Home Builders Active in 50 Stotes, 3OO Cities in New'Builders' Committee for Nixon-Lodge' Boom

Washington, D.C.-Rodney M. Lockwood, former president of the National Association of Home Builders and prominent Detroit builder, has been named by Vice-President Nixon to head a newly formed Builders' Committee for Nixon-Lodge, announces Charles S. Rhyne, national Nixon-Lodge Volunteers chairman.

Lockwood said, in accepting the appointment:

"We are activating key builders' committees in all 50 states and 300 major cities. The function of these committees will be to mobilize the building profession-Independents, Democrats and Republicans-to the support of America's most-experienced and best-equipped leadership team-Richard Nixon and Henry Cabot Lodge. I am confident that a large segment of the building trade and profession feel as I do and will work through our committee to elect the Nixon-Lodge ticket on Nov. 8."

The Michigan builder is a past president of the Detroit Association of Home Builders. He served on a five-man F'ederal Housing Programs and Policies executive committee appointed by President Eisenhower in 1953, and on a similar 23-man advisory committee on housing, also by Presidential appointment.

During the postwar building reconversion, Lockwood's special 1946 study of industry-government problems, called the "Lockwood Report," led the way to solution of many production bottlenecks.

Wrote the Vice-President in acknowledging Lockwood's chairmanship:

" . The importance of the Home Building industry, and the need for continued stimulation of its growth as a vital sefJment of our economy, cannot be over-emphasized. Despite the recent accomplishments of the housing industry, some stubborn problems stand in the way of achieving our common objective of better homes for all Americans, and the federal government must help provide the economic climate and the incentives which will make this objective obtainable. To achieve these ends, we must rely increasingly on tl-re active participation of interested and informed citizens in developing suitable programs."

Where the Candidates Stand on Housing

Washington-Presidential candidates, announced and unannounced, were agreed : housing construction is lagging behind the nation's needs. They don't agree on how to solve the problem. But they are deeply concerned with housing needs.

Their views were expressed in exclusive statements to the NAHB Journal of Homebuilding and published in the June issue. The Journal is the monthly publication of the National Association of Home Builders.

The statements on housing needs were made by:

Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson, (D-Tex.) ; Sen. John F. Kennedy, (D-Mass.) ; Vice-President Richard M. Nixon; Gov. Nelsor.r D. Rockefeller (R-N.Y.) ; Adlai E. Stevenson, (D-I11.); and Sen. Stuart Symington, (D-Mo.).

Johnson thought the Federal government "can be of distinct assistance-both to home builders and home buyers," and that positive steps can be taken to smooth out the supply of mortgage money, put it on more of an even keel and straighten out some of the fits and starts in home building.

Johnson said a constructive suggestion has been made to the effect that a Central lVlortgage Bank-perhaps using the framework of the Federal National Mortgage Association-should be established to regulate the flow of funds into the mortgage market and see that these are available in reasonable amounts. (Legislation is pending in Congress to carry out some of these ideas.)

Kennedy outlined five steps that should be taken in a drive toward the goals of the Housing Act of 1949. First,

See More Lumber Ssles lo Fcrrms

More lumber may be sold for the construction end repalr of farm houses and farm servlce bulkltngs as a result of recent actlon by the Agrlculture I)ept., whlch has eased the conditlons under which it wln grant farm-housfurg loans under Titlo V of the Housfurg Act of 1949. Prevlously, to obtain such a loan, a farmer had to gain a "substantlal" portlon of hfu lncome from the fa,rm. Now the farm must produce for sale or home use only $400 worth of commodltles at 1944 prlces.

reverse present high-interest rate policies; second, increase efforts to clear slums and renew cities ; third, adapt the mortgage insurance provisions of the Federal Housing Administration to modern needs; fourth, do more to en-

courage development of rental housing, particularly rental housing for the elderlv: and fifth. develoo new housins p new ng housing elderly; and fifth,

techniques through modern science and technology.

Nixon wrote a California official of the NAHB. His letter. quoted in the Journal, said it is doubtful whether anyone would contend that high-interest rates alone are the most satisfactory way of fighting inflation.

"The Administration certainly endorses the policy of curbing unnecessary government spending to combat inflation," the Vice-President's letter said. "We also recognize the need for some additional methods of dealing with management-labor wage controversies to avoid more inflationary wage-cost pushes."

Nixon's letter said that the Administration is very much in favor of maintaining as high a level of home building as is consistent with stable economic growth and that the mortgage money and home-building situations are being watched very carefully.

Rockfeller, in transmitting his housing recommendations to the 1960 session of the New York State Legislature, said that in New York the most urgent housing need is for "middle-income" residents-those whose incomes are too high to make them eligible for subsidized public housing and too low to enable them to purchase or rent housing produced by unassisted private enterprise. His recomnrerrclations were sent by his office to the Journal.

The Governor said that "private endeavor must be encouraged and stimulated to construct the housing to meet this need." It is essential for government to help develop the programs necessary to attract adequate investment of private capital to meet the critical housing needs of families and persons of middle income, he said.

Stevenson marked portions of a speech he made to the American Council To Improve Our N.eighborhoods (ACTION) last year and sent them to the Journal.

"The plain fact is," he said, "that those who oppose Federal aid for urban renewal are actually against urban renewal. For they know full well that many of the possib.ilities of local revenue have been pre-empted by Federal and state taxing bodies, that the largest urban centers are operating under archaic revenue authority with little hope of relief from state legislatures dominated by non-urban lawmakers."

Symington told the Journal that "the stimulating and assisting role of the Federal government in the housing field has been held in check by the shortsightedness of many top policy of6cials. They fail to understand that investment in homes, in slum-clearance projects, and in rehabilitation of obsolete communities are sound investments in the present and future health of our country.

"I favor private housing first, where it can meet the needs. I favor public housing where private investment cannot, or at least does not, meet the needs," Symington said.

U. S. Plywood Digs ln for Long-Term 80% Fir Output

New York-United States Plywood Corporation, which led the industry in cutting fir plywood production 20/o in August, has announced long-range plans that will maintain production at the 80/o level. Gene C. Brewer, company president, said that operation of West Coast fir facilities on a four-day week basis had proved "effective but not practical for the long pull."

"Consequently," he said, "the plants were put back on a five-day week, efiective September 26, and. our curtailed production will be achieved through necessary manpower adjustments or elimination of shifts, dependent on the most efficient way each plant can be operated at the 8O/o level."

N{r. Brewer said that the company's plans for long range curtailment of production are in recognition of the need for producing efficiently at a curtailed production rate that is adjusted to the demands of the market place.

"Fir plywood constitutes but 4O/o of our total sales," Mr. Brewer said, "and we manufacture only about one-third of the fir that we sell. We purchase under sales contracts and in the open market the balance required by the customert who buy from our 130 branch warehouses. I emphasize this point to make clear that we are reducing production in our own plants for the sole purpose of achieving stability in the market.

"This action, of course, will necessitate our purchase from other manufacturers of an even larger percentage of our total requirements."

He termed the recent general drop in mill prices as indication of a "chaotic market which only responsible leadership in the industry can correct."

Underlying the present situation, Mr. Brewer said, is the fact that despite "phenomenal growth" that has quadrupled fir plywood usage in the past decade, the industry's produc- tive capacity has outstripped the still-growing demand. "We believe that action such as we have taken," he said, "is a constructive move to correct this imbalance."

U. S. PLYWOOD TO MAINTAIN SALES

Nerv York-In the face of what he termed a "soggy start to the soaring sixties," S. W. Antoville, United States Ply- wood board chairman, had an optimistic report for stockholders at their annual meeting September 21 in the Park Lane hotel. By the end of the company's fiscal year, April 30, 1961, he said, sales would approach last year's record $276 million.

"There's no doubt the soaring sixties got off to a soggy start," Mr. Antoville declared. "Much of the country's industrial production was geared to anticipate a magical upsurge in demand during 1960, and there have been many disappointments."

And with th'e 8o/o upturn in August housing starts and an apparent loosening of mortgage money, "the building industry can look for improvement in the coming months," he declared.

"In the midst of a national election year," he said, "when the in's are diminishing economic ills and the out's are magnifying them, it is extremely difficult to arrive at accurate economic facts on which to base intelligent estimates."

Gene C. Brewer, president, in a progress report to stockholders said that the company is spending more than $11,000,000 "to modernize and. expand manufacturing facilities and our nationwide distribution system." He attributed maintenance of the firm's sales volume at high levels to the continuing program to broaden sales outlets and said that 12 new branch warehouses would be opened in the current fiscal year.

Mr. Brewer pointed out that although cost reduction pro-

grams are in force to "improve earnings," the company will not withdraw plans for market expansion.

"For our recently acquired companies in the fir plywood component field," he said, "we are eyeing with considerable interest the farm-building market. Estimates point to replacement of. 48/o of existing farm buildings within the next 20 years. For partially prefabricated buildings of fir plywood this means a potential market of $720 million."

Weyerhoeuser Product-plonning Dept. To Step-up Wood-product Development

Tacoma, Wash.-Increased responsibilities were assumed by the product planning department of Weyerhaeuser Company's lumber and plywood division on October 1, announces George H. Weyerhaeuser, corporate vice-president who heads the firm's lumber, plywood and timberland group.

An accelerated rate of wood-product development is the objective of the move, he said. This will be attempted through the increased supervision provided by a centralized department.

Many product responsibilities formerly divided between marketing and production will be consolidated in the pro{; uct plannlng department, \Meyerhaeuser explained. It will deteimine wtrictr products the lumber and plywood division is to manufacture, the form in which these products will be sold, and will conduct the development program required to improve present products and develop new ones.

The department will also act as a clearing house for new product ideas and product problems, Weyerhaeuser, reported, and will be responsible for resolving such problems to take advantage of marketing opportunities.

The change will bring promotions to newly created assignments:

Arthur Lahey, manager of sales programming and market research, will become assistant to Alan T. Smith, manager of the product planning department. Paul L. Fossum, district product supervisor, has been named manager of lumber product lines. M. L. Sorber moves from plywood liaison io manager of plywood product lines. Ortie E. LaYoy, product-managel, will become quality standards manager. R. S. Lewis, Pres-to-Log product manager, was named market analysis manager.

'Do-Nothing'Congress Foils to Push Housing Aid

"Bobtcril" Session Legislotive Roundup

The 86th Congress went into fnal adjournment on September 1. Its "bobtail" session, which convened on August 8, ended approximately three weeks after it met.

Ttre first session of the new 8?th Congress will convene next January. All legisla.tion on which this Congress failed to act is now dead. In order for legislation pending at adjournment to be acted on in the next Congtess, it must be re-introduced and taken through the entire legislative process, including Committee action, before it can become law.

The entire second session of the 86th Congress-and partieularly the "bobtail" session which just concluded-might be briefly characterized as one in which Republicans in coalition with many Southern Democrats gained tactical control of the legislative machinery, notwithstanding the fact that the Democrats had majorities in both Houses approaching two-thirds, reports the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

The Democratic CongIessional leadership composed of Senator Johnson (D, Tex.), Senate majority leader and Vice-Presidential candidate; Senator Kennedy (D, Mass.), the Democratic Presidential nominee, and Speaker of the House Rayburn, returning to Washington from the Los Angeles convention, laid down a fourpoint piogram-F'ederal-aid to school construction, higher minimum wages and extension of coverage, liberalized housing' and a Social Security system of medical insurance for the aged-which they felt would bolster the Democratic ticket and assure its victory in November if it were enacted. However, when the "bobtail" session ended on September 1 not even one of their proposals had been enacted.

Early in the second session it became evident that a powerful combination of Southern Democrats and Republicans was able not only to force meaningful concessions in the principal social and economic proposals of the Democratic leadership but they were also able in many cases effectively to tie up undesirable legislation of the extreme liberal wing, thereby preventing its enactment. This is illustrated by the fact that two Southern Democrats and four Republic&ns on the House Rules Committee very ably thwarted the plans of the Democratic leadership. It was in the Rules Committee, under the leadership of Democratic Representative Howard Smith of Virginia, that two of the four must biUs of this leadership died.

One piece of legislation unanimously passed by the House during the "bobtail" session, and which is of particular interest to the lumber industry, provided for the establishment of an anrnual National Forest Products Week during the third week of October.

Except for passage of this resolution, the Congress took little action during its short session on major forestry bills. A joint Senate-House conference committee met in executive session on several occasions to reconcile the House and Senate versions of a bill, S. 690, to provide for increased research on industrial agricultural commodities, including forestry, but failed to reach any egreement. A second supplemental appropriations bill for fiscal year 1961 containing additional funds for the United States Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management was passed. Objections were raised in the House to the unanimous consent passag:e of a bill, H.R. 12419, to require advance consultation with the F ish and Wildlife Service before the beginning of any Federal biological control of animal or plant pests.

Legislative action taken by the "bobtail" session on some of the major proposals advanced by the Democratic leadership is briefly summarized as follows:

Mintmum Wage: Prior to the political conventions, the House passed a bill amending the F ederal wage-hour law limiting a minimum wage increase from the present $1 to $1.15 and extending its coverage to a little over 1-million workers. Although Senate debate foreed some concessions, the Senate passed a bill in the "bobtail" session that went far toward organized labor's goals by providing a three-stage increase to $1.25 and extending: coverage of the law to some 4-million more workers, including large numbers engaged in wholly intra-state commerce.

A joint Senate-House conference committee meeting during the final days of the Srlrrt session failed to reach agreement on the divergent versions of the bills before Congress adjourned. Senator Kennedy, leader of the Senate conferees, told the Senate that the House conferees had insisted on the bill as passed by the House "or nothing," adding that the Senate conferees felt it would be better to start all over again next January after taking the issue (extension of federal wage fixing authority to local businesses) to the people in the coming political campaign.

Houslng: An "emergency" housing bill to channel $1-billion into the purchase of government-insured mortgages passed the House

R.emodeling Attrocis Builders

early in the second session but the Senate failed to take any action on it. Billion-dollar housing measures providing for public housing and expansion of the urban renewal, college housing and nursing housing prog"ams were passed by the Senate and approved by the House Banking Committee. However, the House Rules Committee efrectively blocked House floor action on these proposals.

During the closing hours of the "bobtail" session, Congress passed legislation to extend the FHA housing programs for one year, including the Title t home improvement program, and to provide $5OO-million in college housing loan funds and 95O-million in loans for public facilities in small communities.

School Constructlon: The House Rules Committee, by refusing to permit bills already passed by the Senate and the House to go to conference for adjustment of differences, effectively blocked legislation to authorize tr'ederal-aid to school construction. An informal agreement had been reached by the prospective conferees on the measure which included concessions that w€r€ &Gceptable to the Administration. The informal agreement provided that the bill be limited to school construction and-that provisions for teachers' salaries as provided in the Senate bill be deleted.

Medical Care lor tho Aged: When the Congress reconvened in August, Senators Kennedy and Johnson set out to make medical care for the aged an integral part of the Social Security system. They sought to add such So-cial Security provisions to a Housepassed bill providing for a limited grant-in-aid, medical-aid program for the needy aged.

Under the Kennedy-Johnson proposal, medical benefits would be provided Social Security pensioners with the cost of the new program to be financed by payroll taxes. The Administration supported a voluntary progTam of State aid to elderly persons with low incomes entailing E'ederal grants from the Treasury to help States meet the cost.

The mea.sure as sent to the President provided for $220-million in Federal grants for relief-type State prograrns the first year. The States would provide $61-million. It is estimated tlat 1.4 million persons over 65 would receive payments under this proglam.

Secondary Boycott: This Congress did not take any final action on Senate or House bills to permit picketing at sites of labor disputes in the construction industry without regard to the efrect upon neutral or secondary employers. This proposal if enacted would have permitted building trade unions to block the we of non-union-made wood products or ClO-union made products on any construction project employing AF L building trade union employbs. A subcommittee of the Senate Labor Committee on August 9 approved such a bill, S. 2643, for the full Committee's consideration. While the full Committee did consider the measure in a series of executive sessions, it took no flnal action prior to the Congressional adjournment. A companion bill, H.R. 9070, which had been approved by the House Labor Committee, was pigeonholed by the House Rules Committee and it also died when Congress adjourned,

Other Legtslatlon: The President has already sigrted a $3.9 billion public works appropriations bill (now Public Law No. 86700) which includes S706,491,600 for construction by the Army Corps of Engineers.

The "bobtail" session also approved legislation to provide forest protection and management of lands in reservoir projects administered by the Corps of Engineers. It was sigrred by the President, September 6, and is now Public Law No. 86-7\7.

Undoubtedly, many of the proposals which this Congress failed to act on will be brought up again in the next session of Congress. Among these will be legislation to increase the F ederal minimum wage and extend the coverage of the Fair Labor Standards Act, provide federal assigtance to economically depressed areas, enlarge the federal housing programs, and permit secondary boycotts at construction sites. In addition, bills will most likely be dropped in the legislative "hopper" of the 87th Congress in the area of taxation, natural resources, to establish national wilderness areas, and further attempts will be made to solve the alleged road access problems to national forest lands. -Natlonal

Joint Industry Xloteriols-Hondling Grou-p Recommends New'stqndord Unit' of Lumber

A joint meeting of retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers of lumber was held this month in Washington to ag'ree on new standards for unitizing lumber for efficient mechanical handling. As an aid to dealers who do not have large fork-lift equipment, the committee unanimously agreed to recommend the establishment of a new "standard unit" of lumber which would measure 4' wide and 2' high.

This replaces the previously announced unit which was 4'x4'. The committee felt that while the larger unit was efficient for some operations, it was'too heavy-for the light fork-lift equipment employed in many retail yards.

Frank M. Hankins, Jr., of H. H. Hankins & Brother, Bridgeton, New Jersey, representing the National Retail Lum-ber Dealers Association, and George Flanagan of the Elk Lumber Company, Medford, Oregon, representing the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, were cochairmen of the meeting. Other associations represented were Southern Pine Association, Western Pine Association, West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and NationalAmerican Wholesale Lumber Association.

A new standard terminology has been suggested and, when referring to strapped lumber, the joint committee recommends all segments of the lumber industry use the following terms:

PACKET-The term packet should be used to describe lumber (board or dimension) which has been strapped.to form, in most instances, either the 2'x2' packet put up by various mills at the present time, or the regular McCracken packet.

- STANDARD LUMBER UNIT-The actual dimensions of the standard lumber unit will be 4' wide and 2' high. Below is a table showing the number of pieces in the standard unit, and the number of pieces wide and high in which the more popular dimension lumber will be strapped:

packages may be subdivided into packets as described ibove, or in any way mutually agreed upon between the manufacturer and the wholesaler or retailer.

see things here at home that deserve denunciation. tlF:&

The story goes that an American citizen, who was going back to Russia for a visit, told a friend that he would write him about conditions there. If he wrote with black ink, the story he told was true. If with red ink, it was false. This was to get around the censors. A month later his friend got a letter from him written in black ink. He said the people in Russia were very h"ppy, and had everything their hearts could desire. Then he added a postcript, saying the only thing he couldn't find in Russia was red ink. **rr

An Eastern newspaper carries an original slogan that reads: "All of the news most of the time, most of the news all of the time." Conservative, eh? And a sign in front of a small city store reads: "Peddlers beware ! We shoot every tenth peddler ! The ninth one just left !" ***

No reader of history can truthfully say that a man hasn't a chance for self-improvement in Russia. Take the case of Stalin as an example. He rose from a petty thief and convict to be the most brutal and cold-blooded murderer on earth, the destroyer of millions of his own people in cold blood. ***

Music and politics seem sometimes to go hand-in-hand. Jimmy Walker got to be Mayor of New York City by writing a mighty pretty song, "Will You Love Me in December As You Do in May?" Jimmy Davis got elected Governor of Louisiana the first time by writing "You Are My Sunshine," and now he's back in that chair again. Singing made Glenn Taylor the Senator from Idaho. W. Lee O'Daniel became Governor and then Senator from Texas by the use of a hillbilly band. And there have been other examples too numerous to mention.

Pete Von Oosting Now Operoting Glendole Retqil Firm

Glendole Plywood & lumber Co. Moves

To Site of Old Fox-Woodsum Yord

Glendale Plywood & Lumber Company has a brand-new home in an old established location in the Tewel Citv. The progressive plywood concern has taken -over two large warehouses formerly occupied for retail sales by the FoxWoodsum Lumber Company, pioneer retail lumber organization in the valley.

More than 21,0N square feet of inside storage area is available right in the heart of the Glendale eastside industrial district, adjacent to Eagle Rock, Pasadena and Burbank. All of the various imported and domestic materials are on display and most of the species have been used as permanent wall surfacing for customer selection.

Peter J. Van Oosting, secretary-treasurer of the firm, has been identified in wood products sales for the past three decades in Southern California. He is assisted in the administration and management of the organization by his son, Sheldon Van Oosting, who is the president and general manager.

Eunice Culver, well-known lumber gal, is office manager and "girl Friday" in charge of all details. Frank llolmes, order desk salesman, spent many years at this location when he handled the same position for Fox-Woodsum. The old corner is really humming with business again, "and we feel we definitely made the right move when we leased this location," said Pete.

Home-Building Still Logs But August Building Grows in West

The 25 Leadlng Constructlon ilurlsdlctlons of the West

*Unlncorporated

A marked increase in total value of building permits during August in the 13 Western states, contrary to most forecasts in building circles, is reported by Western Building, building trade journal, in its monthly statistical survey just released. Reports from building inspectors in 454 building jurisdictions in the West, which represent about 85/o ol all Western light construction, show dollar value of permits at $534,590,414, an increase of $43 million over the $491,682,468 issued in August a year ago. Number of permits increased slightly, f.rom 66,399 to 66,511.

Home building still shows the effects of tight mortgage money earlier in the year, plus the fact that there has been some extensive tract building in the principal suburban areas of Western cities which has not yet been absorbed. Total residential permits for August amounted to $258,353,398, down from $297,8n,2W a year ago. Number of residential permits was also lower, from 26,822, to 23,019.

Highest increase for any of the states was Arizona, which showed total permits up from $30 million to $50 million. This was largely accounted for in Tucson, which leaped from less than $3 million to over $26 million in other than residential activity. Next healthiest increase was in Hawaii, which went ahead from $71million a year ago to nearly $14 million; all categories, residential and other building, was up.

Oregon also advanced by some $13 million, from $24 million to over $37 million. Wyoming was ahead in all four classes. both in number and dollar volume of total and residential permits, over a year ago; and the state of Washington passed Oregon slightly to take third place in the West with $38 million in permits, up $4 million from last year at the same time. Home building was down about $2 million, however, with Oregon maintaining the same level as 1959. Montana and Nevada were both ahead in dollar volume of total building and homes, but down slightly in the number of permits.

California, too, was ahead $5 million in total building, but the big jump was in other than residential, with home building off from $213 million to $180 million.

CIVIC AUDITORIUM, BROOKS HALL

White Fir Grode Chqnge Neqred ot WPA Xleeting

White Fir Dimension grading rules, standardized and acceptable to both Western Pine and West Coast grading bureaus, moved a big step nearer actuality during Western Pine Association's semi-annual meeting week, Sept. 12-17.

In a Portland confab September 13 between the two associations, agreement was reached (1) to draw up specific grading rules for White Fir, (2) to retain present WCLA grade names, and (3) make certain revisions in rules as they tlow appear in the grade books of the two regional groups.

- ttre changes represent slight readjustment of standards as regards skip, wane, splits and knots.

The accord was ratified Sept. 16 by the Western Pine Association's board of directors after having been approved the previous day by the association's Grading committee.

FINGERJOINTED sTuDs, beginning to appear on mill production lines, get the once-over from wPA leaders (left to right) President l. D. Bronson, Yakima; Research Chairman R. A. Blaser, Phoenix; the WPA secretarymanager, W. D. Griffee, Portland, and WPA research director, C. A. Rasmussen, Portland

If approved by the West Coast grading ,committee at a meeiing October 20, they will 99 into effect as soon as sradini supplements are published.

Th"e plair would standardize the grade names of Construction, Standard, Utility and Economy for the four non-stress Dimension grades of White Fir produced in the 12 states covered by the two regional grading services.

Attendance of. 226 member company representatives at the fall meeting of WPA was but 14 under last year's and kept up the association's fine record of meeting interest.

In another of the major actions, the Board approved an Executive committee recommendation that the Association contribute 6 cents per M to the National Wood Promotiou Program without increase in WPA dues rate. This r,vould supplement the region'6 current contributions to the progr-m, now being made by individual mills on a voluntary issessment basis. The Board authorized appointment of a special committee to study the situation and feport to the Executive committee in December. This would be the basis for final decision on the matter next spring.

Preceding this action, the Board heard an 1d{res9 by Mortimer B. Doyle, executive vice-president of NLMA on "Our Industry's Greatest Challenge." Doyle questioned whether the lumber industry is waging the necessary allout effort to protect and improve its markets.

While complimenting the industry's combined and individual effort to date, he cited promotion in competitive fields and loss of realization for lumber products in the market place as pointing tciward need to consolidate gains already made by the National Wood Promotion Program.

Failure to sustain efforts already made will concede the field to competitive materials, he said.

Doyle also stressed that Western Pine action on an increased NWPP program should be thoroughly studied,

a nome IhoI has meanl SincereService in lumber since l9I4 , . .

W E N D t I N G.

}IAIHAI{ COTN PANY

should be based entirely on a dollar-and-cent value and should be made to aid unity in the industry and to prejudice no element within or between regional associations.

The board dispatched a telegram to Secretary of Agri- culture Benson protesting the set-aside of a Glacier Peak Wilderness Area in Washington State comprising nearly 500,000 acres, considerably more than had been discussed at hearings last fall in Winatchee and Bellingham.

An estimated 3l billion feet of mature and overmature timber appears to be locked up by the Forest Service action, the telegram said, with a serious adverse effect on the economy of north central Washington communities.

Extension of the Association's field trade-promotion work was voted with approval of the Promotion committee's plan to employ a representative for the Southwest region, and a supervisor of field men's activities to work in and out of the Portland office.

Angels Lumber Compony Opens New El tlonte Ysrd ond Store After Tempororily "Doing Business" in Circus Tent After Fire

Angels Lumber Company, the El Monte, Calif., retail yard which rose from a very modest beginning 10 years ago to become one of the largest operations of its type, reached another milestone, August 19, when it reopened in modern new facilities at 12260 East Garvey Avenue after having been razed in a disastrous fire last February. The new showroom building of cantilever-type construction which replaces the old one provides 8,000 feet of floor space in which 25 persons will be employed.

Sidney Kline, owner of the retail lumber business, refused to be daunted by the fire and immediately ordered a huge circus tent put up last winter. lle was temporarily "back in business" within 30 days.

When interviewed this August, Dealer Kline tqld The El Monte Herald, "I'm glad that we can finally move into our

permanent quarters so that we can handle an even greater variety of merchandise while still maintaining our policy of 'No Seconds or Irregulars.' All merchandise will be firstquality only.

"Another policy," Kline continued, "which will be maintained will be the policy of cheerfully refunding the purchase price of any article with which the customer is dissatisfied.

aim is not only to make friend out of each new

Plans were made to present a gala entertainment program for the reopening, starting at 9:00 a.m., with prizes galore. Two "treasure chests" were to be one of the highlights, with every customer and visitor receiving a key; the holder of the "right Key" which would open the chest received the grand prize.

Owner Sidney Kline assisted the Angels Lumber & Hardware "Buccaneer Girl," Judy Dunn, in cutting the ribbon for the grand opening of the rebuilt yard and store. They were assisted by George Agamalian, San Gabriel Valley district manager of Glidden Paint Co. Phil Leibowitz is store manager of the El Monte yard for Angels Lumber Company.

Following the weekend opening, Kline reported the most enthusiastiC reception Angels had ever experienced at the operation during^the first-three days of th-e 3-week grandopening sale.

fttilitory Housing Builders Form Notionol Trqde Associotion

Washington, D.C.-A new national trade association to represent builders of family housing for service personnel and dependents on military installations throughout the United States will be known as The Military Housing Association. The new organization is headed by Texas contractor llenry E. Williams, Jr., whose Dallas firm of Williams & Dunlap has built nearly 3,000 military housing units in Kansas, Texas and Louisiana.

The Association opened its national headquarters on Sept. 26, at 1737 De Sales St., N.W., Washington 6, D.C., with Williams as president, Ralph Kaul of Mclean, Va., as vice-president, Los Angeles builder Elias Miller as secretary-treasurer, and Austin, Texas, attorney Jake Jacobsen as general counsel.

\.Viiliams said the primary objective of the Association is to obtain a sweeping reform of the existing military.housing program, the so-called Capehart Program, and the esta6tistrrient of fair and workible procedures which could save millions of dollars for the taxpayers as well as for the builders engaged in constructing this housing.

He charged that blunders by military administrators, many of them completely unfamiliar with !9qs_i1g 9on- struition, have resulted in a log-jam of $150,000,000 .to $200,000,000 in unsettled claims against the government by

Aluminum Pre-Fqbs Now?

The nation's biggest home manufacturer, National Ilomes Corp., says its higher-prlced line sells faster than lower-cost models. Last year, most popula,r model was a 900-square'foot unit.

Prime objective is to demonstrate that a manufactured home can be built easier a,nd at less cost than one built conventionally or with lumberyard-type components. ilim Pease, ilr., of Pease Woodwork Co., Hamilton, Ohio' is ha,ndling the project.

contractors who have performed their work but are unable to collect their money.

"The basic fault in the program, which threatens financial disaster for hundreds of reputable businessmen who entered the program in good faith, lies in the fact that military arrthorities have arbitrarily taken control of the program away from the civilian Federal Housing Administration," Williams said.

"This high-handed procedure," he said, "is in direct defiance of the expressed will of Congress which. stipulated when it passed the so-called Capehart military housing bill in 1955 that responsibility for the program should rest with the FHA."

More than 90,000 of the 120,000 units authorized under the Capehart bill already have been completed. Mgrtgages on these units are insured by the FHA and paid by the Defense Department out of the quarters allowances provided for military families.

Williams said there is an urgent need for the establishment of equitable processing, claims and inspection procedures. Hi said that present inspections by military officials without previous housing experience have resulted in excessive costs to the taxpayer, far above the cost of comparable civilian housing.

Williams said the new Association's Washington counsel will be Andrew P. Murphy, Jr., former legislative representative for the National Association of Home Builders, with Robert F. Loftus, until recently public relations director for NAHB, as public relations counsel to the MHA.

Pine Logging Company of California will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of American Forest Products. Veteran lumberman Robert Grimmett, founder and president of Pine Logging, will remain in the organization 1s an executive officer and consultant.

The affiliation of the two companies through this transaction culminates an association that has existed for nearlv 3p years. In the early 1930s, Robert Grimmett, a pioneer Oregon lumberman, sold his Klamath Falls sawmill and invested the proceeds in a mill near the fast-growing Fresno district. At that time, two box factories in the area closed, leaving Fresno without a major box factory. Grimmett, qeeling an outlet for his box lumber, encouraged Walter S. Johnson, now board chairman of American Forest Products Corporation, to build General Box Distributors, today one of the largest box factories in the West. This proved a mutually beneficial association, providing General Box with a continuous source of supply and Pine Logging with a reliable outlet.

A few years later, Tarter, Webster & .fohnson-American's lumber sales subsidiary, entered the picture and an agreement was established whereby TW&J handled the sales of Pine Logging's upper grades.

Pine Logging's Fresno operations, including dry kilns, planing mill, remanufacturing, storage and shipping facilities,. are adjacent to American's General Box and TW&J holdings. The Shaver Lake sawmill is just minutes away from American's sawmill operation at Dinkey Creek. Aiquisition of these properties by American Forest Products will provide enlarged and completely integrated services to lumber and container customers.

Scenic New R.oqd Set in R.edwoods

A l7-mile stretch of highway lined by massive redwoods was christened The Avenue of the Giants at elaborate dedication ceremonies, August 27, in the picturesque Redwood Empire community of Scotia, Calif. This section of the Redwood Highway (U.S. 101) will be maintained as a scenic route through the forest. Many of the woodland giants along the route are more than 20 centuries old and over 300 ft. high.

The first unit of the Redwood Freeway, a $36-million project, has been completed and work on the second unit is well underway. The 43-mile Freeway will speed traffic through that part of Humboldt county while The Avenue of the Giants, which winds through the forest, will remain a leisurely route for tourists.

The meeting was given over to short talks and reminiscences of Mr. LeMaster's Hoo-Hoo activity and work as editor of WEstern BUILDing Review in Sacramento. He is a past Snark of the Univeise of the fnternational Concatenated O_rder, a Rameses, and presently the longtime Seer of the House of Ancients.

Sports-minded Black Cats of Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club 2, their guests and lumbermen of the Southland enjoyed a full day of sports when the social season of the fraternity "blasted-off" with a bang at beautiful Hacienda Country Club in La Habra, September 30.

Sixty-two golfers participated in the mountain-climbing tournament which got underway promptly at 10:30 a.m. under the direction of Don Gow, Wally Lingo and Harvey Koll. This is truly a "sportsmen's" course and they say mountain goats are sometimes used for caddies.

The event attracted some of the best lumbermen golfers in spite of the rough going, and sharp-eyed George Carneron won the low gross with a 75. It seems that Ted Bolte really placed low, but he didn't stay for the banquetso-o-o-didn't get the trophy.

In the First Flite, Don Gow made a net 70 for lst place and Rex Wall with a 7l came in 2nd. Allen Taylor with a net 65 won the Second Flite, and Harold Cole followed up with a net 67 for 2nd place. Lynn Hansen walked away with the Third Flite, winning with a net 65, and popular Wally Lingo won the retailer's prize with a net7l.

John Nowak, with a 74 gross, was the guest-golfer of the day and carried off the trophy.

Rex Wall donated two perpetual trophies for the 1960-61 golf season. The Wall Dry Kiln trophy will perpetuate throughout the year to the low-gross winners, and the Max Hardwood prize will circulate among the low-net winners.

During the cocktail hour, more than 125 social-minded "Cats" participated in the card games, visiting and elbowbending. Many new and old faces were seen in groups but several of the truly popular members were not among those present.

During this time, young Bob Smith was busy selling dinner tickets and promptly at 7:09 p.m., Snark John Osgood

put the shorv on the road by starting the drawing for the door prizes, and by this method everybody was seated quickly, if not quietly.

The splendid cuisine at the Hacienda included lobster and prime rib and was meticulously prepared and servecl by the well-trained club personnel.

gave a quick shot for National Forest Products week. He also plugged for prompt payment of annual dues.

The club presented past president Harold Cole with a fine golf-bag cart in recognition of a good job well-done during the season just past.

Osgood promised the membership bigger and better social and sports events if they in return would help build the attendance. In all, he, too,_ got o{ 19 a good running start as chief administrator of club activitres.

As at all well-conducted social affairs, the "piece de resistance" was scheduled for the last spot on the program. So immediately following dinner, Johnny introdu-ed John R. Maluvius, racing secretary and handicapper for the I{ollywood Turf Club, who held the interest of more than 100 members for well over an hour with color movies of outstanding events of historical interest that have taken place at Hollywood over a period of years.

It was a beautiful program and well-received, as evident by the many, many questions the boys asked Mr. Maluvius. It certainly appears that most lumbermen are interested in the bangtails, in particular Frank Kelly, who must have asked a million questions.

Before closing the meeting, Prexy Osgood thanked the membership for such a fine attendance at the first meeting of the year. He outlined the schedule of coming events and promised tournaments at the "better" golf clubs. He called special attention to the next meeting, which will be held at beautiful Palos Verdes Country Club and will include a Concatenation of Kittens.

"This big day has been scheduled for your entertainment on November 4, and I would appreciate it very much if all of you present tonight would get behind the movement and drive for new members, because we need them," said John.

The big annual Christmas party has been scheduled for f)ecember 16, he concluded.

t5orne Guslomers Decrlers lf,eel An Editorial

The retail salesman meets many types of buyers and prospective buyers, and he must be prepared to "handle" each of them as the necessity arises. Among the types he meets are these:

1. The Good-Natured Customer: He smiles at your efforts. Smile with him, and laugh at your own expense when you get the chance. It helps the sale.

2. The Doubting Customer: He questions and doubts every statemont you make. Definite facts and figures in con€rete form help a lot with this fellow.

3. The Disputative Customer: Welcomes an argument so he can show his knowledge of certain subjects. A mild form of combat pleases him. Cater to this notion of his, but be careful not.to overstep the mark.

4. The Taciturn Customer: One of the hardest types to

handle. He puts out nothing you can turn to as showing interest. Watch the eye of this fellow, and be less talkative than with the average buyer. In the language of the bridge player, you've got to "finesse".this type of buyer.

5. The Technical Customer: Usually a professional man of some sort. Never "guess" with him. You must KNOW and BE SURE of what you tell him about your goods and materials.

6. The Impolite Customer: Rarely met by the potfe salesman. But when you do meet one, match his impoliteness with your good manners. It may not help you a lot, but it won't give him additional things to fuss about.

7. The Customer Who Cannot Say Yes: There are lots of these, and they are hard to handle. The salesman has to be smart enough to be buyer and seller both, and to close the sale when he shows weakness, sign it, and get out of there.

8. The Price Buyer: Ray Saberson says that the toughest time in the life of the average merchant is when a guy with a bill of materials in one hand, and a roll of good American money in the other, walks up to the dealer's desk, lays down the materials list, and says: "Now figger, by gummy !"

Norby & Polmer Lumber Sqles Opens

Wholesole Offices in Fullerton

Two veteran lumber salesmen have opened wholesale offices in Fullerton, California. They are Cornell Norby and King Palmer.

"We have established offices in Fullerton in order to offer a complete service to dealers in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties," said Norby. "Our base of operation is adjacent to the freeways and all the eastside and southern industrial area," he pointed out.

Cornell Norby has been identified for more than 15 years in the wholesale and retail lumber business. For the past 11 years he has been associated with the Clay Lumber Company in lnglewood, and prior to that time spent five years in retail sales. He started his career at the close of World War II and has been selling lumber since that time. Cornell is active in social. civic and church affairs in Fuller-

dealers. For the past several years he has been in charge of Mallco Distributing, a wholesale division of O'Malley Lumber Co., Phoenix, Arizona. King resides in Anaheim with his wife, June, and two children. He, too, is a member of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo and intends to transfer to Los Angeles Club 2.

$4,OOO in 'Ply' Stock to Winners in USPromotion

New YorkEight aggressive and promotion-minded lumber dealers have acquired ownership in United States Plywood Corporation as a reward for their outstanding merchandising efforts. The awards to each of $500 in PLY stock (that's the N. Y. Stock Exchange ticker symbol) were made on the basis of dealer presentations following the company's recent Weldwood Vacation-Time Projects promotion.

A board of independent judges recently met in Chicago to select a winner from each of United States Plywood's eight geographical sales divisions. More than 1,500 dealers participated in the promotion, with nearly 100 submitting results of their efforts for judging. The winners included:

House of Plywood, Inc., Denver, Colo.; Van Buren & Co., San Antonio, Tex., and California Builders Supply, Oakland. Calif.

One dealer rented a pony and built a "corral" in the yard's open area to attract parents by offering free rides for children-and while the kiddies were entertained, parents shopped. It was a Win-Place-and Show Promotion, all the way.

Another used a 1910 miniature Ford as his attention-getter. The "car" was decorated with banners and streamers promoting Vacation-Time Frojects. The dealer reports that the stunt really put his yard's name in front of "thousands of people" who never before realized the firm was locatecl in their neighborhood.

"Our targets in this promotion," said Monroe Pollack, USP sales vice-president, "were the dealers who go after retail, homeown-er business with (1) showrooms, (2) advertising and plus-merchandising, and (3) specific Weldwood product displays."

By selling projects rather than individual products, he said, dealeri wound up selling "whole packages of materials, the Big-Ticket sales that mean full profit."

"They were able to do this because customers were more ir-rterested in the project's end use rather than materials tl-rat went into it," he pointed out, and referred to such end values as greater comfort and more room for the customer's family.

To back up dealers during the promotion, United States Plywood ran a two-page, full-color national magazine ad, listing all participating dealers and, concurrent with the promotion, conducted a nationwide sweepstakes contest. The traffic-building prize was a $10,000 Panelbild Holiday llouse.

According to Pollack, dealers are still making the promotion pay off,{argely through follow-up leads developed as a result of the Holiday House sweepstakes.

"Many entrants listed on their entry blanks projects or improvements that they wanted in their homes," he explained.

An optional feature of the promotion was a local Sweepstakes contest, the pattern for which was provided by United States Plywood's sales promotion department. "This developed even greater store traffic for many dealers than did the national contest," Pollack said.

For the month-long push, the company also provided store-wide promotion kits with which to dress up participating dealers' lumber yards with a "supermarket" appearance, and furnished local advertising aids.

Personal assistance took the form of sales meetings conducted by Weldwood sales representatives, to increase enthusiasm among dealer personnel by showing them how to make the most effective use of the promotion.

"Presentations submitted by dealers for judging invariably, attested to increased sales as a result of their efforts during our promotion," Pollack said.

Western Division Celebrates With Dinner

Irl Matheny, sales promotion manager, Western division, United States Plywood Corp., Los Angeles, reports that an Award dinner following the close of the contest was held at Jack's restaurant in San Francisco to make awards to the lumber dealers, fabricators, and the USPersonnel. The award-presentation dinner covered the two nationwide sales promotions sponsored by U.S. Plywood, identified as "Weldwood Month" and the "Micarta Sweepstakes Contest."

An official 1,600 lumber dealers participated in the "Weldwood Vacation-Time Project" Program, including the Canadian division. The dealers were furnished with advertising materials, store banners, etc., for use not only on USProducts but to also tie in all of the other products they handled on the vacation-project theme. Priz€ awards weie made on the basis of the best over-all merchandising program.

Among the national winners mentioned above, California Ruilders Supply, Oakland, was in the Western sales promo- tion division handled bv Irl Matheny for U.S. Plvwood. The firm is located at /4tn and Cypress Sts. The #estern

mitted the list of 19 to U.S. Plywood Corp. with the comment that their promotions had been so excellent that they just barely missed winning first prizes in their particu- lar divisions. Out of these 19 dealers so honored, four were in the Western division sales-promotion area:

Entz-White Lumber & Supply, 909 E. Camelback Road, Phoenix, Ariz.; Myrtle Avenue Lumber Co., 1525 S. Myrtle Ave., Monrovia, Calif.; Central Lumber Co., 5th & Doutv, Ave., Monrovia, venxrar LumDer uo., )tn 6a uouty, Hanford, Calif., and Crown City Lumber & Mill Co.,24OW. Green St., Pasadena, Calif.

Irl Matheny also reports that nine other of his area dealers did an outstanding job in promoting Weldwood Month. These were:

Pine Tree Lumber Co., 111 W. Vista Way, Vista, Calif.; J. Knox Corbett Lumber Co., 4545 E. Speedway Blvd., Tucson, Ariz.; Foxworth-Galbraith Lumber Co., 115 S. McCormick St., Prescott,; Yucca Valley Lumber Co., 55288 Twentynine Palms Highway, Yucca Valley, Calif.; Squires Lumber Company, 370 N. 9th St., Colton, Calif.; Yancey Lumber Cornpany, South lst St., Patterson, Calif.; Builders Square, 57Il S. Sepulveda Blvd., Culver City, Calif.; Needles Hardware & Building Supply, 117 N. K Street, Needles, Calif., and King Lumber Company, 2200 Union Ave., Bakersfield, Calif.

So the competition in the merchandising area was tremendously tough, and CBS Plywood and Mr. Favors can be very pleased with the successful merchandising job for which the board of three Chicago judges awarded them the first prize.

Understonding on Hordwood Plywood lmports qnd Procedures

Charlie Schmitt, head of Atkins, Kroll & Company's imported lumber products division and president of the Imported Hardwood Plywood Assn., along with James R. Sharp of Washington, D.C., the association's general counsel, recently spent a month in Japan conferring with Japanese government and plywood industry officials. Both Schmitt and Sharp, who officially represented IHPA during their month-long stay, were impressed with their attentive and cooperative reception in Japan.

Schmitt and Sharp arrived Tulv 25 in Tokvo. where conferences were held over a period of several weeks with officials of the Japan Plywood Exporters and Manufacturers' Associations, the Japan Plywood Trade Promotional'Committee, and with chiefs of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and of the U.S. and Canadian Section of the Japanese Foreign Office.

The Japanese foreign officials expressed their apprecia- tion to the delegation, stating that this was the first time an American industry had sent a delegation to its sister industry in Japan to discuss American marketing conditions and to visit and hear the problems of the Japanese industry. Both the Japanese and the IHPA delegates expressed belief that the conferences would result in a closer exchange of market conditions, status of mills and information regarding unsold portion of quotas.

Schmitt and Sharp also introduced a uniform claim procedure and form to the Japanese, who indicated they would adopt the form and procedure immediately. The two Americans further informed the Japanese that the IHPA is currently selecting trained inspectors throughout the country who will be available for prompt and efficient handling of claims that arise on shioments.

The Japanese plywood industry, according to officials there, has gone through a growing period of modernization -without the capital reserves necessary to meet their credit requirements for logs and labor which wc,uld enable them to adjust to the existing, reduced American market demand by curtailment of production.

However, according to Japanese mill and export officials, plans are now being developed with the Japanese government and trading firms to provide assistance to the mills to

It wasn't ALL work-Schmitt and Sharp were caught by cameraman at chopsticks (note the waitresses but, f'ewen's sake, don't try to get the ol' lady to do that at home!) enable them to better adjust their production schedules to export consumer requrrements.

The Japanese officials stressed the fact that any curtailment plans to reduce manufacturers' and exporters' quotas would be by means of a suspension rather than by an outright cut of the quota. Should the export market demand pick up past the reduced quota as suspended, part or all of the susoension could be liftecl to allow the cruota to truly reflect th. .or..u-er clemand-ancl prevent creation of artificial shortages.

With the gearing of production and export of plywood to actual overseas consumer demand as their primary aim, the Japanese and ministry officials expressed- conviition that the interchange of information would result in mutual benefits to both the American consLlmer and to tl.re Japanese irrdustry.

The officials stated their hope that other American inclustries would follow suit.

,,PhiI,, CR,EDEN

The industry was stunned earlier this month to hear of the untimely and completely unexpected death of "Phil" Creden in Chicago at the age of 57 and on the very eve of the NRLDA Exposition in San Francisco next monththe annual lumber dealer Expositions of which Mr. Creden as much as any other man was the "father." For the 1960 Exposition, next month, he had been working daily as the Exhibits Chairman.

Phillip H. W. Creden, the nationally known lumber executive and former newspaperman, died Thursday, October 6, while waiting in Golf, Ill., near his suburban home for the commuter train that dailv took him to his work in Chicago, where he had been foi many notable years the director of advertising and public relations for the widespread Edward Hines Lumber Co. "Phil" apparently experienced and died on the spot of a heart attack. Just two days earlier, on October 4, Mr. Creden and his wife Catherine had happily celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary.

Born in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Dec. 30, 1902, Phil Creden studied engineering at M.I.T. After a year in the railroad industry, he joined the staff of The Chicago Daily News as a sportswriter, covering golf and Big 10 football. He had also worked for the old Chicago Examiner and The Chicago Tribune, switching from news reporting to advertising on the "Trib" where, after eight years, he joined the vast Hines lumber enterprise on Jan. 1, 1938, to direct its national advertising and key its Chicago promotions. Mr. Creden was active in all lumber industry organizations, secretary and a director of PPW and chairman of the advertising committee. For the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association. he had been one of the founders of its annual Expositions in 1954 and chairman of the Exposition Committee for three years. He was also active in the National Lumber Manufacturers Association and the Home Improvement Council. Phil Creden had also made appearances as a welcome speaker at the annual conventions of both

Weslern Pine Shipments Reflect Slower Pqce of Housing Stqils

Portland-The report for second quarter, 1960, production and shipments of Western Pine region lumber and estimate of probable third quarter, 1960, shipments, issued by W. E. Grifree, secretarymanag:er of the Western Pine Association, says:

"The continued slump in housing starts made itself increasingly felt during the second quarter in the demand for lumber from sawmills of the Western Pine region. At the same time, lumber was being produced at a near-record rate.

"Preliminary estimates place second-quarter production at 2420 million feet, down only 2.4o/o from the second quarter of last year. Production of 4456 million for the first six months was up 1.4/e from a year ag'o.

"Second-quarter shipments are estimated at 2318 million feet, otr 9.0/o from the booming second quarter of 1959. Shipments for the first half of the year were off 6.7/e.

"Failure of the industry to adjust production to demand has

P.O. Box 2383, Terminql Annex los Angeles 54; Colifornio

boosted mill stocks to about 2191 million feet, up 413 million feet, or 23/6, from the rather inadequate stocks a year ago.

"There are strong: indications that the industry is now going tbrough the trough of the current slump, with mill shipments less than actual lumber use. While timing of the upturn may be difficult to pinpoint, groundwork for it is being laid.

"Housing forecasters all except home building to increase later this year, in spite of uncertainty as to housing legislation. The number of units started during the first four months was otr 2lVo from the busy first four months of 1959, according to revised Census llureau figures. The comparison improved slightly during May but the number of starts still was LTrkEo below last May. With consumer income at a new high a.nd mortgage money showing signs of loosening, housing is expected to start climbing by late summer.

"Consumption of pine woodwork has receded right along with the volume of home construction. At such times the manufacturers and distributors of stock woodwork are inclined to reduce their own inventories, knowing they can be replenished on short notlce. This causes a drop in the demand for factory grades of lumber which is much sharper than the drop in tlre use of woodwork. Right now it is responsible for much of our industry's accumulation of stocks.

"Other temporarily bearish influences are the recent decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission which will reduce the number of cars of lumber in transit and the abnormally low price of plywood sheathing that is competitive urith low-grade sheathing lumber.

"Liquidation of millwork inventories and surplus transit cars both tend to curtail current demand but. once the corrections are

made, should cause orders for lumber from the mills to be much more responsive to actual lumber use.

"Based upon the above factors a.nd all other available information upon prospective demand, it seems probable that, during the , third quarter of 1960, shipments (consumption) of lumber from the Western Pine region will approximate 2400 million feet, or about 6/o below those of the third quarter of 1959. T'his would be at about the same seasonally adjusted rate as actual second quarter shipments."

Feather Falls, Calif.-The 600 residents of this Butte County mountain logging town were ordered to be ready to evacuate at a moment's notice, Sept. 3, after lightning set off a blaze that destroyed 7 million board feet of stacked logs. The timber loss, amounting to $200,000, represented half the stockpile set aside to keep the Georgia-Pacific Corp. pine mills at Feather River going through the winter.

The battle to save the other half of the stockpile was won but it was clear there would be unexpected unemployment for perhaps eight months before Feather Falls gets back to normal.

The fierce blaze was set off jg-st before midnight, Sept. 2, by the lightning strike. Two huge lumber decks, each 1,000 feet long and 50 feet high, went into spectacular flames. No one could remain near the unbelievablv hot. burning decks so firemen did their best and then trained hoses on houses in the town and on three fuel tanks barely 200 yards from the conflagration. CHP Capt. Ralph Walker said the battle to save the town would have been lost had the flames reached one of the tanks.

Joe Lebo, G-P logging' manag'er, told the townspeople, "We will make every attempt to stockpile more lumber before winter snows fall," but he acknowledged there would have to be some curtailment of operations.

The club was pleased to see Jane Adams and Mildred Evans in attendance again, and a welcome letter was read from Past-President Mabel Stasser, now visiting in Denver before her November return to L.A. Corrine Adams showed some of the lovely Christmas cards that will be available from Irene Ridgeway this season.

The capable 1959-60 president, Margaret Gladish, was presented a gift from the members, a beautiful necklace, bracelet and ear-bobs, which excited so much admiration it was wondered if she got home with it.

Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club 2 has again asked the No. 1 Hoo-Hoo-Ettes to join them in an outstanding Christmas party for the deserving youths at the Leroy Boys' Home, and the Iumberwomen have accepted graciously. The party will be December 16 at the Nikabob.

Bessie Stewart, who is now editing the breezy "Cat Tales" bulletin monthly, urged all the members not to miss the gala Luau planned for October 10 at the Downey home of President Bissell. The girls of San Fernando Valley Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club 6 were also invited to ioin with Club No. 1 in this event.

IHPA M'eets in L. A.,5. F.; Weston, Porker Give Tolks

More than 30 San Francisco members of the Imported Hardwood Plywood Assn. and guests attended the r-egular September luncheon and heard a very efiective talk by Tom Parker of M. S. Cowen Company on the services performed by the importer in the purchase and sale of imported plywood.

The Los Angeles area members and friends held their second IHPA luncheon meeting, Sept. 12, at the Chamber of Commerce. Robert J. Weston, general manager of the Bellwood Company, major door manufacturers, was the featured speaker. FIe intelligently discussed the present door market, detailing how the door manufacturer must develop a formula for materials-cost to arrive at selling prices. The problem, as he explained, becomes most dif-

ficult when skin prices fluctuate rapidly. After a discussion period which followed, Chairman John Osgood announced the next meeting for October 13.
