Coast Counties Lumber Dealers Hold Successful Party

From all accounts the Coast Counties Lumber Dealers' party at Salinas, September 12, was the most successful get-together affair in that area in many years.

The day was given over entirely to fun. Starting with a luncheon at Santa Lucia Inn, the afternoon was taken up with visiting and golf. There was a tour of the produce packing sheds conducted by Joe Rogers. BBQ steaksfrom loins which had been hanging since August 6were served at 6:30 in the evening at the Salinas Golf Club.

Over 50 retail yards, from San Luis Obispo to Redwood City, were represented, and about 10 wholesale firms sent representatives. Ray Clotfelter, Walter Peterson, and Bob Wright and his staff formed a delegation from the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California. The total attendance was 96.

The weather was perfect, with a full moon in the evening making a fine climax to a most enjoyable day. E. R. Hipkins of the Square Deal Lumber Co., Salinas, was chairman of the committee handling the arrangements, and he and his committee did a nice iob.
