I would rather be a builder Of castles made of air, To be rebuilded every day And dwell in fancy there, With everything to make me gladThe doors all closed to gloom, The sunshine of tomorrow Shining into every room, Than ever keep within the walls Of sad things, past and now; .i For tho my castles do not last, 4 ,', I build them anyhow.
r ' We all need praise. Let's give praise whenever and wherever it is deserved. Let's do our back-patting today, generously but intelligently, for "I cannot read my tombr:" stone when I'm dead."
Oscar Wilde wrote: If a friend of mine gave a feast and ' did not invite me to it, I should not mind a bit. But if a ;:,," friend of mine had a sorrow and refused to allow me to , share it, I should feel it most bitterty. If he shut the doors i. of his house of mourning against me, I would move back again and again and again and beg to be admitted, so that .I might share in what I was entitled to share. If he thought ; me unworthy, unfit to weep with him, I should feel it as :i the most poignant humiliation; as the most terrible mode i'i, in which disgrace could be inflicted on me.
Often you meet men loaded with personal ego, who remind you that the Lord made man out of mud and was not too careful in selecting the grade of mud used; creatures of chance who ride like drifwood on the crest of a wave which they, themselves, have not the brains to comprehend. ***
Socrates said that every man should marry. "If you get a
good wife, she will make you happy. If you get a bad wife,
she will make you a philosopher," said the pot-bellied
Athenian loafer of bygone days. {. rN. * ' , There are two kinds of discontent in this world: the discontent that works, and the discontent that wrings its . hands. The first gets what it wants and the second loses : what it has. There's no cure for the first but success; and
there's no cure at all for the second.-Gordon Graham.
Now let's talk about unbeautiful men. If you realize that the mug that stared back at you this morning when you ii, were removing the whiskers is not a movie-star type of beauty; if you know it to be a fact that you are no competitor for Gregory Peck or Cary Grant, take heart and read up on your American history. You will probably take some
BY JACK DIONNEsatisfaction in discovering or realizing that most of the mighty nien who made this nation great were sadly lacking in pretty features. George Washington was a pock-marked, rugged-faced citizen. That mighty man Thomas Jefferson was unquestionably homely in featurewas carrot-haired, had one shoulder lower than the other, and was said to have the skinniest legs in official Virginia. Ben Franklin had a face that would have made him a total loss in any beauty contest. Henry Clay, the great Kentuckian, was just naturally plain in looks, and Daniel Webster co.uld have done better haunting a house than trying to win a beauty contest. And if you simply called Abe Lincoln homely, you were flattering him. The sadness of the ages was in his countenance. But there was no beauty. So just thumb your nose at your refection in the mirror, for, Sir, if it says that you are a plain lookeror worseit means that you have one of the important elements possessed by many great men. * !N. *
Thackeray said: The world is a mirror that gives back to every man the refection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly back at you. Laugh at it, and with it, and it is a jolly, kind companion. **
There is an old baseball legend to the effect that once, long ago, a pitcher, just for a gag, threw Babe Ruth a ripe tomato. ft rained ketchup for three days.
It will be noticed that we frequently quote from Ben Franklin; possibly moie frequently than from any other American. The reason is, of course, that Ben said and wrote more quotable things than anyone else. Illustrating his philosophies regarding thrift in everything, even in prayer, is this one: His father invariably said grace at some length before each family meal. One day in early winter, Ben was helping his old man carry a side of beef in to their winter storehouse, and he asked his father why he didn't say grace over the whole carcass right then, and save a lot of time later on. ,l. ,. !ts
Ben was of the same school of thought as the little boy in the class that was just learning the alphabet. The teacher asked him what letter came after "A," and the kid said, "All of 'em." * {r :r.
Not long ago we told in this column about a fellow who said that maybe money isn't everything but it is three lengths ahead of whatever is running second. flere's another: "Some people think money will buy anything, but they are wrong. Money won't buy the finer things of life, those things that the heart most desires. Money won't buy happiness. It won't buy friendship. It won't buy love. It won't buy affection.-You understand, I am tal'ling about CONFEDERATE money."
" Babe, that there's phat I call a SOUND FOANDATION / " observed Paul Bunyan as he delicately lifted up the old house with his pinkie. The Blue Ox grunted. "See them mudsills, girders an' posts? Been settin' there 25 years in the damp an' dark, supportin' 50,000 pounds o' house-an' not a trace o' rot or termites anywhere. Sound as the day they was cut...Babe, sure as you're true blue, that's BAXCO Pressure Treated Foundation Lumberg."
* Wlut eise, Paul ? For the past 21 years
BAXCO pressure treated Foundation Lumber has been safeguarding thousands of rJ7estern homes against termites and wood-rot. Pressure treatment locks in the chemical protection for keeps. And when you figure, Paul, that just
one repair bill, caused by rot or termites, can run into hundreds of dollars-well, why take a chance ? Especially since BAXCO Pressure Treated Foundation Lurnber adds so little to the total building cost-just a few dollars.

The 67th annual Hoo-Hoo convention got off to a swinging, glamorous start at the Hotel Sahara in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday, September 14, when the general chairman of the conclave, R. N. "Nick" Whit!1ngton, the local Club President E. V. "Gene" Br-own, their wives, and members and wives of Las Vegas HooHoo hosted more tban- 700 visiting- Black Cats, their wives and families at a pre-convention cocktiil party for early arriva_ls. _The lumbermen-had begun arriving at the desert spa as early ^as Friday for the Internat^ional Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo get-togelher sponsoied by the Las^Vegas club, which has only 18 members but who were just full of western hospitality for this occasion.
Special tribuie was paid the various'coilrriittee chairmen ancl their wives for an outstanding job well done by the retiring Snark of the Universe, Ernie L. Wales. The memories of a well conducted convention will linger with all those who were present at the Las Vegas affair. The wives were especially commended for their untiring work as hostesses and for their advance help in planning this successful event. Hard-workers Dorothy Brown, Estella Kibby, Bea Whittington and Elsie Griffen were narned by the Snark for their fine work in making this outstanding affair so successful in every way. These ladies certainly carried the "ball" fron.r start to finish, along with their husbands.
Fun did not dominate the conclave. Serious business sessions were on the agenda and truly hard work was the order of each day. \{uch was accomplished for national youth programs and eclucational activities for scholarships in many iurisdictions.
Following the Fizz Brunch on Monday, the convention was opened on scl.redule at the Hotel Riviera convention hall by Gene Brown. Barney Rawlings, World War II hero, led the singing of the National Anthem at the presentation of the colors. The invocation was n-rade by the Reverend Glen Tudor, pastor of the First Christian Church of Las Vegas, and the show was then officially on the road.
Clifford H. Schorling, 1957-58 president ar.rd Rameses 49 of the international order, conducted the opening ceremony. Donald W. Bufkin, Supreme Nine member from Jurisdiction VI, presented the Snark of the Universe to the members attending the opening convention session.
Full reports of club activities were made by the Board of Councillors, which included membership and financial resumes

Pending receipt of the official convention attendance figure from Secretary Springer's omce in Milwaukee, Hoo-f{oo on hand in Las Vegas were unomcially reported between 900 and 1,000. Time will tell if the attendance surpassed the 800-plus registered at the San Francisco convention of 1956. It is also unofficially reported that the visiting lumbermen left more than $1 million behind in the Las Vegas spa in business and entertainment expenses.
The coming convention cities were namecl as follows:
1959Duluth, Minn. ; 1960Hot Springs, Ark.; 1961- Miami Beach, Fla.;1962 -Chicago, I1l.; 1963 -Vancouver, B.C. An invitatiorr has been received from Toronto, Canada, for 1964 but the selection has not yet been made.
by Secretary Ben Springer and Treasurer Ed Fischer, both of Milwaukee, M/is. Prior to the jurisdictional reports from members of the Supreme Nine, Snark Flrnie Wales announced the appointments of various convention committee members to get the machinery in gear for the nominations and educational pfograms.
Each jurisdiction reported progress in youth activity programs, educatior.ral scholarships sponsored, woodworking shops
for unclerprivileged cl'rildren, Boy Scout work, and tl-re hospital and charity r,n'ork that is bnilding a stronger ancl better Hoo-Hoo throughout Canada, the Philippines and the United States.
At 3 :39 p.m., the general sessions adjourned for the Concatenation of eight Kittens who came from every section of the Unitecl States, with one from N'Iexico. At this point the splendid I)egree Tearn from Hoo-lIoo Clt$ 70 at Salt I-ake City took charge of the initiation.
I-,yle Wood, the "undertaker," headed the initiation team as they took charge of the Kittens and paraded tl-rerl from one convention hotel to another. This was accomplished by the use of an ambulance and police escort. Other n-rer.r.rbers colrprising the l-rilarious part of the initiation included Warren Stack, Ross Hancy, Ted Anderson, Lance l)raper, Glen Lee and Monte Gowers, along with a following of cowboys from Utah and Idaho. They took complete charge of the following Kittens from Noon until tl-rey were escorted before the Degree nine at 3 :39: Benjamin T. Forester, Hartford, Conn. ; Joseph Martin Leyba, Juarez, Mex. ; James J. Cox, Jr., Phoenix , Ariz.; Edward T. Silva, Las Vegas, Nev. ; Sam Gross, Niles, Ohio; Richard Borden, Albuquerque, N. M., and Norman Winsor and Jarnes M. Harrell, Jr., for Los Angeles Club 2. Winsor resides in Glendale and Harrell makes Santa Ana his home.
Promptly on tl're stroke of 3:39 the Kittens were presented to the Degree Team for induction into the land of Hoo-Hoo. This team, headed by Snark Ed Ames, is beyond a doubt one of the finest in the country. Every movement conveys a definite
message, not only to the Kittens, but to the attending men-rbers. Thev were colorfullv dressed in black ar.rd lvhite western Black Cat butfits. Their message is most impressive and their appearance is in-roeccable.
In addiiion to the Snark, the nine positions of the Degree Team were filled by Bob Ketchum, Senior Hoo-Hoo; Ken

men were joined by the ladies for cocktails and social hour at the Hotel Riviera. Dinner entertainment was included in the various hotel theatre-restaurant programs and Hoo-Hoo members had first call for choice locations.
The Hoo-Hoo Workshop conducted by Supreme Custocatian Don Bufkin on Tuesday morning was well attended and enlightening. It was in this session that educational and charitable plans were discussed, along with the accomplishments of the various clubs.
Hoo-Hoo clubs are now furnishing TV sets for hospital rooms and have endowed beds in hospitals across the country. The exchange of views at this session was beneficial to all in attendance. It was also in this meeting that scholarships and youth activity were discussed.
Those who wanted to play and relax were entertained by a sightseeing trip to Hoover Dam in the afternoon and the golfers headed for the country club for a day of sports.
Wednesday was a day of action starting with committee meetings all over the place. At 11:59, the men attended a stag luncheon at the Sahara hotel while the women attended a fashion

show at the Riviera. Promptly at 1:59, the general convention was called to order.
This session movd rapidly under guidance of that "Old Pro," Ben Springer. Committee reports were introduced, election of the Supreme Nine was accomplished, and the Jurisdiction VI elected its leading hard worker, Bob Gallagher, to the high post of Snark of the Universe with the help of some 200 Black Cats in attendance.
Duluth was named as 1959 convention city and invitations were received for following years up to and including 1964. The ladies then joined the men in the Embalming of the Snark and welcomed the new head of the order. At this ceremony, Ben Springer presided, along with the Seer of the House of Ancients, C. D. LeMaster, of Sacramento, California.
Ben is truly a professional when it comes to conducting HooHoo business and he galloped right through this job with his usual speed and dexterity. He extended the sincere appreciation of the club membership for the fine work Ernie Wales accomplished during his term and, in the same breath, extended the

We at Sun pride ourselves for having the finest of lumber and timbers, rough or surfaced to orderbut the assignment we got the other day is really one for the books. We had to find the oldest worrneaten beams we could lay our hands on. Who gave us this unique order? Well, there's a brand new private club under construction on La Cienega called "Cave des Roy," literally translated "The King's Cellar." This club is really going to be, as they say in France, the "piece de resistance" of private clubs.
Designed by Serge Sassouni, a French architect from Beirut, Lebanon, this new club is modeled after the original in the Excelsior Hotel in Beirut. The decor throughout will be authentic French medieval. Built of heavy timbers and stone this club will be a landmark on La Cienega.
We're proud to have been selected for this assignment because it presents a challenge. And our army of sleuths are meeting that challenge by tracking down worm-eaten timbers. So, we say with all modesty, whatever your order may be, or how different, we will ffllit. Vioe la difference!

UP GOES A NEW SHOWROOM for Sun Valley Lumber Company, Lafayette ! Patterned on the "Eureka Construction" method (walls arc solid 2x 4 redwood S3S nailed side to side with rough face out), the new showroom is the culmination of over a year's planning on the part of Lafayette Dealers Tom Jacobsen, Sr. and Chris Sechrist together with the entire staff of Sun Valley Lumber Company. Building will be tallest and most modern structure in town . . and built entirely out of WOOD. If work continues on present schedule, the new showroom will be completed and ready for business sometime early next month.

Too often, he noted, contractors are prone to circumvent the normal channels of distribution in their research for unit price only to realize when the total job profit is calculated that it has actually cost them money in so doing.
In his concluding remarks, Pomeroy reminded the contractors that the modern building materials dealer has an iuvestment of more than $200,000 in plant and inventory, but of this very substantial investment he regularly lends more than a third to his customers for an average of 58

held uprigl-rt in pockets for different sizes and varieties, making selection and restocking easy.
Sidei of tl-re rack are 3/" interior-type fir plyn'ood, rn'ith rf" thicknesses of the same material dividing the rack into fockets. The rack is 4' long, 30" wide and 40" high.
The tops of the pockets were cut in steps so that the displayed items are staggered in height, making selection easier. To provide a better view of the items, the lower portions of the side walls were ctlt away. This also makes it easy to extract short-length items from the pockets
A very efficient fixture is the combination glass stock and cutting -unit, consuming little space but holding a- good quantity of glass. Measuring and cutting glass on the fixture rs easy.
The basic unit of this fixture is an open-faced rack & high, 4 wide and 3' deep, 3/4" interior-type fir plywood. Separations of f" interior-type fir plywood make an assortment of compartments. The glass-cutter swings freely from one end of the fixture, and a corner drawer catches snipped pieces of glass.
"This fixture cost us one-fourth of a purchased one," Budd said, "and we are able to make it blend with our showroom colors by paint spraying it any shade we like. Making these fixtures took irs only a few hours, but the results are highly satisfactory."
Another rack, for displaying fir plywood, consists of a box-like base of 1" interior-type fir plywood, 4A'x3A'x6". One-inch clowels from l8" to 40" high were inserted in the base on six-inch centers, so that different lengths of plyrvood can be easily stocked arrd displayed. Casters on the base provide easy changes to suitable locations.
"Sheets in this upright position have greater appeal, and our fir plywood sales have more than tripled because now we can show this material in our showroom," Budd commented.
"Previously, it was just stocked in our lumber shed and was not in sigl-rt to the average showroom customer. We intend to build more units like this, so we can show more plywood at different parts of the showroom. The demand for this product is increasing and we enjoy a very pleasing mark-up on each sale." he added.
United States Plywood Corporation's West Coast purchasing office lvas moved from Seattle, Wash., to Euget.re, Ore., effective August 29. The new address in Eugene is 60 13th Ave. West.
Gene C. Brewer, U. S. Plywood's vice-president and general manager in charge of \,Vest Coast operations, said the move was made because an increasing number of independent mills have been interested in having the company distribute their production. At all times, said Brewer, the West Coast purchasing office is buying lrom 42 or more independent mills. In an average month, it is responsible for shipping more than 1,000 cars of fir plywood to every part of the country.

\Alell - knorvn B"y Area Lumberman Johrr Nimmo launched a nelv enterprise, Ashby Lumber Company, at 824 Ashby Avenue, in Berkeley, September 13, with all appropriate Open House including prizes and givearvays to every pnrchaser. Nimmo used very little pre-opening media aclvertising but capitalized on his busy Asliby avenue location (over 75,000 cars pass by his store daily) to announce tl-re openinq on two large billboards at either end of tlre store. No one was more astonished than Nimmo himself by the big opening day turnout.
In selecting a location for his strictly cash and carry doit-yourself operation, Nimmo chose the Ashby avenue location because of its heavy use by Berkeley commuters (he actually counted 'em one day for a four-hour period), With adequate off-street parking the location would be a natural, he decidecl, so he eiected iwo large billboards at either entl of tl-re building announcing that this was sool1 to becon.re the home of Ashby Lumber Company.
'l'his generatecl a lot of interest in the new business evell before Nimmo was ready to start salting away those do-it-
yourself dollars. Further eye-catchers inclucle_ "specials" iigrrs ou the front of the building and a U.S. Plywood paireling display behind one big show window tl-rat actually resen-rbles a living room. Flood lights on the latter clisplay l<eep it n'orking on a 24-hotrr basis, picking up those "late" commrlters as well as calling aclditional attention to the l-rusiness.
Not completely relying ou his choice locatior-r to do all the selling, Nimmo himself spends a couple of hours <la.ily loliciting home improvement business "cold turkey" right out of the Berkeley phone book. While the "Merchallt's" representative was present, Nimmo made two such calls at rairdom, and while he did not come away with a cast it'ott sale in either case, lte did definitely establish Ashby Lttutbet arrd a friendly "We're here to help you" feeling in the uritrrls of both (ladies, in this case) he called. In short, Nirnruo's sarles philosophy is mucl.r the same as printed on tl.rose little cards we've all seen "It's him who makes the t:tlls .'rvhat gets the results."

I'<.rrtla"n<1. Ore.-Lumbermel must exert a greater efTot't t r elect to state and federal office, candiclates wl-ro will "truly represent" tl're interests of brrsiness, Nlortimel ]-i. I)oyle, executive vice-president of the National Luruber' Manrrfacturers Association, declared at the semi-anuual meeting of the Western Pine Association. Doyle assertecl:
"The responsibility for finding and electing such men to Congress lies lvith you. We call no longer afford to lct others select and elect Congressior.ral carrclidates for us."
At the same time, Doyle called for:
l. Closer cooperation betrveen tl-re lumber iuclnstry autl governntent.
2. A comprehensive study of the public-private pattem of lan<l ownership and "the acljustment of such orvnersliip if irr the best public interest."
Itevierving recent developments on the political frortt, l)oylg rvarned the lumber industry of the prospect that "a<l<litiorral anti-business legislators" may be elected to Congrcss in November.
" [-Iow can we safeguard our \\.ay of doing business, ortr lrrir':rte enterprise system, our basic constitutional rights, privileges and responsibilities ?
"I say to you now with all the emphasis and sincerity at my command that unless we immediately, each one of us, become politicians, soon we may not have a business system to safeguard-and here I am not talking about partisan politics."
To help lumber regions rlepertrlerrt on tratiotral forest timber supplies, the National Lumber Mannfacturers Association is working to bring about a "sympathetic awareness by tl-re Forest Service of the seriottsness of the problems of our industry," Doyle reported.
"Let me also say that cooperation is a two-way streetthat we must try to understand their problems i{ rve are to expect them to uuderstand ours. This is a futrclamerrtal concept of human relations in any endeavor.
"I believe we are steadily improving our relationships rvitl-r the Forest Service both in Washington ancl here in the Western Pine region. Our hope is that the Forest Service rvill show a continuitrg ancl growing appreciation for our ir<lustry problems."
The nation's lumber manufacturers, Doyle pointed out, have made great strides in improving forest management and insuring the nation a perpetual supply of wood.
As one example, the NLMA official cited the privately sponsored Tree Farm movement covering more than 4(r n-rillion acres in 45 states.
"This is a favorable outlook," he emphasized, "but we urust also consider what else is taking place simultaneously lvith our conservation efforts.
"In the Western Pine region, 70/c of the sawtimber an<l 69/. ol the commercial forest land are held by the federal gcrvernment. Only 27/o ol the land and 260/o of the timber are privately owned. This preponderance of federal ownership is a matter of primary interest to all citizens ...
"There is great need today for a comprehensive, natior.rwide study of the overall pattern of land ownership (federal, other public and private) and the adjustment of such ownership if in the best public interest," he concluded.
Since redwood contains no resins or gums, it is naturally fire-resistant. With its thick covering of shaggy natural insulation (bark) in the woods, it l.ras withstood many centuries of lvildfires. I{owever, the young trees suffer.

Development of blister resistant paints by the paint manufacturing industry has solved one of its most perplex- ing problems and made available new quality paints for home owners, it was reported at the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association's fourth annual meeting on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Nlembers of the association are the principal manufacturers of cedar siding.
These new blister resistant paints, available throughout the wood siding marketing areas, have been demonstrated by research conducted by Timber Engineering Company, Washir-rgton, D.C. The project involved tl-re testing of many paints of the blister resistant type in comparison with two conventional oil-based, reactive pigment paints used as controls. The laboratory employed both the blister box technique (for determining tire amount of moisture blistering that rn'ould occur under extreme conditions) and the

The Association heard that the new paints were reported to be_superior to conventional paints also in spreading rate, wet film sagging, brusl-ring, and drying time. These facts were based on research conducted by Paint Research Laboratories, San Francisco, Califomia. -

I believe it wiil encourage them to increase their efforts. It will also remind people that they have a job to do on their forest land: planting trees and managing their timber as a perpetual crop."
Tucson was chosen for the first day issue because the Am-erican Forestry Association, one of the leading agencies in forest conservation, will be meeting there at that ti-e. This organization worked for "savinf the forests" before the forest reserves were established, and continues to work for better forestry and forest fire protection, Secretary Benson sato.

R. Stanley Dollar, whose death in New York City, September 24, was reported briefly in the last issue, during his 78 years not only built one of America's greatest shipping lines but was active in finance, lumber, oil, radio, ranching, aviation and other businesses. Mr. Dollar was born July 6, 1880, in the little Canadian town of Bracebridge, Ontario, wl,ere his father, the late, great Capt. Robert Dollar, lTad a lumber caryp. lle was named Stanley after the celebrated reporter who had located Dr. Livingstone in darkest Africa.
The multimillionaire was president of Dollar Associates. Inc., the Robert Dollar Company, and Globe lVireless. Ltd. He was a director in four other companies. He most recently made financial headlines when he won $9 million share in settlement of the court case against the government for seized stock of the Dollar Steamship Line, now the American President Lines. Among the homes he main-
tainccl was one at Walnut Creek, Calif.. and he hacl been in San Francisco just the week before his death to receive a Propeller Club award as The City's "Shipping Man of the Year." He flew back to his New York City apartment, where his death came on a Saturday morning within half arr hour of a sudden collaose.
It. Stanley Dollar crowdtd enough activity into his everltful life to provide a dozen normally successful careers. The award he so recently won was said not to be for ally par- ticular activity but-simply "to honor Mr. Dollar's-miny contributions over the years."
He began his business career in his father's office at 10 California St. in San Francisco as a 17-year-old office boy ancl bookkeeper. Capt. Robert Dollar's "fleet" at that time was one small schooner, The Newsboy, to carry the lumber frorn the Dollar mill along the California coast. The company's first major ship, The Grace Dollar, was launched in 1898 to carry lumber but was converted to take goldseekers to Alaska. When a long line of Dollar ships, all named after rnembers of the family, was put into the Orient trade in 1902, R. Stanley was left in charge of the San Francisco office as vice-president and general manager. His name became a byword in American and worldwide shipping after 1922. When Capt. Robert Dollar died in 1.932, the fleet consisted of 32 ships and R. Stanley Dollar, then 52, took over complete control of the huge shipping and lumber empire.
"At heart I'm a lumberman," R. Stanley once said; "I happened to need a couple of oceans in my business. That's how I got in shipping."
It was observed in the early 30s that there would have been no American Merchant Marine without the Dollar family. During the depression, the Dollar Steamship Co. pledged its stock for government help. The change of the shipping line's name and the long court suit ensued. The Robert Dollar Company, during the years of litigation befole the $19 million settlement by the government, and Dollar Associates and other firms set up to replace the ship-
pir.rg company returned to lumber as their main interests.
Although he was largely out of shipping in later years, R. Stanley's advice and wisdom were still sought in maritime circles and his statesmanship much valued. He had said in recent years that "no man is ever old enough to retire" and followed his own creed. He often declared. "\A/ork is the foundation of all real happiness." Although he hacl spent most of his time in later life in New York, Mr. Dollar remained active in the comDanv businesses in San Francisco.
He leaves his wife, the former Esther Johnson of Oregon; two children: R. Stanley Dollar, Jr., Walnut Creek, and Mrs. Joseph Hickingbotham, San Rafael; five grandchildren: R. Stanley III, Daphne and Debbie Dollar, and Heicli and Joseph Hickingbotham, Jr. llonorary pallbearers included W. Stoy Elliott and C. A. King at the funeral services which were held at tl-re First Presbyterian church in San Rafael, Calif., September 29. Interment was in the l)ollar family mausoleum at Mount Tamalpais cemetery in San Rafael.
Frank R. Hill, 59, officer of the Rossman Mill and Lumber Co. and one of Southern California's best-known and most-respected retail lumbermen, died September 25 in Peralta hospital, Oakland, after long illness. The recent bulletin of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association called Mr. Hill "an esteemed oldtimer in our industry as a leader in years of service."
Frank R. Hill was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, January 29, 7899. He served as vice-president, treasurer aird ge.r- eral manager of the Rossman Mill and Lumber Co.- for many years, directing the activity of the lineyard operations from the Wilmington main ofrces. He firit becime ill a year ago when he had to undergo serious brain surgery.

John E. RICHARDSON
Iohn E. Richardson. one of Southern California's outstinding young lumber dealers, died suddenly at 5:00 p.m., September 26, at the age of 43 while unloading lumber at the railroad spur of his retail yard in Whittier. A heart attack was recorded as the cause of death but there had been no previous attacks and no indications of ill health. This personable young dealer founded, owned and ran his own company, the Richardson Mill & Lumber Co., in PicoRivera and La Habra. Active in civic affairs as one of the guiding principles of his business life, Mr. Richardson had served two terms as president of the Pico Chamber of Commerce, and president of the combined Chamber when Pico merged with Rivera
Mr. Richardson was born in Dayton, Ohio, January 9, 1915. It was in 1940 that he obtained with $500 cash the 3-acre site at 9613 E. Whittier Blvd. and started a cabinet shop that became the flourishing retail lumberyard of today that he owned and actively managed with great credit to himself and his associates. The opening of a Serve-Yourself store in 1955 and the dealer's subsequent enterprising activities were often reported in these pages. The business lre started at the age of 25 with a piece of property, a shed, a saw table and a load of lumber, had grown to a staff of 45 when he reached the age of 40 three years ago.
Mr. Richardson leaves his wife Mildred of the home at 15255 Carretera Drive, East Whittier; two sons, 16 and 12; a daughter, 9; his parents and a sister. Burial was in Rose Hills Memorial Park, Whittier.
H. A. "Herb" Tildesley, 47, well-known East Bay lumberman and head of the Eastshore Lumber &Mill Company, died of a sudden heart attack, September 24, while in Ukiah, Calif., on business for the firm. He began his lumber career 28 years ago at the same Oakland plant that he was later to control. After assuming the operation, Mr. Tildesley continued to build the organization to the point that, at the time of his death, it was one of the Bay area's largest remanufacturing facilities. He leaves his wife Tamy of the home in Alameda, a daughter Claudia, and a brother, Bill, of Orinda.

I sing no idle songs of dalliance days, No dreams Elysian inspire my rhyming; I have no Celia to enchant my lays, No pipes of Pan have set my heart to chiming.
I am no wordsmith dripping gems divine Into the golden chalice of a sonnet; If love songs witch you, close this book of mine, 'Waste no time on it.
Yet bring I to my work an eager joy, A lusty love of life and all things human; Still in me leaps the wonder of the boy, A pride in man, a deathless faith in woman. Still red blood calls, still rings the valiant fray, Adventure beacons through the summer gloaming; O, long and long and long will be the day 'Ere I come homing.

light construction industry's benefit were contractors to be more aware of their responsibility to their suppliers and to recognize that inventory availability, expert counseling, estimating, advertising, crediS extension, delivery-and a wealth of other unique services,which the dealer regularly provides-should not be viewed lightly but recognized as value received.
A four day estimating-sales course will be held for industry personnel in Sacramento, November 10-13. The course has been designed to provide employes of Association member firms with a working knowledge of estimating fundamentals commencing with reading of blueprints, estimating rnaterial requirements, frame construction, etc.
Two davs of the course will be devoted to advanced estirnating techniques and students will prepare actual estimates for kitchens, patios, add-ons, etc.
A unique and highly valuable feature of the course will be three evenings' instruction in architectural drafting, includ- ing interior and exterior perspective drawing. To insure maximum individual instruction, enrollment will be limited to the first 30 registrants.
The first of the Fall 1958 LMA Round Table Conferences, designed to provide Northern California dealers with a moderated forum to exchange ideas on the improvement of their operations, was held in San Francisco on September 26.
The format of the Conference was similar to the widelv accepted programs of last Spring whereby approximately 20 non-competing dealers gather to discuss operating practices, methods of reducing operating costs, personrtel training, new products, etc.
-These warmly endorsed dealer programs will be a continuing service of the Lumber Merchants Association and the next meeting will be held on October 24.

PortlandThe following report of third quarter, 1958, procluction ancl shipn'rents of \\''estern Pine Region lumb_e,r products and estirnate of probable fourth quarter, 1958, shipments was released by W. E. Griffee, assistant secretary-manager of the Western Pine Associatit.rn :
A preliminary estimate puts the Western Pine inclustry's lrroduction during the third qtlarter at 2372 million feet, up 1.5/o lrom the same quarter of last year. This is the first time in nearly two years that procluction has exceeded the year-ago figure. Production of 5910 million for the first nine months was down 3.7Vo from 1957.

which is normal. The 1999 million feet now on hand compares with 2023 million a year ago and 2017 million two years ago. This overall volume is fully adequate, though some items, notably White Fir Shop, are not available in sufficient volume. The rising trend of shipments makes the current volume of stocks much less apt to become burdensome than was the volume a year ago when shipments were trending downward.
Although the physical volume of all construction put in place during August was about the same as a year ago, the recent record volume of contract awards ooints to increases in the near future. The dollar volume of contracts for nonresidential buildings in August was up 7/o lrom a year ago. Most of this type of construction does not require as much lumber per dollar expended as does residential construction but the increasing popularity of laminated beams and heavy wood roof decking for churches, schools and supermarkets is providing volume outlets for the lightweight Engelmann Spruce and White Fir from the \Mestern Pine region. The region's huge dry kiln capacity gives it an edge in supplying well-seasoned heavy decking.
Finishing the large number of homes started during the late summer will keep wood-work manufacturers busy during the fall. This promises a good demand for factory grades of all our species. Moulding manufacturers may not be able to provide as ready a market for select grades because of rapidly increasing imports of pine mouldings from Mexico. Based upon such factors and all other available information upon prospective demand it would seem probable that, during the fourth quarter of 1958, shipments (consumption) of lumber from the \Mestern Pine region will approximate 1965 million feet. or about 57o above those in the fourth quarter of 1957.
Chicago 5, Ill.-The National Hardwood Lumber Association is lining up another outstanding program of education and entertainment for its 61st annual convention, slated for the Hotel Sherman here, Nov. 11-13. Secretary-Manager M. B. Pendleton and the 1957-58 officers have secured Congressman Ralph W. Gwinn of New York as the keynote speaker, and the longtime solon will warn the hardwood lumbermen of the attempts he has seen by organized labor to gain control of the Congress. Also on the opening day, President Howard A. Hanlon will give the annual address, President R. H. Robinson of the Cana-
cliau Lumbermen's Assn. will extend an invitation to conveni in Nlontreal next year, and Mr. Pendleton will give the secretary's annual report. Tribute will also be paid at this meeting to the 40 years' service of Chief Inspector Wm. H. Nelson.
Equally strong speakers are lined up for the succeeding convention days, and an unusual array of entertainment is being planned for the ladies in addition to the social events they will attend with the lumbermen.

Minutes of September 12 Meeting
'l'he fourth regular rneeting of the Central California Dry Itiln Club for the year \{ras held at the California Forest Products Laboratory, Richmond, jointly u'ith the Reclu'ood Seasoning Conrmittee.
Dr. Frecl I)ickinsorr. director of the California Forest Products l-aboratorv and Dr. E,ric ]lllrvoocl, in charge o{ lumber clrf ing studies, rvelcomecl the group and talked about laboratory facilities and the type of research prograln beirrg unclertaken by the Laboratory sta1T. One of the projects concerns the effect of drying conclitions orr redwoocl stain. This prciject is partially supportecl by the California Iteclu'ood Association throrrgh a grant in-aid.
After a rro-1.rost-luncheon a technical meeting u'as held at the l,aboratory.
In aclclition to kiln scl'reclule stuclies, the U. of C. researchers are also con<lncting experiments ort the dryirrg of redu'oocl bv the solvent seasorring process, a l)rocess clevelopecl several years ago by the \Vestern Pine ,\ssociation. \\ratson Fearing, of the Laboratory sta1T, described the process and reportecl ol1 solne of the prelirninary resrrlts obtainecl tl-rus far on redu.ood.
In brief, the green lrrmber is errclosed in the r-apor tight chamber, arrrl a hot water miscible solvent, sttch as acetone, is circulatecl over the lurnber. The hot solr.ent "extracts" the lvater ancl some of the extractives fror-n the lnrnber. \\'hen the dcsirecl moistrrre colltent is reached, the solr'ent remaining in the lumber is removetl by circrrlating hot air above the boilirrg point of the solvent ancl the solvcnt is recoverecl for reuse.
In the fetY rrrns macle on red'uvood to date. inclications are that lll reclu'oocl sinker stock can be driecl irr about 6 to 7 ciays.

Colorful Mission Inn, Riverside, was the scene of the September meeting of the Wholesale Lumbermen's Association of Southern California, held September 30. Stark Sowers of Inland Lumber Company, Bloomington, arranged the meeting after the membership of the wholesaler group had voted in both the July and August meetings to get together in the San Bernardino-Riverside area.
An afternoon of golf at the well-known Victoria Country Club, Riverside, preceded the meeting. Stark Sowers himself won the honors and was crowned "champ" after defeating such well known players as John Hanson, Frank Bader, Dick Lloyd and Ed Fountain.
The business session of the wholesaler group convened following dinner in the Lea Lea room of the famous Inn. Among other matters taken up were an accelerated membership drive planned for the next month, a review of grading standards and cooperation with mills to reduce crook in dimension lumber, and developments in transportation hearings being held before the ICC.
Most important of the agenda matters was a round-table discussion on the supply position for lumber for the next six months.
Ted Roy, Roy Forest Products Company; Jim Richardson, Jim Richardson Lumber Co.; Bill Ffanen, Al Peirce Co.; Chuck Clay, Forest Products Sales Company, and Don Bufkin, Hobbs Wall Lumber Co., contributed to a special appraisal of the immediate future market.
John Hanson, Anderson-llanson Co., president of the association; Ed Fountain, Ed Fountain Lumber Co., chairman of the association's Transportation committee; Fred S. Thompson, Inland Lumber Company, and Herb Meier, Herb Meier Lumber Company, contributed to the discussion on the longer range market future situation.

Standard & Btr random length, Utility and Economy and K-D Dimension reflected the price trend, along with Dry White Fir Dimension. No. 4 Common Ponderosa Pine boards were easier to buy, and Nos. 2 and, 3 common Pine boards were also on the weak side.
