes will market a revolutionary 4-unit safety razor plane. Designed for either the professional or amateur carpenter, it converts any double.edged safety razor blade into 4 different types of planes -a curved plane, a short-armed plane, a short-nosed plane, and a regular plane. Although it does not replace the standard carpenter planer, in many instances it is simpler and more efficient to use than the larger tools. It is expected to be of great help to the hobbyist and homeowner who needs a small plane for simple tasks such as planing a sticking door. Even the professional woodworker will find it helpful because of the sharpness, availability, and inexpensiveness of the blade.

Available from H & R Enterprizes, 18105 Landseer Road, Cleveland 19, Ohio, for $2.00 post paid.

"Skidrow" Doesn't Exist!

by ROLF D. GTERUM West Coost lumbermen's Associotion

DROFESSOR Walter F. McCulloch, eminent Dean of the r Oregon State University School of Forestry, wrote a book a couple of years back entitled "Woods Words." This fascinating compilation of loggers' lingo makes highly-entertaining reading for anyone, and especially those engaged in the forest products industry.

"Alabama wool" means long underwear, for instance, and a "barked" man is one who is bald. A "big blue butt' describes a particularly large log, something handled on a "skyline," which is a heavy steel cable stretched between the head tree at the landing and the tail tree back in the logging area.

"High lead (pronounced 'leed') logging" utilizes a spar tree carrying a main line and haulback cables high above the ground. The logs are attached to the line by a choker, and one end is raised off the ground for the trip to the yarding area.

"Lumberjack," according to Dean 1\{cCulloch, is a genteel term used by fiction writers who should have said "logger" if they meant a man working in the western woods. By same token, "lumbering" is a term used to mean "logging" by people who don't know any better.

When a man is big, strong, kind but not too bright, he is known to have "a size 17 collar and a size 2 hat." A "North Sea piano" is a concertina played in the bunkhouse by a Scandinavian logger, rvaiting to pick up his "monthly insult," or paycheck.

A thin man is described as one who "has to stand in the sun ten minutes to make a shadow," or "could use a doublebarrel shotgun for a pair of pants. The camp cook is known as a "biscuit shooter," "cookie pusher," "belly robber," or "stew builder."

Few of these colorful terms and phrases are heard outside of logging camps today, but the most notable exception by far is the word "skidroad." Often mispronounced and misspelled as "skidrow," the term has its origin in the western logging camps of the 19th Century. No one can say it better than Dean McCulloch himself, so let's hear it in his own (Woods)words:

SKIDROAD- (.) A road on which logs are skidded. At first they were dragged by bulls or horses across small skids laid on the road. Now the logs are skidded by donkey (engine) or cat (crawler-type tractor), the skids have disappeared, and the term is usually shortened to road. The skid-

road was the heart of the old logging show and many words still in use date from the days of skidroad logging; "hooktender," for example.

(b) A street in the tougher parts of West Coast towns where loggers hang out. Careless reporters with dirt in their ears have written skidrow or skid row so often that this miserable, phony term is accepted by the ignorant. There's no such damn thing as skidrow and there never was. The streets of saloons, card rooms, flop houses, sporting houses, etc. is the skidroad. The present day use came from famous skidroad built by Heny Yesler to skid logs from the woods to his mill on the Seattle waterfront in 1852. After it was no longer used for skidding this became just a road, and stores, saloons and other establishments grew up alongside. Much of the old road remains today, but it is known by the more genteel name of Yesler Way.

Let's hear no more about "skidrow."

Clevelond Edgeil Joins WCLA

G. Cleveland Edgett, 41, of Vancouver, B. C., has been named assistant to the vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, according to announcement by Wm. R. Garnett, president.

Edgett will be assistant to Executive Vice President H. V. Simpson, and assumes his new duties in Portland headquarters of WCLA on September l.

For the past two years, Edgett has been closely connected with the National Wood Pron.rotion program as a representative on the National Wood Council. He was largely responsible for setting up a parallel organi- zation in Canada and served as executive director of the Canadian Wood Develooment Council from its fornration in 1959 until recently.

The Canadian lumberman spent three

years abroad investigating and developing markets for west coast forest products. He was stationed in England and traveled extensively in Europe and South Africa. He served lrrior to this assignment as promotion director of British Columbia Lumber Manufacturers Association in Vancouver.

Edgett graduated from the University of Washington in 1948 where he majored in industrial and public relations. He and Mrs. Edgett and their four children, Sharon, Randy, Marty and Kerry, have just moved into their new home in Portland.

Olympic Inlroduces Cedqrcrest

Cedarcrest, a bevel siding with a resawn texture to bring out the natural grain of the cedar wood, is now being introduced by Olympic Stained Products Co., Seattle.

It is a completely pre-finished, tl"xl}"

siding, prestained at the factory including back priming and edges. Thus it differs markedly from pre-primed sidings in that Cedarcrest needs no on-the-job staining. Even the colored nails to match the siding are furnished.

In order to completely protect Cedarcrest from the elements and shipping damage between the factory and the job site, the pre-finished siding is packaged in Polycoated weather proof paper.

Cedarcrest is manufactured from Western Red Cedar, all clear, kiln dried, full length bundling with no nested shorts. It is packaged six pieces to the bundle in random lengths, 6-20 feet.

Because Cedarcrest is a completely prefinished product requiring no on-the-job staining, it is one of the most competitive quality sidings now on the nrarket, according to the manufacturer.

Mr. Southern Colifornicr Reroil Lumber Deoler:

Recognizing the problem represented by bad check losses to the industry, So-Cal Building Materials Co., Inc., Los Angeles, is providing a mobile training program for the industry consisting of "Check and Double Check" 10-minute color/sound training film.

Dick Freeman, So-Cal Vice-President, announced tl-re program this week by pointing out that American business loses over $600,000,000 annually via bad check losses, and this industry sustains its share of these losses.

Recognizing the importance of visual presentation reinforced by sound, Mr. Freeman said his organization was proud to offer this kind of service to the industry.

Though only available a short time, "Check and Double Check" is in use throughout the country. Typical users include Union Oil Company, Denver Retail Merchants Association, Thrifty Drugs, Ralphs lVlarkets, Von's NIarkets. American National Bank of New Orleans, and Citizens and Southern Bank of Georgia.

In just l0-minutes, the film, using the cartoon technique, covers what one retail security official said would take him an hour to tell to oersonnel who handle checks.

The film warns against counter checks, omitted dates, non-matching numbers, alterations, illegible signatures, unidentified endorsements. It recommends that checks be limited to the amount of purchase, that the customer be known or identified by credentials.

The film has a distinct advantage over human presentation, according to the film's distributors, Harris-Tuch-

man Sales Aids Company, Hollywood, California. The film always retains its original enthusiasm, no matter how often it repeats its message to new groups. It isn't affected by indigestion, worries, boredom, or a fight with the spouse.

Call or write So-Cal Building Materials Company, Inc., for further details. Phone: MAdison 7-5304. Address: 1220 Prodttce St., Los Angeles. Oh, yes; no charge to the dealer on this; another So-Cal contribution of service to the retail lumber dealer.

Colorful, Low Gost Lumber Literolure Offered Refoilers For Home Shows

Colorful, low cost lumber-selling literature for use by retail yards at Home Shows, in direct mail promotions and other mass distribution uses is available from the Western Pine Association for fall and winter consumer promotional programs.

Three special items have been published to fill a void existing in lumber literature where great quantities are needed at the letail level, according to the group's promotion director, Leo W. Beckstrom.

"These are available for one-half cent each for use during the heavy Home Show season due the rest of this year," he said.

One piece, "Home Icleas Literature," offers 17 publications free from the Association, ranging from a 16-page vacation homes book to folders on a,pplying finishes to paneling. Retail yard customers can mail their requests direct to the Association.

The "Lumber Buying Guide" is a handsize manual to better understanding of lumber by the consumer. "Ideas in Lumber" is a pocket version of Western Pine's wellknown "idea book" series.

In addition, a special imprint rate of $2.00 per thousand gives users of this literature the added advantage of having their own firm names carried in provided space on each piece distributed, if desired.

All three publications are of envelope en-

closure size, sparkle colorfully from show room display racks or counters, and may be obtained from the Western Pine Association. 510 Yeon Building, Portland 4, Oregon.

Georgio Pocifi c Establishes Operctions In New Mexico
